Is it any different from when one sees a state-supported university with paid sponsorships of events or of stick and ball sport teams/stadiums?

Not sure any of those are the best use of financial resources for a public university, BTW.

BTW, just want to mention my comment is what I think when I see complaints against the regs.

I understand the desire to have cars which push the limits on what a race car can do, but I also see the desire to watch skilled drivers figure out how to get the most out of whatever it is they're piloting

Granted, I'm not deep into the technical side of motorsports, but what I keep coming back to is:

If F1 drivers are indeed the best in the world, shouldn't they be expected to learn and adapt to whatever spec they're given, and work to extract the absolute most from it?

Nice

It's the hope I'm clinging to! ๐Ÿคฃ

So glad this is a one and done.

Having a dispute with the dealer over a recently purchased pre-owned vehicle. It's incredibly frustrating that instead of doing the right thing and eating a small cost, they're digging in on the, "Well technically..." argument.

Empty the bucket and then refill it a short while later

As a 20 year old I bought Demon Days when it was first released because I liked a couple of their singles. Didn't really like it.

15 years later I gave it a full listen for the first time in a long long time and loved it. Can't point to a specific thing that changed in me to make me like it, though

Heck of a job by him and his team

It was a pretty good race!

You're going to start displaying this behavior as well pretty soon, if you haven't already! ๐Ÿคฃ

Yeah, I thought he did a nice job in the booth today!

Time change overnight here in the US. Tonight or tomorrow is a great time to pop some fresh batteries in any smoke or CO detectors which have removable battery backup!

And while doing that, check the production date on the device โ€” it might be needing replacement due to age!

...IndyCar doesn't have stages.

But then they have the timing and scoring going during this side-by-side. I'm so confused.

Very good point!

I don't think I'd be proud if my fellow drivers voting me as the sketchiest driver.

Rinus, baby, what were you thinking there?

In the interim, here's this:

Would be nice if Fox could get their timing and scoring to consistently work

Would!

I think I'll get lucky today, there are only four of us, three from the web team, here at the moment!

Yup! It's off in most of mine as well, for that same reason. ๐Ÿคฃ

Ok, Matt... you'll be in the office in person today. Even though you don't have any meetings, if you hear somebody say something stupid, remember to not make that one face you tend to make.

I don't recall, have they said it'll be available there? Or do we just need to take advantage of an Apple TV subscription getting you access to F1 TV Premium for the F2/F3 stuff?
