If the rest of the season is like the first four laps in Aussie, I'm all in for the new regs #F1

Exactly what my other half did to me a few years back. Go for it, teardrop camping is fun!!

I can only speak for myself, but the removal of busy work leaving me with the interesting thinking bits changed my work situation 10 times for the better. I hope to do the same for all the engineers at my employer. Ultimately we will do more with less resources.

I'm lucky enough that my last usage of commercial cad was more than 20 years ago, so I did not carry any baggage when learning FreeCAD. When playing with CadQuery, I came to the conclusion that creating anything complex would not be as productive as using a cad with a UI.

FreeCAD: Your own 3D parametric modeler FreeCAD, the open source 3D parametric modeler

Also try FreeCAD www.freecad.org It is a proper cad system that can also be programmed using python, and if you really like CadQuery, there is an extension for that.

Take heart. I read a lot of the replies and the impression I have is that none of these people use AI in a productive setting. I would not touch the topic on this site as the technical users will likely not respond because of the hysteria and lack of insight you saw in your replies

The top one looks like Talladego (Nascar), although Talladega is about 2.7 miles long. Yes, it is quite boring for an F1 fan to see them going round and round.

I'm definitely shouting for the McLaren drivers this year, but damn you cannot help applaud Max's drive. Astounding! #F1

09.11.2025 18:38 ๐Ÿ‘ 2 ๐Ÿ” 0 ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0 ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Business as usual. Max letting his engineer know he is going all out and damn the consequences, while George whines on the radio. #F1

I did not think Max would stop again. Now we have a different picture

Can Norris make up 7.5 seconds to Max and then pass in 20 laps. Max is a phenomenon! #F1 #SaoPaulo

Max in with a chance of the podium? He is cutting through the field like a hot knife through butter. #F1 #SaoPaulo

How did Charles get to the podium? Ferrari accidentally muted the strategy person's radio... #F1 #mexico

Same. Looks like it may be resolved now

Antonelli, my boy! Invert position #f1

Jacques?? NO!

Time for Antonelli to get on the radio to Bitch about George's speed! #f1 #mexico

George Russell is such a moaner. If he is so much faster than Antonelli, he should just pass him on the track, not rely in the team to give orders. #f1 #mexico

Wild race so far. Let's see who gets penalized. Loved Bearman's pass on Max

Just caught up on the women's Omnium in Chile. Lorena Wiebes is an absolute monster! So good.

Anybody knows what happed to Laurens Sweeck? I saw he put a foot down, but he really just gave up in the last few corners. Feeling guilty about the Vandeputte incident?

Justed teed up the F1 Sprint race. What on earth happened? Will wait until this afternoon after a few beers with friends to go into expert mode and assign blame...

Now I want a nice Hopgoblin IPA! The last time I was in the UK they still brewed at Wychwood. And I could occasionally find some bottles in Chicago, but no longer.

Destin Brewery IPA with habanero and mango. It is raining here so we are sadly "forced" to do brewery hunting
