Mediocre human being at best giving it the full 30% most of the time. All my opinions are mainly those of others.

The fact is that 50 years ago your instruction manual of your BMW would tell you how to change a light. Now it just tells you not to drink the oil. (I remain of the opinion that we shouldn’t tell people this and let nature take its course).

PS; voor wauwelaars die het over 'motoren heel houden' hebben: Bijna een halve eeuw terug (!) draaiden F1 motoren zoals de huidige al op het .. dubbele vermogen, van nu

Uit een 1.5 viercilinder turbomotortje, toen (Nu 1.6 V6)

Ondanks de op papier grotere vermogens nu is het flut. Nep. Fake. Prut

I remember Clarkson comparing a Dutch Supercar (Spyker C8) to a botten feeding fish. So perhaps low by the ground is the only way the Dutch can be of any significance.

I had that with Scott Speed. The best name for a driver ever. Should have been a comic book. Sadly his talents were limited in #F1

I believe the combined global IQ is a constant. The problem is the population keeps growing.

No, it shouldn’t. It’s not a good racing movie, it’s not an interesting human story. It’s just expensive and extensively promoted.

The fact that an #F1 driver tries to steer even without front πŸ›ž tells a lot about their mental state of mind I think.

AI Used to Promote Non-Existent Evacuation Flights From the Middle East - bellingcat A Dutch newspaper published a story about private evacuation flights from Dubai, but the photo shows signs of AI generation and the flights appear never to have existed.

De Telegraaf, the Netherlands’ largest newspaper, recently published an interview with a woman promoting €1,600 seats on private evacuation flights from Dubai. Bellingcat found that her image was likely AI-generated, and flight data suggests no such plane took off. www.bellingcat.com/news/2026/03...
