Really fun qualifying. A lot of laps that looked good but seemed to have their tires die by S3. Norris ended up with only green sectors and pulled a tenth over Leclerc. Must have balanced it perfectly.

I only see bleem rocks though. Where are people getting 3 and 4 from?

Sometimes it feels like being happy that Trumpers are suffering is like cheering when a disease dies with the host. It’s a momentary happiness that the Balrog fell… milliseconds before you realize it’s pulling you down with it.

Truly the Ring Pop in the crown of F1.

So Ollie is on a push lap while Sainz is parked up ahead on a slow lap. Ollie goes through the chicane and the panel looks yellow. Then this video begins. He sees the second panel while the car is loaded up, approaching a corner. Ollie brakes and goes passed the nearly stationary Williams.

Is it even possible to load up the car and slam on the brakes just to brake before a car going less than half your speed? Did Ollie get punished because Monaco is a bad / awkward track?

“Verstappen congratulating Gasly on another win.”

I distinctly remember the two Kevins as hosts around the time I watched G4TV. I ended up playing a game called Blockland for years after they showed it on air. Somehow I never realized Kevin Rose went on to become that Kevin Rose.

He did say he would fuck his daughter if she weren’t his daughter.

Monaco camera work

175 billion dollars to build a thing in just a few years that’s meant to protect America from attacks…

What attacks? Terrorists hijacking planes? Russians capturing the presidency? Right wing extremism? School shootings?

There’s nothing immediate. And some trumpy dome doesn’t sound like we’re future proofing anything but Lockheed Martin’s bank accounts.

Worse, it’s an image of Britain.

Doesn’t it undermine your faith in leadership knowing the people you vote for are capable of paying attention?

Trump rolled out tariffs 8 years ago and they fucked the economy. Trump went on and on about tariffs, AGAIN, and a bunch of people connected the dots and sold. YEARS after the first round of tariffs.

Only psychopathic greedy corrupt assholes could figure out how to sell stocks in time. Nobody else could have seen it coming.

Non-Americans: 21? I’ve been drinking since I was 10.

Non-Americans: I don’t understand this shit.

SO is a collaborative encyclopedia of technical discussion that tries to be relevant, be practical, and to not constantly repeat topics.

LLMs can’t provide that structure, they just shit out answers.

Most people think SO is a help desk and don’t appreciate the structure and just want it to shit out an answer.

Maybe SO isn’t dying so much as a cancerous growth is being treated.

This website hijacked my browser history so when I press ‘back’ I get taken to ads. Great post dude.

He’s right. I went to highschool with 50 kids per class, where teachers played on their phones, or hid in their office, or just switched jobs requiring year round substitutes. I took remedial math because that was what had room, and when my teacher realized that he looked like he died inside a little bit.

He’s right… in that AI is better than some teachers. AI is a step up for some kids.

It sounds like a joke but I really had someone stop me on the street to ask for the time and when I said 2:30 they asked “AM or PM?” I guess a 24 hour clock would’ve prevented that.

IIII was the way Romans usually wrote 4. It’s associated with simplicity / illiteracy. But also depended on era, region, intended audience, or practicality. I think the most famous example is the coliseum using LIIII.

There’s still variation even now; standardization is relatively new, and it’s not common knowledge. And dates… it’s like every 50-100 years people decided to write them differently.

I get anxiety thinking about thinking about “two sides.” It’s like alarm bells going off. Us vs them, simple and easy to understand explanation for current event, anything a frustrated or cynical person would generate automatically, etc.

TWO. SIIIIDES.

I love it. “Here’s a petition to betray the country. Any separatists come forward and put your name on this list.”

It will save sooooo much time.
