    @taiwan_girl said in Miami Grand Prix: I dont know much about the FI racing, but I admire the technology. HOwever, it seems to me that money has a much more impact on the finish order than in other types of racing. For example, if you took the results (first to last) and switched the drivers (first place driver moves to the last place car, last place driver moves to 1st place car, 2nd place driver moves to second to last car, etc.), I am not sure the results would be that much difference. Not saying that there is anything wrong with that, I do realize that the drivers are incredibly talented, but it seems for of an uneven field than other sports It's not just about the drivers, it's about developing the cars - it's a team sport with hundreds of people in a team, with the driver as one of the key members of the team. Typically, the best drivers get to drive the best cars, so I don't think it's true that swapping them around wouldn't make any difference. If you take the top two drivers of the last few years, Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen - they have both completely dominated their team mates, who get to drive in the identical car. Now, the car might be designed more around their top driver, so it's not necessarily a straight competition, but it's clear if you look at the results that it's not just the car. In yesterday's race, the lead Red Bull and Ferrari were significantly quicker than both of their team mates, and that's been the case throughout the season.

    Yes, when you dump a body, always check the depth. It takes a little longer, but it is the right way to do it.

    Here's a question: can't economic sanctions work in concert with Kremlin propaganda to radicalize the populace? Make Russians more WWIII-friendly?

    @Doctor-Phibes said in World's first: @Aqua-Letifer said in World's first: @Doctor-Phibes said in World's first: I'm pretty sure Algore.com came first Might've come first, but TrumpInternet.com was far and away the most successful. I think you mis-typed, as that site doesn't exist. Maybe you meant this one? I do not. In fact, I mean this. And we know for a fact it's Trump's website because, according to Joel Veitch, "it doesn't do anything except tell you how wonderful it is."

    @Horace said in This is CNET: I wrote a scathing review of an air fryer which is skyrocketing up the "helpful" charts on the product's page on Amazon. Instant is all but going bankrupt over it. No big deal. We need a "like" button.

    @jon-nyc said in Mothers Day dinners?: @Aqua-Letifer said in Mothers Day dinners?: Seafood at a hole-in-the-wall place that should charge twice as much as they do. Shouldn’t this be in the glory hole thread? Not your sister's hole in the wall, not your sister's seafood, not your sister's rates.

    Antonio Brown, presumably. “All that is cap,” is probably supposed to be "all that is Kaep". But yes, as a white person I have no opinion on this that anybody should ever listen to, but it's obvious to everybody that Kaepernick is about as black as your neighborhood white guy is. Same with lots of people who cash in on their "blackness". Megastar musician Drake comes to mind. These are the sorts of "black" people your neighborhood progressive white women would love to be dear, dear friends with.

    There was a Clancy book where China invaded Russia, The Bear and the Dragon, which China called the 'Northern resource Zone'. Not far from the truth.
