5·2 years agoYou may have a point. That chicken definitely looks underage.

Formula 1@lemmy.world•2023 Las Vegas Grand Prix - Race Schedule
5·2 years agoI think FOM have got themselves in a difficult position because they wanted a night race for the spectacle (so much more important than the racing). But doing it on the western side of America makes it tricky time-wise for their biggest audience. The ultra-late racing is probably a compromise that’ll please no one.

Formula 1@lemmy.world•Marko: "Perez must comply now, we must stop this negative spiral"
2·2 years agoExactly! Perez is probably done as a RBR driver, but shit like this is hardly going to help matters.

Formula 1@lemmy.world•[Martin Brundle] It’s races like Qatar and very rainy days which make F1 drivers look the heroes and athletes they are.
9·2 years agoThat’s very much the old school macho mindset that was prevalent in F1 when Brundle was driving.
I don’t think many of the current drivers buy into that.

Formula 1@lemmy.world•Marko: "Perez must comply now, we must stop this negative spiral"
22·2 years agoI can’t imagine anything more likely to encourage a driver than being publicly bad-mouthed by Marko.
I mean, it’s never failed to work before has it?

3·2 years agoNorris would be a significant upgrade but he’s not currently available and I can’t see McLaren letting him go without a fight.
Never was a great fan of Murray Walker TBH. The combo of Murray and James Hunt was classic though. Murray would spout a load of bollocks and James, sounding half-pissed (which he probably was), would put him right.

Formula 1@lemmy.world•McLaren | New World Record Holders! 1.80s, the fastest ever Formula 1 pit-stop!
15·2 years agoThey’re half a second behind one of the Red Bulls. The other one seems to have given up. If McLaren can regularly put two drivers on the podium then RBR have a problem next year.

6·2 years agoLighting was Wright’s speciality. The Alchemist is pretty epic too.

3·2 years agoYes, the architectural detail is amazing.

Traditional Art@lemmy.world•Baby Unicorn by Lauren MarxEnglish
3·2 years agoWell it is a cart horse with a bloody great spike on top of its head. What is more surprising is that anyone ever thought of unicorns as being cute.

Technology@lemmy.world•Amazon Prime Video is able to remove a video from your library after purchase.English
2·2 years agoYes, I mostly buy from Qobuz and Bandcamp these days, and they’ve been solid so far. But I don’t trust keeping my files in the cloud (aka some else’s server), I buy DRM-free, keep copies locally, and keep them backed up.

Technology@lemmy.world•Amazon Prime Video is able to remove a video from your library after purchase.English
51·2 years agoExactly, it’s not news. If you buy DRM-encoded media you don’t own it. You are just leasing it on terms decided by the seller, which are subject to change at their whim.
Buy DRM-free or physical media and make your own copy.
Yes, when I have used Edge it’s been absolutely fine. Probably better than Chrome. I’d likely be quite happy to use it most of the time if it wasn’t for the fact that Microsoft are so intent on forcing me to do so.
I mostly use Vivaldi now which I think is by far the best of the Chromium-based browsers.

Traditional Art@lemmy.world•The Crucifixion Of Holy Saint Adolf by Adolf Wölfli (1864 - 1930)English
3·2 years agoI think in this case the madness pre-dated the religion.



Exactly. Most of us have encountered that person at some point in our lives.
