I don't think the war will end until Putin dies. Whether that be next week or in 20 years.

There's no way for Putin to retreat and save face. The world can't afford to allow Russia to win. It will be a horrible stalemate of slaughter until Putin dies and can be blamed by both sides, to be able to negotiate a way out.

I like Ricciardo, he's a nice guy. But IMO, he's not a no. 1 driver. There really is no shame in that. To obtain a drive in F1 and retain it year after year is an immense achievement in itself. You need a certain level of cockyness, but drivers like Perez and Bottas have done well accepting they are not the best driver. They are bloody good racers, just not the best.

I fear Danny Ric will be too hard on himself the first year if this happens and push too hard, expecting to match verstappen. He strikes me as a confidence driver. When things go badly, he gets in a rut. In contrast, when he was having success, it bred more confidence and more good results.

Really hope I'm wrong. It would be great to see him back to his happier days.

A device to allow me to spread cream cheese evenly on a bagel without getting all over my fingers.

I'm thinking some sort of rotating bagel mount with a silicone tapered spike.

Instead of fining drivers, how about a "sin bin".

A mandatory session sit out requiring another driver to take their place. Serious offences could be one or more weekends out, minor offences just one or more practice sessions.

This has no bearing on driver earnings, other than future contracts based on penalties. It also gives more chances for reserve and junior drivers to get a drive.

Edit: Now I'm imagining a top gear stig waiting in the wings for a driver error. Maybe the stand-in drivers are picked at random from an FIA approved list rather than the team themselves.

The old Microsoft approach, slowly make it shitter, then charge you (make you upgrade) to remove the shit we've snuck in.

Yes, it's just to support the dev.

Seems a bit excessive to want to remove that one option to streamline the UI. I could understand if there were dozens of root menu items, but it seems fairly unobtrusive to me.

Cold turkey is the only way, for your mental health and the quicker demise of the cesspit that is reddit.

Wow, excellent initial release, looks and works great.

Paid the ad free doo-hickey without hesitation. Don't recall seeing any ads beforehand.

Both are quoting daily mail as their source.

Might be true. Daily Mail does occasionally accidentally report facts.

It comes down to the talent pool and its size. There are not enough female racing drivers yet.

Need more young girls/women in karting/feeder series. Unfortunately, that likely won't happen until a talented woman "makes it" into f1.

For years, people have been pinning hopes on different upcoming drivers to be the one.

Its probably going to take a talented woman who is capable of beating more than half the field of men before they get a chance, unfortunately. Rather than just being better than a few of the current drivers, which is unfair.

This might be worth a look

Personally, intro-skipper is my absolute must-have.

Also, media cleaner is good for those who watch a lot of content but then don't want to keep it. It's controversial as most users want to keep content. But you can configure to keep your favourites. I do this for films, but then tv shows I watch once and let it clean up after me as I don't care to see it again. Combined with the *arrs for fetching content, it means I don't need to ever manage tv shows.

What really is a swear word?

The drivers should make up new words, repeat them, use them in anger often. Encourage others around them to join in.

We need a 2025 New Swear Word Awards!

Noooo!

Hopefully, someone else carries on the good work. It's a very nifty little plugin. It has a few issues (though that might just be my underpowered server), but when it works it's great.

So 25,000 euros to cross the track? Miami prices are a bit steep. How much to add an ounce of caviar to that?

Same here...

Underpowered server is what I suspect. It's taking too long to extract subtitles that it times out. Subsequent requests will work as the result is cached once it eventually finishes.

My workaround was to use external subtitles to remove the need to extract. If you're using the *arrs checkout bazarr.
