The fun thing with Musk is it’s now impossible to determine whether he’s lying, doing something stupid, or simply inaccurately reporting something someone who actually knows what they’re talking about told him.

With this move, he has truly achieved fractal wrongness.

I don’t think Sainz is doing poorly or anything, but he’s hardly setting the world on fire either. I’m not sure the leverage is particularly in his favour here, Ferrari have Leclerc already and there’s several drivers of at least the same or similar calibre to Sainz who they could look at as alternatives. So I’m not sure the threat really works. Not saying they’d definitely be looking elsewhere off their own back, just that if that’s his attitude they have no reason not to and they’d find other ways to go. Why rock the boat?

I think at this point the most likely scenario in this regard is that if Daniel seems up to what they’re looking for pace-wise in the tests he’s doing, they’ll look to slot him into Alpha Tauri next year with a view to having him firmly on deck if they wind up needing to make a change with Perez. Checo has definitely been underwhelming this year, but I think it’s only if he’s still underperforming next year that he faces the prospect of anything drastic. And on a similar line, De Vries seems like he’ll probably see out this year, but if things don’t improve for him then he’s who I’d expect to be moved aside for 2024 should they want to give Daniel a race seat.

You know, sometimes I wish your real parents were still alive. Not often, though.

I do think it’s a bit odd they used the Unsportsmanlike Conduct rule for it, but it’s also a perfectly valid way to enforce a longstanding precedent. Exploiting the Safety Car rules to impede other drivers has been pretty consistently off limits, so it feels like a bit of a storm in a teacup to kick up a fuss over the wording used for the breach. It’s not like the penalty was unusual, a 5s Time Penalty is basically the weakest possible sporting penalty outside things which are effectively warnings.

Honestly he should count himself lucky he got away with only one such penalty. I suspect he won’t though, he tends to be quite stubborn about insisting he’s not at fault even when he blatantly is.

I have been using Mammoth, since it was in TestFlight, but weirdly I feel like following the official release it has gotten progressively more buggy and unstable so I’ve been resorting to the Mastodon App more and more lately. But I can’t find a way to post GIFs in that, so I’m currently sort of jumping around between Mastodon’s App, Mammoth and Metatext for posting GIFs.

Yeah, my friend and I had the same reaction. We loved it for the most part, but the ending was fairly disappointing because we hadn’t heard about it being a 2-Parter (I have found out since it was talked about early on, but we other didn’t encounter that info or simply forgot as they de-emphasised it in marketing later) and even if we’d known that was coming, it doesn’t really feel like a complete story with a cliffhanger. It just feels like they didn’t resolve much and you have to come back. Even Infinity War at least felt like there was a complete story within itself, it just left the state of the universe dangling for the sequel.

The lettering doesn’t scale very well. I assume it worked better for Mastodon World being “MW.” With this being “LW” the same stylisation looks fairly awkward, especially when scaled down.

You took four minutes of my life and I wan them back!

I didn’t hate it the way everyone else did, but I don’t think it’s particularly good or anything and the bugs were pretty bad at times. I agree that it can be fairly lifeless and dull, but I did find some fun in the combat for a little while. Not something I felt the need to stick with. Total B-Game. Which in general is fine, but they hyped it up as a tent pole release and it just isn’t one.
