On F1TV they reported it was the new PU fitted but it could be wrong. I was very surprised to hear it, usually the wait till Saturday

Rough for George, having his new engine bonk the wall already. No surprise on a monza engine swap with 8 to go after.

What a silly article.

He went faster than anyone else in FP1 and overheated the tires and then crashed. Doing speed delta comparisons isn't useful except to say that he's comfy pushing to the limit of the car.

A fine sign, and he might be excellent in the car. But this is a silly article.

I don't disagree with him, but James has been spicy recently

Man I'm in my mid 30s and really loving gaming more these days. Lots of independent shit that's had me hooked.

In the past few years I fell away from cars/motorcycles (building, racing, etc) and am loving sitting on the couch at home. It's a stark contrast and has been a lot of therapy time, but I did it for years while not enjoying it. I think my takeaway is leaning into what I want and away from what I don't

Poor George. Must be hard to stand there and watch your car and new upgrade go into the wall

My movie theater has missing cat posters that you can submit for your cat. The cat is at home, you just miss it while you're at the theatre

There are tiers of candy corn?

Also non Euclidian! Hexagons (the bestagons) also tesselate and fix that problem nicely

Heck yeah, I'll try my best!

So on a euclidian chess board, moving your king one space left would be 1 space, one space up would be 1 space, and one space diagonally would be √2 spaces (some simple trig gets us there).

Chess however, does not obey the laws of Euclidian geometry nor does its physical representation show us things to scale. A king's move diagonally is the same amount of space as a move side to side, 1 space.

It's silly, because spaces weren't directly supposed to represent distance or anything, but it's funny that it works out this way

Dude, same. The worst part of my recent should surgery was the lack of caffeine all day (bumped from noon to 4 pm surgery). That first sip of recovery room coffee was incredible

I always use Chess boards to describe non-Euclidean spaces when I "need" to (aka when I get even a narrow chance to)
