There's things wrong with F1 and you can argue about the price, but if you like watching the feeder series and or better summaries, I really would advise giving F1tv a shot.

One, all these weirdos complaining about being spoiled about results here need to learn self control. Had to attend a party so couldn't see the race live. It's literally so easy to simply not open the F1 comm...

About the race itself, it looked like even though McLaren say they have two equal drivers they seem to intentionally give bad strategies to Piastri when he's behind. Though logically I think it's probably just shitty strategies they actually thought were good.

Wonder Boy in Monster Land on the sega master system.

I'm frustrated I can't seem to find a place to buy it for pc easily. (Admittedly it's not like I'm trying very hard since I'm not really interested in tweaking with simulators and stuff.) There was a game with that name in a sega retro thing sold on Steam but it's definitely not the original version. I still know the start by heart.

A Sauber overtaking a Ferrari was not on my bingo card for this weekend

How Max kept that car on the road is insane. And as I'm writing this. Seems like people bumping into Max at the moments his car isn't slipping...

Piastri driving very mature after putting in the work to make it possible yesterday.

To be clear, I'm Belgian and in favour of abolishing monarchy. But as the news about her is unavoidable: she did study at the royal military academy as all in line for the throne have too. Then she went to Oxford for her Bachelor degree. Plan was to get the master at Harvard.

The justification is partly elitism for those schools, partly getting exposed to other environments, and partly getting too avoid being to isolated in Belgian schools where the attention would be inevitable and security too hard.

It's made intentionally hard though. Try buying The Expanse Blu Ray collection for example. Season 4 literally only comes region A locked, and is not playable on non modified Blu-ray players if you're in the EU. I was excited to buy it after getting a decent Blu-ray player so I could rewatch it with my partner who hasn't seen it, but something dumb like that does put a damper on things, so we haven't even bothered with it, despite downloading it.

It's really hard to say where Red Bull are as a team. Max seemed to be able to use the car as if it's either the fastest or second fastest car. But Yuki had so many other teams' car between him and Max. McLaren makes sense. But Ferrari, Mercedes, Williams and Racing Bulls?

This is again a race where Norris is reminding me of Bottas. So incredibly fast if he doesn't have to overtake.

I agree their strategy is still abysmal, but the car is still obviously better. And getting lucky with a safety car is not strategy. (And every top team and driver gets this advantage from time to time)

I don't think that this would happen this early in the season tbh. And if they wanted the race itself more interesting they'd red flag it for a restart.

Scholen krijgen nieuwe mogelijkheden om het lerarentekort aan te pakken, er komen premies voor wie een opleiding voor een knelpuntberoep volgt en ook korte celstraffen zullen daadwerkelijk worden uitgevoerd. Een overzicht van wat er allemaal verandert vanaf 1 september.

 

Interesting to see it really seems like everyone across the board used less and less energy.

What did you all change? Any specific tools or tricks?

Personally I didn't even change my heating level but just used the timers a lot more with sharper cutoffs. And I did use smart plugs between my media appliances and my pc to make sure they are off when I leave the house, as well as being less casual about turning off the lights in rooms that I'm not in. Compared to 2019 (so before more WFH) that's like a 20% savings on gas, and 15% on electricity for me.

Translated intro: Vias analyzed 100 PVs of accidents with injuries in Brussels (2020). The number of accidents involving electric scooters quadrupled, from 409 in 2020 to 1,748 in 2022. There were four fatalities among users in both 2021 and 2022.

 

It's friday already so let's start discussing something that hasn't been done here and discuss a couple of important questions. (or whatever else you want it's the chat topic after all)

  • What day is the correct day to eat fries from the frituur and why is it friday.
  • What do you order at the frituur?
  • Why are people who use frikandel weird and people who say lange hamburger clinically insane? Civilized folk use curryworst after all.
 

I know it's most likely a beginner question but it's what I am I suppose.

For extra context, I generally have about 6-10 hours to spend to game per week and I find I do enjoy the main quest but after spending a couple days only doing that it feels like I'm missing out by ignoring some of the side quests.

I only have 1 charachter so far and it's lvl35 at around the start of ACT2.

Will I lose out on powerlevel if I just try to get through the main quest first for now and look into doing sidequests afterwards? Am I making my life harder if I do sidequests first?

Right now I think I would like to be able to participate in the seasonal with a new class to try out, since it is still an expensive game and I want to feel like I experience more than just one class.

 

So who else is going. I'm too old to meet up with strangers. I used to be with it, but than they changed what it is. It'll happen to you!

What are you going to see and what gem do you recommend?
