No one posted the RAS for Downs? I am disappoint.

Dan Patrick dubbed it "Over-reaction Monday" after week 1 of the NFL.
quote:Nothing like making definitive statements after three practices and one quali on a track that is notorious for making battery charging difficult.
That will not change no matter what the development trajectory looks like.
This is akin to saying a football team is toast because they played on a sloppy field, made some turnovers, and lost the game, therefore they will not win a game all year.
People need to calm down and let it play out.

When I watched FP1 yesterday on Apple TV I had access to all the onboards, telemetry and map feeds, plus the Sky feed. That disappeared with FP2. Am I missing something?
ETA: NVM, the alternate feeds are available only during the live broadcast. Don’t know why there’d be a difference.

Member when posters ridiculed me for saying lawyers would be in danger of replacement?
P.S. I guarantee you'll never be able to sue a bot for malpractice. The lawyers who write the AI terms of use will run the meter dreaming up new ways to disclaim liability for outputs. There will always be the need for a human to sign, represent, verify legal conclusions, and argue/negotiate.

First the attorneys are going to prolong the divorce to take as much money as possible. Then your wife is going take a much as possible of the current assets and you're future earnings.
Sometimes, it's both spouses. It's money they have and peace they want. But instead of watching ghosts play baseball in an Iowa cornfield, they believe they will find peace through destroying the person they married.
I am thankful not to have experienced this, but many friends have. A friend this morning said his ex (they're divorced but custody is pending) made three baseless DCFS claims against him. (The hearing officer for the last one shut her down and assessed her with costs because of her frivolous claims.)
The only way to peace is forgiveness.

I’m just here to say thank God that the Sky feed is on AppleTV, because I would rather watch F1 on mute than hear Lawrence Barretto. Good grief…

Not here to hate on Paul Mainieri but to express shock again that a once-proud baseball program like South Carolina chose (or for some reason had no choice but) to hire him. It's not hindsight to say that hiring him was an uninspired choice (most charitable) or completely reckless given the quality of SEC head coaches. He seems like he's from another era.

Sure, I can predict that given an equal opportunity to represent both counties on a world stage, I would choose the country where I was raised and grew up. And the country that allowed me to develop my talents.

Mondo doesn't do it for the check. He just is scared to compete for his spot every four years in a trial. #coward
Last year, his best result topped the best American result by more than half a meter.

Sorry, some of us are proud of what this country has given us. No amount of money would let me represent another nation.
Let me know when you turn down the opportunity to be the best in the world at your job and make tons of money wearing the flag of your parent’s home country because you have dual citizenship and America doesn’t give a shite about your talent except for one week every four years.

No, but they should be banned from training in the US.
So much butthurt over these athletes, whose choices and careers could not have less impact on the lives of everyday people with a modicum of emotional maturity.

Mondo is also a trater and should be rememberd as such! Could have been the greatest LOUISIANAMAL who ever was. Instead he chose the commie route and spit on his country! Sad
Oh, and his mom is Swedish so he has dual citizenship.
Oh, and Sweden isn’t a communist nation.
Oh, and did you mean “traitor”? I do not think that word means what you think it means.

Gold. By a lot.
She was absolutely dominant after the skier in front of her (second fastest first run) MISSED THE FIRST GATE and the skier in front of her (third fastest) broke a pole halfway down. Shiffrin blocked that all out and destroyed the field.
