No. The article says the number wounded is likely in the hundreds. The headline is exaggerating a tragic event.

I was unaware of that RB family incident, it's definitely a shady and unfortunate situation. Although, as you pointed out it's not the same circumstances in this case. It's certainly reasonable to question RBs reaction though.

I just don't understand why people are so adamantly attached to their judgment of guilt. Essentially no info about this entire situation has been shared to form an informed opinion around.

I don't really get people still being convinced he's guilty and saying this is being brushed under the rug. Has it even been confirmed what he was accused of?

People read some unconfirmed gossip articles and think they know the guy and all the facts of the situation. Is there any evidence the independent investigation was a sham?

Here's a really good podcast episode from 99% Invisible about this exact topic.

Too bad many states will just refuse the money.

There is more to diversity than language... Race, religion, socio-economic status, and political beliefs are just a few other dimensions.

If you broaden your definition for diversity beyond language, the US isn't as homogenous as you're implying.

Pack it up folks. The seasons already over. Max is going to obviously win again.

Aside from the electricity, that sounds a lot like traditional currency.

You're right, SATA isn't going anywhere for a very long time. If you have a need for 4+ TB of total storage there is nothing at all wrong using HDDs or 2.5" SSDs.

Wasn't Mercedes consistently saying their performance issues weren't due to the sidepods? The primary issue was the floor and having to run a higher ride height.

Assuming that was true, then it makes sense RB would want to go after the benefits of the zero pods if they can maintain floor and suspension performance.

I'm assuming you're genuinely asking and don't understand why... Living out of a car is a sign of being poor, and businesses, police, etc. don't want poor people loitering around. That doesn't apply to truck drivers because it's a profession and they will reliably leave where they're sleeping after several hours.

I'm not saying it's right, that's just reason for the difference in treatment.

Do they really though? I know they say they do, but I don't think the mean it.

At the end of the day, manufacturers participate in F1 because of marketing. Not because of the opportunity to develop technology. Since F1 is a marketing exercise for them, they care more about the image their teams portray. Just like how F1 wants cars to project a particular image.

They want their brand associated with people seeing the car and saying "wow, now that's a racecar." ICE in F1 won't be going away until the general public divorces ICE from the image of high performance racecars. It has nothing to do with speed or technology development.

F1 doesn't genuinely care about being road relevant. They haven't for many years (if ever).

If they did care, they would have allowed active aero, less restrictive powertrain constraints, and many other innovations.

They care more about preserving the "image" of F1. And because of that, ICE will not be going away for a very, very, long time.

It's definitely not a zero pod concept. At least not in the style of Mercedes. This is just a dark picture at a poor angle.

The sidepod inlet is definitely uniquely shaped and there is a very aggressive undercut, but there is also an obvious sidepod.

Biden: ‘If you have a problem figuring out whether you’re for me or Trump, then you ain’t black’

I don't think so. I mean, theoretically I see how that might apply to a small number of remote workers, but the vast majority of minimum wage workers (and many hourly workers) are in jobs that require a physical presence at the workplace.

That seems like a much more sensible (and realistic) approach to me.

I'm on board with people across the board making more money, but $50/hr everywhere in the US seems unrealistic.

Where I live (Midwest) that would put you in a very high percentile income bracket. But in much higher cost of living areas it's probably still barely enough to get by.

I feel like minimum wage should be adjusted by cost of living.

I agree. The sidepod inlet is very unique looking with the fillet feature on the bottom, similar to what I remember on the zero-pod car. The subtle water slide on the top of the sidepod kinda looks like last year's Alpine.

The lack of stays on the floor is another obvious change for them from last year. And I don't remember the big scoop on the tip of the front wing either.

Alas, Babylon. Earth Abides. On The Beach. The Road. One Second After (this one is meh).

If you want some other good collapse survival books similar to Lucifer's Hammer.
