To each their own. I actually like that a lot from Max. The sheer dedication and intensity and him never holding his punches is inspiring honestly. This guy is the embodiment of "if you ain't first, you're last" and it's honestly a sight to behold. There's plenty of (often fabricated or artififial) drama in F1 right now and I for one hate it. It takes so much attention out of the actual racing. It's also a bit ironic that Kimi was hailed as a hero with how he treated media and drama while Max gets so much criticism for the same thing. We are witnessing one of the greatest that ever did it, and he's still destroying everyone, just try to enjoy that instead of the fake AF media personalities most other drivers put on all the time. He's as real as it gets.

If my copium is not having a memeish early conclusion after 1 race.

Go watch DTS then.

Bahrain last year was mostly better because we had Alonso magic. And the race wasn't great I wasn't saying that either. But I'm fucking tired of comment after comment after comment after comment after comment after comment after comment after comment after comment after posts of super high effort and creativity about how "seasons over" since the first day of testing. Everybody was expecting Max on top he's just dominant. But the midfield seem very tight, most teams seem to have stepped it up. All of the good stuff from last season happened in f1.5 anyway and this year looks like it's going to be even closer and involve more drivers.

If you only look at the winner after the fact, maybe.

I did try those exact tortellinis and I can tell when they've been frozen vs straight from the pack. It's all in the texture not the taste. They get mushy as soon as they get hot enough even though I tend to undercook pasta because I like them very al dente. Totally edible but far, far worse than cooking fresh ones especially considering it's almost the same time and effort. But don't get me wrong I'm not arguing it's stupid and that nobody should do it. I know not everyone has the opportunity to just go across the street to get fresh ingredients on a daily basis and freezing is a fantastic mean of conservation. It's just a personal preference.

Meh to each their own. I feel like these shot would look just as fast if it were following an f3 car at 160kph. It's the like how movies create the illusion of going fast even though they were going 30kph while filming. The car is (almost)static, centered and in focus in the screen so I don't particularly think it shows the true speed of the cars. It's a basic shot composition technique, the subject quickly going from one end of the screen to the other is a powerful dynamic effect. The blurriness of the surroundings do all the heavy lifting here so you don't get as much visual information to distinguish between going 150 or 350kph. You can see this in the video when are on a dry vs wet track, it's really hard to tell how much slower or faster they are going it all looks the same. I think a static cam is closer to what you would see IRL. By the way I'm not against those shots, they are far better and clearer than quick panning shots like what is mostly used anyway.

A bit early isn't it? I'm not doubting he'll be good but there hasn't been any racing in '24 yet.

Drone shots are cool but they kinda kill the sense of speed of the cars. One of the best shots I've seen in recent years was a static camera with a wide angle shot of the cars going through maggots and becketts. The speed which they carried and the neck breaking changes of direction was an incredible sight. Similar was the ground camera looking up at eau rouge/raidillion. If you match the speed it's hard to truly appreciate how fast these cars really are in comparison with other series.

I'm honestly not. I've heard the captain obvious part sporadically, but never seen "have a rock".

Ya it's only been 20 years.

Never heard this expression in my life

Yeah and I'm again asking to explain it because to me it sounded like you asked me to take my meds.

Mine is currently working fine and without a hitch and has been for a while now since the failed attempts at punishing adblockers. I can't vouch for everyone, but you may be right about your account being flagged for some reason.

What does '"take your rock" suppose to mean then?

What do you mean? Because it's a valid explanation. It's near impossible to fake a perfectly clear and high res, well focused image or video without showing artifacts of image manipulation. I do agree that a lot of those are taken in by amateurs on questionable gear, but I've yet to see a compelling video that cannot be debunked. And in the case of the navy or whatever army branch supposed sightings, I think those leave us with two options since they are so secretive on the subject ; it's purposefully deceptive or it's fabricated by third parties without consent. I want to believe but nothing ever comes out of those sightings so it's very hard to be impartial.

Cause they're fake.

That's what makes it so funny. He always seem to put the spotlight on how absurd this whole thing is. It's only gotten better since the influx of clueless "celebrities".

I'd say generally any pasta or rice or veg will turn to paste if frozen. You kinda also lose any flavor apart from salty and sweet. But don't misunderstand me, it's fine and a very good way to conserve meals but you will lose most of the magic, the ice feels like it's breaking everything down.

I'm always happy to put a throroughly frozen meal for 9 minutes in the wave instead of making any sort of effort. But freezing food kinda ruins most flavours and texture.

Too much tossing and topping and eggs. That's three superfluous actions.
