As for Max, I don't see any comparison between him moving from STR to Red Bull Racing and some hypothetical scenario where he jumps from Red Bull Racing straight into a Mercedes... I honestly don't see the connection.🤔
Red Bull Racing and STR are essentially the same organization. They’re structured identically, the cars are incredibly similar, and they probably even use the same procedures... At the end of the day, you've got the same kid driving one or the other; the only difference is the raw power and quality of the car. Everything regarding the actual driving—setup and all that jazz—is almost certainly identical. Ultimately, Red Bull Racing was designed as a training ground for their drivers, so it makes perfect sense that everything is set up the exact same way... it would be weird if it wasn't.
The only question is whether you actually believe this or not. If not, nice trolling. If you do, then the question is which sport you've been watching for the last few decades.
You've gotta assume Renault might actually show some life on this track, which would be just great if they want to make the fight for third place a total mess, dragging everything out until we hit Abu Dhabi. Though, let's be real, Racing Point probably earned that third spot.
Yeah, obviously. It’s just how things work. Just like it was totally normal to sideline Vettel from the car's development for 2021, and it’s perfectly normal that a driver they aren't counting on anymore doesn't get any edge in the small details. Still, that doesn't really explain why Vettel's gap was so impossibly huge. But look, Seb got absolutely wrecked twice back when he was actually the clear number one in the team, pulling in 20 or 30 times more than his teammate.
It’s honestly hard to put into words. You have these rednecks out in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by hundreds of tigers and lions, all fighting for dominance while a true crime story unfolds right in the center of it all.
If this weren't a documentary, I would have assumed the script was written by someone on some pretty heavy drugs. 🙏
Just finished two episodes and honestly... what the hell? Total mindfuck. 🤣
I honestly love how, as usual, nobody mentions that the Church—which is basically the biggest real estate mogul in America and has its hands in starting like 2,000 different companies here—should probably just give something up. Ever. Or actually carry any kind of weight for once.
I don't think you guys realize that the number of people told to self-isolate is hitting the hundreds, if not thousands. Take my friend for example—she got hit with that order just because some guy at her office tested positive for Corona. It’s not like she traveled anywhere or came from out of nowhere; the guy just mentioned where he’d been and who he’d seen, and suddenly everyone in his orbit is supposed to lock themselves down. Given that most of the police force is tied up at the US border trying to manage migrant entry and dealing with all that EU funding pressure, it's pretty naive to think the cops can actually track every single person moving around.
William Kim said:So, my whole plan is basically just to ride this out and live life normally until they finally roll out a vaccine.🙏 Man, what a ride.
So, here’s my take on it: you’re looking at a total healthcare system collapse. We're talking about unnecessary deaths piling up while everyone waits around for some magic vaccine to show up. Think about the math for a second. If someone catches a regular old flu, they’ll pass it to about 1.3 people on average. But if someone’s walking around with Corona? They can easily infect 10 people. That’s exactly why quarantine exists. If you just let 100 people with Corona roam free while the rest of us try to live like everything is normal, we're screwed. Within a month—just through a few more rounds of transmission happening "overnight"—you'd have millions of people infected. It's simple math, really.
Amanda Evans2 said:Well, nobody was exactly expecting anything else here. We are talking about the fundamental necessity of movement controls and quarantine protocols themselves. Someone above wrote that we might as well just ban driving altogether to see if that produces results too, bringing that death toll of 300 in traffic accidents down to zero...
I dig the way you brought up traffic accidents. Let's be real: accidents happen because idiots get behind the wheel drunk or drive like maniacs. It’s the exact same thing as how this virus spreads—because of idiots who can't follow basic self-isolation rules. In both scenarios, the common denominator is just plain stupidity. If we had tighter controls and harsher penalties on the road, those death tolls would tank. Imagine if your car had built-in GPS tracking that hard-coded your speed limits. You wouldn't be able to go over 31 miles mph in the city or 50 miles mph on the highway because the car literally won't let you. Fatalities would plummet. But instead of being mad at the morons, people would be out there screaming at the government for "restricting their freedom" to speed. That's your quarantine analogy right there.
So, after they finally slapped those strict quarantine measures in place—which, let's be real, they should've done over a month ago—the number of people catching the Coronavirus in Italy is actually starting to drop. So yeah, turns out quarantine actually works.
