If you put Max in the same car, he’d absolutely smoke Lewis. Like, total demolition. I don't care what anyone says—if you can't see that after today's race, you're just not paying attention. As for George, it's a little early to tell, but honestly? He'd probably pull off the same results. But Leclerc? Nah, man. He’s way too busy making reckless moves and playing bumper cars with everyone else on the track for the last two seasons.

Look, if we actually talk about this, it’s just gonna make things way more awkward for everyone, so let’s all just collectively pretend it didn't happen. Like, can we please just ignore the fact that they pulled Sebastian Vettel into the pits with basically 15 minutes left in Free Practice 3, only to swap in that second engine—you know, the absolute dud they've been lugging around all season—just an hour before qualifying starts?

Kenneth Cruz67 said:I suspect this is all just setting the stage, really. No matter how things actually shake out on the track, I imagine someone will inevitably try to spin the result to support whatever narrative they’ve already decided on.

I suppose if George Russell performs well, everyone will claim it's all thanks to the car. But if he struggles, then it'll be blamed entirely on him. In either scenario, it seems like Lewis Hamilton is just being viewed as a mediocre talent who happened to catch a lucky break with 😁

Man, you’re just not paying enough attention! Seriously. If Russell puts up a decent showing, everyone's gonna say, "Oh, the car is finally good." But if he struggles? Well, then it’s back to blaming the car again, because let's be real—Toto & Co are basically sabotaging him. It’s exactly what they do to Valtteri Bottas. They handicap George just enough so he can't actually show his true potential in a fair fight, which just makes Lewis Hamilton look like some kind of alien god by comparison. I mean, come on. We've talked about this a thousand times on here already: any absolute amateur could drive this Mercedes-Benz and look like a world champion. The reason they aren't all winning titles is because Toto Wolff is either nerfing the car or James is telling them to go grab a drink instead of focusing. It's a total setup.

Look, most of you guys seriously need to sit down and have a heart-to-heart with yourselves first. You gotta decide if Valtteri Bottas is actually a total dud of a driver, or if he’s actually got massive potential that just keeps getting crushed because he's being bullied by the team—you know, all that "Valtteri... get your act together..." nonsense, haha. I mean, honestly, half of you can't even make up your minds! One minute you're posting one thing, then the very next post you're saying the exact opposite. Pick a side already! 🙄

Third practice is wrapped up.
1-Verstappen
2-Bottas
3
4
5-Russell🤔

Not only that, but they act like they're huge F1 experts. When you disagree, they just try to label you as superficial.😂😂 🥱

Look, I’m just saying—Toto Wolff finally stepped in and put a stop to the absolute demolition of Lewis Hamilton's legacy. Seriously. Honestly? Seeing him pull off two P1 finishes in Free Practice is worth way more to me than all those titles and wins Lewis racked up for Mercedes-Benz. It's about the respect, man. Just feels right.

George, check out this interview right after Free Practice 2: https://streamable.com/tjdrkl

BREAKING NEWS: Reddit just dropped a massive bombshell—turns out Formula 1 is actually a constructors' championship, meaning the fastest car wins regardless of who’s behind the wheel.

More details coming your way soon...

Stoffel is the reserve driver, so why wouldn't he be in? There’s zero reason to leave him out.

Esteban Gutierrez

The problem is, he hasn't got enough points for his Super License.

wiredfalcon2 said:If Hulk actually grabbed a podium at this stage of his career, it’d be just like Goran Ivanišević pulling off that miracle run at Wimbledon in 2001.

Man, Hulk would probably lap everyone (except Max) and then his engine would just blow up on the final lap, just like what happened to Perez. Boom—no podium for him.

Google Drive or maybe Telegram if you're already using that thing.

Yeah, they're just trying to stop the virus from spreading ☕

It’s such a joke, honestly, lol 😬 They basically shut it down because the servers and the database are totally overwhelmed—nothing we haven't seen before, really. It always seems to happen when things heat up; like, almost every summer the search function just dies on us. I guess it's just too much of a headache to invest in new servers or even just some decent cooling for the current setup.

I mean, look, this whole thread is literally complaining about how broken the search is and it feels like a totally fresh issue.

Actually, what swiftowl7 is suggesting could be done pretty easily. You could just integrate a custom Google Search into the existing engine, kind of like how CNET does it. They're a much bigger, more complex site than this little corner of the internet, but you get the idea:

I can't even search through my own post history or look up other users on Reddit, which makes it pretty tough to keep track of everything happening here. 🙄 😛

Is this happening because they're trying to lighten the load on the database queries or just making things run smoother for vBulletin, or is there something else going on?

ps: Honestly, it would be super easy to just code that as an external link...☕

Closed down because of COVID-19.

So, here’s the move: track down a shop that actually carries the specific keyboard you're eyeing, then head on over there in person and just ask them if you can give it a quick test drive before you drop any cash.

Joshua Miller7, wait, are we talking about Chrome the browser or a whole Chromebook laptop? I've actually never laid eyes on one of those laptops in person, so I'm not totally sure, but if you're just messing around in the browser, try doing it like this:



Basically, you just click your name up in the top right corner, then hit Manage People. From there, click that little profile icon in the top right, tap those three little vertical dots, and then go with Remove this person and boom—you're done.

Honestly, in America, everything feels like it's marked up way higher than anywhere else (I think maybe there's a tiny 1% exception somewhere, but whatever), so I don't see any reason why software would be any different. It just isn't possible.

Oh, and you should definitely check out https://nomacs.org/ too. Honestly? In my humble opinion, it’s way more powerful and just feels higher quality overall.

or maybe

I mean, I have no clue if they’ll actually be any good for what you need, mostly because—let's be real—you probably don't know your way around them yet. And honestly, if you *did* know how to use them, you wouldn't even be asking this here, right? So... yeah...

Adobe Premiere Pro (you gotta pay for this one)

Cinegram (it's free since it's open source, which is awesome).
I mean, maybe AMC Theatres too? But honestly, I've never actually messed around with it, so I haven't got a clue 🤔

Sweet, thanks a ton! 🙂

Hey guys, any idea what I should ask for this on Craigslist? It’s not mine—I’ve been a laptop guy for years, so honestly, I’m pretty much clueless when it comes to desktops.





The old power supply actually fried during a lightning storm, so we picked up a new Antec one:


And just some standard Microsoft case that works totally fine:


Everything was bought back on February 10th, 2015. We've still got the warranties too: 36 months for the CPU, 60 months for the RAM, 24 months for the Antec PSU, and 36 months for the motherboard. Not sure about the SSD 🤷
Anyway, the whole thing is basically still under warranty.

Just a heads up, those two extra hard drives and the monitor aren't part of the deal.

Thx!

Man, this poll is missing some key options! We definitely need stuff like "I haven't gotten there yet, but I'm grinding hard to make it happen" and "I've put in all this work and still have nothing to show for it."

Why not just toss in an extra 1 GB of RAM? That’d make Windows 7 Home Premium run smooth as butter. Problem is, you gotta swap out that old 2 GB stick since there's only one slot available...

Oh, and Windows XP—yeah, if those Linux distros aren't really your vibe. Are people skipping them just because they hate the look of it (or just plain old habit), or is there actually some specific software out there that absolutely demands Windows?

Browser? I'd go with Midori ( http://midori-browser.org/ ). It's pretty much the only one that packs full features while staying light enough to breathe. Most "lightweight" browsers just feel broken, but this one actually works without sacrificing everything.
