Perhaps an unpopular take, but more teams is absolutely not what we need right now. It’s ludicrous to think that Andretti could just waltz in and be competitive. And what exactly would another bottom-feeder team add to the enjoyment of the sport? Or even a midfield one? We have plenty of both.

What specifically do you mean when you say “Open MacOS”? Open to what? You can already install anything you want on it. It’s unix based, so your terminal works mostly the same as in Linux. You’ve even got a package manager (homebrew), so you won’t miss apt or whatever else you use. iOS is another discussion, but imho, OSX is “open” enough.

B&H in New York has some pretty good inventory, usually. I’ve bought a lot of stuff from them through the years.

KitKat is Nestle. Fuck that, never give those cunts any of your hard earned money.

If we have nothing to talk about in the off-season except clickbaity trash like this, can we please just keep quiet?

Negotiating your healthcare, like you’re buying a pair of jeans in a Turkish market. How wonderful.

Off the seven seas? Try Britbox. Relatively affordable, no ads whatsoever. They’ve got Cats does Countdown, QI, Mock the Week etc.

Britbox has all the series since the start, when Stephen Fry was presenting.

In any group, there’s always that one obnoxious bro, isn’t there?

I don’t think anyone can be against it with a proper messaging.

You’d be surprised to find just how many cruel idiots there are.

An obvious step forward, but sooooo much more to do.

WTF, why? I’m not turning off my VPN.

Very interesting. Thanks for the read!

Fair enough. I think us and everyone else on this thread can definitely agree on that last point, at the very least. 🫡

Sam Collins will definitely still call them Sauber. Now and forever 😂

Unlike Sauber’s new name 🙄

I hate how advertising has infiltrated every damn aspect of this sport (and many others).

I remember watching a hockey game in the US for the first time, and they were talking about “the Lexus intermission report”. You what?! 🤨

You fail to sell when you fail to timely implement desirable features. And you fail to prioritise properly when you disregard or misinterpret feedback.

None of this is better mitigated by subscription models.

This sounds almost identical to the script our former VP of PM parroted. Everyone in engineering was vehemently opposed. But the C suite loved it, so we switched to a subscription model. Guess what, NEMs and govt clients don’t like paying subscriptions. No one does, but these are huge, powerful business entities we’re talking about here. You can’t force their hand. We lost 3 of our 4 biggest clients within 6 months. It took a massive amount of work to reverse course.

Just admit it. Subscriptions are nothing more than a blatant money grab. We (the SW industry) have been successfully releasing software and making fucktonnes of money for decades before some bean counter decided to get too greedy and come up with this bullshit.
