I have noticed quite consistently the euro posters get weirdly nationalist and over protective but in reality all hate each other to the point when they start fighting they immediately go for the cheapest tactics available like gently caress it as high a body count as possible in the most colltaterally destructive wars imaginable. then follow up by saying wasn't them.. it was previous management or something like that. meanwhile Helmut Marko exists. just something ive noticed.

Genuine question, is all of the broadcasts outside of Europe in SD? I'm in a sports bar in Mexico and I can hardly make out the team radio captions. Have I been spoilt by sky uhd at home?

here in the us espn is "hd" (depends on how much your provider compresses it, it's 720p on youtubetv) and f1tv is 1080p and (i think) 50 fps

F1tv has always looked fine to me except sometimes it shows max or stroll.

Corvette heads will always tell you "actually this one finally fixed the handling issues" they've been pulling that poo poo since the 80s. I think they probably would be better off fixating on finding a new therapist who is better at "handling" their mental health issues instead tbqh

I think the Corvette is probably the best bang for buck on the planet but I’ll also point out until like the C6 GM was notorious for building “Ringers” that they gave to magazines. The C4’s psycho skid pad numbers and 0-60 were essentially done by specially worked over cars.

you mean the Chrysler M1 Abrams Main Battle Tank?

I remember all the NAFO dog idiots calling it invincible and then the Russians destroyed one rather easily within 24 hours of it being deployed to the front line.


It’s probably the best tank on the planet but still, hubris.

I think just given the general popularity of karting and money in it now you aren't really going to see any abjectly poo poo drivers anymore. in the 80s if you were rich as gently caress you probably bought say a formula Atlantic seat and then a formula 3 seat in the UK and then say an Osella drive in F1, maybe around something like 1985. Now if you're rich as gently caress you're putting your kid in a new kart chassis and sending him off to nationals with a blueprinted engine every year, kid is never gonna be a world beater or even an exceptional talent but he will be able to drive as competently as the next rich rube.

The US has admitted to using white phosphorus and .50 cal rounds on civilians and soft body targets. Both of those are against the Geneva convention and any other country in the world would be strung up by their toes for war crimes.

The US has Trump, the old money steel industry, the old money oil industry, global espionage, the coal industry, the southern states, a bunch of farmers so loving stupid they turned the middle of the country into a desert for almost a decade, religion for profit, education for profit, healthcare for profit, rampant latent racism, a militarized police force, 1 of 3 countries that still use imperial measurements, an auto industry with a reputation only slightly better than Cold War Eastern Europe, and multiple narcissistic billionaires that a large portion of the country thinks are the good guys.
