Unsalted butter is used a lot in making sauces or soups because you're adding salt to those things already and you don't want the salt in the butter to oversalt it.

Just lmao at the smoothbrains here who think Haas can afford to make anything but the strictest of financial decisions. They need a German driver with a valid super license who isn't going to bin the car and can get reliable points. That's it. They're trying to keep the team alive.

gene's approach seems to be funding the team at a minimum operating level indefinitely. if we also get a sponsor then that's cool but no biggie.

Ocon claims he put in the most hours in simulator and other team activities

Ocon claimed that he took on most of the workload including doing the hours in the simulator - something Alonso is notorious for not using - and other activities for the team.

"To be honest, I did 98% of the work and he did 2%. I was overworked," he said when asked about their partnership.

"I did all the development work in the simulator and I also did the marketing activities."

I'm not going to do the math, but if you excluded all the times Alonso's car blew up I bet he's up on points over Ocon.

Facts about Kimi Raikkonen from his book:

He thought Nico Rosberg saying he wanted to spend more time with his family when he retired was cool.
Then he got confused because Nico is still hanging around the paddock after he said that.

He once hid from the military police by crawling in a ditch because he was drunk.

He once tried to go after his bag in the airport scanner thing in Singapore to get pictures of his body and they threatened him with ankle shackles and interrogations.

If Kimi likes a bar, he wants to stay there for a long time. Fifteen hours isn’t unusual.

The moment Kimi got his driver’s license he dropped out of car mechanic school, packed his Lada and moved to Holland to do karting.

Kimi and his buddies found powder used for treating rashes onboard a rental plane. They march through the customs covered in white powder. When asked where they’re coming from, Kimi said: “Colombia”.

He says Ron Dennis is a control freak but it’s not his fault bc he was born like that.

Its impossible to reasonably disagree with any of this.

To be honest I don't have an issue with it personally, if that's your kind of thing then go for it. and lord knows the whole Disney land/world economy is big enough to prove there is a market for that.

Where it becomes dumb for me is when people play dumb on why American manufacturing doesn't command a premium anymore when that poo poo gets pulled so often. Cadillac is a joke compared to other luxury brands very specifically because it tries and pulls that poo poo so often.

I would quite like it to be the law that the place where things have been built is displayed prominently on the package / website that you're buying from. For me it's in the interest of trying to reduce the distance things have had to come, but also it's funny when a brand leans heavily on their USA credentials and the stuff is made in China.
