One thing I’m missing here is the average mileage on those cars. My impression is that people who buy an Audi A7, for example, might drive far more than average in a given year.

My dog: “I’ll have the vintage mud puddle, please.”

As someone who’s never heard of the place: Ottawa county honestly sounds like a shit place to live.

Max seemed happier than he did after most of his own wins.

Thanks for looking that up. I’m no dietician or medical expert myself, so I have to go by the more easily digestible media. That does run the risk of being more sensationalised.

One thing I did take away from the Netflix series was that both the omnivore diet and vegan one were designed to be well-balanced. Everything in moderation works well, I suppose.

Try watching the documentary “You are what you eat” on Netflix, it’s a good intro that covers the health risks of other animal products as well.

Yeah, machine learning is going to be great for the protein revolution. For Qorn they had to run thousands of experiments to find something that tasted good. Imagine if you can model millions of experiments and already weed out 98% of proteins…

The dairy and meat lobbies are something else. It’s like smoking in the fifties.

It’s well established that there are serious health concerns when you consume animal produce (not to mention environmental and animal welfare ones), yet the industry keeps pushing back on plant-based alternatives.

Then you and many you knew should’ve been brought up with better manners.

How does it compare with Kagi?

Do you have any skills you can use?

You can also sign up for medical trials.

I’m not saying there’s no incentive to perform well, I’m saying that’s it’s not too big an issue to come in last. At least financially speaking.

A quick search shows Haas made $60 million in prize money last year, while Sauber (AR) made $69 million. How much more does a team need to invest to climb up a place? If it’s more than $9 million, it’s not necessarily worth it for the lower teams.

So for the shareholders it becomes a question of whether investing is worth it. If the team is already making a profit under the cost cap, and the value of the team increases because supply is limited and the likes of Audi and Ford want to enter — is it really worth investing more?

But all of that is beside the point, because for the shareholders there’s one thing they surely don’t want: an extra competitor. All of a sudden you could come in 11th, decreasing the prize money you get for just showing up. And when you decide to sell the team, it’s worth less because the supply has increased.

We’ve wound up in a situation where the teams can decide against whom they want to compete. And commercial interests directly clash with fair, open competition. The email to spam is a bullshit story — if the FOM had wanted to make it work, they could’ve picked up the phone. It’s not like megadeals like this depend on one specific calendar invite.

The real reason is that with just ten teams, every team has a lot of inherent market value. A team like Haas can make a lot of money just by being on the grid — from a financial perspective it’s no issue that they l come in last.

But with extra teams, the prize money has to be split among more participants, the supply of ad space increases, and the value of already having a slot drops. Sauber was worth a lot to Audi because they were allowed to compete — if new teams can show up, the existing teams aren’t worth as much, which is bad for shareholders.

It’s all about money and it’s awful for the sport. It’s no wonder that the FIA already granted approval and it’s the FOM who are objecting.

A lot of people seem to agree with you, so I’ll reassess my stance on the shampoo.

As a person with a short cut, every run of the mill shampoo has done its job. But of course your hair needs to last longer when you grow it out; so adverse effects have more time to pile up.

Soap of any kind. It’s fine if you want a certain smell, but at the end of the day it all works the same. Goes for hand soap, shampoo, detergent, body wash, etc.

Fashion clothes

Better yet: buy long-lasting stuff that is ethically produced. Primark is notoriously bad in this regard — but most fast fashion stores are.

Well obviously not… Because the nose wheel fell off.

I’d say this is a great step forward. However much I’d like it, there’s no way people will just stop eating meat overnight. Anything that ends up hurting fewer animals for human consumption is a welcome change — whether it is lab-grown meat or enriched vegetable proteins.
