I haven't had a chance to watch the race yet and had even unsubscribed from every F1 feed I follow so as not to spoil it... only to see the results in a music thread the moment I opened Lemmy. Well, at least I'm happy for Carlos

You take a break from roasting marshmallows over a camp fire to go solve the deepest mysteries of the universe.

In terms of race wins, yeah it would be nice to see some variety. But if you ignore what's going on with Max, it's still exciting to watch the rest of the field changing round race after race. AM, Merc, Ferrari and now McLaren keeping us guessing who else is going to be on the podium, and Checo being a bit of a wildcard keeps the races interesting at least.

Right? Like why even reveal that publicly. I didn't care for De Vries but I can't help feeling bad for him a bit.

Well deserved too - getting the jump on Max at the start of the race and fending off Lewis on a slower tire at the end can't have been easy even with the car's improved pace.

I'm not on "Lenny" terms yet, I still refer to him as "Leonard".

As for Lemmy, it's almost completely replaced Reddit for me. Except for the times I search for something and the best result is a Reddit thread from 3 years ago

Toto coming on the radio saying "We know the car is bad, just drive it" was hilarious. Hamilton was so salty about the early penalty. Meanwhile Verstappen, Leclerc, and Nando got along just fine keeping the cars on track.

Boost is currently up, but they announced they'd be shutting down by tomorrow anyways. At least Lemmy / Kbin seem to be decent replacements so far. Here's hoping they continue to fill with lots of new interesting discussions and then I'll be done with Reddit for good.

Right? The corporate double-speak just makes Huffman look like a moron.

True, but I think the argument is that if we're not including natural carbon sources, we shouldn't be including natural carbon sinks either. If we're counting old growth forests left alone as part of a carbon credit, they it follows that we should include forest fires as a carbon debit. That or leave both off the table and just look at artificial sources and sinks for net emissions.

I kinda feel the same. I've read mountains of madness before, and can remember some of the imagery of the horror he describes, but for the life of me I can't remember the plot or characters. Lovecraft has interesting lore and vivid imagery of his eldritch horrors, but I haven't been able to connect with any of the actual stories.
