If you only look at the winner after the fact, maybe.

No, thank you.

I did try those exact tortellinis and I can tell when they've been frozen vs straight from the pack. It's all in the texture not the taste. They get mushy as soon as they get hot enough even though I tend to undercook pasta because I like them very al dente. Totally edible but far, far worse than cooking fresh ones especially considering it's almost the same time and effort. But don't get me wrong I'm not arguing it's stupid and that nobody should do it. I know not everyone has the opportunity to just go across the street to get fresh ingredients on a daily basis and freezing is a fantastic mean of conservation. It's just a personal preference.

Meh to each their own. I feel like these shot would look just as fast if it were following an f3 car at 160kph. It's the like how movies create the illusion of going fast even though they were going 30kph while filming. The car is (almost)static, centered and in focus in the screen so I don't particularly think it shows the true speed of the cars. It's a basic shot composition technique, the subject quickly going from one end of the screen to the other is a powerful dynamic effect. The blurriness of the surroundings do all the heavy lifting here so you don't get as much visual information to distinguish between going 150 or 350kph. You can see this in the video when are on a dry vs wet track, it's really hard to tell how much slower or faster they are going it all looks the same. I think a static cam is closer to what you would see IRL. By the way I'm not against those shots, they are far better and clearer than quick panning shots like what is mostly used anyway.

A bit early isn't it? I'm not doubting he'll be good but there hasn't been any racing in '24 yet.

Drone shots are cool but they kinda kill the sense of speed of the cars. One of the best shots I've seen in recent years was a static camera with a wide angle shot of the cars going through maggots and becketts. The speed which they carried and the neck breaking changes of direction was an incredible sight. Similar was the ground camera looking up at eau rouge/raidillion. If you match the speed it's hard to truly appreciate how fast these cars really are in comparison with other series.

I'm honestly not. I've heard the captain obvious part sporadically, but never seen "have a rock".

Never heard this expression in my life

Yeah and I'm again asking to explain it because to me it sounded like you asked me to take my meds.

Mine is currently working fine and without a hitch and has been for a while now since the failed attempts at punishing adblockers. I can't vouch for everyone, but you may be right about your account being flagged for some reason.

What does '"take your rock" suppose to mean then?
