There are tobacco sponsors? I thought that stopped decades ago?

Struggling to interpret what this means. While I’d love it to be true, I assume Aston Martin isn’t going to have nine times the performance of previous races.

"Jinos 3D Filament” is pretty cheap. I started using them during the pandemic when it was hard to find PETG. Seem to be a small place in North Carolina that manufactures mostly for their own use? Sometimes they take a couple of days to ship.

They sell mostly on eBay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/382556327412

[Edit: Just re-read that you’re looking for ABS/ASA - I don’t think Jinos does those, unfortunately]

to this day it’s still exiled on the Xbox 360, not a prime destination for the genre

It’s still ‘exiled’ on not-a-prime-destination-for-the-genre, but it does also run on modern Xbox systems thanks to backward compatibility - with vastly reduced load times and a solid 30fps frame rate.

What temperature are you using?

I think the success of features based on calculated track position - like DRS and the Virtual Safety Car - proves that the time has come for Mario Kart style power-up cubes. Project them onto AR displays in the drivers’ helmets, and show them on the TV feeds.

  • Mushroom allows the driver to cut corners and speed over track limits.
  • Squid ink appears in the field of view of all other drivers’ visors.
  • Verstappen gets blue-shelled and all his power cuts out until he’s stationary!
  • etc.

Call me crazy, but I think in 10 years time you’ll be looking back on this post as prescient.

Yeah - as a Californian I considered driving to see it - day long road trip out there, stay for the Grand Prix, day trip home.

I stopped considering when I saw the prices.

I’m seeing this too. Looks like we’re both on the same server.

How did Aston do so well again?!

I want to know how a utility made $17B in profit.

That’s about $425 per resident of California, FWIW.

Net income, after expenses are completely deducted, was substantially less - $406,000. About $10 per resident of California.

If you really do want to know what the money comes from and is spent on, I’m pretty sure it’ll be in the financial reports in much more detail.

Anyone got any recommendations from the books on the list?
