The precedent that that is setting, is that it is not safe to invest in Russia. If the EU does this, the precedent is that the EU is not safe to invest in.

Russia's economy is a dwarf compared to the EU or USA.

I get that a small keyboard is nice, and that a numpad is not necessary for everyone, but no numbers at all seems quite drastic, and also no Ctrl or alt just looks very unpractical to work on.

If they are dead, you don't have to pay anymore. And (like the image says) they are not experienced, so perfect for the front line where the most meat gets ground. Combined, these two facts make for a huge saving on the promised payments.

They can be absolutely massive....

I also live in the Netherlands, and because I have worked at my current job quite long already, they have a notice-period of 4 months when they want to fire me, and I have 1 month notice-period when I want to quit.

To be really honest, that is almost absurd for the employer.

And what was the problem that you solved exactly?

Imagine being a contractor, and you unfold the drawing the architect made for the new building, and you see this.

I would immediately think the quote I gave them for the job was already way too low for this shit.

Well, some like a little bit of comfort. Just sitting a cold house all day and drinking only water is not for everybody.

That equates to just 2 million USD. You're not getting any serious radar-equipment for that amount.

200 million is not a very strange figure for an advanced radar-solution.

Why?

Yes, first place is not really a question nowadays, but to be honest it almost never is. We very rarely get a season like 21.

When I started watching, F1 was a sport with 20-odd cars, and at the end Schumacher always won. After that, F1 became a sport with 20 cars, and at the end Vettel always won. After that, it became a sport where Mercedes always won. And now it is a sport where Max always wins.

F1 is a sport where a team/driver who hits the sweet spot has a massive advantage. That is by design, it is in the first place a constructors championship.

But you just cannot deny that behind Red Bull it has been a good season. First Aston Martin, then Mercedes and now McLaren that are coming forward. With the odd good performance from Ferrari in between.

Did he specify which tanks?

Are they older than 30 years? 40?

That he will win them is indeed obvious. Since there have not been fair elections in Russia for quite some time, one cannot expect these to be fair.

41

So apparently Ralph Schumacher let out that he knows for certain that Danny is replacing Nyck after the summer break. I found it in a Dutch article, so a url is not much use I think.

Obviously, this is still very much rumours at this point, but I wanted to post about it anyways.

I know Nyck is underperforming massively, and have no illusion that he will be driving next year. But replacing a driver mid-season is always a bit harsh. Especially when his home-race is the next one on the calendar...
