    Austrian Grand Prix 2020, Spielberg - Race 1/?

    It has only been 6 years for Merc, and Ferrari **** the bed in two of those years.

    Austrian Grand Prix 2020, Spielberg - Race 1/?

    This is just normal Red Bull gamesmanship. It distracts Merc away from the race weekend, as they now have to waste time with the issue.

    Austrian Grand Prix 2020, Spielberg - Race 1/?

    This is the typical 'show some pace for the sponsors' desperation, harking back to Ron Dennis days. They're desperate for cash!

    Austrian Grand Prix 2020, Spielberg - Race 1/?

    What has Hamilton's residence and spending got to do with his skin colour or the colour of his car? Why do you think that he's a hypocrite?

    Apple to replace Intel and move to ARM - *** Confirmed as "Apple Silicon" ***

    lol, 'near obsolete'! You're probably in the sweet spot. You've got high end performance that'll last well until the new ARM machines are fully bedded in, creases ironed out and performance understood and quantified. I'm in the same boat with an i9 iMac. Ignore the FOMO - the ARM machines...

    2020 biking plans and ambitions

    Will do :). We've got 6 nights there, and aside from a long trip one day out to Lake Maggiore we're going to be staying fairly local.

    Some thread about the London congestion charge

    Perhaps you should have experienced the previous 18 years, then you'd have some broader understanding.

    Some thread about the London congestion charge

    Have you ever actually been to London?

    Some thread about the London congestion charge

    Exactly. We'd have hundreds, if not thousands of preventable deaths each year in London. But yes, OP was political. I guess it would, ironically, be less political when he's old enough to actually drive and to vote :)

    Some thread about the London congestion charge

    How do you think London would look and move today if it had never been introduced?

    I'm already up!

    What would you do with a free 6 months?

    6 months off paid and no pandemic? Ride a motorbike around the world (the bits I choose to, at least). Cliched, but I've love to do it. As to my lockdown experience, I've been working. People kept asking if I was enjoying the sunny weather - it looked nice through the windows of my home study...

    2020 biking plans and ambitions

    We spent the last month swearing blind that we were going to do the NC500 and, having a very narrow window, were gambling that Scotland would be opened up before our departure date of 18 July. It was, so... we've just rebooked and are going to Switzerland :) Camping on Susten Pass. Let's try and...

    Austrian Grand Prix 2020, Spielberg - Race 1/?

    Cheers @Shimmy - seems an age ago that I was watching the last days of testing in Barca. New Mercedes livery is stunning! True to the word 'gambling', given that there are back to back races in Austria and Red Bull love this circuit, I've taken a punt on Verstappen to win the WDC. The odds...

    Lovely bike. Worrying water levels.

    What did you do to your bike today?

    The weeds in your neighbour's gravel are really troubling me.

    Olympus exiting the camera business?

    Today, phones take amazing photos to be shared and viewed on other phones. DSLRs or equivalent take high quality photos that look amazing when shared and viewed online. What's changed is our consumption. Hardly anything is printed any longer. Nobody prints to share, they only print to keep and...

    Why aren’t my pics showing on iPad app?

    This is a little bit of the clunkiness of the nascent file system in iPadOS. If you open the photo in Files, and select Save, it will appear in the Camera Roll and Photos.
