2-0, a goal by Jojo after a nice assist by Chong!

Friendly against LASK just started, already 1-0 through Selke. Interesting formation and lineup, with Mbom as a right back... Pavlenka - Mbom, Toprak, Friedl, Agu - Erras, Klaassen, Bittencourt - Chong, Selke, Jojo

New season starts on September 11th. First 4 matchdays have been scheduled:

Canceling automatic updates is one of the first things I do when I get a new laptop/PC Nothing worse than being in the middle of something and getting the annoying "restart your computer to install important updates".

Cooked shrimp with tomatoes, lime and capers today. Turned out great, but now I just want to lay down on the beach and drink cocktails all day.

All I could think of was Penguins of Madagascar

He didn't In general, I agree that more talents moving up from F2 would be great. Some will not get a chance simply due to not being eligible for super license though. I believe Daruvala needs to finish 5th, Tsunoda 4th in order to qualify. Vips would be another good option but since Red Bull sent him to Super Formula instead of F2, there's virtually no chance for him to be considered for the Toro Rosso seat next season. At least one of Shwartzman and Mick will make it to F1 next season, I reckon. A lot depends on what happens with Haas.

If you're willing to spend more, then it might be worth taking a look at the MOZA slypod. It's basically a motorised sliding arm, but is by far more compact than the rails. Combine it with their gimbal, and you're golden.

Rossi lucky to still be alive... That was very scary. Watch his on-board of you can find it, absolutely awful.

Yeah, but that's what I meant - if you use a horizontal arm, you can slide it back and forth over the table. Similar to this setup: Check the video in the link to see what I mean: https://www.google.com/amp/s/h5.aliexpress.com/item/33016272439.html So you can slide it back and forth, move it up and down as a swing arm, rotate it. If you get one with a ball head, it would even offer additional movement angles if you need them. Should cover it all, no? And here is one of them as an example: http://slik.com/products/sliding-arm-ii/

Not sure I understand this correctly, but woudn't a tripod with a horizontal arm extension and a 360° ballhead do the job?

Understandable, Neel Jani was awful; especially compared to how Lotterer did. Unfortunately, I just can't get into Formula E... I tried hard, especially since Porsche joined, but it just doesn't do anything for me.

Chong on the right, Bittencourt on the left. There's also rumours regarding Jozwiak, so that could also be a possible solution for the left side. Nürnberg's Hack could be an alternative option. Hope we don't play Bittencourt in the central midfield with Klaassen, that's just asking for trouble... Have very high hopes for Schmid, will need some time to adapt but his vision, creativity and intelligent passing is something I'm excited for.

Not sure why you quoted me here, but I agree

Did you post, delete and then re-post it again because you thought I'd be offended?

Thailand unlikely to open the borders this year. Expected, but still sucks

Seems like they plan to push it forward! The ban could be implemented for Spa already looks like FIA are also annoyed by Mercedes outqualifying everyone by over a second each week

Very interesting (and long) podcast with Florian Kohfeldt. https://phrasenmaeher.podigee.io/55-neue-episode Second part will be published next Tuesday...

Thoughts?

Yes, exactly - the same phase as many others, just with added publicity stunt. The second point might be reasonable, but then again, the procedure is not really that different from the approach that other countries are taking. Fast tracking vaccines or drugs always poses certain risks. The Russians expect to be able to distribute the vaccine to the general public in January, that's over 4 months time to conduct Phase 3 trials, and about the same timeline that other vaccine manufacturers are following. I'm looking forward to the phase 1 & 2 trial data they are supposed to publish this month.

I believe in this particular case, the vaccine is supposed to protect at least 50% of trial participants in order to be deemed effective.

As above - phase 3 trials start today. UAE, Saudi Arabia, Philippines and likely Brazil among countries that participate in them.

That's not true though. The Phase 3 trials are starting today with thousands of volunteers in numerous countries, as usual. They simply registered the vaccine early in order to be able to fast-track its distribution to key workers.
