  1. Yes, absolutely! I actually love what they did with Dr. Smith - I think the actress is also doing a brilliant job because I honestly want to punch her in the face 90% of her screen time This is very different from the original, but I still like it.
  2. Aye aye, Captain! I'm on it!
  3. I'm done with work, will watch it now hehe.
  4. Yeah, so in the end, they DID misjudge the situation - as they didn't expect the Red Bulls to be so fast on fresh softs, they didn't expect overtakes, and they didn't expect tyre differences to be significant in general, either. So it's either a bad decision, or they are really into risk aversion this season, which I find hard to believe.
  5. Yeah, I've read that they opened the upper side of the engine cover for a chimney-like cooling, but only used it in free training and as you said, had no extra cooling modifications during the race. It's fascinating to see all the engineering decisions and the differences in how teams solve certain issues, very interesting.

    I kind of miss spring/early summer, it used to feel so good.

  8. I watched it on TV in early 90s Along with I Dream of Jeannie, Bewitched, M*A*S*H, Get Smart, Gilligan's Island and maaaaany others
  9. Phew, had me worried for a second there Have an urgent project to finish before Friday, but will probably binge-watch the rest of the episodes afterwards!
  10. Only watched the pilot, haven't had time for more hehe. Why? Does it become unwatchable?
  11. he doesn't even post anything, just a pic or two every few months haha. I don't know, that's what I asked him, he was unable to answer my question... that's why I'm wondering, I thought maybe that's a generational thing already (he's in his mid-20s) , as it seems he meets quite a few people in the hostels he sleeps at who are doing the same, so there must be some point, and I'm just trying to understand it
  12. Short holiday I can understand; many people have just limited time off each year, and sometimes they just want to spend it simply relaxing by the pool or beach, and only choose certain countries because of the weather, etc. It's all fine and I get it. But the dude has literally been traveling for over 6 months now, that's what baffles me.
  13. Bikepacking is not really my thing, but yeah, looks quite interesting... The people he talked to looked quite awkward and not particularly willing to engage though This reminded me of something though... I met a friend of a friend for a few beers today, as he's been traveling in SE Asia for a few months now and made it to my town today. Which in itself is of course cool, as traveling is great and all that, and there are of course many different individual ways of doing that. However, we got into a discussion as he mentioned he's not particularly interested in either sightseeing/nature or in bars/nightlife, not really keen on meeting the locals either, so it got me thinking - wtf is the purpose of that? You basically spend your time in hostels that are all the same, together with other European (or "Western" in general sense) people similar to you, you have to save money as your trip is long term so you need to budget your savings, and so you're not really indulging into food, drinks, or local culture at all. I feel like I'm missing the point somewhere here.

    Yeah, and he also has great "friends" who can't stop laughing while he is obviously struggling to see and breathe. I mean, play stupid games, win stupid prizes, but you'd expect them to be concerned for him at some point?...

    get your mind out of the gutter, Stan
  17. Yeah, and quite a few moments in his career where he was too aggressive that didn't end well, too Senna and Schumi were ruthless, and way too much at times. Hamilton was accused of being too aggressive when overtaking in the past. Vettel lost his cool numerous times. Same with Alonso. The difference is learning to keep it under control and take calculated risks, a lot of which does come with maturity.
  18. Maybe, maybe not. The number of races under one's belt is of course important and he's not a rookie anymore, but it's not a guarantee for maturity either, especially with all the media hype around him... If he realises that he only puts himself at a disadvantage with his actions, he's still young enough to turn it around. Whether or not Max manages to develop into a more level-headed driver is anyone's guess at this point; knowing his father, it's also easy to understand why people are having doubts haha, but I'm still not writing him off.
  19. Drop me a message if you need a link to a stream later, hehe. Otherwise, it's on Netflix.
  20. Yes, It's that old, a bit cheesy, 60s "family-friendly" feeling about it Love it. Definitely not for everyone, but I think it's a good Sunday afternoon family entertainment.
  21. Verstappen is still a young kid, just 20 years old, also missed on a few seasons in GP2 and GP3 since he got promoted so early, and in addition, he does not have the best genetic predispositions when it comes to temperament and anger management I personally love aggressive driving style, he just needs to learn to keep his cool and be more patient. If he manages that, he'll be a heck of a driver in a few years. Taking responsibility for his action after the race today is a good sign, hope he learns from this, would love to see someone as ruthless as him but with much better decision making on track.
