Yes, more chilis for me.

Loads of chili. Gotta start them young.

Happy birthday, Spike!

Theoretically.

Fucking hell.

Not only Vettel...

Phil knows.

Hopefully less fake drama though

Amazon's and MotoGP answer to Drive to Survive...

Yeah, I missed that thanks to all your recent LOTR chatter

Did you re-watch the 84 recently, or are you remembering from when you watched it years ago?

I loved the score too, and thought it was perfect in expanding the "otherworldliness" of Dune. Very unconventional, eery, atmospheric. Brilliantly captured the spirit, imo.

That wasn't Arabic though? As much as I'm aware, David J. Peterson created 4 artificial languages (2 sign languages, 2 spoken ones) and they were used in the movie score, too.

If you're interested in the subject of the restoration of independence in 1990 and Soviet reaction to it, key events to read about are the Singing Revolution, the Baltic Way, the January 1991 events/Bloody Sunday, and the Massacre of Medininkai. The latter two in particular show how willing the Soviets were to allow self-determination.

You should read more if you can find a decent book in English; our history is legit better than Game of Thrones As for Napoleon, no, not really. He spent about 6 months in Lithuania right before marching to Moscow and then a few days on his way back retreating after Borodino and capture of Moscow. His presence initially stirred some hopes of restoring the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, but essentially, he only cared about resources for his Grande Armée.

Lithuania. First mention of Lithuania in 1009, unified under one Duke in the 13th century, Kingdom of Lithuania founded in 1253. Grand Duchy of Lithuania was the largest country in Europe by the 14th century, then it was transformed into the Commonwealth of Poland and Lithuania in 1569, then got partitioned three times by the Russian Empire, Prussia, and the Habsburg Monarchy in the late 18th century. Two unsuccessful uprisings in the mid 19th century, and then finally regained independece in 1918, only to lose it thanks to Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact and be occupied first by the Germans and then given to the Soviets after the WWII. Then after ongoing partisan and dissident activities for over 40 years, the first Soviet-occupied state to announce the restitution of independence in 1990.

"Allowed self-determination" Gee, I guess we should be thankful that we were "allowed" to restore our legitimate 980 year old state after 200 years of oppressive yet unsuccessful Russification policies.

They are fine, have been in the sport for quite a while, and therefore have enough experience and proven track record (including WEC class title) in both WEC and ELMS. They are also owned by Gazprom.

Sort of; ot that she would join G-Drive in particular, but that she was in talks with several LMP-2 teams. She even tested with WRT (last season's champions) in the off-season, as well with Prema. What's interesting, that Kvyat will be driving for G-Drive in WEC this season

Why the surprised smiley?

If you stay, you could be our own frontline reporter though... Imagine the traffic it would bring to the forum!

Lotterer Porsche But otherwise, fuck Formula E

You are definitely onto something. There's a relatively new meteorological theory called "biotic pump" that suggests the same. Basically, cyclonic storms can only form and keep going if there's enough atmospheric water vapour available to sustain it. By importing atmospheric moisture from the ocean, rainforests deplete the vapour available, thus preventing devastating storms. Not to mention that massive rainforests act as an actual protective physical buffer against the storms.

Just one of those days... Hope it turn outs great though

Do elaborate...
