It's Stan, I heard he puts football above F1 title deciding season finale

Arthritis or some other rheumatic disorder, potentially? Seeing an orthopedic specialist or a rheumatologist could be an option.

Nope, Porsche...

Audi intends to confirm its plans to enter F1 early next year. https://www.racefans.net/2021/12/20/audi-tells-fia-it-intends-to-confirm-f1-entry-early-next-year/

Looks bloody fantastic.

That's what I think every time I see it, too A friggin Star Destroyer

Doesn't matter - once you've done it once, you're damaged forever...

You just listened too much of Russian Doomer music

Not really into pixel art, but can confirm this looks like an authentic every Soviet child's memory

You mean linguistically-challenged British peasants...

Is that supposed to look like "We're sucking dick?"

Explain

Think it deserves a separate topic... James Webb Space Telescope will be the largest and most powerful space science telescope ever constructed. Remember the Hubble Space Telescope? Well, JWST is designed to observe a part of space and time never seen before, the epoch when the very first stars and galaxies formed over 13.5 billion years ago. In order to do this, Webb will have a much larger primary mirror (6.5m diameter) than Hubble, giving it more light-gathering power. It also will have infrared instruments with longer wavelength coverage and greatly improved sensitivity than Hubble. Finally, Webb will operate much farther from Earth, maintaining its extremely cold operating temperature, stable pointing and higher observing efficiency than with the Earth-orbiting Hubble. The Webb mission, an international partnership of NASA, ESA (European Space Agency) and the Canadian Space Agency, will explore every phase of cosmic history – from within the solar system to the most distant observable galaxies in the early universe, and everything in between. JWST will also be a powerful tool for studying the nearby universe. Scientists will use it to study planets and other bodies in our solar system to determine their origin and evolution and compare them with exoplanets, planets that orbit other stars. It will also observe exoplanets located in their stars’ habitable zones, the regions where a planet could harbor liquid water on its surface, and can determine if and where signatures of habitability may be present. Using a technique called transmission spectroscopy, the observatory will examine starlight filtered through planetary atmospheres to learn about their chemical compositions. JWST is targeted to launch at 12:20 p.m. GMT Friday, Dec. 24, on an Arianespace Ariane 5 rocket from Europe’s Spaceport in Kourou, French Guiana, on the northeastern coast of South America. Weather-related delays are possible, a new update should be released on December 21st.

As expected.

This is going to be either fun and silly, or completely annoying and stupid

The cameo livery makes it hard to see any details (that's the intention, I know), but I love what I've seen so far. Hopefully, they'll take part with the new LMDh car in a few races in 2022 season already before committing fully in 2023; can't wait to see it in action! Dane Cameron and Felipe Nasr have been added as Porsche work drivers, will join Kevin Estre and Michael Christensen (replacing Neel Jani), and their return to WEC in hybrid category will be managed by Urs Kuratle, a former Sauber chief race mechanic in F1 for over 20 years!

Completely different situation. Apparently, Rayo Vallecano simply do not provide medical staff for its women team, so they have to use their opposition's.

Massive thunderstorm here tonight. Heavy rain, wind gusts of 80kmh, lightning and thunder. Electrifying atmosphere. Perfect weather for having a beer and reading a book in bed

Starting this tonight. Has been recommended to me as one the most innovative and smartest sci-fi novels in recent times.

This is incredible.

Just wait till we get promoted again

That sounds awful I don't think I could cope with having at least two migraine attacks every month. Did you seek medical help for it, at least to find out what triggers it?

Visually, it looks incredible. Hopefully the story will be good, too.

Succeeds Jean Todt after the latter's 12 years in charge. First non-European to hold the role, got voted in with over 61% of votes. A former multiple regional rally champion as a driver (14 championships), the President of the UAE motorsport federation, and FIA Vice President for Sport in World Motor Sport Council since 2008. In his campaign, Ben Sulayem focused on greater financial transparency and accountability of the organisation, growth of motorsports worldwide, with particular attention given to affordable racing at local and junior levels.

It's going to be a long and bloody civil war...
