Hate to say it, but Wintergatan and his Marblemachine X. In the earlier days his videos were an exciting mix of mad genius, cool music improv and crafting. Then he became obsessed with making the machine play tight, precise music to a level that is beyond what anybody in an audience would be able to hear, and it became obvious that the machine would never get finished because he was stuck in an improvement loop.
These sticks look super uncomfortable to use though
No, the child is lost
If an outlet asks a question like that, you can always answer it with No
Get rid of the Sunday race in Monaco, build the entire weekend around some sort of super qualifying
Yeah, was almost a bit too fast for our liking, didn’t really leave us time to get used to the idea. My gfs gynecologist was really surprised when she showed up pregnant, said she had expected her in a year or so :D Nice early reminder that kids don’t care for your plans.
A vasectomy is definitely something we’re considering, but just in case the baby fever should ever hit us again, my girlfriend will be over 40 by then and that’s too old for comfort (I know plenty of women even older than that have healthy, happy babies, but still), and also we simply aren’t in a position to afford a second one :D
I’ve always been a fence sitter as well, and for the longest part of my life I was kinda certain I didn’t want any kids, but in hindsight that was mainly because the women I was with had no interest either. When I met the mother of my daughter, very early on in the relationship she straight up asked me if I could see myself as a parent at some point in the future. I said yes because that’s the truth. I could just as well not see myself as a parent, but it wasn’t a clear no.
Our daughter was born in the fifth year of our relationship. We would have loved to spend another couple of years just as the two of us, but she’s several years older than me and approaching her 40s, so her biological clock was ticking. So we sat down and had a long talk about whether we actually wanted to do this. I’ve never been the most ambitious fella out there, and if there’s an easy or comfortable way of doing something I’m likely to take it. With this topic though I didn’t want to live the rest of my life thinking in the back of my head that my kid didn’t get born because it would have been outside of my comfort zone. So we went and tried and my gf got pregnant within two months. Our daughter is 7 months now and a wonderful little drooling ball of energy and we love her to death. With all the uncertainty that comes with having a child, one thing is certain though: we don’t want a second one :D
Niagara Launcher for me. Love the minimalistic approach!
Grayjay has completely replaced NewPipe for me because it automatically updates my subscriptions
Correct decision imo. Give rookies one season to settle in and one to prove themself. But he definitely needs to up the ante.
Merc vs Ferrari is gonna be spicy! Shame about Sainz
I think that’s taking it a bit too far. There’s no denying that Lewis cruised to some of his titles because the car was leagues ahead of the rest, but he still has extremely competitive races even in a car that’s drifting between second and fourth best. And I’m saying that as not the biggest Lewis fan out there.
I’m in the same boat, and sore loser is a pretty fitting description imo. They gambled with the zero sidepods car, lost big time (though it should be said that other teams on the grid would have loved to switch cars with them), doubled down on it this season and lost again. This should have been a humbling experience, but instead they act like they are being owed P1.
Seeing Aston in the first half and McLaren in the second half of the season show them how it’s done was super satisfying. And I don’t hold much love for Ferrari, but I 100 percent want them to take P2 from Merc.

True. The fact that we’re even having to do the math is ridiculous, he should be easily 100+ points ahead.
I think Checo has done just enough to secure second place in the standing. Assuming P1 is blocked by Max for the remaining two races, that’s only 38 possible points for Lewis. He’s 32 behind currently. Checo just has to not pull another Mexico and score 7 points in two races. And that’s not even accounting for other drivers like Lando that are likely to steal points from Lewis.
My issue with one lap qualifying with the fastest going last would be that during a quali like we’ve had this weekend, if you go last, you’re screwed because suddenly the track is wet or you even get a red flag. Imo it’s much more entertaining when everyone tries to poker with when they do their laps.
Yeah, pretty much this. Would have been best had he never bothered with 3d printed and manufactured parts as they allow a level of control (or illusion thereof) that would have never been possible with wood. Who cares if you’re losing a couple of marbles during a show (no pun intended), or if the snare drum isn’t tight to the thousandth of a second?
