Ah yes, looks like piefed.social is currently having an outage or trouble. That explains it

For some reason I can not access the new community coming from piefed.zip . Fetching it fails.

I’ve seen stuff from minds.com on my mastodon timeline quite a while ago, so it must have been at least some time now that they’re federated

Sainz and Wolff dropping out after multiple national automobile clubs have already thrown their support behind Ben Sulayem. Looks like they know they wouldnt have a chance how it stands right now.

I hope at least the european clubs will vote against him. Hugely disappointing to see clubs from South America and other places support Sulayem.

So these are the guidelines that the stewards use when deciding on on-track incidents. I didnt even know that there are standardized guidelines like that.

Really interesting comments by Watts on how Covid impacted the no way home production in multiple ways:

“The emotional strain of having to go through all of those COVID protocols while also trying to make something creative while also trying to make sure that your cast and crew were all safe — literally, people could’ve died if you did things wrong — that and the postproduction process was very difficult. When you’re doing [visual effects work], there’s a whole international component to it where you’re using vendors from all over the world, and the supply chain had been interrupted because of COVID. It was really hard to get effects done in a traditional way.”

Of course it isnt fun when you go into it with the mindset that the story will be that. I have only watched the first episode so far and it doesnt seem like Iron Man to me at all, bar the fact that it’s comic booky and superheroe-y.

And my point was that reviews should actually review a show/movie. And not be a general feedback tool for how a franchise is perceived. The studios have failed in providing such more broad and general feedback channels.

Please mark spoilers ;)

Case in point, apparently you don’t even realize that this isn’t a movie. It’s a show.

People review bombing stuff that they don’t want to see, and probably didn’t even see (or just the first five minutes), simply is not behaviour that should be encouraged. Unfortunately nowadays reviews don’t mean shit anymore for the original purpose of reviews: to be a guide for people who are interested in watching something, to see if watching this particular thing is worthwhile.

Nowadays these reviews or ratings are being used by the monoculture people to say “at the moment our monoculture likes x and hates y”. And that’s stupid bs that the mainstream has caused.

Yeah I did not understand this either. She got a grant and should have been working on her project with that grant money. Why did she need other money?

Solid first episode.
Having Jim Rash show up at MIT is always great.
Not sure though about the way they make it seem like every scientist who is bothered by the red tape of the system would instantly agree to go around stealing and extorting people. RiRi was a bit quick to accept that offer. Gives me Scott Lang vibes.

The ending with what seems like ::: spoiler spoiler

is a great cliffhanger.

Driver Academies are useful for other purposes as well. Binding juniors to yourself to at least have the leverage/managing relationship, controlling which competitor team in F1 or which other motorsports series they end up at. Aston benefits from having drivers for their WEC program for example.

Awesome! And with that the next round of speculation begins about which TV characters could all appear in this movie
