Arminius Link ParentThis would make decisions more consistent. My only doubt is in case there is bias in the permanent group against a driver/team, then it would be there every race.This would make decisions more consistent.

Arminius LinkFor me it looked like the penalties were inconsistent this weekend. Like the Piastri/Sainz incidents are no penalty, but Magnussen gets multiple for smaller infractions?For me it looked like the penalties were inconsistent this weekend.

Long ago I had Risk II which had the game mode "same time risk" where you planned all your attacks at once, at the same time as the opponents. Then you submitted the plan and all the combats of the round got resolved. This added a whole different layer of strategy and anticipation and I enjoyed it a lot.
A game like into the breach is a good game, but not exactly what I mean as the opponents move is already shown beforehand, and they have a different moveset as the player.

Comment on I've got my IELTS speaking test in a few hours. Is there anyone here who has taken the test and has some tips to share? in ~humanities.languages
Arminius LinkI took the test some years ago. You can't really study for it, so the only advice is to be focused, hydrated, and have energy.I took the test some years ago. You can't really study for it, so the only advice is to be focused, hydrated, and have energy.

Arminius LinkRecovering from a knee injury has been a slow and long process, but I ran 6x2 minutes without issues yesterday. Hopefully the problems with shins and calves won't return while I slowly build up...Recovering from a knee injury has been a slow and long process, but I ran 6x2 minutes without issues yesterday.

Arminius Link ParentFully agreed, the hard liquors are all unappealing to me due to the strong alcohol taste. Whiskey in particular since it adds some foul tasting ingredients like peat or whatever on top of the alcohol.Fully agreed, the hard liquors are all unappealing to me due to the strong alcohol taste.

Arminius LinkThe clock is the one thing that is globally accepted as a standard. It's so simple that children aged 5 can understand the concept. I really see 0 benefit in changing it.The clock is the one thing that is globally accepted as a standard. It's so simple that children aged 5 can understand the concept.

Next to music I also like that it reads messages out loud and lets me reply in speech to text. The navigation also works well with speech recognition. It really lets me be handsfree also for music selection which you can't do with Bluetooth only.
