  1. Formula 1 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix 2023 - Season Finale - Results

    Warning: this post may contain spoilers

    And the 2023 Formula 1 Season has ended!

    This isn't a spolier this "late" in the game, so congratulations to Red Bull Racing Honda RBPT for winning the 2023 World Constructors' Championship, and their driver Max Verstappen for the winning the 2023 World Drivers' Championship. Plus all the other records Max has smashed this year—talk about domination!

    The 2024 schedule is out and the first GP is February 29 - March 2 in Bahrain.

    Pre-season testing will also be in Bahrain, Feb. 21-23 (the week prior). We usually get a little bit of sneakpeak, I think.

    Anyway, enjoy the break, everyone. I know I'll enjoy not waking up at odd hours or not sleeping for F1 sessions for a few months! See you all -- according to David Coulthard -- in 97 days for testing!

    Now, it's like everyday, we get some new development that ping-pongs back and forth. Is this what this is? Some kind of elaborate plan to get everyone talking about and thinking about AGI and OpenAI?

    I'm only half-serious. Having worked for a non-profit for 16+ yrs, I know how crazy non-profit boards and leadership can be.

    When I was like 11 or 10yo, my family went to a museum and as I was wandering the gift shop, I noticed a book for kids on how to build a website, via HTML. I was already on the Internet (AOL days) and thought it'd be cool to make my own website, for my then favorite topic: Pokemon. So I asked my parents to buy it for me. And then I made a Pokemon website (complete with midi music), initially on a floppy disk, then actually uploading it to Geocities or somewhere like that.

    8yrs later, in-between the summer high school and college, I got my first "real job' as a part-time website manager/email marketer via my then GF's mom. Like had my own office and everything. Eventually turned that into more of an IT job, as I was handy with computers overall.

    I've worked for this company now for 16yrs now, over two separate stints, plus working at an MSP and even the Federal Reserve.

    So yeah, that book kicked-off my career.

    As crappy as that experience was, I can still say I was at the inaugural F1 Las Vegas Strip Circuit and got to experience some of it live. Lots don't get any of that experience, and just hearing the cars in-person...it's just wow. You definitely need to check out a race one of these days!

    Since my folks live here (I'm still in Vegas), I'll probably come back again in the future. Ideally, the kinks will have been worked out by then. Even if it's not Vegas, I'd love to go to another F1 race. Spa would be great before it maybe gets pulled from the calendar.

    But honestly, I'm thinking my next race will be an Indycar race. Way cheaper and the racing is just as good; sometimes even better. I'm thinking Grand Prix of Monterey at Laguna Seca. I think 3-day tickets are only $200.

    • Exemplary

    Yup, I was there on Thursday in the Sphere area. Our seats were around T5 (doxing myself, confirmed).

    After FP1 was red-flagged and cancelled, we hung around drinking and eating (all the food was free and pretty good) and dancing (Mark Ronson and Kylie Minogue were awesome), expecting FP2 at midnight. But around midnight, when the music was done, it was announced that FP2 was delayed til 2:00a or 2:30a, and food services were ending.

    So we decided to head into the nearby Venetian to get some coffee and warm up. At that point, it was getting cold sitting/standing around doing nothing. We scanned-out properly with our tickets. We were initially told we couldn't back in after 12:45a, but then some staffer came by to tell the gate staff that to ignore that and let people in after 12:45a.

    I nodded off in a coffee shop in the Venetian, even with a coffee! Around 1:45a we were ready to go back to the stands, but then we noticed lots of people streaming away from the Sphere bridge, along with lots of F1 Guest Services people in red coats. We asked one of the Guest Services people who kindly explained that FP2 was closed to fans, everyone was getting kicked out, even the workers, due to some kind of labor regulation. So I personally didn't get kicked out; I just wasn't allowed to re-enter. That was disappointing, to say the least.

    Afterwards, we had to figure out how to get to an Uber pick up area, because the one we were initially dropped off at was on the other side of the now closed Sphere fan zone. That was an adventure on its own. Saw lots of other confused and lost fans dealing with that, too. We had to get out of the "inside" of the track zone to be able to find a valid Uber pick-up area on the outside of the track. We ended up crossing over Las Vegas Blvd to Treasure Island, close to T12, to use their Uber stand. By that point, it was 2:30a and FP2 started. So we at least were "rewarded" with the incredible sound of the cars going flat-out on the Strip. But we could barely see anything, since most of the sidewalk fences were covered-up. Luckily, security was pretty lenient and letting people watch and listen from the sidewalks (think people would've rioted otherwise).

    We didn't stay for the whole thing; getting back home around 3:30a. Think the roads were scheduled to reopen around 5am? Didn't even know the Strip was planned to be open for normal traffic during the day. Thought that was unusual.

    So yeah, that was my first F1 experience. $1000 total for 4 tickets. $300 for my flight to Vegas. $100 total for Uber RT. And probably another $100 for beers. So about $1500 for 7min of FP1. 🙄

    OK, I'll admit it. I didn't think Las Vegas was going to be that exciting. I was proven wrong. What a race!

    But F1 still owes me money for the Thursday night FP1/FP2 debacle!!

    Anyway, the final race of the season is at Abu Dhabi, Nov. 24-26. Which is already next weekend! Didn't even realize we had a double-header.

    I'm in Las Vegas for the new Formula 1 race. My family and I had some tickets for last night's two practice sessions. I'll just put this here. And for some additional context.

    Needless to say, we're all just a bit frustrated. $1000+ for 7 minutes of racing. I will say, hearing the cars in person driving by at 200+ mph is insane.

    Other than last night/this morning, the week was pretty good. Got lots accomplished at work before I went on vacation, so I feel pretty caught up. Remotely helped my co-workers at a conference they were running, which I'm typically at. While I can't say all the technology went off without a hitch, there were no major issues that affected attendees. Just minor back-office stuff. With this event over, that's basically it for 2023. We roughly follow the academic calendar, so we're just kinda on the downhill until the new year. Looking forward to the slow period.

    Today, I got a notice from a tentative new job that seems like I've passed an important step in the hiring process. Which means I have to work on the next step. Joy. But I'll work on that next week.

    It can get really deep, especially once you start getting into mods (and there are some mods you'll eventually want to have for QOL reasons), but that's your choice. Same goes for the DLCs; the base game is perfectly fine. The DLCs are only for if you want to go deeper.

    I'm sorta in the similar situation as you. I'm an FC, but I'm no particularly social with them. I don't do the club stuff either, as it's too cringey for me (though I have been in "Femboy Hooters" before >.>).

    I tend to spend most of my time in various instances. But not the savage/ultimate ones and only rarely the extremes; just the regular and hard versions. While I'm technically back on the MSQ grind, having just started Endwalker, I keep getting distracted. My latest is the Bozjan Southern Front, which is an optional area in Shadowbringer. It reminds me of Guild Wars 2 with the world events and people just fighting mobs everywhere, and partying up for a bit, then leaving once the thing is done, then joining with a new party once something else happens. Idk, it feels like old-school MMOs. The player party isn't structured; it's just all in-the-moment.

    Anyway...Honestly, there's no right way or wrong way to play an MMO. Which is what makes MMOs so great IMO; there's usually something for everyone. I've known people who played MMOs just to fish and cook. Or mine/resource gather (one of my favorites things to do in many other MMOs). Or people who just spend all their time in instanced PVP. Or people who get real social, maybe even straying into RP or ERP.

    Since you idle in GS, do you actually do the mini games there? Any of em particularly fun?

    Where do you live at or are from? Are you by chance from like Minnesota or somewhere up that way? Because this isn't the first time I'm hearing this about Catholics, that most American Catholics are hardcore hateful conservatives, and doesn't mesh at all with Catholics I've met (and I was raised Catholic). And so far, the few times I've heard this mass characterization of Catholics, it's Catholics from the northern Midwest. That's not to say I haven't met Catholics as conservative as that (and they were from Minnesota). But I've never known them to be the majority of Catholics.

    I think the last (and only) time I watched a State Opening of Parliament was once during the Brexit debate years. I also watched during the controversial (and unlawful) prorogation of Parliament in 2019, which Boris Johnson pushed through. I'm an American, fwiw.

    It's always fascinating to see the traditions and pageantry involved in all of this. From the King and Queen in full garb, to the Peers in robes, Blackrod having the door shut in her face, and everything else. In contrast,
    the first day of a new US Congress, from what I've seen and heard, is more like the first day of school!

    But then it's funny to listen to the King talk about securing energy markets, new oil leases, and the development of self-driving cars and machine learning are such a contrast—as modern day issues (at least the AI stuff)—to the "old-fashioned" traditions! That said, every so often I see something that Parliament does, where I go "Ahh, that's where that thing they do in Congress must come from..." Which is neat.

    Thanks for sharing!

    During hybrid regimes, my office was like this too. It ended up that many people (such as myself...especially myself) stopped showing almost completely. Like once a week or even every other week. I did that without any formal approval. Even leadership started doing that. Because what was the point?

    Luckily we finally went full WFH back in April. Like sold the building off. We spent at least half of 2022 full WFH, with the other half in our sorta "hybrid" schedule. So it made sense to finally go full remote.

    Now we just rent a tiny one-room office in a WeWork-style location, along with a storage unit.

    I was on reddit (I know, I know...) after the race and lots of people were jumping on Perez still for allowing Alonso to pass him up. But it's Alonso. And he's in a resurgent, improved AM. Alonso is literally the most experienced driver on track, a 2x WDC. Yes, Perez is in one of two best cars on the field, but I think it's still difficult to keep Alonso behind.

    I could be wrong (I don't know tracks well enough), but it also seems like Interlagos' DRS zones are placed in such a way to encourage those kinds of back and forth, where if a driver gets overtaken, that driver still has a chance to get the place back with DRS. I feel like we saw that several times during this weekend's sprint and grand prix.

    So yeah, I agree, Perez did as best as he could, against a very formidable opponent. And to be fair, he did what he needed to to: End up ahead of Hamilton, to score more points and keep his P2 in the WDC for now.

    Well does "free" mean that a person owns what they live on? If not, how about US federal government-owned Bureau of Land Management (BLM) land? There's tons of it out in the US West. I know...

    If not, how about US federal government-owned Bureau of Land Management (BLM) land? There's tons of it out in the US West. I know there's a lot you can do on BLM land with no cost. I imagine you can't build a permanent structure on it, but I bet you could tent or maybe even RV camp out there for free.

    Dispersed Camping
    Camping on public lands away from developed recreation facilities is referred to as dispersed camping. Most of the remainder of public lands are open to dispersed camping, as long as it does not conflict with other authorized uses or in areas posted "closed to camping," or in some way adversely affects wildlife species or natural resources.

    Dispersed camping is generally allowed on public land for a period not to exceed 14 days within a 28 consecutive day period. Camping limitation rules vary per office, please check with your local office for details on camping limitations. In addition, campers must not leave any personal property unattended for more than 10 days (12 months in Alaska).
