Seems a tricky question but easy if you make concepts clear. First think of why airplanes fly.

So if the conveyor makes the plane stationary relative to the ground then there will be no lifting cause air is not flowing and so no forces aplly on the wings

I've watched the mythbusters episode and they didn't prove anything because the plane actually did move relative to the ground (and relative to the air that flows and lift on the wings ). If you look at their car and conveyor example, the car does not move relative to the observers. A plane in that situation will not lift off ever

What can be more important than fresh coffee delivered to bed..? Priorities!

Quote from Gekkibi :

I have trained my wife to get up from bed half a hour before me so she can make coffee for me. Then I just look into her eyes using my copyrighted *doggiepuppystare* and voi'la: Coffee brought to bed!

I wake up an hour before my girlfriend so that technique don't suits me
Anyway... having trained her in cock sucking seems useful for me

Too much effort for me

I've trained the water in my house to turn at direction I command
Now I'm trying to do the same with milk so I will be free from disolving the sugar of my coffees by hand

Quote from Hyperactive :

Also unlike last year, it is probably better tactic to buy stuff earlier and then sell them later because the price increase may be even larger than the trade loss (bourdais was good money lol).

I'm a bit stuck with the Force india engines. Every other engine keeps getting more expensive but the Firce india just keeps getting cheaper. Soon I won't get any money from it when I eventually change it to better one

I'm thinking of selling Bourdais for this GP and moving from Force India engine to Toro Rosso, but I'll wait to practice sessions to make my final decissions

Quote from Dajmin :

Where's my updates, damn it? We didn't get any new bonus questions before the race, we've not had any updates yet.

Has the site just died? Do we have a backup plan in place for this?

I think bonus question and bets will be relleased tomorrow or on wednesday. Time to make numbers and think on the Bahrein team

At LFS-Spain league when we have races with TBO cars, we tend to choose combinations that balance the cars performance, although this is hard for favouring XRT

As an example the last time we used that cars the combinations were SO Chicane Rev and BL Rallycross Rev, forcing each driver to use the same car in both combinations (checked by the league software).
The results were like this:

SO Chicane Rev:
87 RB4
39 FXO
10 XRT


BL Rallycross Rev:
96 RB4
23 FXO
6 XRT

So it seems that RB4 would be favoured mostly for the Rallycross combo

Results of both races can be checked here:

Yup, the incident at China , mini owned for me!

But a few comments about that race too:

http://www.20minutos.es/notici ... /0/alonso/suzuka/renault/

He also said that he understand that for Renault the constructors championship is more important, although he can't share it , and that the relationships at Renault are fine and the atmosphere couldn't be better, as everyone was really motivated.

I must say that Alonso most of the times would be better with his mouth closed , but the press insist in taking the blame titulars instead of the greetings (and they do fine, really more funny to see people angry for such a tiny thing :nod

I really wouldn't want to see such a nice car parked at the sand near the pits

And what think at Mercedes about a prize car powered by a BMW engine?

Quote from Linsen :

And I'm not an Alonso hater either. It's just that all you ever get to hear (or better: read) from him is whining, complaing or threatening his own team. And I don't believe that it's a media conspiracy. He's simply getting on my nerves.

Maybe not a media conspiracy but it's the image they want to sell for Alonso. Spanish TV makes a very close following of Alonso career, lots of friendly interviews so you can see clearly what Alonso feels really, far from official press releases. And almost every time he's talking about improve, focus at the next race, looking at his main rivals, etc... really few words about blaming his team or whinning, but those fews are the ones that press takes as titles

And let me know if Alonso ever had a whining about Renault... maybe things at McLaren actually deserves that words indeed

Quote from ATic ATac :

I was thinking just in that quote when i said that translations are soo good for manipulation

BTW, looks like you use forocoches.com also with that roto2 logo

Yup!
And being there for more than 2 years now, I can say I'm cured from all type of blame-that-idiot-F1-driver stuff (and put in there whatever Alonso or Hamilton)

Quote from axus :

Mythdat, it's enough to so much as hint that you might be looking for another team, after only two races with the current one to show lack of loyalty and discourage the whole team. I've seen at least 5 websites suggesting that he did this. No matter how much they take his words out of context, they can't just blatantly lie. If you have half a brain on you you should be able to suss out what's subjective and draw your conclusions from there.

Tristan, sure thing.

Believe me, it's all out of context
If you read the whole interview you will see that it's the logical answer to that question. He could answer that Reanault it's a great team and he's very happy and proud to be back and he'll never leave the team for a better one and blah, blah, blah... then eventually the press would use that answer to piss on him for being a lier

The same thing is happening with Hamilton's words after Malaysian GP when he said "I could do with a beer" about the pit stop. Spanish press sold it as he was blaming his team for incompetents

As i read F1 reviews from various sources and I can understand Alonso's words in her fully context and coming from their mouth I warn you that there's a complete manipulation of his character by the press. I think Ecclestone didn't like Alonso

And yes, even the last year Alonso always said that his time at Renault was a great one and that he has great friends in there. Never heard a bad word about Renault coming from his mouth.

On the other side... don't you people think Hamilton is a bit arrogant too?

Quote from Hyperactive :

Quote from xaotik :

Englishmen will drink it all regardless.

Mazz4200

So, he was right

Quote from mythdat :

Just another example of the press being gits really.. the interviewer was pushing him for a Ferrari comment, basically putting words into his mouth. He was asked if he wanted to be in the best car, then Ferrari would be the logcal choice - to which he replied, he always tries to be in the best car, and that Ferrari is usually one of the best.

I hardly think there would be a problem with him and Kimi. When he went to McLaren, he didn't expect that the team would develop an obsession with wonderboy. Not once did Alonso ever complain that he wanted to be undisputed No.1 - but it's not exactly a nice environment to work in when the team are all too busy cheering someone else on to be particularly interested in what you're doing.

If he did go to Ferrari with Kimi, he'd know that with two WDCs in the team, there would be no No.1.

Exactly the same that I think.
Before someone gets tempted to mark me as an Alonso fanboy only for being Spanish, I must say that I have no special sympathy for him, although I think he's a superb driver.

You must know that many people in Spain really hate Alonso in his early years, specially the ones that have been watching F1 before Alonso comes in. He had a "bad" relationship with the press (not a very talkable person :tilt and quite an arrogant attitude before winning anything.

Eventually he became the champion he always feel himself, and the press stop persecuting him so nowadays he seems nicer to people .

So I think everyone of you who hate Alonso, maybe are a little influenced by the press, who manipulate his words quite often (especially British one :shrug. In the other hand many spanish people hate Hamilton just for the same reason, as the spanish press insist on blaming him for how McLaren act last year .

So... having said that, it's obvious for me that any driver in the grid would love to sit in the Ferrari, and Ferrari would love to have Alonso or Lewis in their files as both are superbs drivers that could win the championship year by year

luckily i was able to recover in time, and now with 18 years old i have an (almost) normal life (the girlfriend missing :razz

So don't waste your time educating the wannabe-trolls in an internet forum and get yourself a girlfriend

Nice!
Drink Team is now 4th on subleague and 9th on general ranking

Let's wait to bonus question before setting up the team for Bahrain

Quote from dawesdust_12 :

I'll be brutally honest right here.

That is ****ing insanity. I should be able to wear all the dangly ear rings and studded belts as I want, and if I want to wear a colourful skirt, I SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO! That's all I can say about that schools dress code... as it appears to me to be entirely fascist.
Who the hell cares what someone's wearing, as long as their tits or genital bits aren't dangling out in blatant fappable view.

And you can if you want, just pick up another school
Same for business... if you want to have a retard hair cut (and it's so important to you) then pick up a proffession that allows you to. If you want to be, let's say, a lawyer, then I think you are stuck to suit and tie

So if the guy wants to be a two-legged ad, then he'd better move to a school that allows that type of fashion

EDIT: Noccy, you said it better than me
