You know, Jesus did grow up. You don’t always have to call him baby. It’s a bit odd and off putting to pray to a baby.

Pack it up folks. The seasons already over. Max is going to obviously win again.

Aside from the electricity, that sounds a lot like traditional currency.

You’re right, SATA isn’t going anywhere for a very long time. If you have a need for 4+ TB of total storage there is nothing at all wrong using HDDs or 2.5" SSDs.

Wasn’t Mercedes consistently saying their performance issues weren’t due to the sidepods? The primary issue was the floor and having to run a higher ride height.

Assuming that was true, then it makes sense RB would want to go after the benefits of the zero pods if they can maintain floor and suspension performance.

I’m assuming you’re genuinely asking and don’t understand why… Living out of a car is a sign of being poor, and businesses, police, etc. don’t want poor people loitering around. That doesn’t apply to truck drivers because it’s a profession and they will reliably leave where they’re sleeping after several hours.

I’m not saying it’s right, that’s just reason for the difference in treatment.

Well of course, taxpayers fund much of their R&D. So what else are they supposed to spend their money on?

Do they really though? I know they say they do, but I don’t think the mean it.

At the end of the day, manufacturers participate in F1 because of marketing. Not because of the opportunity to develop technology. Since F1 is a marketing exercise for them, they care more about the image their teams portray. Just like how F1 wants cars to project a particular image.

They want their brand associated with people seeing the car and saying “wow, now that’s a racecar.” ICE in F1 won’t be going away until the general public divorces ICE from the image of high performance racecars. It has nothing to do with speed or technology development.

F1 doesn’t genuinely care about being road relevant. They haven’t for many years (if ever).

If they did care, they would have allowed active aero, less restrictive powertrain constraints, and many other innovations.

They care more about preserving the “image” of F1. And because of that, ICE will not be going away for a very, very, long time.

It’s definitely not a zero pod concept. At least not in the style of Mercedes. This is just a dark picture at a poor angle.

The sidepod inlet is definitely uniquely shaped and there is a very aggressive undercut, but there is also an obvious sidepod.

I don’t think so. I mean, theoretically I see how that might apply to a small number of remote workers, but the vast majority of minimum wage workers (and many hourly workers) are in jobs that require a physical presence at the workplace.

That seems like a much more sensible (and realistic) approach to me.

I’m on board with people across the board making more money, but $50/hr everywhere in the US seems unrealistic.

Where I live (Midwest) that would put you in a very high percentile income bracket. But in much higher cost of living areas it’s probably still barely enough to get by.

I feel like minimum wage should be adjusted by cost of living.

I agree. The sidepod inlet is very unique looking with the fillet feature on the bottom, similar to what I remember on the zero-pod car. The subtle water slide on the top of the sidepod kinda looks like last year’s Alpine.

The lack of stays on the floor is another obvious change for them from last year. And I don’t remember the big scoop on the tip of the front wing either.

People are less educated now than they were in 1900? That could not possibly be more wrong.

Access to (and participation in) education has increased dramatically for the overwhelming majority of the population. Just look at literacy rates.

Similar structures in the middle east were also constructed around that time frame.

I just linked to the Reason article since that is what the OP article links to. A different organization actually performed the 1995 survey.

Although, I haven’t been able to find the original survey with a very brief Google search. So maybe take the Reason summary with a grain of salt.

Goodbye bathtubs. You were fun while you lasted.

This is also a shift from when older generations were young: In a 1995 survey by the consulting firm Wyatt Co., under-30 Gen Xers — the “works sucks, I know” generation — were actually the most satisfied with their jobs than any other age group.

That answers the main question I had after reading the headline: did all generations feel this way at this age, or is this unique to Gen z.

Edit: just read the about the 1995 survey referenced in the article. It’s pretty interesting. https://reason.com/1995/05/01/heh-heh-work-is-cool/
