Verstappen punished for swearing in Singapore GP press conference
  • Language like that is quite common in the Netherlands, I suppose it's all rappers there. I fail to see how this did any harm to F1, or motorsport. It is childish. This will further reduce the quality of press conferences where drivers really do not say anything but the usual: "Car was [not] running well, we are [not] confident we can run for the top places [run in the points]. We have [no] upgrades. See you after the race.".

  • Hamilton accuses FIA president of 'racial element' over swearing issue
  • I find Hamilton's remarks quite racist. Does he realize that 'rapper' is not a race?

    Every criticism on him feels for him as racism. He should really start reflecting and look at problems like this without thinking about his skin color.

    I'm white and lived in a country where I was racially profiled on my skin color on daily basis. Not complaining, I could always go back to my home country and I did after many years. Happy to have experienced it and with that in mind i find hamilton a winy little kid.

  • Project for people leaving Google Maps.
  • Very useful for me, thanks a lot. I am offline a lot and have always struggled with gaps (which allows offline maps but gets in trouble with offline rerouting).

    It is easy to submit map update requests to Google (I had a high contributor level), is there a simple manual for this for OSM?

  • In India, where the arrest of executives is in the IT act, they are still active while they (self-)censor heavily. Check the BBC documentary critical on Prime Minister Modi's alleged misdeads. Musk's X removed all tweets with links to the documentary.

  • That album is sssoooo bad.... it has for example a version of Help (the Beatles) that will make your ears bleed. It is a miracle that DP continued after this. Lucky for us they managed to improve and gift us great music.

    Hush is not too bad, probably because they stayed close to the original.

  • George Russell has been disqualified from the race for an underweight car
  • OK I found it myself : https://us.motorsport.com/f1/news/were-russells-worn-tyres-the-cause-of-his-spa-f1-disqualification/10640096/

    “We expect that the loss of rubber from the one-stop was a contributing factor, and we'll work to understand how it happened.

    “We won't be making any excuses though. It is clearly not good enough and we need to make sure it doesn't happen again.”

    The missing weight of 1.5kg may sound like a lot, but we are only talking about 375 grammes from each corner.

    And as Pirelli head of F1 Mario Isola has explained, that is well within the boundaries of how much a worn tyre loses.

    The letter questions India's commitment to being the world's largest democracy and refers to the words of jurist John Rawls, stressing the importance of justice and the need to reform or abolish unjust laws and institutions. The plea is for the judiciary to uphold equal liberties and protect rights secured by justice, emphasizing that such rights should not be subject to political bargaining or social interests.

    this emergency test today

    Loud alarm from my phone's speaker came with it.

    Just wondering what happens in traffic if everybody at a crossing gets these alarm sounds from their phone at more or less the same time.

    India suspends visa services for Canadians in further decline in relations

    Announcement of ‘security threats’ follows Justin Trudeau’s claims India was involved in Sikh activist’s killing

    India suspends visa services for Canadians in further decline in relations

    Relations between India and Canada have further deteriorated after Delhi announced it was suspending visa services for Canadians due to “security threats” faced by its embassy and consulates in Canada.

    BLS International, which runs the Indian visa offices in Canada, put a notice on its website stating that all visa services for Canadians were suspended until further notice, citing “operational reasons”.

    Arindam Bagchi, a spokesperson for India’s foreign ministry, confirmed the suspension at a media briefing, mentioning “the incitement to violence, the inaction by the Canadian authorities and the creation of an environment that disrupts the functioning of our high commission and consulates” as the reason.

    [.....]

    Should Canada impose similar visa restrictions on Indian citizens, it could have a significant impact. Indians topped the list last year of legal immigrants to Canada, with more than 118,000 becoming permanent residents in 2022. There are also more than 320,000 Indian students studying in Canadian universities.
