f1nance.bsky.social @f1nance.bsky.social · 04/09/2026Glad to be wrong. I thought the economy wouldn’t be able to withstand trade wars and oil shocks without recession. 130
f1nance.bsky.social @f1nance.bsky.social · 09/08/2026Wow, Canadians still really upset about losing in the Olympics! They’ll cling to any little victory where the best U18 in Canada played some American kids that could be bothered to show up to a tournament nobody’s heard of. 000
f1nance.bsky.social @f1nance.bsky.social · 30/07/2026Those are about to be the best strawberries you ever had, bro! 010
f1nance.bsky.social @f1nance.bsky.social · 23/07/2026The budget per student for the public school my kids don’t go to is more than double the private school they do. Which has vastly better outcomes? The reason they oppose vouchers is their malfeasance can’t withstand the slightest competition. 000
f1nance.bsky.social @f1nance.bsky.social · 21/07/2026And now you know: the US Senate. Nobody can tell the difference. 000
f1nance.bsky.social @f1nance.bsky.social · 09/07/2026You should really meet some conservatives sometime. Do you imagine they don’t have women they love? That they don’t worry for their freedom and safety? It’s an absurd idea that political ideology equates to misogyny. 010
f1nance.bsky.social @f1nance.bsky.social · 06/07/2026It was a bad call under a bad system. There was no negligence or intent to harm another player. Many other sports have systems of punishment that result in better behavior while playing hard. Trump does terrible things, but undoing injustice isn’t one of them. 010
f1nance.bsky.social @f1nance.bsky.social · 05/07/2026You seemed uninformed, so I told you the basis. If you want to now stick your head in the sand because you don’t like it, have fun. 100
f1nance.bsky.social @f1nance.bsky.social · 05/07/2026Why? The commenters said the same thing I said. 110
f1nance.bsky.social @f1nance.bsky.social · 05/07/2026Agreed. I thought they just got their legs tangled and clearly so did the referee in live action because he didn’t even give a yellow. More broadly, soccer’s penalty system could use work. E.g. hockey’s penalties do a better job of controlling behavior while letting them play. 010
f1nance.bsky.social @f1nance.bsky.social · 05/07/2026VAR was used improperly. They’re not supposed to send still images in this situation and they did. This was a subjective question of intent and for that, they’re only supposed to send full speed video. 110
f1nance.bsky.social @f1nance.bsky.social · 29/06/2026The world feed is the problem. 20 years ago, that made sense. Today, F1 could easily provide everyone with 100 camera feeds and let broadcasters decide what to show. Or if you just want to have the turn 6 camera on like you’re at the race. All the onboards was a great idea. More of that. 000
f1nance.bsky.social @f1nance.bsky.social · 04/06/2026I thought this was an obvious move for both sides. Ferrari would be hard pressed to do any better and they’ll need to replace HAM at some point, so stability by keeping LEC. For LEC, it’s the second fastest team fairly close behind. I don’t see a better option for him. 154
f1nance.bsky.social @f1nance.bsky.social · 02/06/2026It wasn’t that long ago you could get a perfectly nice house in the low 100’s. Specifically, I lived in one in 2011. 000
f1nance.bsky.social @f1nance.bsky.social · 02/06/2026A lot of people are just not paying attention and treat politics like sports team alignment. There’s probably some team that you’ve supported while knowing very little about the current team just because you haven’t been following for awhile. I certainly have. That’s what’s going on. 000
f1nance.bsky.social @f1nance.bsky.social · 02/06/2026Remarkably resilient. I see two massive countervailing forces: energy crisis vs hyperscaler capex. The result is volatility but mostly maintaining constant levels across many data sets. One of those forces is going to wain before the other and there’ll be a hard move one way or the other. 010
f1nance.bsky.social @f1nance.bsky.social · 29/05/2026I think Ferrari ought to use modern technology to build a car as close to an F40 as possible that can be sold for ~$250k. They’d sell as many as they could build. 000
f1nance.bsky.social @f1nance.bsky.social · 25/05/2026The good thing is I think this puts Kimi/George at 50-50 to win the year. George is still the more complete driver and he’ll likely close the gap throughout the year. 000
f1nance.bsky.social @f1nance.bsky.social · 25/05/2026It’s the only SM site that doesn’t seem to be mostly AI bots 000
f1nance.bsky.social @f1nance.bsky.social · 17/05/2026This is a bad framing because it isn’t quite true and most people know it. They are gerrymandering and it will disenfranchise black people, but it’s not about race. It’s about gaining power without needing to persuade voters and black people are collateral damage. 100
f1nance.bsky.social @f1nance.bsky.social · 17/05/2026Doubt it. It’s fine for some niche markets that don’t have other options, but they’ve been a nightmare. Large capex to install hardware and then, massive increase in service price without warning while decreasing service caps. Bait & switch because its not promises weren’t economical. 000
f1nance.bsky.social @f1nance.bsky.social · 11/05/2026He’s on his way to one of his favorite tracks to drive the fastest car where his closest competitor will probably be his sophomore teammate. Pressure? Yeah. Deserved confidence? Also, yes. 010
f1nance.bsky.social @f1nance.bsky.social · 10/05/2026I liked the congestion charge before and was pleasantly surprised it did more good than I was expecting. I’ve had trains living in Europe and they’re not the panacea and the idea that they’re going to replace a significant amount of short flights is divorced from reality. 000
f1nance.bsky.social @f1nance.bsky.social · 10/05/2026I already do all of those things in my private airplane, but that’s not really the point. The most favorable place for HSR in the US is NY to DC with stops for Philly and Baltimore. Maybe, public investment pushes it into viability, but the lack of business interest makes it seem uneconomical. 110
f1nance.bsky.social @f1nance.bsky.social · 10/05/2026That would put many more people on the roads resulting in the increased deaths of hundreds of people every year. Also, it would increase carbon emissions and decrease economic output. 100
f1nance.bsky.social @f1nance.bsky.social · 09/05/2026In my 7yo’s league, they don’t keep score. I assumed this was because they wanted them to have fun and not worry about the score…until I saw a game. I now think nobody was willing to keep scores of 37-32. They let them hit off a tee if they miss too many pitches so it’s impossible to strike out. 010
f1nance.bsky.social @f1nance.bsky.social · 09/05/2026That’s a great idea. By pure chance, that was when F1 was exactly as it should be! 020
f1nance.bsky.social @f1nance.bsky.social · 07/05/2026I didn’t know what a pangolin was and I now regret finding out. It was more fun not knowing and trying to guess. I thought it might be the canopy on a rickshaw or a type of umbrella or hat. It’s probably possible (but inadvisable) to have a taxidermist make a pangolin hat, right? 010
f1nance.bsky.social @f1nance.bsky.social · 05/05/2026I think it’d be swell to have no engine regulations at all. Let’s see some 3-stage boost V-16s with 3,000 hp. 000
f1nance.bsky.social @f1nance.bsky.social · 04/05/2026Meh, Russell just didn’t want to get taken out by a midfielder 000
f1nance.bsky.social @f1nance.bsky.social · 11/04/2026I think I read a study once that found a high inverse correlation between average education level in women and birth rate. 110
f1nance.bsky.social @f1nance.bsky.social · 11/04/2026Hungary is a place that probably wouldn’t extradite a political criminal to the United States. 000
f1nance.bsky.social @f1nance.bsky.social · 30/03/2026It seems to me my kids have tantrums because they can’t express and/or control their emotions. Some people try to discipline it out of them, but discipline is for things they can control. 1140
f1nance.bsky.social @f1nance.bsky.social · 30/03/2026American F1 fans haven’t had a good driver in 50 years. Just pick a driver to support based on their character rather than nationality. Wasn’t VER born in Belgium and spent most of his life living in Monaco anyway? 000
f1nance.bsky.social @f1nance.bsky.social · 22/03/2026There’s a different calculus here. Purchase price isn’t the way to think about it, but operating cash flow. If the total cost of the added specialized software/hardware is cheaper than a human driver, then, Bob’s your uncle. It’s a question of when, not if all taxis are driverless. 000
f1nance.bsky.social @f1nance.bsky.social · 22/03/2026I’m going to start having AI make everything you write sound like Yoda 110
f1nance.bsky.social @f1nance.bsky.social · 16/03/2026I root for the groundhogs…but only twice a year. 001
f1nance.bsky.social @f1nance.bsky.social · 13/03/2026Do you? Because I can think of MANY things I’d rather be doing. 120
f1nance.bsky.social @f1nance.bsky.social · 12/03/2026What if the cannon was just a really long tube and we just ran the oil through it like a pipe? 010
f1nance.bsky.social @f1nance.bsky.social · 11/03/2026GRRM is famous for the Westeros stories, but it’s not all he’s written. If you wanted something different, I’d recommend Fevre Dream. I enjoyed that a lot. 161
f1nance.bsky.social @f1nance.bsky.social · 07/03/2026Probably ahead of his teammate in the world championship, too. Can’t remember a time that’s happened since 2018 010
f1nance.bsky.social @f1nance.bsky.social · 06/03/2026All of it was abysmal for me. F1tv on Roku was doing this weird only showing zoomed in top-left 1/4 of the feed. I switched to Apple TV on Xbox. That was buffering every 10 seconds or so. There is no F1TV for Xbox. Apple on Roku mostly worked, but I was about to just watch on my iPad. Abysmal 100
f1nance.bsky.social @f1nance.bsky.social · 04/03/2026I think a good target would be full power/no clipping for 1 lap of qualifying. The energy budget is such that most teams can start a quali lap full battery and go all out for the whole lap by ending it with near zero battery. Maybe at some tracks under the current rules? 000
f1nance.bsky.social @f1nance.bsky.social · 04/03/2026What’s the ability/timeline for increasing the ICE output? Presumably some combination of increased revs/fuel/flow would input more power to the system and it seems like that is the deficiency: not enough energy to spend it on lower leverage parts of the track. 100
f1nance.bsky.social @f1nance.bsky.social · 03/03/2026We’re they about 4 seconds behind everyone else? 000
f1nance.bsky.social @f1nance.bsky.social · 26/02/2026Aside from Merc & RB, outside chance for Alpine, Haas, or Williams 010
