They showed a replay on F1TV that had the left side tires on a drainage grate in the green paint. That did seem to upset the car.

Went to Spain with some friends for some R&R and the eclipse and my friend Andy got this amazing picture from our spot in Alcossebre 🇪🇸. Enjoy our view of the eclipse.

I'm doing some research into AI and the impact it has on the environment for a talk I'm giving in September. Does anyone here have any knowledge or opinions on this topic they'd be happy to share with me? Is this a topic being talked about at all in the #datacommunity? #ai #sustainableai

So the Cup car she’s in is not great at all, but her Indy ride is solid. She’ll probably finish the 600 laps down but here’s to her finishing both races well! Glad her sponsor has the $$ - she’s been good on the sports car side for a long time.

Been having a few chats about tech debt recently, everyone seems to have a different view so I have pulled this survey together. forms.cloud.microsoft/e/a7Bx2U4tXd It would be great to get your thoughts & feedback. My plan is to publish the response data under creative commons for everyone to use.
