Michelle Obama tried to encourage better eating habits the Republicans attacked her.

Part of her plan would have banned Cheerios in schools because of added salt. That was one of the things getting pushback.

Her initiative to get added sugars listed on nutrition labels had very broad support.

Do overtakes when someone's in the pit count?

You risk losing positions with your 2nd driver by protecting your 1st. I'm not sure other teams didn't think about it, they may not have seen the benifits.

The extra stop just highlighted how terrible Monaco is.

Professors need to adjust to teaching kids in the Ai world. Relying on take home assignments to gauge how well students understand the material will not work anymore.

I think they're hoping the change will make taking an extra stop less costly, we could see more cars charging through the field with fresh tires. The problem is that if you make the pit stop cost too low everyone will come in and there will be no differing strategies.

All punts are not from the 20, that's why average punt distance is not a good metric some punts are from the 30 some the 40, and even some from the 50.

And why pray tell do they not try to kick it the furthest every punt?

Touchbacks

10 yards of field position could be the difference between winning and losing.

So could the 40 yards they gain by no throwing the ball away.

Average isn't the metric to use, punters don't try to kick it their farthest every punt, most punts are within a punters range.

10 yards of field position is worth a chance at a big play.

There's more to scotch than ila, different regions have very different taste profiles.

A $250 aged rum is not going to make a rum and coke taste noticeably better than a $50 rum.

On 3rd down (out of field goal range) if your choices are dump it down for a short gain and no first, or hold it and risk getting sacked but have the opportunity at a big play the penalty for the sack is not that high. Punting from your 40 vs your 30 doesn't change much, NFL punters can all punt over 65 yards.

I've never understood why taking "unnecessary sacks" is bad. On 3rd holding the ball allows for big plays I'd risk losing 10 yards for a chance to gain 40.

Fast cars are spectacle, slow heavy ones are not. It's why semi truck racing ia less popular than f1.

The 1st season was so good. Bologna sandwiches at a luxury event, FEMA tents blowing over, inadequate sanitation and dudes sucking dick for bottled water. There is no way fyre 2 can top that.

It's not lack of resources that causes FE cars to be so much slower than F3 cars it's the batteries. F1 budgets are a tiny fraction of the R&D being spent on batteries.

If you told teams they had 200kg min for fuel, engine, motor, and battery and left the rest up to them teams would not be using motors and batteries. From a racing pov they slow the car down.

The electric motor has been around longer than the combustion engine, there's no major breakthroughs to be had there either. The only piece that to innovate on are batteries. Currently batteries are not energy dense enough for f1, fe cars are slower than f3 cars.

The nantional average for egg prices peaked in late February at $8.17 a dozen, current prices are $3.12 a dozen. A dozen eggs in LA are currently $6.30 which is high but they banned the sale of caged chicken eggs so the disparity is understandable.

Technology making cars faster is what f1 is about. The v10 made 1,000 hp and weighed 120kg, the motor & engine in today's cars make about 1,000hp but weigh close to 200kg when battery, motor, and engine are considered.

The v10 may be dead as a passenger engine but for a race engine it's still superior.

Electric motors and batteries have less performence per kg compared to an engine and fuel. If rules were changed and teams were allowed 300KG for an engine, fuel, motor, and battery you'd see teams use motors and batteries even less than then they do now.

Some have metal pressure tanks inside.
