@brrrake @DomingosPodcast Be careful with that João, he is a MENACE!

[Gil Abrantes @gilfabrantes]

@brrrake Does it have a race trace though?

[Gil Abrantes @gilfabrantes]

@randysingh86 And that's a sample of what might be to come if it falls on the wrong hands! Hope you got a warning after that last pic. Disturbing stuff!

[Gil Abrantes @gilfabrantes]

@toomuchracing Hey Pat! Your F2 calendar is missing the recently added Le Castellet (on 23-24/07) round, in case you didn't notice it. Also having the provisinal Season 09 dates to the Formula E calendar would be awesome. Thanks for the calendars, very useful!

@nick_mccleery The stuff landlords in England get away with is even more annoying than VBA!

[Gil Abrantes @gilfabrantes]

@nick_mccleery What about a Windows VPS running somewhere and you RDP into it from Ubuntu?

[Gil Abrantes @gilfabrantes]

@nick_mccleery @ubuntu Not nearly as awful as VBA! But yeah, I agree they are an acquired taste! I've tried running Windows VMs dozens of times and always end up falling back to dual-booting, which is also not great. There is also WSL which works quite well to sort of do it the other way around.

@brrrake @EngineMode11 Good old Hanlon knew what's up: "never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity."

[Gil Abrantes @gilfabrantes]

@f I struggle to accept an email with that tone is even real, but if it is indeed real, it can fuck all the way off.

@nick_mccleery "Also, you have to look really bored all the time and don't even think about speaking a word that is not in German!"

[Gil Abrantes @gilfabrantes]

@nick_mccleery @Jon__Marshall I've got a better idea: What if, everyone doing a desk-based job could have the flexibility to avoid the commute altogether and work from wherever they wanted? 🤗

[Gil Abrantes @gilfabrantes]

@NaomiPanter On that note you probably know Flower, but if you don't: https://t.co/ils4OLZkPp

[Gil Abrantes @gilfabrantes]

@nick_mccleery Fully agree. It's like being "Head of" for a group of 2 people.

@NaomiPanter @newbalance @NewBalanceUK Alitalia Lancia Stratus.

[Gil Abrantes @gilfabrantes]

yes! iRacing is especially good at this because series are so well compartmentalized. I started running a few stock car stints to relax between my road racing runs (not having a go at anybody!) and that got me started with oval racing!

[Bozi Tatarevic @BoziTatarevic]

Sim racing is a great way to get people to cross over between various forms of motorsport.

[Gil Abrantes @gilfabrantes]

@gabednconfused Having said that, I fully understand your mentee's option. It's a checkbox that some of us need to tick off.
They will go there, learn a whole lot, eventually get bored and possibly frustrated and move on with life in a better environment! /cc @GDubRacer

[Gil Abrantes @gilfabrantes]

@gabednconfused All good points worth of some public awareness. On top of that the new budget cap explicitly excludes drivers and the team's top 3 highest paid personnel which is absolutely shocking.

@mattamys Merry improvised Christmas! :)
