Food is better. E.g., if you like seafood the prawns are double the size, calamari 4x the size etc. Everything about half the price in good restaurants for equivalent quality. As for women. That depends on taste. Plenty of blonde athletic women. My tastes are more… diverse though. |

So , Checo crashed on purpose a $4.5Million hole in the Red Bull budget cap (!) Red Bull called 50% from the 2025 development people back to find a way to fix the RB20 fundamental design flaw. This will for 50% sacrifice the 2025 RB21 development (!) See my post here => https://www.m3post.com/forums/showpo...9&postcount=74 To fix the RB20 issue completely , a complete new car is needed => https://www.m3post.com/forums/showpo...3&postcount=89 I think you are trolling ...

As for your stats about 37% of Americans hold a passport and in a recent large survey 40% had never left the country. To compare the UK has about 85% of residents hold a passport. |

Just to clarify. I’m not a US hater. I love the place. For folks that haven’t been there it is more like 50 countries in one. Everywhere is so different. Almost to European levels. Each state has their own culture.
I even got married there. My kids even have 3 passports. UK, US and Australia. I was born in UK but grew up here. What I’ve admired the most about the US is the can do positive attitude. Compared to most countries the lack of tall poppy syndrome. The joy in other people’s success. So refreshing. I feel that attitude is now in some trouble and has been for some time. I’ve noticed it more and more on my visits. I hope there is a reboot in November. That positive attitude can’t ever die. It’s what the country is built on and why it is so great. Australia is culturally in the middle of UK and US. Americans love it here just as much as we love it over there. We celebrate success unless you get too big for your boots. UK generally chops people down early. Having said that Australians still love to visit the UK as well. I could happily live in San Diego county. That’s my number 1 pick. Carlsbad, Encinitas, La Jolla. Then again it’s weirdly like where I live so perhaps that’s some bias. Possibly the worst place in recent memory is San Francisco. It has turned into a horror movie. Remember those old adventure games? You leave your hotel room. Do you turn left or right? You turn left. You are confronted by the stench of urine and are attacked by a drug addled zombie. You turn right you reach luxury shops but are accosted by beggars. You continue onwards, down a steep hill and reach a pier sanctuary with lovely restaurants. Finally. We have better food. And better F1 drivers. But you have awesome car museums. What a place! |

Be as it may, chocolate and bread in America are just fine. There are literally thousands of mass production and boutique chocolatiers and bakers in America. The choice is practically countless. The vast majority of Americans know the difference between good and bad. Obviously there are the infamous ‘food deserts’. (With my work I’ve been to a few and indeed it sucks donkey balls.) But I doubt our multi-passport, business-class, Porsche-driver, jet setter visits those very often. He’s a 1% living the dream. (I too am guilty of that.) Only in his corrupt imagination he ate vomit-tasting chocolate and bread in America. |

Vegimite is an Australian staple...
There's bad food everywhere. Just gotta know what to get and from where. You can't just go to Malibu and declare that the entire country has crap food. Some things worth trying - a lobster roll from the new England coast - Best I had was out on the Mass coast. BBQ - this is a controversial topic and there's lots of different types of BBQ out there, but best I ever had was in Kansas City. If you want to clog your arteries in one sitting, grab yourself a legit Philly Cheesesteak from south philly. Also had some absolutely incredible american/mexican fusion in Santa Fe New Mexico. Try a good Chicago deep dish pizza. There are a lot of really great regional foods in the US. Australia is certainly a place I'd like to travel to. Spent a few hours in the Sidney airport on my way back from a few week trip to NZ some years ago. That flight and the jet lag kinda sucks, but always fun getting to new places. Maybe some day. |

kmag, who has clearly been a menace all season long, caused 2.5 mil of that. And somehow Checo is now crashing on purpose? It may be that they're not going to get there with the RB20... when the concept came out at the beginning of the year it was clear that they were either really onto something, or wrong. We can see what direction it went... |

I’ve been to many states in the US. Every coastal part of California North to South, Washington state, Illinois, Minnesota, NY, upstate NY, New Jersey, Georgia, Tennessee, Texas, Philadelphia and probably more I can’t remember. I got married in Philadelphia and had a cheese steak at the place that invented cheese steaks. Sensational. Sorry can’t remember the name but you probably know it. So good. Maine Lobster is superb. They are small but so incredibly tasty. A lot like our “bugs” as we call them. Yes. I had a Chicago deep dish pizza. English folk will understand this. I was conditioned to not leave the table until I ate all my food under the threat of death. So I ate a full deep dish pizza myself supposedly personal size. It was delicious. Except I’ve never been so ill. I was so full I threw up. I was just commenting that the average food is really bad. There is of course great food. I’ve not disputed that. But then I encountered that weird man that seems to love chocolate sandwiches and sees them as American culture. Very strange man. This escalated in a strange way. I’ll just refer to him as chocolate sandwich man. Anyway. Probably best to get back to F1. I’m over the moon about Newey. The future is bright. Very bright. |

The average American anything is quite interesting (embarrassing, almost), and yeah, average food is generally terrible when I back up and think about it. I just don't eat any of it. Focus on the good stuff |

Maybe like chocolate sandwiches. Apparently I’m “privileged” though. So you can likely ignore all my opinions. Weird that 10 years ago I had problems sleeping wondering where the money was going to come from to pay my bills. Amazing what hard work and believing in yourself can do. There will always be simple, jealous people putting it down to “privilege” though. But remember that I also apparently make things up. Like the guy one foot from my face yelling at me when I turned right in SF. Or the 20+ people I had to avoid that were screaming at the universe. I believe it’s somehow related to chocolate sandwiches. |
