From my observations FE shows there are pretty simple principles to "better racing", but unfortunately they're rather at odds with modern F1:

• smaller cars
• more reliance on mechanical grip over aero (or just less grip in general)
• longer braking zones
• slower cars

Congratulations, you just created the pinnacle of motorsport

I think if Ferrari is somewhat ahead and it's mostly about HAM vs LEC, then Leclerc has a much better chance of winning the championship. He knows the team and the car way better. On the other hand if 2025 is as close as last year and 3 or 4 constructors are taking points off of each other, it would be more about consistency and not getting some unlucky DNFs, in that case I imagine it could be way closer between the two.

I find https://app.electricitymaps.com/ a lot more legible and friendly, and the hourly view is really nice if you want to see fluctuations in solar and wind.

https://www.iea.org/ also has some cool data.

Yeah, that's essentially my point. DAC just introduces an unnecessary step to the process, which will result in some efficiency loss. Not releasing CO2 in the first place (by using renewables) should always be preferable.

What I mean by entropy is that we burn fossil fuels (low entropy) and release CO2 into the atmosphere (high entropy), so it takes a lot more energy and effort to remove CO2 than simply not burning fossil fuels.

Clearly laws of physics work against us when we try to remove a relatively low concentration gas from a planet-wide system.

I don't question the working principles of DAC, or as you mention separating gasses. It's just that burning fossil fuels for energy would make no sense if you had to use most, if not all of that energy on DAC. And if you want to use low-carbon energy to power carbon capture, why not use it directly to replace fossil fuels? It seems to me that to reduce net emissions it's most efficient not to emit it in the first place.

That happens sometimes with AM4. For anyone else reading this: just twist/slide parts to break the adhesion. Trying to pry a CPU off sounds like a recipe for disaster.

No, if you get lapped by the leader, your race distance is effectively shortened by a lap. You don't drive for an additional lap to catch up, you just cross the finish line a lap down. Naturally if you crash out you won't be able to complete every lap either.

Basically completing every lap implies:

• a reliable car, especially considering this year's calendar was longest ever
• clean driving without major accidents
• good pace, since the driver didn't get lapped
