I’m only saying this because we’re on the subjects of education and correcting spelling/grammar.

An overdue change imho. I wouldn’t have expected Ayao to be picked but he seems knowledgeable in his field and well liked from what I’ve read about him. I hope he finds as much success transitioning to the TP role as Andrea Stella and James Vowles have.

Romain Grosjean also told NBC Sports on Friday that he is out at Andretti, but “I’m a Phoenix. I will always find a place to land.”

Grosjean’s landing spot, however, may not be in IndyCar, but in sports cars. Grosjean has a contract with Lamborghini and is helping the manufacturer develop its new hybrid prototype for the World Endurance Championship and IMSA WeatherTech Sports Car Championship series.

That’s a great way to do it, but that solution excludes a lot of people renting or in condo HOAs that don’t have easy access to overnight charge points in their complex’s or city’s lots. Hopefully those missing pieces are addressed soon so EVs feel like an option to everyone driving an ICE car, not just homeowners with garages.

It has been reported that Hugo Boss will be taking over the title sponsorship rights of the AlphaTauri team.

It’s really crazy just how quick politics flipped in this state once we passed the redistricting referendum. Like, I knew there’d be a shift in power, but holy wah. The MI GOP basically owned this place for decades.

Having lived in Sweden for about a half year and visited a few other times (study abroad and lots of family there), geographically the whole country kind of reminds me of the midwest (barring the more frozen part way far north where the trees get smaller). The more wooded and snowy parts of the north remind me of the upper midwest, the south more akin to the large rolling fields of the farming parts of the midwest. Vänern feels like a Great Lake. The archipelago filled Baltic coastlines remind me a bit of the rockier Lake Superior coastlines of Michigan, Wisconsin, and Minnesota. I could see why my grandpa and many other Swedes felt comfortable emigrating to this part of the country about a century ago.

"Gut punch" feels weirdly accurate.

Pretty amazing work by the mechanics to get the #311 Cadillac back out, but they sure have a lot of laps to make up to get back into the race (17ish laps behind the leader atm).

I had to search [!iasip@lemmy.ml](/c/iasip@lemmy.ml) in All communities and refresh/start a new search page before iasip loaded. I think simply searching iasip now though will work for you now that it's "cached" on the midwest instance (someone more knowledgeable about this federation model please correct me if I'm wrong).

This whole debacle was the final straw for me to finally kick Reddit and move to a decentralized non-corporate platform, and I know I’m not the only one. Really hoping the general migration picks up a ton of speed after July 1st and more people learn that the federated model isn’t too scary or hard to understand🤞

Hey! Yooper reddit refugee checking in, was pleasantly surprised to find a midwest-focused instance! Hoping there's another yooper on here, there's not too many of us though :)

I do not-so-exciting software development for a property & casualty insurance company, but try to add spice to my life with lots of bike rides, motorsport, and travel. I'm into nerdy tech and financial topics, Scandinavian culture (am Swedish/Finnish American), and F1. Glad to be here!
