About 780 last I looked. Utilization went up when I decided to do some travel this year. But go on thinking that the only people that want a system reformed are the ones that don't know how to work it.

I'm sure that'll get you far in life. All the way to brown-nosing middle management.

You get Boomers.

No, seriously. The "greatest generation" came home, beat their wives, drank everything in sight, spooted out 2.2 kids, proceeded to beat and abuse them while also giving them everything they wanted because you could support a family of four on a single factory wage, and then those kids grew up to be absolute self-absorbed nutters that fellate authority (because daddy was mean) while demanding "respect" for things they never did.

Imagine that, only you don't have the massive financial power of 1950's America at your disposal.

Russia's about to become an absolute landifill fire of a country and I wouldn't doubt that with 5-7 years it's entirely Balkanized.

"I'm going to shit on this group of workers by shitting even harder on this other group of workers."

Who's the privileged one here?

What a fucking cunt.

This is entirely wrong. The plank has been in place since the mid 90's as a ride height check. This porpoising shit hasn't existed for more than a couple of years.

The plank has nothing to do with porpoising. It's been in place since the mid 90's and was instituted to enforce minimum ride height rules after Ayrton Senna's death. The ground effect cars that suffer from porpoising have only been legal for a couple of years.

Triggered a wee bit?

• It has the plank as a check on ride heights. It was instituted after Ayrton Senna's death, which was caused by the FIA's short-sighted ban on active suspension. The imbeciles that claim it's for porpoising have no clue what they're talking about and need to be ignored. It's almost thirty years old and porpoising is a problem caused by ground effect cars that have only been legal for a couple of years.

• Nobody said anything about checking every part. Learn to fucking read. They already extract fuel and weigh the cars. You cannot tell me the FIA doesn't know how to have a wear part manufactured so there's a visual indicator of said wear and then shove a fuckin' camera under the weighbridge. Hey, guess what? This is already a solved problem. Visual wear indicators exist everywhere.

• No fucking clue what you're on about with AI. Maybe you're just compensating for your prior ignorance?

• And yet you persist.

The "clarification" is wrong. It has nothing to do with porpoising. Unless this porpoising was somehow present on non-ground effect cars in the mid 90's when the plank was introduced.

Flaccid vodka-drunk inch-dick vibes.

You just keep being you, whoever you may be.

• "Hey Siri, what does 'facetious' mean?"

• You fail to understand that the problem is not this time, it's literally every race weekend where a small portion of the cars are checked for compliance rather than all of them.

• Yes, the FIA is in fact supposed to predict the future to the best of their abilities. That's kind of what you do as a governing body. That's why you have parc ferme. You predict that the teams will try to cheat their balls off. That's why you have the plank. Because you predicted that teams would try to cheat their balls off. If this part is so important, an external part that you can visually inspect for wear, then there is no question that it should always have been inspected on every car after every race otherwise the whole thing is meaningless. Then again, most things the FIA does are in fact completely meaningless because they can't even enforce their own rules four times out of five.

  "But Red Bull didn't break the rules!" You have no idea who broke the rules because the majority of the cars on the grid were not inspected, including Red Bull's other car. That's the problem.

Some changes will come from this. Hopefully they'll finally ditch the stupid fucking plank that no other motorsport, to my knowledge, needs to enforce arbitrary ride height rules.

So you've never had an emergency or a need for a large one-time purchase. Good for you. You are not everyone. The sooner you learn and understand that people that aren't you exist, the sooner you can graduate high school.
