  1. It's not a cheap thing to put on, lots of setup and lots of money involved https://sites.lsa.umich.edu/mje/2024/04/29/is-hosting-an-f1-race-financially-feasible/ To answer that question, it is important to start at the beginning of the business operation track owners embark on in hosting. And from the beginning they are already losing money. If they do not already have one, they must design and build a track typically costing upwards of $270 million, with yearly maintenance fees averaging $18.5 million (Balla, 2023). Moreover, these costs do not even include the necessary track additions for races such as grandstands (~$14 million), safety barriers and fencing (~$8 million), race pits, offices, parking lots etc., (Sylt, 2017). But if miraculously, owners already have all this, they do not avoid paying up. After a track is in place and Liberty Media, the owner of Formula One, has completed its necessary track inspections, track hosts must pay a hosting/race promotion fee to Liberty Media. This fee must be paid for every single race hosted and is estimated to be between $15-50 million and upwards for prime time races like the Qatar Grand Prix towards the end of the season (Bodsworth, 2023).
  2. Then you have to do what I did, get a family lawyer, he submits the paperwork to Family Social Services I had to go for a lengthy interview with a social worker, bring a translator. Had to have 2 supporting witnesses to verify what I had said. These documents get sent to the family court About 3 months later I stood in front of a judge and was granted 100% Parental Powers. When my son and I moved back to my home country these documents were gone over and copied before my son (10yo) got a stamp in his Thai passport saying all documents had been seen/read and he was good to go. Didn't get this amount of scrutiny for a vacation previously but for emigrating they were quite thorough.
  3. It warms my heart to see occupier refineries ablaze
  4. A Different sort of Pontiac. 1969 Pontiac Beaumont, made for the Canadian market, it's a Chevelle with a different grill and some bits inside. Mine had a 350ci/350hp stock engine Worst decision I ever made, in 1980 I had the chance to buy a 1969 Camaro factory stock 427CI 4 speed for 8,000 dollars. It still had the dealer stickers in the back window. I said no way and bought a new Harley Davidson Sturgis twin belt.
  5. Was working on the Yadana Pipeline for PTT in 97, getting paid in USD so our money effectively doubled. Was some worry about banks collapsing but our advice was to use the purple bank, I was told it was at that time majority owned by the King and that the country would have to be in flames before that bank would go under. Looking at condos in Pattaya for my boss, Royal Cliff had some amazing fire sale prices Food was cheap, living was cheap, life was good.
  6. How can this be? Ukraine has been crushed s/
  7. But sanctions don't work, according to the bots
  8. The PEA noticed evidence of electricity meter manipulation, with readings showing lower power usage than the actual amount consumed. That's what's illegal
  9. https://www.ema.europa.eu/en/opinion-medicine-use-outside-EU/human/mosquirix Mosquirix is a vaccine that is given to children aged 6 weeks to 17 months to help protect against malaria caused by the parasite Plasmodium falciparum. 25.9% in infants 6–12 weeks of age, and 36.3% efficacy over median 48 months in children 5–17 months of age. Limited in the age range and not that effective in the target group, so useless for the AN crowd
  10. For all those that think the US is delivering cash to a bank account in Ukraine
  11. Hit the refineries, next hit the storage depots
  12. Since your not capable of using Google but rely on the old, "I'm Republican and I'm outraged", here's a link What Zelensky wears on a day to day basis ranks right up there with Obamas tan suit, but yeah, your outraged https://www.aei.org/op-eds/most-of-the-money-in-the-foreign-aid-bill-would-stay-in-the-u-s/
  13. Longer range ATACMS is what they needed last year, better late than never. Add F 16 to be coming later this summer
  14. 14 meticulously crafted contracts, Said with a straight face
  15. I've done this when I lived in Udon Thani PM level of say 150 outside, very visible Air conditioner has to be set on recirculation mode, not fresh air intake PM level of 5 - 10 driving a Ford WT model, I was quite surprised
