Merc appeared have found a whole different interpretation of the #F1 diffuser regs 🤔
There's a huge opening in the side! It can be seen both sides. Probably working with the huge undercut on the sidepods to create more downforce
I wouldn't call this a double diffuser

NATO did not "stay a little back, off the front lines."

Danish, British and Estonian troops served in Helmand, and Canadian forces in Kandahar - the two most dangerous Afghan provinces.

Denmark, UK, Estonia & Canada suffered amongst the highest per‑capita soldier death rates when defending the US.
Trump on NATO: "I've always said, will they be there if we ever needed them? That's really the ultimate test. I'm not sure of that. We've never needed them. They'll say they sent some troops to Afghanistan and this or that. And they did. They stayed a little back, off the front lines."

there are five Premier League teams in the top eight and six in the top eleven of the Champions League table

but the PL teams had on average far easier schedules than the other top clubs in the CL

but the reason they had easier schedules is they couldn't be drawn against one another

As a result, Oliver Lines gets a record which will probably never be beaten nor matched, as he found himself on the receiving side of two professional maximums scored by different players in the same day. A pretty incredible achievement, if you ask me… #147sf
So far, maximums have been flying today in the opening day of the Championship League Group 6. First, Xiao Guodong scored his third career 147 in his 2-3 defeat against Oliver Lines. Then, just a few hours later, Wu Yize compiled another 147, his first professional ever, again against Lines #147sf

Trump is giving a deranged, rambling monologue in Davos to an audience stunned into silence. He sounds incredibly tired, his voice raspy; he keeps trailing off into long pauses. It's jaw-dropping.

The sanewashing headlines are going to say "Trump Doubles Down On Greenland Demand In Davos Speech"

Lisandro Martinez's goal for Man United at Burnley was wrongly disallowed by the referee, according to the KMI Panel.

However, the KMI Panel said the VAR was correct not to intervene and agreed the on-field decision should stand.

Some perspective: The S&P opened down -1.3% on Trump's Greenland saber-rattling. That's $750 billion of wealth destroyed -- roughly equal to estimates of the value of Greenland.

And so ~in dollar terms~ his shenanigans have already cost the US one Greenland, and we've got nothing to show for it.
