Ha proof I did the thing! Go vote NYC! Also note the anti-Cuomo fuckery tape at my local, lol! And yes those pens are amazing! Use them constantly!
Picture of a NYC pen you get when you vote that is white with blue ends and a red clip. The pen sits above 2 stickers one is red and in white text says Brooklyn Votes Early and the other is red white and blue and says I Voted Early and is the standard sticker you get when you vote early. All 3 are on a brown tabletop. Picture of black gaffer tape on sidewalk with the words 100 Feet No Electioneering written neatly on it in white. Also top of my sneaker visible bottom left of photo with tape at top.

Ok so sometimes people wonder why I get so little done at home and whenever I try and explain they just don't believe me. But at last I have video proof... Volume up as they say.

@shahanafrombk.bsky.social @cmshahanahanif.bsky.social There is a constant stream of commercial vehicles exiting Prospect Expressway onto E 5th despite multiple signs prohibiting it. This one crossed Ft Hamilton which has a school & library on the corner and prohibits commercial vehicles. As usual.
Picture of an 18 wheeler on a tree lined street with a large dumpster that is dark blue on its trailer. Cars are parked on both sides of the street and it narrowly fits. Pedestrians are visible at the crosswalk it is approaching and the edge of a schoolyard is just visible across the intersection from the pedestrians

Sometimes my F1 friends wonder why I'm called Matt Trumpets, because Trumpets are an actual engine part (exhaust). But no, it's a music thang. And yeah that's an NYC Ska Orchestra banger. We'll be at Joe's Pub Aug 16th if you wanna drop by!

"Two great tastes that taste great together" Behold I give you ClF3 aka chlorine triflouride, from the fantastic book Ignition by John D. Clark
All this sounds fairly academic and innocuous, but when it is trans lated into the problem of handling the stuff, the results are horren dous. It is, of course, extremely toxic, but that's the least of the prob lem. It is hypergolic with every known fuel, and so rapidly hypergolic that no ignition delay has ever been measured. It is also hypergolic with such things as cloth, wood, and test engineers, not to mention asbestos, sand, and water —with which it reacts explosively. It can be kept in some of the ordinary structural metals — steel, copper, alumi num, etc. —because of the formation of a thin film of insoluble metal fluoride which protects the bulk of the metal, just as the invisible coat of oxide on aluminum keeps it from burning up in the atmosphere. If, however, this coat is melted or scrubbed off, and has no chance to reform, the operator is confronted with the problem of coping with a metal-fluorine fire. For dealing with this situation, I have always rec ommended a good pair of running shoes. And even if you don't have

Ok so I have written multiple technical F1 posts in my head that I have wanted to share, but instead, how about a little clip from todays presser with LH... IDK just thought some followers might enjoy if they hadn't seen it yet.
Text from the FIA press conference in Australia "LH: Beside his great hair? His eyes. I mean, he's a good looking lad, you know! What surprised me most? Well, I would say, I would say work ethic. It's been really, really..."

He also says their lawyers have raised questions regarding these actions that remain unanswered. So they have told the FIA that their actions are in breach of their statutes and unless the issues raised are addressed, more legal action is incoming... election season off to a spicy start... fin
These actions by the FIA are in breach of their own Statutes. As a result, we have informed the FIA that unless they address the issues we’ve raised, we will be engaging in further legal action.

1st he basically says MBS had great plans failed to deliver. 2d here is what he says was in new confidentiality agreement. At last WMSC meeting (where decisions about many things, including F1, get finalized) it was sign or be excluded (he refused). He characterized this as a "gag order". 2/n
Everything was now considered confidential, without any qualification, preventing me from necessarily sharing what I considered to be relevant information l The FIA, at its own discretion, could decide if anyone breached the terms of the new confidentiality agreement with no process or frame of reference l There was an immediate fine of €50,000 for any breach and a threat of undisclosed damages
