Okay, so I’m playing in Plat 2 and pushing towards Plat 3.

I don’t have any mechanics realistically, I can aerial with around 80-90% accuracy and hit it where i want it to go, i can’t wave dash or jump off the wall to dribble.

In fact, I can’t really do any of the main mechanics people tell you to learn before even leaving Gold.

I think my game sense must be good as I love adapting to my teams and finding the gaps to fill.

Is this normal for somebody to be pushing Plat 3 yet incapable of doing a wall to flip reset dribble?

Am I lucky to be here or is this deserved?

I have followed this sub for awhile due to the really inspiring and highly interesting content.

One day I hope to own a small apiary myself but in the meantime it would be great to support the small scale beekeepers by buying their organic, non corporate-interfered honey.

I’m in the UK so this may not apply to all but I wondered what I can do to try and support my local bee keeping industry by buying their products, not just necessarily honey.

Thank you in advance. 🐝

Previously the beverage and aerosol industry wasn’t able to push beyond 8-colour printers.

I changed this forever, hence why cans have become more vibrant and much more accessible.

I know it’s boring to the average consumer possibly but I’m open to questions if it interests you.

I’m watching the race again as it was a great battle between Lewis and Max so I wanted to watch it again.

The clipping of the car is ridiculous. When in charge mode the car is absolutely plummeted in pace terms.

The car obviously isn’t in a place to P1 on a track like Austria due to the horsepower deficit still existing but the clipping is something that can surely be straightened out with the data from this race.

There’s no way the car used to clip that badly or that the deficit showed that much. 30kph was quoted by Antonelli as the difference he thought it felt like.

I think realistically the drivers both had to overdrive the car which just made the tyre degradation EVEN worse.

Great from the drivers to at least be aggressive and try with a significantly compromised car but I think some of our loss of pace was the software being not entirely compatible with the new PU Upgrade.

Interested to hear your thoughts?

This race has a ridiculous penalty for not carrying out the pit stop.

Guy ended up over 1.00.00 away. Meant he kept the lead and kept the result.

I was caught in a great battle throughout most of the race in second which luckily I prevailed in but some guy gets to keep 1st despite not playing properly whatsoever?

Bit of a joke, should be a 4.00.00 penalty instead to deter this nonsense.

The centre of Huddersfield and arguably the surrounding urban suburbs resembles a post apocalyptic ground zero site.

I lived in Huddersfield from Birth to 20 years old, the town had its faults but retained a lot of the working class Northern charm which a lot of similar towns geographically have.

Fast forward ten years since leaving and it saddens me to see the state of my hometown.

The council should be deeply ashamed of how badly they have corruptly and negligently damaged the image and character that once was Huddersfield.

For a start, the town centre crime is off the charts. We are talking London like statistics on a per capita basis. The reasoning for this is very simple. Horribly managed police enforcement which seem to base their entire mantra on reactive policing rather than preventative. The town centre whether you like it or not is not remotely a safe place, especially not after dark and on a weekend.

Another problem is the insistence on creating architectural projects which have ridiculously over inflated budgets and have no clear path to profitability other than a “build it and they will come” mentality which may work for baseball playing ghosts, although it is horribly detrimental to a town already in decline.

Lastly, as stated the town has been economically in decline for a long, long time. This may have been exasperated by Amazon and online shopping as well as post covid buying habits but regardless, the shop rents are insane. I don’t understand the concept of charging disproportionate rents to town economical output. The whole framework around this needs ripping up and totally re-evaluating because the centre’s shop distribution represents the town’s current sentiment.

Bookies, Greggs, Fast Food Chains and gimmick shops which open for a couple of weeks before failing miserably.

Overall, I wanted to post this because it was deeply saddening to see that the whole emotion of the town has been vacuumed out by total incompetence and it has become a poverty eyesore with a town centre resembling a barren wild west settlement.

Hopefully things can improve into the future or somebody can gain some pride, competence and intuition within the steering authorities within the council because otherwise, I don’t see a future for the town personally.

Makes me incredibly sad & angry.
