On February 1st 2024, it was announced that 7-time Formula 1 World Champion Lewis Hamilton and Formula 1 team Mercedes AMG Petronas would be parting ways after the 2024 season. This announcement ends an 11-year long partnership between Hamilton and the Mercedes works team, and a 17-year long relationship with their parent company, Mercedes-Benz.

Hamilton will drive for Scuderia Ferrari in the 2025 season. It will be the first time in his racing career driving a car with no connection to the Silver Arrows.

What kinda icons do y'all have on your desktops? I'm thinking of making an icon set and don't want to omit anything major.

Icons that'll definitely be included:

Recycle Bin

My Computer

VLC media player

Firefox / Generic Internet Symbol / (Chrome? Safari? probably should)

GIMP

OBS

Steam

Discord

1997 LucasArts flop Yoda Stories

Stardew Valley

Minecraft

Various multi-purpose icons (sword, pencil, music note, etc.)

An alphabet/numeral set

I'll probably go over a couple lists of best selling pc games/software to try and fill some gaps, too, but my guess is that some programs will overlap more with the cross-stitch crowd than others (are you guys playing Euro Truck Simulator 2?? I will include it if you are)

Lamborghini Countach from the Chattanooga Motorcar Festival—owned by the Cathy Truett car collection (owner of CFA). My understanding is only eight of them were painted in this color and less than 2000 were made altogether.

S3 Yugioh GX was like casually the most fucked up this to happen and it is also the season with Jim's Dinosaur Car

Pictures that fuel the 007 vettonso au that exists in my head(for now)

Also go listen to "You Know My Name", and think of Vettonso while doing so because I think it is SOOOOOO them coded(but also f1 in general tbh.) And also if you've seen Casino Royale, hey, remember that chair scene? >:)
