Wait until you find out about Duesenberg. They made 400hp supercharged straight 8 monsters that cost more than a doctors annual salary back in the 20's and 30's. They were much faster than even race cars of the era. IMO the first relative "hypercars" if you compare what else was available.

And they're the best at all of that.

Losing Gale due to a failed dice roll is nothing like a dlc that's an absurd claim. You can't just reload a save to unlock a dlc. It was that simple for Gale.

Failing a roll is on you whether you like it or not. The ever looming threat of failure is important in story telling and suspension of disbelief. It's the opposite of dumb game design. So yeah you either reload until everything gets handed to you or you move on. You're talking like he's locked behind a dlc when you're just pissed a dice roll didn't go your way at level one.

Consequences of your decisions is what makes this game special. You're going to have a bad time going forward with this game if you cannot deal with the fomo.

Is it for the entire country? Because if so that seems very low.

All of them.

Wow. Couper des services au lieu de rendre la job viable. Du génie.

...Just says there's a transponder that's supposed to judge if there was movement. It says nothing about how said transponder achieves that judgement. It doesn't simply senses movement as you astutely pointed out the car very obviously moved. That means it needs a reference point.

So Is it gps? Is it an accelerometer? Is there another sensor on the grid it has to cross? Is it telemetry? Why is there this much wiggle room?

I would honestly be interested about where you got that the transponder is based on movement vs position. And I don't say that to catch you in a lie at all I am thoroughly honestly interested in this and would like to learn more about this tech.

edit: and yes from the in-board cam it does look like at least the contact patch was in-front you are right.

Well he was far enough not to trip the transponder no matter what the camera suggests.

Ahh didn't know about that thanks for the precision. Still feels a bit harsh to me, especially the second one where he went wide.

I'm not so sure about your second point. He might have set up further back (probably unvoluntarily) so even when he jumped he didn't cross the limit of the grid box. This would also mean that they didn't have any infringement on the rules you posted so they couldn't just give him a penalty.

I remember some years ago it was possible to measure drivers reaction time at the start. I remember Bottas even had an almost impossible reaction of a couple thousands of a second, he probably got lucky but it still was after the reds went out. So how about using clutch release telemetry or wheel speed sensors data and compare that to exactly when they shut the lights? If that difference is anywhere under 0.000, you jumped. It would still be incredibly hard to judge while not allowing any form of movement before the lights are actually out.

I understood that the first time yeah. And I think you agree with me since you edited your comment to further explain your idea. I'm not contradicting your argument, I agree with it and appreciate that you addressed my criticism. I think it's a hot enough topic to warrant being a bit less open to interpretation, especially in text form.

Kinda dismisses the real criticism people have with guns yeah. They are not advocating against them simply because "they look scary".

Brings back memories. H22 swapped EG and EK's were the "cheaper" way to pump over 200hp back in 2007-08 where I live. That was in the times when we started to get JDM TypeR engines but those were often more expensive than the car they were put in. So many people either went the B20 Frankenstein version (CR-V block with GSR head mostly) or H22 since these were domestic and almost half price from ITR or CTR drive trains. I remember seeing ONE K swapped civic, they were unicorn rare in those days.

Gotcha, last sentence sounded a little bit pro-gun though hence my response. I still think the ease of access is the main issue, by far. I would probably be dead if I was american as I could've easily got a cheap 9mm to off myself during the worse times. It was easier to reach out than to buy a glock and I seriously think it saved my life.

Why not both?

They were too busy giving 10 sec penalties to Magnussen for actual racing. Ok maybe the Albon pinch was penalty worthy but 10 seconds?

Content d'apprendre que tu es maintenant sur un bon chemin. Selon mon expérience avec ce processus, tu devrais pouvoir rencontrer quelqu'un plus régulièrement et qui t'offriras du support plus personalisé. Je te souhaite bon courage et j'espère que l'avenir s'avèrera meilleur.

Yep, Max is fast enough to be a championship contender in either of the Top 4 teams right now, maybe top 5 considering what Alonso is doing in that Aston.

I also agree that RedBull would be stupid to not choose him over Horner. He absolutely destroyed 4 teammates with this team so far. You know, people that drive the same car, in the same team headed by the same people. The car sure is fast but this combination is all conquering and whatever you say Horner's maybe the fourth person responsible for that right now, and that's conservative.

To each their own. I actually like that a lot from Max. The sheer dedication and intensity and him never holding his punches is inspiring honestly. This guy is the embodiment of "if you ain't first, you're last" and it's honestly a sight to behold. There's plenty of (often fabricated or artififial) drama in F1 right now and I for one hate it. It takes so much attention out of the actual racing. It's also a bit ironic that Kimi was hailed as a hero with how he treated media and drama while Max gets so much criticism for the same thing. We are witnessing one of the greatest that ever did it, and he's still destroying everyone, just try to enjoy that instead of the fake AF media personalities most other drivers put on all the time. He's as real as it gets.

Thanks for replying. Funnily enough, I bought Bass Boomers three days ago because I couldn't find the roundcores anywhere. And while I do like the feel that you are describing, my A and G string are both dead after maybe 6 hours of playing only. Like crazily muted compared to the other two. I'm not impressed to be honest but I might still try a set of roundcores if I can find some somewhere else than on Amazon.

And maybe the issue with the DR was that HI-beams are stainless. In my exprerience those are just like you describe. That's why I was interested in the Sunbeams which are nickel. The roundcore part is also what I'm mostly interested in hearing about. But thanks anyway for your response.

If my copium is not having a memeish early conclusion after 1 race.

Go watch DTS then.

Bahrain last year was mostly better because we had Alonso magic. And the race wasn't great I wasn't saying that either. But I'm fucking tired of comment after comment after comment after comment after comment after comment after comment after comment after comment after posts of super high effort and creativity about how "seasons over" since the first day of testing. Everybody was expecting Max on top he's just dominant. But the midfield seem very tight, most teams seem to have stepped it up. All of the good stuff from last season happened in f1.5 anyway and this year looks like it's going to be even closer and involve more drivers.

If you only look at the winner after the fact, maybe.

No, thank you.

I did try those exact tortellinis and I can tell when they've been frozen vs straight from the pack. It's all in the texture not the taste. They get mushy as soon as they get hot enough even though I tend to undercook pasta because I like them very al dente. Totally edible but far, far worse than cooking fresh ones especially considering it's almost the same time and effort. But don't get me wrong I'm not arguing it's stupid and that nobody should do it. I know not everyone has the opportunity to just go across the street to get fresh ingredients on a daily basis and freezing is a fantastic mean of conservation. It's just a personal preference.

A bit early isn't it? I'm not doubting he'll be good but there hasn't been any racing in '24 yet.

Drone shots are cool but they kinda kill the sense of speed of the cars. One of the best shots I've seen in recent years was a static camera with a wide angle shot of the cars going through maggots and becketts. The speed which they carried and the neck breaking changes of direction was an incredible sight. Similar was the ground camera looking up at eau rouge/raidillion. If you match the speed it's hard to truly appreciate how fast these cars really are in comparison with other series.

I'm honestly not. I've heard the captain obvious part sporadically, but never seen "have a rock".

Ya it's only been 20 years.

Never heard this expression in my life

Yeah and I'm again asking to explain it because to me it sounded like you asked me to take my meds.

Mine is currently working fine and without a hitch and has been for a while now since the failed attempts at punishing adblockers. I can't vouch for everyone, but you may be right about your account being flagged for some reason.

What does '"take your rock" suppose to mean then?

What do you mean? Because it's a valid explanation. It's near impossible to fake a perfectly clear and high res, well focused image or video without showing artifacts of image manipulation. I do agree that a lot of those are taken in by amateurs on questionable gear, but I've yet to see a compelling video that cannot be debunked. And in the case of the navy or whatever army branch supposed sightings, I think those leave us with two options since they are so secretive on the subject ; it's purposefully deceptive or it's fabricated by third parties without consent. I want to believe but nothing ever comes out of those sightings so it's very hard to be impartial.

Cause they're fake.

That's what makes it so funny. He always seem to put the spotlight on how absurd this whole thing is. It's only gotten better since the influx of clueless "celebrities".

I'd say generally any pasta or rice or veg will turn to paste if frozen. You kinda also lose any flavor apart from salty and sweet. But don't misunderstand me, it's fine and a very good way to conserve meals but you will lose most of the magic, the ice feels like it's breaking everything down.
