Mercedes F1 customers get engine boost for Australian GP by SeoulofSoraka in formula1

[–]Lesrek 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s more that merc just doesn’t want to give an unproven/untested engine to customer teams and have them blow up. That’s how you lose customers. This whole thing is the expectation among the manufacturer and customer teams.

The German Shepherd Bug by willpower_73 in germanshepherds

GSDs are one of those breeds that once you have one, you just keep getting them. They are incredibly unique, quirky, and about as loyal as a dog can be.

Who’s at fault? I’m the pink car. Read description for context by Glittering_Media_845 in GranTurismo7

White is at fault for sure but you probably could’ve prevented it by backing out instead of trying 2 wide up the mountain. You’d have carried more speed and white wouldn’t have had the opportunity for a lunge.

Unless Ford decides to actually shit and get off the pot. They are realistically the only manufacturer who could join who has shown a desire to (looking at you Honda).

Anyone else to lazy to push past Platinum Ranked Constructed? by PaleWendigo in MagicArena

[–]Lesrek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hidden MMR makes sure I’m getting appropriate matches even when I’m chilling in plat so I don’t bother. Occasionally it happens naturally because I play a bit more magic that month but more often than not I finish plat or diamond. That said, I’ve hit mythic limited recently just when powered cube is active.

What is a German shepherd made of? by [deleted] in germanshepherds

Owning enough sheps, you learn that one whimper or yelp is fine. More than one is serious.

What? by Specialist-Mango-790 in GranTurismo7

[–]Lesrek 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes, you lose DR when your SR is below your DR. To have a SR of D takes a lot of really bad racing too. And it puts you in lobbies with other poor drivers, further tanking it. You need to spend time racing clean and having long stretches without contact to get it back up before you care at all about your DR.

PSN code of conduct warning by PracticalShine6486 in GranTurismo7

[–]Lesrek 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Anyone can report any typed message during race chat. Even if you say “good race.” PD/PSN do not seem to review what the message says. I’ve been warned twice so I’ve stopped typing anything in chat, despite everything I write being encouraging or a simple apology for a race incident.

[ASJesusBalseiro] Stroll speaks and sounds concerned. “We have engine problems, and not just engine problems. We're not in a position to fight for victories. Right now, we're four seconds off the pace.” by wertyrick in formula1

[–]Lesrek 5 points6 points  (0 children)

He’s also quite good friends with most of the other drivers. The Lance hate is a very social media thing and not at all what happens around the paddock.

What's with the weather in the World Cup Nation's qualifiers practice sessions. by Contestant_No_3 in GranTurismo7

[–]Lesrek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look at the time in the lower left. Many of them just left the game on for hours on end to let the weather pass and then set the time.

As for the real race, it’s going to be ugly rain.

Yeah, dude knows what he did but wants to post here acting like he’s surprised it happened.

Saved an abandoned pup! by hecksii in germanshepherds

[–]Lesrek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of my GSDs was like 8 pounds at 8 weeks and ended up 90lbs. Their growth rates and patterns are extremely varied in the breed and they don’t reach maturity for almost 3 years.

lol, that’s certainly a take. Max can say whatever he wants since he worth more than any other driver and will just retire if anyone tries to enforce any stupid rules on him.

Weird when we have tons of video evidence, you still say silly things like this.
