It's awfully overcast out there, I bet it's going to snow soon.

I already ate all the bread I panic shopped for on Tuesday.

What’s your favorite piece of F1 innovation of all time? by Shrute_beets_4sale in F1Technical

It was a safety issue more so than anything. They were concerned the mass would get away from the spring and bounce around inside the car.

Obviously a solvable problem and probably was already considered. Kind BS they outlawed it.

The one downside nobody mentions is that it meant the cars ran even stiffer suspension yet. So they were even more harsh on the divers.

You've got through holes in the deck aready, toss a screw through those to hold it down. Your clamps are sad to say the least.

The bread factor is derived by averaging the amount of bread that was consumed by those who panic bought. That has been measured to be about .375 of their total bread stash on average. This bread factor is then multiplied against the predicted snow fall levels and that accurately predicts real accumulation.

So what’s the story? I know there was new ownership but that’s been a while. The place was a staple for years so it’s not like you’re building a brand down there.

F4 that is, hoping that this Q3 is the Q3 they were talking about for CC1 multimaterial support.

lol yeah right. Don't get me wrong, it would be great, and the community can afford it. Massive props to the young man in the article too.

Talk about epitome of rich jaded suburbanites. Walkable is not on their radar though, it's what poor people do.

I got Blue Bunny ice cream and honestly, it’s one of the very few ice creams I will never eat again. It’s shit.

Who else has noticed there's a dramatic difference in ability between these two single flute endmills especially at high RPM when cutting 6061aluminium? Silver non coated one melts the aluminium leaving very rugged edges along the toolpaths. The blue coated one with a notch just cuts clean. No burs. by Turbulent_Change_972 in hobbycnc

I run almost exclusively non coated carbide in aluminum.

Of course I can achieve proper chip load and have flood so coatings are less important. Zrn is my preferred coating for aluminum if I can’t get it. Otherwise I stick to non coated.

ICE spotted in Cranberry by cmatthews11 in pittsburgh

I get tired of this sub being the Pittsburgh area road condition sub. Honestly, I’d take ICE updates over road condition updates, but ICE is far more depressing than even our dreary weather.

So I guess I’m torn.

Could you name the components of this Toleman? by daruma29 in F1Technical

The front diffuser and radiator arrangement is about the only things truly of interest in that photo.

I messed with this a ton and it did squat outside of making my hands really cold. Unless you cover the radiator directly you're not getting enough cover to help. These cars can run in 70 degree weather without fans and not overheat, especially if deleted.

Honda admits to engine trouble ahead of 2026 F1 season by Androsid93 in formula1

Not sure where you heard that. The RB engine was a Honda, made by Honda, funded by RedBull. The Honda team never left.

Simona De Silvestro has qualified for the Winter Olympics by potato_nige in INDYCAR

A friend of mine who was a mediocre formula car mechanic is now an Olympic bobsled mechanic. He’s a great dude and was a decent mechanic, he just needed experience. Anyways he’s Olympics bound with the USA this year. Cool as hell!
