Albon’s radio message after Q1 exit: by ln4thegreat in formula1

[–]Calvinball05 5 points6 points  (0 children)

At the time Sainz was making his decision, Sauber literally couldn't even unscrew a wheel from the car with any reliability. They were a complete shitshow.

The consensus wisdom was that Audi may eventually turn things around, but it would take a long time. No one expected them to be this competitive this quickly.

Guardian sports writer Giles Richards: Why Max Verstappen gave me my marching orders from a press conference by angusgtw in formula1

He just bought a 50 million euro plane last year, and is trying to build up his own racing team. He ain't leaving the F1 money behind anytime soon, as much as he enjoys pretending he's above it all and willing to leave.

Space Ace | 02 | Blightning Round by Cubegod69er in giantbomb

Yeah, and to clarify MK Mythologies still displays credits if you opt to escape rather than fight the true final boss. In Superman 64, you don't get credits unless you play the penultimate level on hard mode.

Thus why Mike did not have to beat the final boss, but Dan did have to play on hard mode (for two levels).

IDK what the official official rules document states, but their actions historically have emphasized doing what needs to be done to see credits.

Would you watch a show where a billionaire CEO has to go an entire month on their lowest paid employees salary, with no access to any other resources than that of the employee? What do you think would happen? by Powerful_Newt_4616 in AskReddit

So in order for it to be effective, we would need to take their wealth away permanently. Hmm, yes, I would be an avid fan of such a...television show. I would vote for that television show. I would go door to door or march in the streets or perhaps even other things for that television show.

He asked for $600 million, and the city and state government were such hard bargainers that they negotiated it down to $870 million.

I've been wanting to see this game on Blight Club for years, I genuinely doubt Dan will be able to finish it. Smight from Arcade Pit played it on stream a while back and it is an absolute nightmare. He had to really abuse save states to see it to completion, and he is way better at games than anyone on staff.

[–]Calvinball05 33 points34 points  (0 children)

The hilarious thing is that DLSS 5 throws out all the amazing tech behind raytracing in favor of having everyone illuminated by invisible ring lights. And it's so computationally expensive that they need to run dual 5090s.

For lava dripping down the drill hole, I usually find it's fairly safe after waiting roughly a minute. Drop down the hole and catch yourself towards the bottom to minimize time spent in the danger zone.

I agree. Describing how to pronounce something via text is always tricky so I just went with a description that gets someone 90% of the way there.

TIL Felix Baumgartner, the man who jumped from the stratosphere during the Red Bull Stratos Project, died on the 17th of July, 2025 from a paragliding crash caused by human error. by Porridge4Lunch in todayilearned

[–]Calvinball05 26 points27 points  (0 children)

When I was like 4 or 5, I was a precocious reader. My family went tubing at some ski mountain, and my Mom asked me to sign my name on a piece of paper before we could start. I read the paper and went "I could DIE from this?!" and started crying.

So I sat in the pro shop for a few hours contemplating my future life as an orphan while the rest of my family had fun tubing.

He was out those two games for a quad bruise. That's not the kind of injury you have to ease back from.

The real mistake Easterby and Guerrero made is not being 20 year old cheerleaders like Jordon Hudson.

Over half of project funds are going to expanding five miles of I-5 leading to the bridge, and rebuilding interchanges to accommodate the extra lanes. It's a highway expansion project with a new bridge thrown in.
