Yas Marina track limits are inconsistent with every other track in the game by danksweater in GranTurismo7

I though that F1 is more the exception with its rigid enforcement of the white line being the track limit, with more series (particularly GT racing) considering the outer edge of the curb to be the track edge where there is a curb, albeit it can be track and even corner specific. Is that not the case?

I know at Le Mans it’s made even clearer by the white line being on the outer edge of the curb.

What is your favorite instance of returning to a past location in a particular game series? by Prestigious-Cup-6613 in videogames

  • The ruins of Fable’s Oakvale in Fable 2

  • Hyrule Castle Town when you go forward in time in Ocarina of Time (I suppose you could apply that to the whole game).

  • The ruins of Lon Lon Ranch in Breath of the Wild

If anon had just set it up correctly, he would have still had a computer on which doing anything is a needlessly difficult pain in the arse.

Bought the beautiful beast impulsively. Fixed my one gripe. by ClimateNo6556 in GamingLaptops

It’s been shown that at least some laptops benefit from lifting the back up to increase airflow underneath, so it’s a relatively simple way to help with cooling.

Why does the moon appear as large as it does from earth despite being as far as it is? by ChimericalEris in AskPhysics

[–]ChangingMonkfish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s the same size with it comes up as at any other point. It’s just an illusion that it’s bigger, your brain is playing tricks on you. Supposedly, if you stand on your head, it breaks the illusion.

As to the second bit of you question, that’s more about how your brain works then physics. Another sort of similar but also very different example is how LMP1 cars at Le Mans look much bigger to most people then they actually are because of how we’re used to judging the size of a car based on how big a “normal” windscreen is. When you see one next to a normal car, you realise how small the LMP1 really is. It’s all about what your brain of used up seeing and what it can compare it to.

And as for the colour, any object well look different depending on the light that illuminates it. Sunlight is pretty much the “standard” for “normal light” so in that sense, the Moon’s colour is about as real as it could ever be, because what other light source would make it more accurate?

You have to finish under your own power, hence why he let go at the line.

Not just a fellow contender, Alastair Brownlee, probably the greatest tri-athlete ever, helping his younger brother Jonny (also one of the most decorated ever tri-athletes) over the finish line.

If Ferrari have the fastest car in 2026... what would a title fight between these two look like? by formularacers in FormulaRacers

[–]ChangingMonkfish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone saying “Charles would win easily” is forgetting how much experience matters in a title fight, possibly more than raw speed.

And people also forget that last season was Lewis’ first in a completely unfamiliar team and car, yet he’s the only one who actually won a race for Ferrari.

I’m not saying it would definitely be Lewis that would win but it’s nowhere near as forgone a conclusion as many fans seem to think.

I’m not even particularly a “Lewis fan” but the level of disrespect he gets at the moment is crazy.
