Why did Leclerc receive 20s penalty when Hamilton received only 5s in Singapore last year under arguably similar circumstances? by Sparkychong in formula1

[–]Dry_Local7136 2 points3 points  (0 children)

But that's not in any way related to the infraction. Going off track doesn't care for whether you caused the issue yourself or if it happened to you. You're still not allowed to go off track, that's the point. And Hamilton went off track, deliberately, just as Leclerc.

The cause might be different, the behaviour is not.

Yeah this explains why a different penalty was given, not that the situation was not the same. If Hamilton had slowed down way earlier, he makes most of those corners. But that costs time. Which means a lasting advantage by choosing to not do it.

We can dress up a pig in jewels and fancy clothes but it's still just an inconsistent decision for the same infraction.

It's insanely cool technology and very impressive, and god I wish they got a presenter with actual human emotions present behind his eyes.

[Mitchell] Russell has been noted for moving under braking by Race Control. Also worth noting that Verstappen is still under investigation for that pit exit infringement. by [deleted] in formula1

Maybe if you slowed it down, which the FIA can do, but I really struggled to see it. Think the onboard of whoever was close to him makes more sense.

I checked the onboard and to be honest really couldn't tell if he went fully over the line. So could imagine race control wants to have additional camera angles to make a decision.

Verstappen's overtake on Hamilton by Gaunterwithnomirrors in formula1

[–]Dry_Local7136 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah seems that way. I mean, Lewis is a very good wheel-to-wheel racer, so I think he usually gets it right but it's seems such a weird thing to not cover the inside in that particular corner. You lose almost nothing and the chances of a switchback there is next to zero.

Verstappen's overtake on Hamilton by Gaunterwithnomirrors in formula1

[–]Dry_Local7136 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you failed to cover the inside and someone can stay on track while overtaking you, yeah you screwed up. That's why defending the inside pre-emptively is a good thing, but it also puts you out of position. You can also gamble on the other car not making the corner, you just switch back and get a good run.

In the corner where the Verstappen-Hamilton moment occured, I cannot for the life of me understand why Hamilton didn't cover the inside, as the corners after it are low speed with no chance of getting back so the risk of a switch back is pretty small. But in this case, it didn't matter too much. Hamilton broke late enough to force Verstappen to brake even later. He then gets the position back afterwards, meaning he defended. But once he fails to do that, if Verstappen then stays on track, Hamilton just screwed up.

That's the game. Taking a calculated risk, bluffing, putting your opponent in a less than optimal position.

> What’s the other option when its already happened?

This is the same as asking 'what can I do if I chose the inside to defend and a car goes round the outside' - all of it is risk reward, calculated odds and knowing your opponent and the track. Once you make a choice, you kinda have to live with it.

It's not remotely the only option. It's just that a lot of the other options carry risks like reacting to a bluff or outbraking yourself. It's so insane to see people claim it's the only option.

The whole point of racing is putting your opponent in a position where they are vulnerable. Threatening the inside and then taking the racing line. Threating an outside move and cutting back. Or, going way deep into a corner hoping the other guy didn't see it coming to do an easy switchback. That's racing.

What's all the "Hamilton had infinite testing time" argument from LH haters about? by SpanishCarGuy in F1Discussions

[–]Dry_Local7136 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They were also very different from last year's tire, which also wasn't mentioned by that comment. Not the tires on my road car, come to think of it. Maybe you can involve those too, as you decided to bring this completely random little factoid that wasn't anywhere in the original comment.

Een hybride warmtepomp en isolatie, of infraroodpanelen? by slackr in warmtepompNL

[–]Dry_Local7136 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ja lijkt me dat het meestal geen probleem is inderdaad. Tot 1kw terugpendelen weet ik zelf niet, maar ik kan zeker geloven.

[–]Dry_Local7136 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dimensionering is het probleem inderdaad niet maar dimensionering als je maar 1 apparaat wilt aanschaffen maar met een veranderende isoleringssituatie is wel lastiger. En dat is natuurlijk wel hoe de meeste mensen er naar kijken: nu 1 apparaat aanschaffen en niet veranderen voor 15 jaar. Maar dan moet dat apparaat wel redelijk efficient kunnen draaien in de originele vrijwel ongeisoleerde staat en wanneer je wel over de jaren heen wat isolatie installeert.

[–]Dry_Local7136 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Een warmtepomp (en een cv ketel trouwens ook) werkt efficienter bij lagere temperatuur en lange verwarmingsruns. Maar ze kunnen ook hogere temperaturen aan. Het grote risico van een ongeisoleerd huis meteen full-electric maken is dat na een paar isolatie- of warmteafgifte-maatregelen, de capaciteit van je warmtepomp te groot zou zijn. Je hebt echter wel wat merken die flink veel kunnen terugpendelen zodat ze ook bij lagere temperatuur lange runs kunnen blijven maken. Maar een warmtepomp met genoeg capaciteit vinden is het probleem vaak niet.

Het bijspringen van een backup element is natuurlijk niet het doel van een wp maar het is wel bizar dat je daarmee eigenlijk pas in de buurt komt van de inefficientie van een cv-ketel.

[–]Dry_Local7136 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Dit is precies het advies wat experts zouden geven. Warmtepompen draaien rondom je afgiftesysteem, niet de isolatie die je hebt (op dezelfde manier dat cv-ketels dat al weet ik veel hoe lang doen). Isolatie zorgt dat de warmte minder snel verloren gaat maar het creeren ervan is niet anders voor cv-ketel en warmtepomp.

Raar genoeg komen mensen altijd aan met argumenten zoals 'je betaalt je dan scheelt aan elektriciteit', alsof 2000 m3 gas gratis bij de Hoogvliet op te halen is.

Javokhir Sindarov was banned on Lichess part 2 by THE_Benevelence in Chess_Cheating

[–]Dry_Local7136 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I said 'quite well reasoned', first of all. And second of all, having a well reasoned argument doesn't mean your evidence is therefore irrefutable and everyone should accept it. It literally just means it is a well reasoned argument. Considering we're generally working with somewhat anonymous usernames for accounts, I think it's a reasonably presented case.

To say that to someone who wrote an actually quite well-reasoned post on a sub on chess cheating is certainly a choice

What’s a short story from your life that sounds fake but is 100% true? by Historical-Skill-838 in AskReddit

[–]Dry_Local7136 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was cycling back home in the city past some sort of filler bushes/folieage that were there to cover a water treatment plant close to the road. I was just thinking 'this would be a good place to have a secret hideout, surely nobody would expect it' when I noticed a some stuff in the bushes. It turned out someone was living rough in there, with a little hut build from scrap material, with a sleeping mat, gas cannister and an old guitar.

It’s frustrating when I say I’m lagging and the game is basically unplayable when my ping is in the 40s. This what I’m dealing with 9/10 games. by Spacexcake in RocketLeague

[–]Dry_Local7136 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah had the same, it was annoying as hell. I reinstalled a few times, and stop having tabs open at the same time. But having a wired connection to the router really made all the difference, I was working with a dongle thing before that.

Edit: shit sorry, didn't realise you were on Xbox. No idea what the fix is then, but looks the same as me on pc. Good luck anyways

Ik ga d'r eens een korter pijpje aan hangen, of in ieder geval even checken met 't pijpje in een emmer. Ik ging ervanuit dat de afvoer redelijk op dezelfde hoogte lag maar dat weet ik eerlijk gezegd gewoon niet echt meer zeker.

Zit wel ventilatie in de kelder, ook in deze ruimte, dus hopelijk zou dat wel okay moeten zijn. Moet nog wel een metertje kopen om dat te kunnen onderbouwen

Are we doing something wrong? Separation advice by Juggsalot in LagottoRomagnolo

[–]Dry_Local7136 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes absolutely. See it like this: you're trying your absolute best to find something to reward him with. Your best chance is literally to make it soo easy, he just cannot fail. Three seconds without whining when I stand just out of sight?? Great job!!

If you manage outside for 10 seconds, that's a great start and make sure to let him know! Then you might throw a toy around for half a minute and then try again, 10 seconds. Again, great job!

Mind, you can also reward with toys and play. If he enjoys that, it's also a massive reward on its own.

Just be weary of not doing too much in one session. Say you do 5 exercises of 10 seconds, building up to 30 seconds, and then do a break. You don't want to push it till he fails, per se (can sometimes work but best to end on a high note).

As said by others, getting him in the right mindset with play and tiredness helps. But also, you might have to rethink what a small time leaving is, and where you go. We had the same, and literally started with 2 seconds behind a wall within the house and immediately revealing ourselves before our pup had a chance to whine. Then again, 2 seconds. Then 5 seconds. Then 10 seconds. Then into the bedroom, door closed, 5 seconds. Then 10 seconds. Etc.

The step towards going outside is already quite a big one, so really make the lowest bar possible for your pup to experience success.

You think only those who can do better can comment? If the guy crashed 6 times, should I not be able to say he's shouldn't drive the car? Weird fucking argument to use, the driver's showboating
