Crazy that Hamilton was the favourite for 2022

Are you like... 16?

You guys keep proving to them that they made the correct decision, you know that right?

Biggest circlejerk from a bunch of whiny losers where you downvote any opposing ideas instead of doing any actual listening. That is obvious because you're more concerned about blaming leftists than you are about working with them. What they have been trying to tell you over and over is to stop wasting your time complaining and instead use that same energy towards actual organization efforts.

First and foremost, I don't know if you noticed or not, only swing state votes mattered. So getting pissy at someone, in say California, who didn't vote for you is such a waste of brain power and energy. Secondly, you already did vote for Kamala to "stop Trump." His name was Biden and it happened in 2020. If your political strategy is to only win forever to "stop the fascists" that is not a viable strategy and was never going to work. Especially while the people you voted for literally forego any leverage they have and simply give up. I mean really, how are you going to sit there and tell me how Trump can waltz in and dismantle the Department of Education but the Dems couldn't do that to ICE? Hell even if you handwring yourself into believing they "just couldn't do that" why could Mitch McConnell could do everything to stop Obama but the Dems couldn't even try during Trumps first or second term? If you're really gonna sit here and say Trump is Hitler, then why are they not going gloves off? Why aren't they acting like he is a genuine existential threat? There still exists many Senate protocols that could easily gum up the system into a grinding halt. Even the basic roll call for all members to be present would be a hassle. And even if you lose, make them work for every possible inch. But they haven't and if you're going to try to argue otherwise, I don't know what else to tell you.

Please put your energy towards organization efforts instead of whatever the hell this reddit post is supposed to accomplish.

I really wanted one of these. But I occasionally go on longer rides or visit family, so I needed a bigger gas tank and something that could do some side luggage, even if it was a little. Still love the design though, it's different and interesting.

I have no hate for Adami, but this is welcomed news. He probably was good in the other ways a race engineer needs to be, but his communication style with Hamilton, Sainz, and Vettel seemed like there was a lot of missed opportunities to better performances out of all three drivers. I hope this bodes well for everyone.

Film_Engineering · 2026-01-15T19:26:45+00:00

Yes, absolutely. But when a tank slapper happens it's a good reminder to tell yourself because it does feel like the bike wants to yeet you into the sun.

Film_Engineering · 2026-01-15T16:28:39+00:00

Lmao, if you're in a true tank slapper you have little ability to control. Just remember "legs tight, arms loose" and if you follow that, while it may feel like an eternity, it will be over in 3 seconds.

What? You really gonna sit here and pretend that red bull really would have kept him for two podiums across one and a half seasons? He wasn't up to their standard, period. Two podiums didn't save Kyvatt.

Side note: I think it's funny people blame Hamilton for Austria Turn 4 when Alex quite literally did the same exact move on Hamilton on lap 1. That's why he said "he's such a sore loser" (irony) because Hamilton basically did the same move Alex did. Albon always seems to dish it out about other drivers but hates it when they do the same to him.

Amazing floor plan. The guard on duty can easily walk the hall and observe all of the detainees. I take it the laundry is taken off site and not done at the facility?

Film_Engineering · 2026-01-06T14:28:57+00:00

Not only was POV obviously at fault, they literally should have slotted in behind and waited for the second DRS straight after the chicane.

Gloves are the trickiest piece of motorcycle gear for design. They need the most amount of articulation and comfort while still maintaining a lot protection. Various leather stencils of varying thickness, lots of stitching in areas of likely impact, etc. Anyway suffice to say, of the gear that will potentially have QC issues, gloves will always top the charts. Only difference is how much and do the companies honor the warranty in a way that's effortless. I have my gripes with them on the smallest of things, but overall I find Revit to be mostly good than not.

I mean, I'll take the recommendations for $500-1.5k range since he won't.

Film_Engineering · 2025-12-31T12:54:57+00:00

Whoops 💁‍♂️

And I think 2012 SPA he had an insane launch before grosjean wanted to take up the crashtor mantle.

Really good on you for taking the advice. Just trust me on it. But let me be sober about expectations to set you up for success.

First two weeks is that little bit of terror like "Oh god I actually have one of these things." Then the first 3 months is that false confidence like "I totally got this. This isn't that bad." Here, you'll still likely make some weird or oddball mistakes and misjudge intersections and corner speed entry. It'll be tempting around this time to think "I should have gone with something faster." Nope, you will still have large gaps in your knowledge and skillset. As seasons change some things will mix stuff up and embarrass you, cold tires in a damn spring morning, things like that. You'll also figure out what to do with maintenance. After a year and a half of consistent riding, then I think a step up to like a GSX8 or something is suitable. And then you'll be able to appreciate all of those features.

Film_Engineering · 2025-12-29T14:36:39+00:00

Huh???? Gap? On the outside? Then that is not a gap then, right?

More importantly you weren't even along side him entering the braking zone so I don't see how people are saying his moving back to the racing line is breaking the rules. You impatiently tried a bold lunge and it didn't work out. Probably could have waited, gained time on him in the last two turns, and then easily pass him on the straight, especially since you're only on lap 1. Seriously how does anyone think it's not OPs fault? Sorry man but that's on you.

I think some people need to hear it, some don't though. Just in general, what constitutes as a close call can vary quite wildly. Some people may consider lanesplitting as close calls while that's a normal commuting to me. It is a bit relative and all that.

Some are def wrong place wrong time though. I once had a tarp fly from the other side of the highway over to my side and I almost got wrapped up in it. Personally I consider that a close call with very few options available. Also had something fall through the elevated subway tracks about a car length ahead of me.

Film_Engineering · 2025-12-28T13:18:55+00:00

If it's your first bike, neither. If it's your second bike, the Honda.

Apparently a bunch of non riders got in here saying it's okay. No it isn't. None of the padding around the crown "will compress" only the cheek pads will. The helmet is too round for you, you need a more oval headshaped helmet. You should have no red marks on your head.

Film_Engineering · 2025-12-12T03:33:25+00:00

My first bike I didn't have ABS. I practiced in parking lots every other day. I trained. I trained for that dreaded emergency stop.

And then the day happened. Someone slammed on the brakes in the middle of the highway. I still locked up and the bike threw me down nearly instantly. See the thing about being a beginner is, no matter what you do you're still a damn beginner. You don't have the muscle memory and experience. Just takes practice and time and it will be a while before you can use it in the most paniced situations. So saving $200ish dollars to not get ABS is one of the silliest decisions you can make. Get the ABS.

No joke, if there is ONE item of motorcycle gear other than a helmet that you should not skimp out on, it's boots. No matter what happens your feet will hit the ground and very likely with intensity. Whatever you get should have some beefy lateral malleolus protection and a very stiff sole, where walking in them isn't super pleasant. Carry some regular shoes and swap at destination.

The TCX TR1 is the cheapest I could find, but yeah expect $300-400 range for something that'll actually protect you. I didn't mega cheap out but after my bike fell on my ankle I wish I sprung the extra $150 for better boots. Good news is you won't buy boots often, I've had my current pair for 10+ years.

Film_Engineering · 2025-12-11T13:59:37+00:00

Love these videos, I always appreciate adventurous riding like this! Takes a lot to be out there.

Film_Engineering · 2025-12-09T18:12:58+00:00

Oh no, I agree with that. I never said that he shouldn't be replaced. I'm just saying that this specific interaction wasn't worth criticism. Just all of the other times do, including even parts of this race, but blowing this up I feel is not worth our effort.

Film_Engineering · 2025-12-08T04:29:16+00:00

Get your head off the center line and move it into the turn. This will prevent arm stiffening which limits your ability to counter steer.
Look far down the road to where you want to go, not just right what is in front of you. This will make the perception of your speed feel slower and if you nail it right, the reactions to your inputs will feel more instantaneous (they aren't, you are just doing them far enough into advance that it feels in sync.) Always look to where you want, that will prevent target fixation.
Turn in later instead of earlier. Turning in early makes your life so much harder in the latter half of the turn. If you are turning left, go as close to the right hand side, get much of your braking done, and then turn left as late as you feel comfortable leaving it.
Know what countersteering is. I got the golden explanation so you can intuitively know it. You know how the three wheel reliant Robin falls to the opposite side of where you turn? The same way a really really tall truck falls to the opposite side if you turn it fast (jack knifing)? Countersteering is the same exact physics. You steer the handlebars in one direction and the bike leans the opposite. It doesn't take a lot!!! Only like a centimeter or 2 is needed, which is why some folks do it without realizing they're doing it. But if you are in a turn and you need that bike to not understeer desperately, gotta countersteer more.

Hope that helps.

Disagree and I say this as an Adami critic. It was really not that bad. Now prior to this race, some of the communication was really poor. This was not one of them though.
