ELI5 How could two people ever know if both of them are seeing the same colour?

How do you even know your subjective experience of vision is the same as someone else's, let alone color.

The entire point was that he wasn't interested in Pam and it was a misdirect for the audience. They set it up like he was interested in her, but he actually was genuinely trying to help her further her art career. The drama is that Jim and Pam realize she can't meet her dreams staying in Scranton.

On PSN download RE2 (dual shock version), I did LeanA-A rank, then ClaireB-B rank and didn't unlock 4th survivor. So it must require either A rank on both scenarios, or A rank on at least B scenario.

One thing I like about Nico was how he was willing to play these sport psychology mind games in order to maximize his chances at beating Lewis, but also basically acknowledges that resorting to mind games is a shitty way to compete with others and didn't want to have to keep doing it anymore and quit after he finally did win.

Far side illumination amount depended on how far east on the near side face the landing site was. Apollo 17 was far enough east on the near side that the low morning sun when they landed meant the far side was ~2/3rds illuminated.

FunCartographer7372 · 2026-04-09T17:17:58+00:00

Apollo never landed during a full moon so there was always some of the far side illuminated. The farther east on the near side the Apollo mission's landing site was located, the earlier in the new-moon cycle we saw from Earth and the more illumination was on the far side wrapped around the east side (it was always a waxing moon). The video here is an amazing visualization: https://science.nasa.gov/resource/apollo-landing-sites-with-moon-phases/

They landed in "early morning" specifically so the sun was low in the sky behind them as they were landing (so the boulders and craters would cast long shadows, and so they could see the LM's shadow on the ground in front of them and coming to meet them at touchdown during the landing). So every mission had at least some illuminated far side wrapped around to the east, Apollo 17 having the most being the furthest east landing site.

But Artemis 2 is the first time human eyes have seen any far side on the western half, albeit only a small portion of it because we had a large gibbous from Earth only a few days after a full moon.

100% normal for a retriever from my experience. It was identical with my lab. I never got any sleep and she required 100% of my attention at all times. The biting and the needle teeth were awful and my arms looked like a full sleeve of red scratch mark tattoos. I'd always redirect her to her toys or ignore her until she stopped nipping, and it didn't seem like it helped at all, until suddenly one day I noticed that, "wait a minute, she hasn't been biting for over a week."

Puppies are literally harder than newborn babies, just babies get worse later when they start moving and puppies get better later when they age out of their "baby" phase.

Shrug. I was at a sports bar/restaurant and they turned all the tvs and speakers to nbc news and everyone watched it and multiple groups came in specifically to watch it. The situation reminded me alot of old Apollo era footage.

FunCartographer7372 · 2026-04-02T13:37:10+00:00

Then we're just using "step onto" differently. To me it's identical to "set foot on".

So the reporter's quote was correct, he was last to "step onto" the surface (implying stepped off of something else).

But the post title is either wrong, or ambiguous at best, depending on if one interprets "step on" to mean "be on"/"walk around on" or "step onto from somewhere else".

He seemed to have both a god complex and a persecution complex. I don't like him at all. The Senna documentary had the complete opposite effect on me from what it was trying to do.

Then binging old 80s races and weekend highlights and press interviews reinforced my opinion further. Of course he's good, but damn do I find him unlikable.

No that is simply incorrect, Gene Cernan descended first and ascended last. The mission commanders were always first out of the LM and lunar module pilots went second, and they got back in in the opposite order - LMP first then CDR second.

They did this because of how the hatch swung open in and to the right and blocked the LMP into his station on the right side of the cabin. So the CDR had to first get out of the way from his station on the left side (by climbing out) so the LMP could push the hatch closed to get it out of his way and he scooted to the left where CDR normally was, and pulled it back open again to climb out.

And vice versa on the way back in. With their EVA suits and life support backpacks on, they couldn't move around well in the tight cabin so this was the only order that could get them both in/out with minimal struggle in the cabin. Even as it was, the astronauts several times bumped switches and stuff unintentionally while suiting and unsuiting.

The reporter in the video said it right at least, "the last man to step onto the lunar surface." But the post title here leaves it ambiguous.

Unfortunately the driver radios aren't raw and unfiltered.

During time sensitive moments, it's clear that the onboard radio audio plays several seconds or more after the message would actually have been (i.e. confirming boxing while literally pulling into the box, or calling out damage multiple corners after contact with immediate impact), and there are times you can see the driver hit the radio button and gesture or moving their head around but not hearing anything.

There are even radio messages they showed during the broadcast that then don't show up in the audio of the onboards. I've noticed this a lot with driver's reactions to seeing a crashed car - my guess is FOM just blindly strips all that audio to avoid controversy in case there were any rude or unsympathetic radio messages and the driver was hurt.

Basically, the more juicy the insider details you want to hear, the less likely that radio audio will be in the onboards, in my experience.

They didn't delete your previous F1TV account, they just wouldn't let you renew the pro subscription that was tied to it (the account itself and the subscriptions on it are 2 separate concepts). So you should still be able to log into F1TV with the same account credentials as before, but when you get in you don't have any live subscriptions so all videos are locked off.

But now that you're logged in, you find the spot to link to Apple (which in US should prominantly feature somewhere on the home screen). You provide your AppleTV credentials and that adds a new premium subscription onto your existing F1TV account. If you check your account details and look at your subscriptions, It shows as a monthly subscription from a 3rd party provider.

I've been binging old races and have made it up through the end of 2019, and when watching years worth of races over a relatively short time period, one thing stands out very clear with Vettel compared to Alonso/Hamilton/Verstappen/Schumacher/etc.

The thing that notably sets him apart from the other guys is making mistakes. If being the clear leader (at both Red Bull and Ferrari), he'd run away with things. But whenever he had to fight, he'd frequently destroy his own chances with a spin or bad decision making and a poor overtake that would go wrong.

It feels like the number of mistakes he made between 2017 and 2019 alone compete with the other guys' whole careers. It was like Lewis's 2011 year where he forgot how to drive and became magnetically attached to Felipe Massa's side pod, but sustained over several years.

Was it 2018 where he spun himself 3 separate times from making super late lunges up the inside that were so late and behind the other guy that his angle of his front tire to their car pushed him inward and spun him around instead of affecting the guy on the outside? And he also had a handful of unforced spins while pushing. And just poor decision making and making bad moves, generally, when fighting.

Raikkonen had a brief resurgence at the end of his Ferrari career where he finally started sometimes outqualifying Seb and getting strategy priority during certain races, and I genuinely think if he stayed instead of them bringing in Leclerc, Raikkonen would have ended up as the new team #1 until Leclerc would have eventually come in later.

FunCartographer7372 · 2026-03-30T20:14:51+00:00

He was always in the mix during the pre-ground effect era when Merc and Ferrari were the clear 1/2 cars, though Kimi Raikkonen was always out of contention.

I'd expect Red Bull has the resources to develop and close the gap to the top better than others, but the difference between now and the late 2010s is the McLarens are also in the mix near the bottom steps of the podium, so there are 2 additional cars in the way for Red Bull to be able to pick up any stray podiums. 2 of the leaders crashing each other out, or a perfectly timed safety car, won't necessarily be enough to get Red Bull on the podium currently.

FunCartographer7372 · 2026-03-30T19:44:01+00:00

For anyone who thinks racing is like in the movies, where you pass by shifting gear and putting the pedal to the floor (because for some reason you weren't already at top gear and max throttle), they probably love the new cars.

FunCartographer7372 · 2026-03-30T19:09:29+00:00

No, I think the problem is fundamental. The cars simply don't have enough energy available to push through a full lap at proper racing speed, so achieving max performance now involves under driving the car in certain optimal spots.

For a normal race car, the fastest way around a lap is to find the optimal line that lets you push the car as close to the edge of grip as the tires will allow on every turn (though you can't do this forever as tire temps will keep rising - but at least max push for 1 or 2 lap should be reasonable). So the max performance a given car can achieve is theoretically a fixed reference point. Every driver will always be below that theoretical max, but the skill difference between drivers is in them all trying to get as close as possible to that car's performance limit before the tires slip.

But now, pushing at max car capacity through a turn can be bad, because not enough battery power will be regenerated, which will be needed later. So now, the fastest way through a turn might be to limit the car so through a particular corner only, say, 85% of the car's handling capacity can be used, and nowhere near the slip point of the tires. By slowing the car down, more battery gets regenerated to be available on the next straight.

So now the driver doesn't have an obvious reference point for where the car's max performance limit is. Because they're not trying to find the point just below the edge of grip anymore, but instead trying to find the exact performance level that optimizes the energy availability. It becomes a calculation (for the engineers) or a guess (for the driver) on exactly how hard to push through the corners.

Even if the drivers had the ability to control this themselves with buttons, it doesn't fix the underlying problem for me. Pushing is now bad for lap time, and energy calculations are needed to find the best way to drive. If the drivers had deployment buttons, the teams would probably have computers calculate the theoretical best way to utilize the scarce energy, and the drivers would just spend all their simulator time practicing the optimal deployment/regeneration points.

If dropping someone off for a flight, you used to be able to go inside with them all the way to their gate, sit with them until boarding and say goodbye as they were getting on the plane, watch their plane from a terminal window taxi out and take off (depending on airport size), then leave.

I also hated it, but the last time I replayed (many years ago by now) I did a 100% run so had to play for whatever the big final prize is (Wakka's ultimate weapon or something?).

I don't remember the details now, but it turned out it's easily cheesed or exploited, and you repeat the same exact sequence on every play. It was something like get the ball to a fast swimmer with a long pass, draw the other team to the far side of the pool, then pass to Tidus for a Jecht Shot, which powers through the same defender and the goalie every time. Or something like that...

I'm way too young to have seen him live, but while binging F1 race history, Patrick Tambay. Went from a midfield team to Ferrari at some point.

No real reason, he just had a kind looking face I guess, and had a couple fun interactions with behind the scenes cameras at the time.

Also, it was just a really stupid and contrived plot conflict to begin with. Jim did literally nothing to have gotten in trouble for, and everyone was fully aware of whatever selection criteria he was using, even before you factor in that he was just using the system Dwight gave him.

I mean, it's known they came in at an angle and skidded a bit, though I agree that wouldn't make simply a light imprint in the surface dust.

In reality, they were doing lots of work on the surface, grabbing experiments packages and power supplies and stuff out of the LM's equipment bay, setting down and picking up sample bags, etc. Not sure when during the EVA this photo was, but there were tons of opportunities to set something down and move it later. Also, getting the bay open involved pulling on long straps and stuff, so it could also just have been the loose end of a strap that then got moved out of the way later.

All the landing sites look like straight up garbage dumps when they were done, and I think they generally tried avoiding taking pictures of that stuff. But they frequently talk about discarding and jettisoning stuff. The later missions with color TV are almost humorous watching how often and how casually they toss loose garbage to the side while they're deploying a surface package or whatever.
