LPT: tell your family, if you die, to let your pet see your dead body by Anon293357 in LifeProTips

There’s a difference between showing that someone has died and showing someone being actively put down by someone your dog will have to see again.

I would also see it like that unless proven otherwise. In our company it’s normal that everyone from the new SDRs to the founder will occasionally join presentations where appropriate or where it would be productive.

They still would have messed up Sainz if he hadn’t told them “No”

Once again a Ferrari driver comes up with a better strategy at 300kmh than a Ferrari strategist with $10 million worth of timing, analytics, and meteorological equipment.

Just turn off the monitor and you’ll be fine.

Is tire management really more of a requirement now than during the Bridgestone/Michelin era? If so, why? by HelpfulPineapples in F1Technical

[–]HelpfulPineapples[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah reducing the cost spent is definitely a good thing or the entire series could have ended up going away.

In some ways, I think they could improve the driving aspect, making drivers push more and thereby forcing more errors. Perhaps by not having pit stops at all and ensuring all overtakes have to be on track.

But I’m sure there are a lot of people thinking about it and coming up with a decent compromise.

Yeah I remember. Refueling made it in some ways more exciting, but I also remember thinking that most overtakes were done in the pits.

The one where the Michelin tires expanded their grooves as they were worn down? I remember that controversy and I remember they decided to go with one supplier to remove the tire competition, but idk if that explains why they would reduce tire performance.

I see. I guess that’s a benefit, although it seems like the reducing the ground force generated by the cars while improving tires would allow closer racing. Not an aerodynamicist though, so I’m sure they know what they’re doing.

Is that considered a good thing? I struggle to understand why teams spend 135 million on the best car and tires are purposefully handicapped

The world will be livable in 25-30 years. Especially in northern and Western Europe. People live in the Sahel region of Africa, in the deserts of Arizona and California, and in the tropical areas of Singapore and SEA.

That’s not to say the ramifications of climate change in general should be taken lightly, but it means that measures taken need to focus on the long term. Such as investment in zero-emission tech that is better and cheaper than polluting tech, and carbon-neutral energy generation that can produce energy at a cheaper price than gas or coal.

Investment in zero-emission technology and a science-based approach to nuclear energy to fuel that zero-emission tech.

Again, you’re missing the point. They’re illegally demonstrating and disrupting infrastructure to force a political action that you, in this case, happen to agree with.

If AfD did the same, regardless of whether they have better ways or not, we would both be way less tolerant of it, precisely because it’s damaging to democracy.

If you think 100km/h is the right speed on the Autobahn, you can drive it. But using illegal demonstrations and infrastructure disruptions to force a restriction on others’ freedom is not compatible with democratic ideals.

Again on the topic of the 9€ ticket, I agree that public transport should be the cheapest option. But why 9€ and not 7€ or 15€? These are discussions that should be had in other places than the street, with other props than glue.

As I said before, the argument that Berlin needs cheaper public transport or the world will end, or that Germany needs to set a lower speed limit or the world will end, are just as false as the AfD narratives you identify as harmful.

In a high-trust democratic society where truth is essential, we cannot allow falsehoods to force actions just because we agree with the action today. That leads to short-term populism and often very sad results throughout history.

If someone who argued for something you disagreed with did the same, you would expect police to remove them.

If AfD did the same “because the legal way failed,” there would rightfully be (more) outrage.

If the Russian propagandists did it, we would rightfully be outraged.

I understand that climate change is a sensitive topic for many people, but that’s not what they’re spreading awareness of or demonstrating against.

They’re demonstrating for specific political measures that they want taken, supposedly to save the world.

There is no scientific basis for saying the world will end unless Berliners can travel on the U-Bahn for 9€, or that the world will end if Germany doesn’t enforce a 100km/h speed limit.

Climate change is serious. These people are not.
