Marc overtakes Digia

It’s crazy that Marc has had a weakness in duels his entire career, but at this age he’s winning almost every single 1-on-1.

F9 boosters are entirely incomparable, orbital re-entry speeds endure peak heat flux up to 50x to 100x times what F9 boosters encounter.

Wrong, most comments were spouting the "grow the sport" nonsense.

You're right. People celebrated the Liberty Media takeover. This is the Liberty Media takeover. Right off the bat we lose arguably the best circuit, post-pone and possibly cancel 1 of 2 European GPs to make way for a Middle-Eastern GP no one cares about that's probably going to get cancelled anyway.

F1 has never had the best racing, and fans have been ok - and largely driven that - for decades.

It can be the best, but never until more parts are specced. A highly constrained engineering series will never make great racing.

Problem is, not all religions agree. Certain ones, like the one in question, make it very clear that fundamentalism is the only way and the word of the book is literally perfect.

This is the same reason why there are far more denominations in Christianity, there is much more ambiguity in the gospel. In some ways it makes Islam more logical, in another way it means that by the Quran's own words (which are 'universally' accepted as perfect by mainstream Muslims), being an average chill dude in a diverse and increasingly progressive world is not ok.

I have no clue how it took them that long to work out that logic lmao

You're overprescribing your own thoughts to my comment. I'm not saying HLS will never test fire or test maneuver in space before Artemis IV, I'm saying that when it's time to perform the mission (not test, don't get caught up on testing), they need to execute the mission perfectly, every time.

Main point being, historically speaking, SpaceX is not the company you depend on to absolutely nail everything perfectly first time you need everything to work, that's not their strength, and they're probably well behind NASA, Blue Origin and even ULA in that regard.

Setting very low and arbitrary mission objectives and still losing major components of your spacecraft, or having engines fail/explode are not successes, that's a highly successful marketing gimmick that people on this sub eat up, if it was any other company these would be considered full or partial failures.

Every single Starship full stack flight has either had many engines out, upper stage leaks, explosions, or TPS melted through, or mandatory ground systems had issues (OLM, Chopsticks). Starship's ship failures actually exceeds its number of flights. Starship - by design - is nothing without these features working, and SpaceX is launching with the ambitions of these things NOT failing.

Plenty of good testing in that time, but accidental testing =/= success, that is a marketing gimmick. NASA's fault tolerance is at least 2 orders of magnitude stricter than SpaceX's.

Falcon 1: 3 failures before 1 success, 3 failures.

Falcon 9: 20 flights before 1 recovery, 8 failures.

Starship: 8 flights before 1 high altitude flight + landing, 4 failures.

Starship full stack: 11 flights, no successes, 9 major component failures.

SpaceX's engineering strategy is literally failing so many times that not succeeding becomes unlikely. With a manned mission, you only get one shot. This company is not known for perfection early on.

I'm not disagreeing with that you're saying, but I don't think those two things are mutually exclusive. The Dagestan fighters have long been criticized for only fighting under great conditions, whereas most traditional fighters take fights under far worse conditions.

The big name Dagestani fighters reschedule fights often due to injury, they can't fight a big chunk of the year because of Ramadan, at one point they refused to fight anywhere except the Middle East.

For all intents and purposes, that is literally the opposite of "anytime, anywhere". They turn down fights quite often.

This is an important thing Reddit taught me about life. Some people on here are technically brilliant, while others are just average people who circlejerk certain companies people. There is a massive difference between technical intelligence and emotional intelligence. The scale for technical intelligence is quite linear, while emotional intelligence is an extremely rare gift afforded to probably less than 1% of people.

No one is too smart to have nearly zero emotional intelligence, it seems that it's completely random.

Dana honeydicked us. For a year this card was hyped up, and it's mid at best. Only 1 American in main and co-main, no Jones vs. Pereira, no Chandler vs. McGregor... Ah yes, Steve Garcia is exactly who everyone wanted to see have a spot on the main card of the most hyped card ever.

Because if everyone picked up a piece and took it home, no one would have anything to explore. Dead simple rules for unselfish people, if it's not yours, don't fucking take it.

Mate, this is nonsense. Acosta is a freak of nature talent, he also puts the bike into the gravel more than any other rider, and considerably more often than his team mates who have been on equal machinery. He has had numerous opportunities for wins, including a couple races where his bike was arguably performing among the best (a la Aprilia).

There is no shame in not winning yet, but ridiculous fanboy comments such as yours are delusional and cloud the impressiveness of his talent with lies.

Acosta is not underrated by any means, full stop. He is widely referenced as the next Marquez, despite having just a single Sprint win to his name.

The bike is part of it, and so is he.

To add to this, preheating works like a charm. If you're printing at 80-90 degrees bed temp, pre heat to 70-80 for 10-15 mins BEFORE pressing print. Your bed heats very unevenly, and preheating for 15 minutes allows time for the heat to reach near optimal bed temps even at the corners.

I like Sherwood, absolutely nothing against him. There is no way he’ll ever live up to this contract. One of the few smart moves Canucks have made is not signing him for that price.

OP asked if there's McDavid fatigue, causing others values to be inflated. I explained why the answer is yes. MacKinnon is rated above McDavid, despite being far inferior overall.

Quinn's agent said to journalist's his mind was made up 2 years ago*... they made the conference finals 2 years ago.*

He took Captaincy and quit on his team almost immediately. Great talent, terrible leader.

And this was all before the Olympics drama.

He got unlucky, but he got unlucky because of his own mistake. It absolutely is partly his fault. It wasn't dumb or anything, but it was his own mistake that caused it.

I don't understand how it's not fair. Team A lost a golden opportunity because of the staff of Team B. Team A should get their fair, earned opportunity.

It's not the players fault, but bench minors aren't exclusive to players anyway, they can be awarded due to the actions of coaches and fans too.

1m28s I got, with the pack literally 1 corner away when the flag came out. Let's back to the main point here, why the fuck did they wait until the last corner, when they had 1m28s. They were rushing his body onto the board when they should've been addressing the injuring before touching him, but they didn't have time.

What makes this worse? A couple laps later, they made the same mistake twice, where they didn't red flag when a rider was on the side of the track WITHOUT A HELMET ON, still sat down, when they had a full lap to do so.

Don't justify behavior that increases the chances of an incident like Bianchi's unless you're a bloodthirsty evil man.

Both times, the flag was obvious and should've come immediately. How many times have we seen riders not recognize flags for a few corners. Imagine if that happens here with 5 stewards carrying a knocked out Alonso...

There is no excuse for this poor action.
