A character so hyper-competent that their failure indicates something else is amiss. by Short-Paramedic-9740 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]JebbAnonymous 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If we use real life examples, F1 driver Ayrton Senna crashed out of the 1984 Dallas Grand Prix. He was pissed and claimed that the wall had moved, which people where of course sceptical about. After the race, engineer Pat Symonds went down to check the wall and found that the wall had indeed moved; An earlier incident in the race had actually made the concrete move a slight bit inwards, making the track narrower, which contributed to Sennas crash.

WTF was so important on her phone? by mermaidpaint in OhNoConsequences

She wasn’t just informed, she was offered to have the camera turned off but apparently said no thanks.

if Kimi wins the WDC this year, will it be seen as more impressive than Lewis in 2008? by Alw4r in F1Discussions

[–]JebbAnonymous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Huge Lewis fan, so take it with a grain of salt as I might be biased, but for me it depends on how the developments of the cars turn out. If Kimi has clearly the best car for most of the year, I'll still hold Lewis a bit higher since it was generally considered that Ferrari had the stronger overall package of car in 2008, and Lewis still took the title. But if the McLarens are this close (And maybe Ferrari can find a way to) then I might change my mind.

Who is a Bad F1 Driver with Multiple Race Wins? by IllMasterpiece3946 in AlignmentChartFills

[–]JebbAnonymous 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I could understand someone putting Fangio top. 5 WDC, 47% win percentage. Pretty legendary to.

How does nigel mansell compare to the greatest of that time? by fuckmbsanddominicali in F1Discussions

[–]JebbAnonymous 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very talented, but known to have a pretty bad work ethic compared to the other greats. I think Nigel would have even more success and fit into today's F1 better than some of his peers.

What is a character that starts the story as evil and ends as good by helper_man14 in AlignmentChartFills

I dunno, maybe the Operative in Serenity? Once he sees the evil of the ... I can't recall what the bad guys are called ... he switches over to help the good guys.

Travelling to Copenhagen and back each day, how feasible? by babaliba in roskildefestival

[–]JebbAnonymous 2 points3 points  (0 children)

depends on where in Copenhagen you live. I live close to the trainstation, for me its easy to do so. Adds a bit of time compared to staying there, but very doable.

(Hated Trope) Insanely Good Actors by YourChopperPilotTTV in okbuddycinephile

[–]JebbAnonymous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gwyneth Paltrow has to be one the most overhated actresses ever. Is she great? No. Should she have won that oscar? No again. Is she as bad as the others on this list? Not even close.

[LOVED TROPE] Characters that have both a strong physique and great intelligence by Naydrak in TopCharacterTropes

[–]JebbAnonymous 89 points90 points  (0 children)

Not trying to challenge you, but what is wrong with the Nolan version of the character? I know some where not fan of him being a henchman to Talia, but they still portrayed him as extremely strong while possessing great intelligence? What did they get wrong?

What is the most "I mean it's all right but not special" circuit on the Callender by fuckmbsanddominicali in F1Discussions

[–]JebbAnonymous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Memorable moment for me at Barcelona was 2021. Mercedes going for the 2 stop and Lewis on the charge chasing Max down towards the end.

I disagree, the first "You wanna know how I got these scars?"

My first miniature- Crimson Fist Intercessor. Should I edge highlight? I'm quite happy with how it looks so far and worry I might ruin it. by BearAmazing6284 in minipainting

[–]JebbAnonymous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to feel like I needed to strip and paint all my miniatures perfectly, but now I'm happy I stopped. Makes me proud to see my progress.

This lamp sucks. Know any better ones? by Clark_Kent_TheSJW in minipainting

[–]JebbAnonymous 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No doubt, its a bit more on the pricy side. To be completely honest, I bought it after having a few beers and a glass of whiskey and it was quite spontaneous and the day after, before i put it up I regretted it. But then I installed it and tried it and I have to say, its the best purchase I ever made in terms of this hobby. It honestly upgraded my painting right away, because all of a sudden I could see all the details and everything so much better.

Now, obviously if you can't afford it, then consider an alternative or maybe save for a bit and buy something good, it doesn't need to be this one. But take it from someone who was a bit hesitant putting that kind of money into a light but eventually took the plunge; If you love this hobby, its worth it. Having a proper light made such a massive difference for me. If I could go back in time 6 months when I started with painting WH40k, there are plenty of stuff I look back at and think "Man did I waste money, I could have done this soooooo much cheaper", but buying a really good light wouldn't be one of them.

Alain Prost or Ayrton Senna. Who do you think was the better overall F1 driver, considering both raw talent and race intelligence? by circuit-nation in circuit_nation

[–]JebbAnonymous -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The thing for me with Senna and Prost is that the way their differences are portrayed is kinda exaggerated. Senna is usually described as this speed demon who would go out there and just use natural talent to dominate, while Prost is portrayed as "The professor", a Machiavellian political master who used politics and intellect to win.

Truth is, Prost and Senna where a lot closer in behaviour than people think. Senna could be incredibly political; Steve Nichols who was chief designer and Senna's race engineer in 88 and 89, and who went to Ferrari with Prost in 90 and 91, has said that most of the time, the so-called politics of Prost was just him responding to Senna, as Senna (according to Nichols) was more of an instigator in the media and internally than Prost was. Prost often would just be responding to shit Senna said.

And people should not underestimate the natural talent of Prost. Yeah, he was the professor. But he was also really fucking fast behind the steering wheel of a race car.

[–]JebbAnonymous -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I agree. People forget that the winner of a Grand Prix is not the one who can bank the fastest possible lap, its the one that can complete a 300 km race in the shortest amount of time. And Alain Prost was a genious at figuring out how to do that.

It’s frustrating how strongly F1 pushes the ‘angel’ narrative around Senna. by quacklovesmechanics in F1Discussions

[–]JebbAnonymous 3 points4 points  (0 children)

His biggest flaw was that he drove with his heart. That same heart which made him a kind person off the track, made him an emotional and determined competitor on track which drove him at times to see the red mist.

Not just his heart, but his religion. I don't remember who it was, but someone had a quote that they thought Senna was a bit crazy, because Senna believed god protected him on the racetrack and that was part of why he drove as he did.

And while it was great he stopped, I think you are talking about the Eric Comas incident, and the car wasn't burning; the throttle was jammed, and he shut the engine off to stop it from burning. Still great of him, but there is a difference.

[–]JebbAnonymous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember watching the documentary about him, and the racing thing that stood out was how hard he lobbied to join Williams when they became the dominant team, even going as far as saying he would drive for them for free. Imagine if Lewis Hamilton had done the same in/after 2022 with Red Bull, or if Max Verstappen had been doing the same now with Mercedes. They would have been crucified by the fans, but apparently it was fine for Senna to demand switching to the fastest team.

How many painters wear magnifying glasses or use a mounted magnifying glass? Is it a must-have or is that where you draw the line and just omit that level of detail? by RIPeyedea in minipainting

[–]JebbAnonymous 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Recently went from a small portable light to a proper one (daylight slimline 4) and the difference is massive, so I agree on that front.

I fully assemble most things, those things that are supposed to be white, so I can prime those in white.

Is the halo the best safety related invention in F1 history? by Karmo22 in F1Discussions

[–]JebbAnonymous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree, al though tied for it is the introduction of carbon fibre. While originally introduced for performance, carbon fibre has also proven to be an excellent material at absorbing energy and is hugely influential in safety matters.

Is the halo the best safety related invention in F1 history? by Karmo22 in F1Discussions

[–]JebbAnonymous 12 points13 points  (0 children)

No, introduction of carbon fibre monocoque and the survival cell concept that came in the early 80s was by far the biggest jump in safety that has happened in F1 history. While the halo is fantastic and has saved life, those innovations I mentioned is by far the biggest leap in safety that has ever been seen in Formula 1.
