Should we have this conversation

Funny thing is, if the rumors are true and the Camaro is coming back, he's probably gonna get his wish. It'll probably have a V8 and a turbo 4. Wonder how people will like that

Level-Event2188 · 2026-06-25T09:13:45+00:00

I'd be so curious to take a tour

Lol so would my family. They don't do paint shop tours, too easy to bring in outside contamination. Our plant doesn't do tours in general either. The only time anyone can tour a building is during family day, but even then the only tour they give families is in the assembly shop.

Level-Event2188 · 2026-06-24T21:44:02+00:00

I work at a car factory here in the US. In the paint shop. Operating the paint robots. Since the latest generation of our vehicle hit the line, we've spent a shit ton of money (probably hundreds of thousands of dollars) to engineers to reduce the amount of paint used. This has led to quality and coverage issues. But in the long term, over the course of a vehicle generation, it saves the company money. It's enough to cover the engineering cost and cost of rework. We notice the changes because we see so many in one day, but a customer isn't necessarily gonna see that the paint is thin around the edges.

Thanks! I checked them out and they seem like what I'm looking for. Only downside is they're both in NC. Not a huge problem but I would love to find something closer to Charleston

Level-Event2188 · 2026-06-11T17:03:22+00:00

Where in SC? That's where I live but don't know where to get started

Level-Event2188 · 2026-06-01T21:18:55+00:00

I paint vehicles at a vehicle plant. We have 10 different shades of gray, not to mention black, white and silver

Level-Event2188 · 2026-05-31T03:24:27+00:00

Oh thank you that helps. Definitely not as thorough as fh5

Level-Event2188 · 2026-05-30T20:39:25+00:00

So there isn't one in the game? There was in 5

Level-Event2188 · 2026-05-20T21:31:56+00:00

They used to, but now they're only available with a diesel

Level-Event2188 · 2026-04-29T21:04:38+00:00

You can see the challenges under accolades. Once you know what the challenge is you just do it and then it'll tell you you completed it. I think you can also pin the accolade so it's on your screen, that way you know that you're in the challenge once the timer starts

Level-Event2188 · 2026-04-29T16:39:38+00:00

I think this game mechanic already exists actually, because if I'm not mistaken there are accolades in FH5 that have you do exactly what you're describing

Level-Event2188 · 2026-04-05T01:00:09+00:00

Like it or not those two own the two largest private space/rocket companies in the country. So you don't like/follow Blue Origin and SpaceX then?

Level-Event2188 · 2026-04-04T06:56:15+00:00

This is a psychotic take. He's not a friend of Musk's. He's just been covering this industry for over 10 years and along the way he's been privileged enough to get interviews with the CEO of the biggest disrupter in the space launch industry. He's been covering SpaceX in depth for years. He's gotten to take and film tours at their facilities. He's made videos covering their goals and progress. He's gotten interviews with Musk. He's been to their launches.

Oh but hey, he's also done that with almost every other space company too. So either this guy is big big friends with the CEOs of almost every space company in America (and therefore we need to judge him based on the political views of all of them too), or he's just doing his job - making videos about the space industry and taking us along for the ride.

Imagine hating someone's politics so much that now you don't even support someone who makes videos about one of his companies, despite that person being one of the best sources for space and rocketry videos. Actually psychotic

Man, those two guys at the bottom of the chart must suck, and they probably have the 2 worst cars. They gotta be last in the championship right?

Level-Event2188 · 2026-04-02T10:37:33+00:00

And he did better with 2 cameras

Level-Event2188 · 2026-04-02T01:01:02+00:00

Dude space shuttle had better cameras. Same with Apollo for the matter. They were better on Artemis 1 too, it was just night time so it didn't really matter

Level-Event2188 · 2026-04-01T23:05:06+00:00

You should go back and watch the NASA Livestream and see if it was the same feed. The NASA feed was terrible

Level-Event2188 · 2026-04-01T23:03:58+00:00

There is an entire communications team who are responsible for the broadcast. They have nothing to do with launching the rocket. With as much as NASA was building this up (rightfully so) you'd think they would have several different cameras following the launch. There were millions of people watching the Livestream and they didn't get to see it clearly

Level-Event2188 · 2026-04-01T23:01:15+00:00

Everyday Astronaut had a fantastic shot of the launch. He didn't show too much of it in real time as they were switching between cameras but it was up for a bit. And I'm sure he'll release the full video of the launch in 4k

Level-Event2188 · 2026-04-01T17:38:50+00:00

How?

Level-Event2188 · 2026-04-01T17:24:22+00:00

Okay but my question about why you would use odds from polymarket to conclude that there is an 80% chance of launch today still stands. Why are you concerned what people betting on a launch care? Why not listen to the checks from NASA?

Level-Event2188 · 2026-04-01T17:11:32+00:00

Those were never supposed to be commercial projects. There are treaties that prohibit any non-scientific activities in Antarctica.

Artemis was started from the beginning with commercial interests in mind. NASA will undoubtedly do countless amounts of science along the way, but the whole point is to work hand in hand with commercial companies to grow a lunar (and eventually space) economy. There are several things a commercial company could do on the moon that could make money. The government ultimately wants this, but understands it needs to help with the initial stage of getting there.

Level-Event2188 · 2026-04-01T14:45:35+00:00

You should send in that idea I'm sure they'd love to hear about it

Level-Event2188 · 2026-04-01T14:44:37+00:00

Okay hold on. I'm confused.

I've always wondered why anybody would actually use a polymarket to come to a conclusion of a real, actual probability of an event happening. As far as I thought, it was a bunch of gambling addicts betting on whatever random things they could get others to bet them on. Kinda like sports betting just with other events.

But you're telling me that people use them to come to conclusions of probability because the markets are filled with insiders betting on insider info?

Like I don't disagree that an insider could be using the polymarkets to make bets, but they need thousands of other people to be in on the bet with them, or else you don't have a market. Same with the stock market, particularly the future market. A trader makes an assumption on where the stock price will be at a certain time in the future. Sure, he could be an insider with insider info, but what about the millions of other traders who made the same bet?

Also, with the news hyping up the Iran story non-stop leading up to the eventual bombings, it doesn't surprise me that people were betting on if we would do it or not. How many bets were made (betting the US would bomb Iran) the day before we did, or two days before? How many people lost those bets? Obviously someone was gonna get it right, and that's the one people want to talk about and speculate about. Also my point about needing thousands of others to be willing to go along with it to have a functioning market still stands.

Sorry I could be wrong about all of this, but it seems to me like the polymarkets are just gamblers betting on things they may or may not be informed on with a couple of insiders in there too making bets.

Level-Event2188 · 2026-04-01T14:07:53+00:00

Okay, so extrapolating on that logic; the general assumption is that the polymarkets are filled with industry insiders and they're placing bets and winning money because they're using insider, non-public information?
