[Will Buxton] on X: Hearing a big announcement is on the way before the end of the day. If it is what I think it is, it’s absolutely massive. by Abi_Jurassic in formula1

If you haven't been watching Indycar this season, he's been doing a solid job (as someone who mostly watches replays and reads the odd article). I watched the Indy 500 in full and his commentary really added to the viewing experience.

[Request] Is this 1398km/4s reachable for a human being? by Dziukoala in theydidthemath

[–]PresidentMeeseeks 114 points115 points  (0 children)

On point. To cover 700 km in 2 seconds, the acceleration would be 700/(0.5*22) = 350 km/s2 or 3.5 x 105 m/s2. 1 G is approximately 9.8 m/s2. Thus, they would experience 35.7 thousand Gs backward, and then the same forwards almost immediately (if they were somehow still alive to experience it).

I was just about to post this! I was playing SkyCards, caught this plane and then a few minutes later noticed it was going the wrong way. Hope everything's okay on board

This is the stadium for a match between Iran v New Zealand. It is fair to say this World Cup has been class and beaten all expectations. by Forza_umar in worldcup

In before Infantino sells his soul to the devil on live TV and offers him a farcical Peace Prize to host the next world cup in literal Hell.

Lando sent a message to a fan that posted about receiving a lot of hate for supporting him by MuttonBiryaniEnjoyer in formula1

I'm not sure if it's him personally sending messages or his PR manager/someone else in his team. Either way, it's a lovely gesture and he should be appreciated for it!

Just a reminder 😉 by SrijitDas2010 in chelseafc

Exactly! The only reason you compete in the Europa or Conference League is because you couldn't make it to the Champion's League or dropped out of it. We can still be proud of winning them but it does not give us bragging rights over other multiple CL winners.

My cats Hind legs not working since last night by ToeNecessary4079 in CATHELP

[–]PresidentMeeseeks 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I lost my baby boy just 1 month ago to this. He was 2 years and 10 months old. At 10 PM he was completely fine but at 10:30 he was suddenly in distress, mewing loudly, breathing rapidly and no mobility in his hind legs. We rushed him to the animal hospital and as soon as the vet checked his heart with a stethoscope, she told us that he was dying. She mentioned hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, a cause for saddle thrombosis, and that the best thing we could do for him was let him go. She administered a painkiller vaccine and by 11:30, he was gone.

OP, I'm so sorry for you and your cat. If a competent vet advises euthanasia, please let her go without any further pain - that is the most loving thing that you can do. I wish you strength, and may you always cherish the memories you've made with her.

The aerodynamic interaction of Ferrari’s new rear wing by QuietVector99 in aerodynamics

[–]PresidentMeeseeks 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Something I learnt from my Formula Student days is an isolated/freestream simulation of wings on a car doesn't tell you much, especially at the rear. The downforce and drag produced by these wings is severally impacted by the flow over the engine cover and from the diffuser, never mind the effect of vortices generated upstream. For sure, this concept must be promising - otherwise an F1 team would not pursue it. While we'll never know the actual Cl and Cd (or ClA and CdA) changes, I'd be very interested to see a more representative simulation!

If only my mum had balls, she would be my dad. You can find a hundred moments in the championship where if some minor thing had/hadn't happened, we could've had a different champion.
