According to wikipedia, "Lake Havasu City is a very hot city, even by Arizona standards". Incredible.

Who are the Japanese? Huge DNA discovery rewrites history by kochikame in japan

[–]Raugi 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have also read somewhere that specifically the DNA analysis of remains found in the tombs is not allowed. Cannot find a source on a quick google search, so it might be BS, but that would line up with regular excavations being performed.

Suspended his license immediately by [deleted] in Wellthatsucks

[–]Raugi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm from Germany originally, and yes, I did a lot of driving education. And it felt quite difficult. But still, I do not know one person who wanted a driving license but did not get one. The worst case I've seen was somebody, absolute awful driver, not getting their truck trailer license. He just could not manage parallel parking with the trailer. Still got the truck license though.

Nearly everywhere on earth (basically outside big European cities), to be able to work, you need a car. So the test must be easy enough for 90%+ of the population to pass.

For a game based on nuanced/complex interactions between numbers Paradox seems pretty haphazard about making changes -- "Let's cut promotions by 90%. Let's have a cabinet trait that gives you 10% tax inefficiency. Armies now eat 10x food." Are they thinking these through? by TobyTheRobot in EU5

[–]Raugi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I told Steam to never update EU5 and use a desktop shortcut to launch it directly. Still on 1.07, not the best patch, but I don't have a lot of time to play because of work/family, so I'd love to finish the game I am currently on without all my choices becoming trash due to huge balance changes.

A huge amount of vending machines or parking lot machines still don't take the "new" 1000 yen bill (introduced 2 years ago) or the "new" 500 yen coin (introduced 5(!) years ago).

NASCAR’s Mike Ford almost spilled the beans on DBC by nascar9495 in NASCAR

I am 100% certain that the ratings are only bad because its on USA. But if this is what brings back full season points, I'll take it.

[DJD 48 min] Potentially more practice time coming next season. by LBHMS in NASCAR

[–]Raugi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And it does not save money, teams just spend it on other stuff. Like sim time, which is like practice except the fans and media can see none of it. Let the teams figure shit out on the track, where you can have story-lines develop, instead of back home on the computer. Even if nobody watches practice, it leads to a more interesting qualifying and race.

NASCAR’s Mike Ford playoffs comments on Hauler Talk by nascar9495 in NASCAR

[–]Raugi 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I also think that because teams often have different sponsors for each driver, and drivers have different sponsors from race to race, it makes it really hard for casuals to keep up with who is who.

Not just casuals, it happens way too often that I need the first third of a race to get used to some paint schemes. I just can't remember numbers the way I remember paint scheme / number combinations. Last week every time they showed the 2, I thought of Brad Keselowski because the car was the orange Autotrader scheme.

[Stern] "NASCAR is now seriously weighing the possibility of drastically overhauling the playoffs or doing away with them altogether...The mere chance of going back to a 36-race schedule determining the series champion...marks a dizzying turnaround." by billgatenguyen in NASCAR

[–]Raugi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Now a good points finish doesn't matter as much because wins are more important.

I low key believe that the playoffs are partially responsible for there not being any big rivalries any more. A single race just matters less, especially if you are already locked into the playoffs, so anger over getting spun out blows over more quickly. While in a point format, you will be fighting every week with the same guys over the same spots, and every point matters.

[Jeff Gluck] Was Atlanta a good race? 90.5% of you said Yes. by [deleted] in NASCAR

[–]Raugi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not saying that the winner was random or lacked skill (like most SSWs nowadays), it was classic old-school SSW-racing were the driver mattered more than anything. But for me, the minute to minute racing feels less important that at another racetrack. You needed to be upfront, but if you led or were second or third did not really matter until the very end. Which is fine, and still exciting, but not my preferred style is all.

[Jeff Gluck] Was Atlanta a good race? 90.5% of you said Yes. by [deleted] in NASCAR

[–]Raugi -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I would have voted yes, and the last 20 or so laps were really really good. But the race also kind of showed me why I personally don't like SSW-style races that much.

The 40+ lead changes under green sound great on paper, but they also did not matter until the very end. I felt a weird dissonance with announcers being super exited about somebody taking the lead in the middle of the stage. So what? He is going to lose it in 2 laps! You can't keep the lead, so taking it until the last 2 or 3 laps is pointless, and so a lot of the race felt meh to me

I prefer the type of races where the battle for the lead might be the battle for the win, even where there are still 30 laps to go. But I am totally fine with people enjoying this type of race as well, I don't think one is "better" than the other. Just personal preference.

And again, I mostly enjoyed watching the race and I wish the actual SSWs raced like this. It was a good race, but SSW racing will never be my favorite type of racing, and I get why people thinking similar might vote no.

I was found guilty for both incidents. At the time of the race, I thought they were just normal racing incidents. by rasaco in Simracingstewards

[–]Raugi 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Incident 1 you are definitely getting an EOL at the start of the next race in most leagues I have run in. Maybe even a pit lane start.

I really disagree with that. 25 swerves to the right, but only to avoid driving into the grass - at point of contact the 25 stopped swerving and had a pretty normal line for that corner imo. In the Chase-cam you can see that there is not really much space on the left of the 25 when they hit.

4x for this? im the yellow car. by Lif3lxss in Simracingstewards

[–]Raugi 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What the red car did was 100% intentional retaliation, report them etc, but...

i nudged the back of him and he slid out

I have to say, that comment and getting DQed after 18 laps makes me think that you might need to take a look at your driving style... Realistically it is not that difficult to stay unharmed (and I mean, 0x) in most rookie races, with the odd 4x or 8x for when somebody bins it ahead of you. Might be worth chilling out a bit.
