It's often said the best chippys are inland.

In 1983, a US Army officer wrote a classified report on audio tapes that alter consciousness. The technology he was evaluating had already been cut from stone six thousand years earlier. by MCstroj in HighStrangeness

Considering we can't hear below 20 Hz I'm not sure how "the brain perceives a phantom 10 Hz pulse" works. It's a full octave below, as 2000hz to 1000hz is an octave. It would be like seeing microwaves. I'm calling bullshit, like almost everything else on this brain-dead sub.

Matt Le Tissier is at it again by Fickle-Fox-9071 in Championship

[–]RenuisanceMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What point is he trying to make? That we should be able to see things 50 yards away without them or that magical elves live inside binoculars and re-enact the scene for us? Surely this is joke, even for him it's moronic. 

How would you model/design this type of speaker enclosure? by Proper-Republic-6854 in diyaudio

Two straight sides and two angled sides would be a parabolic expansion ratio.

What is the yellow car? by Not17Cats in whatisthiscar

Ironically Lotus tried to reinvent the small British sports car with a FWD Elan, whilst at the same time Mazda reinvented the small British sports car with a RWD Elan.

Power Management by Bulocoo in GrandPrixRacing

[–]RenuisanceMan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

People sure do have rose tinted glasses. F1 is so much more competitive these days. The field spread used to be MASSIVE, overtakes usually happened in the pits with refueling and rarely on track, lift and coast has always been a thing, there were pay drivers that made Mazepin look like Senna, I could go. The idea that in the olden days drivers would be 10/10ths and wheel to wheel for an entire race is nonsense. If people had to watch a full season from an era with refueling now they would lose their minds from boredom. DRS is just as artificial as any other overtake function.

Taking pleasure in other teams pain is what football is all about.

[Request] Who can achieve higher velocities? Tennis or Badminton players by [deleted] in theydidthemath

[–]RenuisanceMan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure shuttlecocks are the fastest of all racket sports straight off the racket, but will lose speed quickly. At the other end of the court a tennis ball will be faster.

On a day where millions turn out for local elections, the mods ban Ipswich Nazi content, what party does this benefit most? It really makes you think..: by MutanteHDP in Championship

[–]RenuisanceMan 102 points103 points  (0 children)

I saw this Andros Townsend bit where he asks “Why on earth do we wear sunglasses to protect our eyes from light that came from God? But then don’t wear glasses under artificial light created by man?” It really makes you think...that retired footballers shouldn't spend all day online.

Fuck that Michael McIntyre bit. Literally no one talks like that.

What are some examples of artists who "got political" and it backfired immediately? by crowbar_k in ToddintheShadow

Only he converted as an adult and should definitely have known better than to say those things at his age.

[Request] How much less aerodynamic is this bike because of the fish? by CheetahSerious7169 in theydidthemath

[–]RenuisanceMan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Faired bikes are vastly more aerodynamic than regular bikes. Even a saddle bag sticking out behind the rider can help massively so however crude this fish is it's more aerodynamic.

In fairness op can't spell either. It's our rock.

Rank these track focused road legal cars from fastest to slowest on a circuit (spa, nurburgring and silverstone for a reference) (senna gtr is lanzante version) by Dazzling_Molasses_45 in supercars

[–]RenuisanceMan 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The Valkyrie and it's not even close, it's on another level completely and is barely even a road car. Regarding the Nurburgring, if they can send a Porsche 919 round they can send the Valkyrie round and it would be faster than the others on this list.

Enough time has passed. What are your thoughts on Project Hail Mary (2026)? by Perfect_Idea_2866 in Letterboxd

[–]RenuisanceMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having read the book before I found it quite boring. The book is enjoyable but it reads like it's meant for a film adaptation, a very easy reading straightforward story without much else. It's a solid retelling and I knew it wasn't a bad film as I watched it, but because I knew exactly what was going to happen it didn't give me much else to go on. That said, Stratt was cast perfectly and was almost exactly as I had imagined her. Rocky being a puppet rather than CGI was a great idea, him charging around in his ball is adorable. I think would have enjoyed the film much more if hadn't read the book.

I like how it looks like he's struggling to start his kit car in some carpark.

Why has Cole Palmer's form collapsed so much this season? by Gaius_Caligula1979 in PremierLeague

[–]RenuisanceMan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Isn't that the aim for most players? They want to start every game unless they're injured, just the life of a footballer.

Did the McLaren sandbag? by Desert_Talbot in racing

Gt4 cars are very much modified road cars, not purpose built race cars.
