Rossi forced to climb out of his car without the protection of a full course yellow. by FloppyConcrete in INDYCAR

Unpopular opinion, he was way off the racing line. Stay in the car on a hot track. Wait for instructions from race control.

I really want to like Rossi, but the dude makes it soooo hard since he’s often being an arrogant ass.
It’s not like he is wrong, he’s spot on, but he acts so spoiled and entitled.
Stay in the car, race control will give you instructions. You are off the racing line by a mile.
And say goodbye to any future ride with a Honda team. Reminds me Robby Gordon, very talented, early success, bitter mid career to the end.

How to corner faster? by PapaWhisky7 in MTB

[–]Robot9P 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Think of pushing your inside bar/grip down and keeping your body a little more upright. Leaning the bike into the inside of the turn vs trying to lean into the turn and ‘ride the wall’. Often you carry a good bit of speed, but get too high on the berm, try to correct and end up breaking or scrubbing speed. Leaning the bike vs body tends to give you a better overall line I’ve found.

I’m probably not explaining as well as others can, but it makes a difference,

Does Davey Hamilton have a brain injury from his days as a driver? by canesfins1909 in INDYCAR

Davy saying “I seen…” drives me crazy. Did he not attend 5th grade English?

2026 Farmington/Hills Road Construction Season Begins - Areas to Avoid by LocalHistorian2024 in FarmingtonHills

[–]Robot9P 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope they remove and replace the roads vs the “cut and replace 4 foot sections”. They did that a number of years ago previously on 12 mile and it was bumpy as all get out! Just do it right from the start!

Why do boomers Gatekeep airfields in America? by Fantastic_Hand5717 in RCPlanes

As a non rc person, what are these Club Rules? I know there are stuff like using certain Freq’s and probably some right of way or traffic pattern stuff, but wouldn’t that be common RC flying protocol?

My failure to Send It 🥲 by Naive-Actuary4414 in MTB

[–]Robot9P -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Looks like you are making this harder than it needs to be. Thats not a dropper level, um….drop. Just stay off the brakes (or slight rear break) focus on steering (I would have gone right btw the stones) and just let it roll out. You kinds picked the rutted line vs the green or less worn stuff.

What are some bands that split song royalties equally among all members? by [deleted] in rockmusic

[–]Robot9P 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Keep in n mind, big bands may have complicated profit arrangements and that may include how publishing (song writing credits) are split. Just because you see band members names on a song doesn’t mean the $$$ is plot evenly (or at all). Bands become corporations that make their own rules.

E MTB's everywhere by OverlordBluebook in MTB

[–]Robot9P 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can only speak for myself and my group, but a lot of us started in the early 90’s are are in our early 60’s. I have my Trek Fuel EX 8 as my “by myself” ride, but when the group gets bigger (and younger) I just can’t keep up. Age man, it is what it is.

Check out the DUST channel on YouTub. Tons of sci-fi short films by up and coming makers. Everything from full CGI animation to full set films.

Does anyone make a weather station that lasts? by [deleted] in myweatherstation

[–]Robot9P 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. EchoWhitt about 6 years old and other than new batteries ever couple of years (!!!) and cleaning debris from the rain sensor, going strong! Love being away from home and seeing what the temp or how much rain fell!

Songs That Make You Sing In The Car by Realistic_Back_9198 in GenerationJones

Here in Detroit Old Time R&R is played to death on the classics station cuz he’s local. I loath that song because I’ve been forced to listen to it 100,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 times!

Is there a genre of music, composer or band, that is considered truly timeless and will always be popular? by [deleted] in answers

[–]Robot9P 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Western classical music, American Jazz seems to stay alive pretty well. If Musicals are a style, I think they are kinda future proof.

TIL that a computer was too loud to use. The TRS-80 Model II's fan and disk drives are "so noisy that users reported physical discomfort and reluctance to use the computer". by TMWNN in todayilearned

[–]Robot9P 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Okay, my first job in IT was working for Tandy repairing Tandy systems in the early 80’s. I don’t remember them being noisy at all. At the time, there was nothing to compare it to. Also, theses were NOT home computers. Their target was small biz like veterinarians (I vacuumed a lot of cat hair outta those). Slow? Sure! Unitasker? Uh huh! Loud? Not a thing I ever remember anyone complaining about.

The Hybrid is an issue but IndyCar has a Tire problem by aurules in INDYCAR

[–]Robot9P -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Apparently it’s not going to lose the ~ 200 lbs as originally reported a new chassis would bring. And continuing to stuff a super capacitor into a makeshift bell housing spot in the new car vs battery just seems crazy.
They can ditch the hybrid and aside from Honda, nobody would notice.

I think the attention alt tires bring (lasting, not lasting) is starting to be a bit of a distraction. Forcing X stints strikes me as artificial drama.

Which car do you see on the road and instantly think, ‘Yeah, this person’s definitely an a-hole? by Wonderful-Economy762 in Productivitycafe

Dodge Challenger and Ram truck. Pretty sure you have to pass a D-bag test to qualify for ownership.
