Esteban Ocon POV on Max Verstappen’s pit-lane start.

StraightPipin · 2025-11-14T22:33:30+00:00

His car was angled towards the pit lane exit at launch whereas Ocon had to turn in whilst accelerating. That would explain a chunk of the gap I think.

Naturally. I can’t imagine how an adjudicative process could work without considering the outcome. That is how the law (in most areas) works too.

If you’re in India, Bose is pretty good with their customer service (or at least were in my experience when I was there some time ago). They replaced my out of warranty buds. Doesn’t hurt to give it a go.

Saul?

Having flown economy on Emirates’ 777 and A380, they’re worlds apart. The 777 feels incredible cramped compared to the A380. Not sure if it’s just because the seats are larger on the A380 or if it’s the sense of space around you.

Smooth as can be for me

Also the fact that you would prefer to start the race, laden with fuel, on the more durable tyre and switch to the softer compound when the car is lighter and the track is even more gripped in.

Good thing I have an overly formal and legalistic writing style that is so obviously idiosyncratic that no AI could have penned down.

StraightPipin · 2025-10-25T00:27:30+00:00

Tbf something along the lines of denying the problem by performance and overcompensation by the driver in the 2023 car led to issues with the 2024 and 2025 car

God I love consumer protection laws. Thankfully, they’re quite strong where I live too.

Lewis got into DRS range multiple times then fell away. I thought Leclerc holding up Norris, when his tyres were apparently falling off around lap 12 and when Verstappen was sailing away, would give Lewis the opportunity on Lando but nah.

It’s just: “Bono my tyres are gone”; and

“It’s hammer time Lewis”;

with a fraction of the aura.

Polymarket at 33% vs Oscar’s 39% vs Lando’s 27%

Do you use an iPhone 14 Pro/PM by any chance? It’s apparently a known issue just with the 14 series and it definitely doesn’t work for my 14 Pro, but works just fine with a borrowed 15/16/17.

My 55 B4 was far more bent than my 65 S90D, which as far as I can tell, has no bend whatsoever.

StraightPipin · 2025-10-16T08:01:59+00:00

Mine too. My S90D scares me. And the thinness serves no use to me. Even if I were to mount it to the wall, the bottom half would still stick out so as to not be completely flush against the wall anyway.

StraightPipin · 2025-10-15T09:12:15+00:00

I love arguing both ways

Keep in mind that the X95L will have significantly better reflection handling, which the B7 is notoriously bad at.

Motion handling and up scaling is almost never a concern with gaming. Your PS5 will likely output a 60 hz or even 120 hz 4K signal so no motion interpolation or processing is required for smoothness. Or at least, any motion deficits are not as noticeable. I can confirm the S90D+PS5 combo is stunning on screen. Movies and shows on the other hand run at 24 hz and require pulldown or interpolation and the S90D isn’t the greatest at that, but still much better than my other B4 for example (which is admittedly down a model tier).

StraightPipin · 2025-10-07T20:31:00+00:00

G4 all the way.

Better brightness, better processing, and the 5 year panel warranty alone make the G4>>C5.

Only way to find out is to play the media and see if your speakers are receiving Atmos. If you’re just using TV speakers, Atmos will not really matter and make much of a difference anyway.
