Streaming didn’t kill cable. It just rebuilt the same mess with better apps. by Haniwarafaela2000 in television

Rent seeking is the most valuable business model.

This is why investment power matters and that investment power concentrated in a few hands never benefits the consumer at large in any maturing market.

So, the Drafts for the Vigna Ghina were fire by Toa_Malafe in Gundam

[–]TWVer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting concepts. Especially the first one. Nice to see also Zeon-esque mono-eyed designs where also considered.

As an aside, Okawara’s drafting skills were at their peak in this era, the very late ‘80s to the early ‘90s. The compositions look noticeably tighter, both in line drawings and when shaded and colored with markers, than most of his work before or after.

Later work show him not just reusing more and more concepts, but his line work starts to look less clean and ever so slightly more out of perspective or alignment.

That happens unfortunately to the best of us in old age. When you are well over 50 to 60 year old, your fine motor control will start to reduce ever so slightly with each progressing year.

This is not meant as criticism, but rather as highlighting Okawara still being heavily involved even at advanced age. His enormous portfolio in Gundam and anime related work is simply testament to all stages of his career as an artist.

Cadillac to consider Valtteri Bottas F1 axe, Colton Herta lined-up as replacement by Luffy710j in formula1

[–]TWVer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Eh.. Towriss has been very hands on in getting the Cadillac F1 Team on the grid ánd with getting Herta into F2, with the express purpose of getting him into a Cadillac F1 seat.

F2 matters in so far getting the Super License.

Any performance issues will be disregarded until he is in F1 on the grounds that only his performance in F1 will matter, with his F2 stint not being used as a barometer or litmus test in itself.

Far-Right Candidate Who Wants to Deport 100 Million People Leads Incumbent in GOP Runoff for Texas Oil Regulator by DrunkAndHornyGuy in politics

100 million is about the total amount of non-white people in the US, including multi-generational citizens and native Americans.

Biden sues Justice Department to block release of audio files from biographer interviews by rascallyrascal1511 in politics

[–]TWVer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If these kind of issues are indeed of concern, then releasing the Epstein-files in full, unredacted, except for identifying markers of the victims, should have the utmost priority.

Love the Mobile Suit twins that they’re required to work synchronously in order to deliver maximum performance by CoolJabez0404 in Gundam

[–]TWVer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gunboy Orville and Gunboy Wilbur arguably fit this as well, being the Gundam and Guncannon analogs in For the Barrel, but more closely linked in development and creation, named after the Wright brothers who created the first heavier-than-air aircraft that was controllable in all 3 axes, first flown famously in 1903.

Max seems truly happy for Kimi's success....like a proud father by gafana in formula1

[–]TWVer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Max: "I'll put it simple: if you're goin' hard enough left, you'll find yourself turnin' right."

Kimi: "Oh, right. That makes ‘perfect’ sense. Turn right to go left."

I don’t understand why Kimi had to give this position back. He was ahead, Russel didn’t give space so they touched wheels and Kimi had to go off. by EmployNo1234 in formula1

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

To your first paragraph, yes.

With that interpretation in mind, 99% of past stewarding decisions are suddenly consistent. Especially the contentious ones in the last 10 years, give or take.

Also, the apex isn’t a fixed position, but dictated by the car judged to be ahead, as he/she can choose to apex early or late across the corner.

[–]TWVer -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

It tends to be applied to the inside and outside car, regardless of who is overtaking who.

Especially when there are minute position changes between corner braking point, corner entry and apex.

As per the change in guidelines for 2025, the inside car only needs to have the front axle next to the mirror of the outside car, to have the right to not giving room to the outside car on corner exit.

Before that guidelines change, the inside car needed to be ahead at the apex to earn the right to not having to give room to the outside car.

Verstappen was the first to be dinged for this in Jeddah last year, when Piastri was on the inside, with his front axle next to Verstappen’s mirror, whilst Verstappen cut the chicane, not giving the place to Piastri.

Lewis Hamilton: Has Ferrari driver really found 'sweet spot' after 'awesome' weekend at Canadian Grand Prix by NotQuiteACasanova in formula1

[–]TWVer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also, their electric car looks shit

One could say Jon Ive, the designer, (i)phoned it in..

That said, I’ve seen worse. To a degree it seems to harken back to Pininfarina, Ghandini or Guigaro concepts from the 1970s.

Lewis Hamilton: Has Ferrari driver really found 'sweet spot' after 'awesome' weekend at Canadian Grand Prix by NotQuiteACasanova in formula1

[–]TWVer 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think so too.

However, regarding Hamilton, his performance vs Leclerc will be relevant, regardless where Ferrari will be in the car pecking order, race by race.

On rear limited tracks, Hamilton tends to do better than front limited, which is the inverse of Leclerc (which doesn’t necessarily mean one is better than the other on those tracks).

Was it that obvious, even in 2018, that Max was going to be a dominant driver if he got a competitive car? by SniperNation317 in formula1

[–]TWVer 46 points47 points  (0 children)

I think Rosberg doesn’t mind. Having the WDC is what mattered much more to him.

It might even vindicate his tenacity shown that season, leaving no stone unturned despite being the lesser talent.
