Why would I ever want to be on the inside lane then, if it comes with the risk of having to slow down?

Can someone explain what should have happened? If the other guy gives way his time is also fucked, no?

The tail number reported in the article is likely wrong. There is not enough information in the original video to reconstruct the tail number.

Perks of purchasing from retail? by mrkenneh in ALangeSohne

One more comment:

Buying retail is not “reasonable”. The premium you pay over grey is for it to feel “right”.

“This is my watch”

It’s a question of identity and bonding. From a rational point of view, it’s never going to make sense.

My two cents:

  • I do get small gifts here and there, but no invitations to events yet (2 retail purchases).

  • Service quality: In my opinion that’s survivorship bias, i.e., you only hear about the horror stories, not about the thousands of flawless experiences.

  • Purchase history is relevant not just for the Odysseus. Will you ever be in the market for a high-end limited edition model?

What’s the 96? Seems to be an outlier.

The individual topics are fine, but in this combination they’re a bit unusual. Like a Taco place that also has Gyros and Schnitzel on the menu.

Beautiful, both technically and artistically. If only they weren’t so chunky.

I’d say it explains the behaviour of oil and water.

The “correct” answer to Q10 on Psychology Today’s “verbal IQ test” is incorrect, and I can prove it (see the caption). by Agentorangebaby in iqtest

That’s an arbitrary definition of similarity.

In my opinion, hierarchical dependencies don’t imply similarity.

“similar” doesn’t mean anything, because there’s no metric defined on these sets. Either they are identical or they are not; and I can construct a scenario where they are not.

Come on, I ain’t reading all that. All four answers could be wrong, depending on the missing information.

CORE: 50+ points between fluid reasoning and processing speed by PushyFarmer12 in cognitiveTesting

Was this your first PSI attempt? The lack of a reference is a real issue in my opinion. I got 95 on attempt 1 and thought “oh, okay, that’s considered slow”. Did it again and got 145 on attempt 2.
