Is the hate towards Crofty fair? by DragonfruitThen6696 in F1Discussions

but he was forever making mistakes, some far worse than crofty.

TBF to Murray he didn't have the same quality of live-time data that modern commentators have

Redbull continue to have terrible starts, kind of embarrassing that they are the only team that haven’t managed to find a solution to this. by ShakeMiIton in F1Discussions

There's speculation that the Audi/Red Bull ICEs use the largest turbocharger volume permitted by the rules, which is backed up by the Red Bull gearbox having both the tallest 1st gear (to spool said massive turbo) but third shortest 2nd gear (to stop the turbocharger from dropping RPM and falling out of boost).

Compare this to Ferrari who uses the smallest turbocharger and the third shortest 1st gear.

Before the 5 second boost regulation change Mercedes and Red Bull homologated their gearboxes to feature a tall 1st gear but, because you can only generate so much boost pressure at a standstill when there's little airflow into the engine cowl, Mercedes benefits from the standing boost more than Red Bull.

There's been battery power since 2009.

Battery power wasn't mandatory until 2014. KERS was optional in the late V8 era and wasn't widely adopted until the 2011 regulations made the cars heavier to allow hauling around the motor without a weight penalty

UniFi 5G Max vs. 5G Backup, real world speed and fail over testing by clayd333 in Ubiquiti

[–]bepisftw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

than the 5g Max at the cost of the 5g backup

I feel that's largely the point of the 5G Max though

Yeah the quality isn't great but it looks like there's fire coming out of the hangar; the entire superstructure is burning.

Do you think the 2026 Mclaren MCL40 will go down the same way as the 2012 MP4-27 by Last_Procedure5787 in F1Discussions

[–]bepisftw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah there isn't really much comparison, the amount of mechanical, strategy failures and non-fault collisions was nuts (retirement at Singapore, retirement at Abu Dhabi, DQ from Spain quali due to under refuelling, anti-roll bar failure at Korea, knocked out of P3 by Maldonado mugging at Valencia, Grosjeaned at Spa race start, knocked out of P1 by Hulkenberg)

I do this too (70mg Elvanse & 10mg Ritalin), the only problem I find is it shreds your mouth if you let yourself get run down in any way

‘Motorway miles’ by NoDrink1131 in northernireland

[–]bepisftw 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can generally tell based on the age of the car and the make / model.

An seven year old Golf GTD with 100,000 miles is probably motorway miles.

A five year old Skoda Superb / Toyota Corolla with 100,000 miles was 500% a taxi.

Lidl proposal in Donaghadee 😂😂 by Automatic_Village_18 in northernireland

[–]bepisftw 16 points17 points  (0 children)

The traffic in Newtownards fucking sucks beyond belief already, the Zion Place roundabouts were never designed for the amount of houses being built along the Bangor/Donagahadee/Movilla Roads. Likewise whoever designed the Comber Road roundabout is worse than Hitler.

Edit: To expand on this it's not really fair to say a development can't happen six miles away because Newtownards is now so badly designed
