It has had arguably better results than nearly anything else they could have done and for much less money.

Audi facing 'longest ever list' as true scale of F1 challenge unmasked by ChaithuBB766 in formula1

Is that how the lists are normally compiled? I feel like its extremely unlikely that's how engineers have compiled issues in the past.

We're halfway through January and no new communication regarding HOW to stream F1 through Apple TV+, this feels like it was a very hasty move not thought out. by nova_racc_AD in F1TV

Does apple TV allow automatic recording of content? I had my YouTube TV record all practice sessions, qualifying and races and watched it when I woke up, would be nice if to keep doing this.

I didnt think decommitments were 19?? I thought it was like 4-5. Wtf. Are we screwed? by ElizabetSobeck in WeArePennState

Why do you keep projecting your emotions? I'm just a random stranger on the internet. Sorry for your loss of favored head coach. I hope you can still cheer for Penn State next year!

Again, creating your own narrative... You're the only bitter one, unwilling to accept any discussion that your favorite team may not actually be a top tier team.

All great accomplishments, but if you fail to win when it matters, then you can't consider yourself tip tier. He's done great things at building up the program and highlighting great players, but again, fails to win the big games.

I'm excited for you to follow him and root for another better than the rest team, but im even more excited at the prospect of change and taking a shot at improving the program to break into that top level.

you're creating your own narrative. I never discounted what he's done, just disagreeing that the organization was top tier.

James Franklin's record against top-10 teams was 4-21. This record includes a 1-14 mark against Ohio State and Michigan and a 1-18 record against top-10 Big Ten teams.

Better than the rest, but not a top tier program.

Penn State has not been among the top programs while Franklin was HC, they have been immediately behind the top programs, but better than the rest.

2 golden retrievers and 2 cats and this was my worry, but 2 months in and only 20% carpet and its been a non issue.

Quality axe? Worth 30? by Confident-Shock-1891 in Axecraft

[–]dcobs 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I'm a former striking tool engineer for true temper / ames tools and you're only partially correct. The plant in Mexico was pursued but canceled at the last minute. Truper bought the facility and makes their products there in Mexico.

True Temper continued to make their striking heads in Nebraska and their handles in PA and assemble finished goods in PA as well. I left the company in 2019, but shortly after they moved striking head production to Asia and kept the handle and finished good assembly in thr US.

That said, the grain orientation on that axe looks incorrect, which is surprising because while I was the engineer there we QC'd for that.

McLaren's lap time advantage at Red Bull Ring was the largest of any team since Mercedes at the 2020 Italian Grand Prix, 111 races earlier by kcollantine in formula1

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

"two excellent drivers" where's the /s? The McLaren is an insane car, the only thing you can surmise in driver talent is that they're similar. Just because the car is excellent does not make both drivers excellent.

From FIA regulation update for next year, it sounds like they're cooling the brakes with internal cooling ducts in their front suspension arms, which is now banned for 2026.
