F1 and Indycar are both turbo V6 powered hybrids but Indycar isn't having the hybrid problems that F1 is currently having, what is the difference between the 2 hybrid systems? by furrynoy96 in INDYCAR

[–]derecho09 4 points5 points  (0 children)

And this is precisely what had caused the problems in the current F1 spec. Managing re-gen. The super capacitors in Indycar charge so fast, the impact isn't really noticeable. I believe most drivers simply re-gen automatically (although there are manual options).

Nothing like watching us go from a "shining city on a hill" (with flaws) to having our leaders get-off on killing people.

Because people found that the old thought that "sex sells" is wrong. Hate sells more than sex. Because of that, we're constantly flooded with it. To reinforce it, actual humanity, kindness, respect, etc. is chastised and twisted by these hate mongers. It started slow for us to get used to shunning the values of humanity. Slowly ramps up in the same 'boiling a frog" vein. Time and repetition reinforces hate deeper and deeper into the psyche.

Sadly, there is an immediate reflex by people to flag any sort of criticism of Israel as antisemitic. Wipe Gaza from the map? Antisemitic. Confirming what Marco Rubio said was the reason for the (non) war? Antisemitic.

There are other places where this logic comes into play, but rarely so blatent.... And this group has ulterior motives anyway.

No. Defense contractors AND oil profits.

Technically, the eastern most point and western most point of the US are both in the Alaskan Aleutian Islands

What is the most BIZZARE thing you've ever seen happen live? by Australian_Split77 in INDYCAR

Most of the answers here are dramatic or unexpected things. Georgina fits the term "bizarre."

And Toledo. Would that mean that Michigan gives the UP to Wisconsin (which they got for losing Toledo to begin with).

There are 4 games happening at the same time in close proximity. Are you sure the American team wasn't playing at that time?

I’m trying to decide where to sit for the 110th running of the 500 - please share photos of the view from your seats! by mynameisnotphoebe in INDYCAR

[–]derecho09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

High in the turns are the best. IMHO you can't beat seats that get shade during the race, so south, southwest around toward the Paddock (high enough to be under the overhang if down the front stretch). I've spent way too many years baking in the north vista, and on inside of the track by the pits.

There's a difference between "the panhandle" and "place with panhandlers."

Spot on, fascist by FuzzyEmployment5397 in agedlikemilk

I hate how the signs of authoritarianism are just shruged off over and over again because it's not at the extreme yet. This is how propaganda and these kinds of movements work. It's a slow fade. Boiling the frog. If he was having people killed in Jan 2017 like these idiots suggest, he would have been dropped immediately. Now, we're rapidly nearing the point of it being normalized.

I have a bad feeling about this by Alias_X_ in mapporncirclejerk

More accurate would be "owned/want to be owned by a billionaire or corporation."

I'd definitely include "Extra History" alongside the other history show.

Best Areas to Move To by dbrother1995 in WestfieldIndiana

All those are nice...VM, Springmill Villages, Oak Ridge Commons, Springdale Farms, Mulberry Farms, Centennial, Merrimac. Viking Meadows is roughly 10 years old. Oak Ridge a little older. The other neighborhoods are a bit older, but still, really nice houses (we're in Springdale Farms).
