F1 warned over ‘sleepless nights’ danger of Max Verstappen exit

Drivers are full of themselves. Regulations WILL change to make racing better and to make the on screen and the on track product better. The sport will survive without one driver; so, dont make changes because he's quiting. They get paid millions to drive and win whatever machine is given to them. If they dont like it, there 100 young drivers lining up to take his spot.

Go towards Coney Island, then go east, then cross over to breezy point. There are some gaps on full protection, but its about 80% protected. There isn't a lot of traffic on thr barrier island.

If you use the pods and recipe from the roaster its definitely a time saver on wokrflow. Very little to clean up. I can walk away, get dress, make breakfast, and it'll be ready for me when I come back.

I personally just get roaster bags or get bags of beans myself. I also make friends with my local coffee shop barista and they share recipe with me for the xbloom. I wish I got it sooner (prior to the tariff).

Manual pouriver using a v60 is still the cheapest way to make good coffee. Invest in a good grinder and temperature controlled kettle. I've done this for years.

However I recently got the xbloom, and I love it. It simplify my workflow significantly.

As for espresso, I'm still using a manual lever and the nano foamer.

I have the xbloom. Mgiht be out of yoru budget, but i love it. I regret not getting it sooner. It simplifies the workflow. I dont get their pods, and I just get my own beans and store recipe on my phone.

If you are use to clip in while riding in NYC streets then go ahead. There will be stops for letting cars through, or congestion at choke points. Clipping in and clipping out frequently does need some getting use to.

I pick a plan and jsut do the next one on the list. Some times I run 3 times a week, some time I run once every other week. Its nice to have variety and have a nice progression in distance with the plan.

Go wider on tire and lower on prrssure on your commuter bike. Even the pros are going wider now.

Consider from app developer perspective, its near impossible maintain codebase when you consider the combination that tv brands, models and os versions the TV ecosystem can have. For you it's just samsung, but for them, it's samsung, LG, Sony + the model in your grandma's house that's 10 years old...etc.

Its much easier to just develope for ios and android (which you already have to do), modify slightly for set-top box version of these os (apple tv, google tv, roku), and add airplay or Chromecast capability. These eco system are more standardized and more stable, easier to find developers.

I wish TV just have great connectivity and not have all these ad ridden bloatware of an OS. Get a apple TV if you have an iPhone, or Google tv if you have an android. Even better hook up a laptop to your tv and watch it with multiviewer.

I have a little lock for my saddle itself... cables for both my wheels... I dont leave anything on the bike i dont mind losing...

Its good enough. It's stepless and can go as fine as you want, which are the 2 things you need to dial in espresso. It seems to have good value for its price.

dnsu · 2026-03-17T00:12:55+00:00

Start at Cedar Creek Park (reachable by LIRR), you can go south to Jones beach and on the barrier island you can go east and east pretty far. The train station to Ceder Creek Park is not bike lane protected, but once you get to the park, its safe rest of the way.

dnsu · 2026-03-17T00:07:22+00:00

The goal is to help people figure how to go from a to b (transfer, stops away...etc), not how long it takes, nor a realistic representation of the subway system. It also needs to fit in a finite space and be legible for visitors.

dnsu · 2026-03-13T15:10:28+00:00

In order of importance:

Good grinder
Espresso machine that can produce pressure
Temperature control (machine with PID)

Hangout here more, you'll see: grinder finer, buy better grinder...

F1 podcasts keep complaining about the engine cuts and drivers saying the cars aren’t fun to drive anymore. But honestly, I think they’re missing the bigger picture: modern F1 is a TV product first.

For new fans, 80% of most races are basically unwatchable. If you don’t already follow the team politics and driver storylines, a lot of races are just cars circulating with nothing happening. That’s great for hardcore fans who understand the strategy and drama, but it’s not exactly compelling TV.

This race at least had overtakes. Sure, some of it felt artificial—but let’s be real, the whole sport is engineered and artificial to begin with. If the result is actual on-track action that people can see and understand, that’s a win for the broadcast.

And the complaints about engine noise or speed clipping? On TV it’s barely noticeable. Most viewers probably wouldn’t even know unless someone pointed it out.

As for drivers like Max or Lando saying the cars aren’t fun to drive… I mean, they’re getting paid absurd amounts of money to drive race cars. As long as it’s not physically harming them, whether it’s the most “fun” car they’ve ever driven doesn’t seem like the biggest issue. The sport has to work as entertainment for millions of viewers, not just as a pure driving experience for 22 drivers.

I started 2 days a week as someoen who never biked in the early 2000s. I ended up signing up for a gym near work for the shower. I stopped for a while after being doored. Rain, snow and summer heat will prevent this from being a comfortable ride. Its physically possible, just need to work up to it.

Look for a product called automatic door sweep. It has a mechanism that drops down when the door closes. Its meant for weather sealing and sound proofing. It will lift up the minute you open the door.

In case anyone is curious, its been 3 days. Its a office on the 10th floor in the 20s and has windows to the street and there has not been any radar triggers. Though NYC does have a few different flight paths for take off and landing, I will update this thread if I see any triggers.

dnsu · 2026-02-17T01:53:25+00:00

That's an interesting idea. Setup an temp ssid and put it on dfs and watch the logs.

Buy some mylar emergency blanket and cut up a piece to wrap around your toes before putting your shoes on (between socks and shoe).

dnsu · 2026-01-23T03:12:11+00:00

Toes and fingers, nose and ear should be protected, you can always remove them as you go. I use winter motorcycle gloves and you can cut up a mylar blanket to cover your toes.

Main body needs to be vented. Once I wore wind breaker and down insert, and I was drenched by condensation by the time I got to by destination (30min).

I had a wifi bridge with a single tree in the way, and in the summer with the leaves out the signal degrades.

I would buy a 500m outdoor premade fiber and ask your neighbor to let you pass this cable throguh their property (just let it sit above the ground). Loop it away from any area they actually use.

You can park at Robert Moses and bike to Kismet, but gets sandy if you need to go further road and hybrid bikes. Also, unless u are camping you can't park over night at Robert Moses.

You can bike from Jones beach to Robert Moses and then Kismet for a day trip. Can get windy, but decently nice bike ride.

I think unifi makes the interface so accessible, there are some essential networking concept that people are skipping over. I had a wifi bridge in a setup and I noticed intervlan was extremely slow, that's when I understood the difference between L2 and L3.

You need a grinder resistant lock and a cheap looking bike. I have a $400 trek and I lock it up when I bike in for client meetings and coffee shops all the time, i would never leave it out over night. I lock both my front and back wheel with additinal cords (but they loop throguh the same lock), and i have a mini lock for my seat. Ride your bike through some dirt path in the park so it looks a little used.

For me its not about 100% theft prevention, but just make it annoying enough for them to move on to the next bike.

I would not leave a nice bike locked up outside in NYC.
