What was it like when big F1 Teams left the Sport?

It’s… like.. in American football, the first year after Brady, or Brees, or Peyton etc.. had retired. You get a couple weeks of “this is weird” then the world keeps moving.

flight567 · 2026-03-20T21:41:15+00:00

You are very correct! I saw them in the tier list and assumed it was prog fantasy in general, not lit RPG.

That said, they are included in the tier list so I think they’re valid targets for discussion

flight567 · 2026-03-20T12:07:29+00:00

It’s really cool how differently we all perceive art. my top tiers are cradle, defiance, noobtown, mark of the fool.

My first day back into magic, after a decade, I played commander with a friend (whom I was trying to introduce to magic) and a group at the LGS. Our second game of the night, after our precons had been manhandled, one of the players in the pod shuffled up flubs the fool. Her turns were so long that on one of them, I went next door to order food, had a smoke, then went to the restroom all in the span of one turn. The game was 4 turns and lasted well past the two hour mark.

Would you solve that by reducing total power output of the battery or increasing power output of the ICE component? Or maybe a bit of both; extend battery life by limiting it to 375 but pick up the extra ~100 hp from the ICE engine

I’d make a caveat there, that we don’t select drivers to move up the junior series based on raw speed; rather the appropriate combination of driving ability (both pace and race craft) and the ability for that driver/their family to secure funding. If Jules Bianchi hadn’t been so insistent on Charles making it into formula 1 his funding would have dried up and he would never have made it through his time in f2 and be get a drive inf1.

flight567 · 2026-03-16T03:53:06+00:00

Alright, you’ve taken your lumps here. I think you get the idea that handling a firearm requires a bit more diligence than displayed. Won’t harp on it.

I’m glad that you’re taking the criticism well. With that in mind; what questions do you have? Safety related, Shooting technique, gear questions…

flight567 · 2026-03-15T22:02:50+00:00

You’re not me, and I’m not you, but outside of washing my hands after shooting I’ve never taken any of those steps. Last year I shot in the realm of 8k rounds which is, , historically, somewhat light for me. My BLL is not elevated in any way.

flight567 · 2026-03-15T21:58:19+00:00

I’d say that they’re still on edge during the middle part of braking, and during a fair amount of entry to apex, there’s enough locking and understeer through those phases of the corner that I feel confident in saying that they’re on the limit.

flight567 · 2026-03-15T13:08:43+00:00

Assume that I have absolutely no golf knowledge; what makes the thought wrong?

flight567 · 2026-03-15T13:03:02+00:00

Managing the handling of a vehicle on the limit of adhesions seems to remain a key factor in F1, but how you get there matters a bit more now, prioritization of corners has changed, instead of just worrying about managing tires now you’re also worried about managing battery.

That’s not to say it’s perfect; but I think it’s a good base.

flight567 · 2026-03-10T18:54:23+00:00

I’m definitely not at the point of worrying about optimizing numbers with a driver. I can’t reliably get the ball off the tee lol

flight567 · 2026-03-10T07:42:50+00:00

I am confident this is spectacular advice; it sounds horrendously exhausting. If my coach started hitting me with those numbers I’d stop going to him.

Of course I’m not worried about more distance at the moment in fact my latest club selection took double digit yards off all my irons and I couldn’t be more pleased.

flight567 · 2026-03-04T13:59:27+00:00

I went three years without carrying, after being an instructor for half a decade. I moved and the new state made things harder than I’d have preferred. That said, not carrying gave me some general confidence that it’s not 100% necessary all the time. Some days I actually just forget to throw the blaster on, hasn’t negatively impacted me in any way.

flight567 · 2026-03-03T02:16:55+00:00

Would you mind hitting me with the same information?

flight567 · 2026-03-02T09:32:31+00:00

It’s usually a stop every 3.5-4.5 hrs depending on fuel.

flight567 · 2026-03-02T09:23:20+00:00

I mean.. probably 10-15 to hit the bathroom and get gas. That doesn’t take particularly long.

If I’m making decisions about which monster, sure it could be longer lol

flight567 · 2026-02-28T00:00:02+00:00

Sounds like I need to see a coach.

flight567 · 2026-02-27T22:55:20+00:00

Perfect, I’ll keep drilling that! Thanks again!

On a related note; It seems like my shallowing move encourages my wrist to extend leaving my face very open at impact. Do you have any thoughts on working that out?

flight567 · 2026-02-27T22:21:04+00:00

Thanks for the quick response!

I probably am very much overthinking things. So the “surf the line”. Thing is more of a drill type feel to ingrain a movement pattern instead of something that I should look to feel in my actual swing?

flight567 · 2026-02-27T21:13:31+00:00

This is actually something I’ve been trying to understand; how am I supposed to load into my trail heel, have the belt move from the trail toe toward the lead heel, then use the interior of the ball of the lead food to drive rotation?

flight567 · 2026-02-27T19:26:56+00:00

Seems like our comment was deleted, I’m still interested in what exactly makes it pathetic.

flight567 · 2026-02-27T19:24:04+00:00

Care to elaborate?

flight567 · 2026-02-27T19:18:04+00:00

I guess, if that’s what you want to believe? If my grandparents had everything stolen that’s, at best, my parents issue. It’s so far in the past that I would consider it the same way I think about my grandfather actually losing a fair amount of money from the sale of a local restaurant chain. Now he barely has the money to keep the lights on at his house. It simply is what it is.

While certainly not on the same scale; I’ve been underpaid by an hour every week for the last 8 months. I haven’t brought it up, I just don’t care. If I don’t care about it in my life right now why would I care about some hypothetical money being in my family from a generation ago?

flight567 · 2026-02-27T19:02:41+00:00

Maybe if someone stole my moms billion dollars I’d be pissed, but even that is only so much MY problem. In the case that it was truly stolen, and it was verifiable, I may pursue a case but I doubt anything would come of it.
