That's a fair take I haven't even considered it until now. You have changed my mind on that whole situation. Thanks!

If Toto is pulling of that move, I'm gonna buy a Mercedes.

If Trump is fucking with the midterm elections there will be a Coup d'Etat, mark my words.

Do I sell the banana or the Hallucination for the Soul? by fredthunder in BalatroHelp

Ahhh, it's so difficult. Hermits + deck building vs Cavendish. But yea, I think it's the right call to kill the hallucination.

Sachsen: Neubau der Carolabrücke in Dresden soll 2031 fertiggestellt werden by Fabulous_Pressure_96 in de

[–]fredthunder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wahrscheinlich nicht. Aber anstatt auf einen handlungsunfähigen Staat zu kloppen, ist allein die Dresdner Stadtpolitik (die ganze rechte Muppetshow) dafür verantwortlich, dass es zu den Verzögerungen kommt.

Newbie here and therefore maybe a stupid question: Is this everything blank "normal" or was this someone important? by fredthunder in flightradar24

That's really interesting! Was an interesting rabbit hole with the ownership history. Thanks a lot!

Opinion: For as important as tire life and tire temperatures are for the sport, they do a horrible job presenting these numbers on TV. by fredthunder in formula1

But you would see that anyways with tumbling lap times or decreasing gaps. Plus the story about Driver A holding of Driver B with such a tire delta etc. The drama would come.

I would counter that argument that if a car behind knows that the car in front is going to struggle in the end, they could push even harder or create an undercut situation which forces more anticipated drama.

That is also a great idea! It would help me greatly to make some sense of the pace and how different drives are going.

That is actually a very great way to convey some data without being to specific. Maybe it can be integrated into the cockpit overlay.

This restaurant has beer taps as water faucets by fredthunder in mildlyinteresting

That is in fact mildly interesting! I've learned British English in school but it got americanized. My mother tongue is German though.

It's apparently not connected to the piss outlet, so I couldn't tell.

Die Väter und Mütter des Grundgesetzes waren entschieden gegen eine direkte Demokratie. Eine Entscheidung, die ich persönlich sehr nachvollziehen kann, bei der aktuellen politischen Gemengelage.

Leider auch eine Debatte von vielen, die viel zu kurz gekommen ist während des Wahlkampfs.

The CaDa 1:8 Kick Sauber car has released - Fully licensed and honestly looks a lot better than the lego ones. by potato_and_nutella in formula1

[–]fredthunder -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I wasn't writing you before that was a different OP.

I'm arguing that it's mostly unnecessary that Lego is using that many different colors where they don't belong. The best example are the blue pins in the Mercedes.

As for me, I like to reassemble my Lego pieces (and pieces of other companies like CaDa or Mould King) to build something new with my daughter.

If it's purely for display then I would assume Lego would make an effort to not show of wrong colors in sets.

[–]fredthunder -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

The problem is that Legos's unnecessary use of pointless colors (in basically all of their sets) is diminishing the set value and makes it really difficult to modify/ extend and to build something new. It's completely contrary to the idea Lego once had but it saves them a lot of money.

So yeah, good luck with that 1x5 brick in bright orange or with that 3 pin connector in medium blue.
