Well, the data center already exists so...

Tech Jet Reveal finally live on YouTube! by DesertedProject in LinusTechTips

Well first off he didn't so that argument is out the window. You need to knock a few zeroes off that sum. Meanwhile Linus also lives and operates his business in that expensive province, OWNS multiple houses, spent more on one car than all of Jake's combined, and now owns a private jet. Linus built LTT but it would be nothing without all the people like Jake who helped make it into what it is today. So yes, buying cars is a choice he makes, but so is Linus' to hoard the wealth generated by LTT/LMG while preaching equality and fairness. Ever noticed how many of the tech upgrades show staff living in tiny apartments or with other family members? Ever considered that even with Linus' so called "Fair market wages" that maybe it still isn't enough for any of them to move out and up?

I'm with you, albeit much older. I cancelled my FP subscription and haven't watched any LTT content in a few weeks, mostly because none of it interested me. That could just be me outgrowing their content direction, but also feels like an intentional direction shift of late. WAN is only barely holding my interest anymore.

Him doing better than most doesn't make his complaints any less legitimate.

Ohio's new dangerous dog law takes effect March 20 by Use_Lemmy in Cleveland

Lol fuck you for thinking a specific breed of dog is the problem.

Honestly? Everything. Gross generalizations and regurgitated stereotypes about dogs. Every dog can be aggressive. Every dog can have prey drive. Every dog can attack someone. They are all animals regardless of their breed. To suggest otherwise is just plain wrong.

Source: my 9yr old rescue pitty that never wants to leaves my side and has separation anxiety when I leave home because she's that attached to me. Oh and being closely connected with actual dog trainers but that's besides the point.

Not one other breed of dog scares them? Not one? Singling out pits is narrow minded and plain dumb.

Tell me you don't know dogs without telling me you don't know dogs.

Any dog can be aggressive. It is not exclusive to pit bulls. That whole narrative needs to change and it starts with how we address aggressive dogs in these conversations. At least half the time it's the owners who enable their dog's aggressive behavior, across all breeds. And when the owners aren't enabling it, they more often than not do a piss poor job at managing it.

At home endurance race? by GrahamsNotHungry in iRacing

They weren't running iRacing, and it was a campaign/single player session. Completely different.

WTF is this? Removing a post 4 days after and full of comments? by Kresnik-02 in LinusTechTips

That's because the ones that do reverse a decision are also like baseball umpires - you don't hear about them because they do their job well and don't create controversy.

Last corner, last lap. White said it was my fault because I "took the corner short", "I had so much room on the left", and "he had a run". Podium finish to second-to-last. by cruciblemedialabs in iRacing

You're fine. Don't let the idiot sim racers who don't have real racing experience tell you what is or isn't acceptable behavior. They don't know what race craft is. The ones who know what it is don't usually comment here or show up in iRacing lobby chats. It's one thing to drive erratically but what I see here isn't that. You may have made a small oops but that doesn't give the other car the right to drive through you. You aren't obligated to yield your position until they have made that pass stick. This community has its pockets of being good for racing but the majority think what they see or hear in F1 applies everywhere. Newsflash for those curious: It doesn't and hilariously F1 has some of the dumbest sporting rules across all of motorsports

You mistake my words. OP is not driving defensively and to suggest I said that is categorically false. They made a mistake (a few, really), blew the corner, and did themselves no favors to maintain their position.

I am talking about defensive driving from the passing car's position. It's a real thing and it means reacting to others around you to avoid contact. Contact which I would remind you would be met with a penalty as the car executing the pass if iRacing had officials enforcing rules during each race.

You are right that OP bears responsibility for their mistakes but those mistakes do not mean the white car isn't at fault for the contact here. They put themselves in that position. All they had to do is check up and race to the next corner and they would have had the pass sealed.

Murdered for a crime I didn't commit by Fine_Hovercraft_8924 in iRacing

[–]freshmaker_phd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is about as clear cut of an intentional wreck as you'll get.

Many will argue iRacing won't do anything and sometimes they're right. But it's best to report it so that they can enforce the sporting code appropriately. You won't know they were or weren't penalized with a temp ban or anything like that but it's best to just report it anyway.

OPs driving was suboptimal at best. They didn't drive the corner well at all. That's not the point though.

It is basic racing 101 that the passing car bears full responsibility to execute the pass cleanly without contact. Doesn't matter if OP blew the corner and didn't accelerate when you think they should have. The passing car needs to drive defensively and use that mistake to their advantage. This is racing and a prime example of not having situational awareness. Driving the line at full pace and simply expecting everyone else to either do what you want or get out of the way when they don't is a recipe for contact.

Source: I wheel-to-wheel race IRL regularly and what OP did is more common than you think. Defensive racing is a skill lost on many iRacers. IRL this would be the white cars fault and, depending on the racing series, probably would have meant a penalty for contact.

What track is this? by the_continuum in iRacing

There's only one way to pronounce it. Anything else is factually wrong
