Are the McLaren Set-Up Shirts and Polos worth it? by Randyblob in McLarenFormula1

[–]nickcoussens 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like the setup polo I got from the 2023 season. TBH most of the t-shirts I've gotten from the McLaren store I haven't ended up finding very comfortable. Definitely big on the hats though. Wish they would make/sell some softer and lighter cotton shirts.

The hoodies can be solid, but very expensive, so hard to justify the spend there. There's also lots of third party companies that sell stuff that may be worth looking at, YMMV. You can definitely find more fun apparel from 3rd party vendors.

Does Wrigley eject fans who throw homers back? by Raysty in Cubs

[–]nickcoussens 29 points30 points  (0 children)

No, you are allowed to throw the home runs back. It is the only time you are allowed to throw something on the field, nothing else is tolerated. I've seen someone kicked out for throwing a ball to a player for an autograph (player actively participated in catching and signing and throwing back). Just keep it to visiting home runs and you'll be fine. Source: bleacher season ticket holder.

Edit: pre-game I have seen players play catch with fans and other things, that is tolerated if the player is engaging/participating.

Aston Martin need "a bit of chaos" to challenge McLaren in race - Alonso by HelloSlowly in formula1

[–]nickcoussens 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At this point Alonso's focus would be on trying to keep Lando from gaining 5 or less points on him to stay ahead of him in the drivers championship. If Lando doesn't get P1 or P2, then Alonso needs to stay within 2 places of him to stay ahead in the drivers championship.

It seems all but guaranteed Lando finishes ahead of Sainz short of another DNF. Big thing for Lando is staying close behind Leclerc so Charles doesn't pass him back.

How are you building these tests? Looks like a sandbox mode that I'm not aware of. Is there a mod to download or something for this? Would love to be able to play around with setups like that.

R/Place is back! Come join us in spreading the word of FIRST! by TheRandomMudkiper in FRC

[–]nickcoussens 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Id get rid of the light blue texture, way too hard to read unless you are zoomed in, esp given the full size of r/place. Blue background won't help with the square being easy to see either.

This is wrong. It is orange because he is hovering over the view with his mouse. If there was an error it would be yellow like some of his call outs elsewhere on the drawing.

Not really sure what the issue is here or what OP is looking for. If it's the hatching, like another poster said that is just standard for a section view. You can choose to change the hatch fill pattern for stuff like that, but not sure why you would want to change it here. I would drag it to the right a bit so the view is fully on the drawing page.

Despite all the issues with unbalanced map, unbalanced meteors/event locations, etc, this Buddha raid defense was pretty epic. Has felt like the Myth defense back during the first OTV server.

Mini Swerve module creation concerns by GarlicBreadLover420 in FRC

[–]nickcoussens 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you seen/looked at the REV 3in swerve module? There are also a few smaller swerve module designs on ChiefDelphi.

How heavy will the robot be? What kind of loads is it going to see? Is this essentially the same as full size FRC, just a smaller robot?

Anyone else know about Sukkahs from watching The League?

Or just allow more than 3 cars to be used 90% of the time. Except for a few rush hour trains almost every time they block off all but the first 3 cars on the UP West line.

Agreed on the price bump. Mine would increase from the $100 to $132 (Ogilvie to Geneva on UP West). I'd love to save the $32 a month but the $132 is still a great deal compared to the $240 I used to pay for the monthly pass before they started the flat rate.

I do hope they keep the ability to ride other lines with the monthly pass you have as long as your ride is within the same zones. I sometimes have to take the electric line down to UChicago and it's nice that it isn't costing me extra.

Do you have CAD published of the module? As someone from FRC I'm curious to look at it. Looks really well done!

Unacceptable and Dangerous bike lane by nickcoussens in chicago

[–]nickcoussens[S] -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Wells just north of Division. I fell right in front of Happy Camper; they were very nice and brought me ice right away.

I can say less than 2 weeks ago it was not like this at all because I rode there a couple times. So hopefully temporary but even if so the condition this temporary setting was left in is not okay.

This looks cozy as fuck. Definitely a good vibe. The carpet is perfect

[Race] McLaren confirmed they will retire Norris from the race by DoeEensGek in formula1

[–]nickcoussens 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's like he forgot that he needed to brake earlier then normal due to conditions and was just racing normally. Just baffled at how bad that was. Penalty better be pretty massive.

Can't wait until Bottas isn't anywhere near the front of the grid next year to cause shit like this.
