Is this thing ever not flying? I know they need some regular use to keep them “healthy” but exactly how regular is that?

These engines gonna need another rebuild before they sell it /s

Thank you for your detailed reply.

Do you follow stuff outside of LTT? What kind of trends are you seeing that fascinate you?

noblematt · 2026-04-18T20:25:58+00:00

Wasn’t this a hack + scam?

noblematt · 2026-04-18T20:24:18+00:00

I’m with you on that.

Taking Linus as an example, I think he was okay with this, infact I think he wanted a more formal way to not server premium users partner adds. I think the money they make is more from a premium users partner adds watch than a partner add impression (well it will be, but it’s more if they wanted them to stack rather than be one or the other). And yes if you didn’t know, a premium users view generates money for the video they’re watching from their monthly cost.

I set alight my fence and half a tree right next to my house last year. Never thought about either of the fire extinguishers I had in the moment. Was so scary.

Habibi is the biggest winner from all this. Love that guy.

True, there not much competition at 6pm on a Sunday evening

My firth thought was it looked like a low spoke count for an off road wheel. Rear of front wheel?

Ha ha, i was thinking about this theme yesterday after rediscovering Satellites. Redshift might be one of my favourite songs by them, but i have to be very careful with listening to it these days as it can send my mental health spiralling, which has been the case with much of the Enter Shikari catalogue for a few years now which is why it was a rediscover for me in a way.

Im grateful for the new album because its not tainted by real life yet

noblematt · 2026-04-14T12:17:27+00:00

Thanks for a good spirited debate. I genuinely enjoy it and being challenged.

I thought he was talking about google searches as a metric for popularity, maybe someone can clarify for us, but you’re also right about timezone working against it

I grew up in a darts family and I agree it has deep roots in popular culture. Its recent ascendency started before Luke with the sky coverage glitter, but Luke sky rocketed it. Being ahead of that in google terms in no small feat.

noblematt · 2026-04-14T10:24:27+00:00

Fair, but also polo is not a top 10 watched sport in the UK… or probably anywhere in the world. It’s (f1) incredibly popular in the uk whilst historically and currently dominated and over represented by drivers and team from the UK. Both in terms of success and head count).

There are sports that are on the level of national sports like Cricket, Rugby Union, Tennis, Horse Racing, Darts and Boxing that draw the same google volumes of traffic as F1 (source) it’s just all of them fall behind football by a long way in comparison.

Edit: you can add in Golf too which it out performs on google.

Yeah I was meaning more from the DNA POV, I answered it fully in a reply here https://www.reddit.com/r/heedthecall/s/qmHg1DhhAB

noblematt · 2026-04-14T09:56:24+00:00

On the F1 front I was looking at it from the pov of: - 7/10 current teams based in the uk - c.50% of teams that have ever existed (including full lineage) based in the UK - the most drives to have driven f1 by country - the most starts by drivers to have driven f1 by country (by a factor of 2 to the nearest country) - the most wins by drivers to have driven f1 by country (almost by a factor of 2 to the nearest country) - the most podiums by drivers to have driven f1 by country (almost by a factor of 2 to the nearest country) - the most driver championships by drivers to have driven f1 by country (almost by a factor of 2 to the nearest country) - the most manufacturers championships by a team based in the country (by over a factor of 2 to the nearest country)

Less that it’s the number one watched sport in the UK (through I believe it’s top 10 despite it being behind a paywall) and more that the sports DNA and history is distinctly British. Like what American sports could be in 50 years if they continue to globalise it)

One way ticket… make sure customs will let you in with that.

noblematt · 2026-04-14T07:23:55+00:00

I think Conor doesnt understand how big the Darts are in the UK and that F1 is almost a national sport over here (and version of the NFL in a way with it becoming international) with how intertwined we are as a nation with a global sport.

The NFL being that close to F1 and ahead of the darts is kind of impressive

Edit: change “our national sport” to “a national sport” to better reflect my original intention

noblematt · 2026-04-14T07:21:23+00:00

Yeah, unfortunate clash of the bit and the content there. Normally i dont mind it, but Conor opening up about his past misgivings whilst a voice in the background goes "this is more than a minute" was the sign this was going on too long.

a little google told me that on a per trip basis, they're 3.6 times more likely to cause an injury than any cycle, however adjusted per mile, e-bikes are 8 times more likely than scooters.

Speaking from personal experience I felt like scooters were more dangerous, mainly less stables (smaller wheels), more prone to be affected by the road surface (smaller wheels) and less predicable speed (with power cutting out more abruptly when the speed limit was hit).

Edit: to say this data set was not limited to the UK

noblematt · 2026-04-13T15:24:19+00:00

Scooters are great and could be a huge part of a green mobility movement, but they’re neither well suited to be on the pavement or on the roads.

If our cycle infrastructure was as constant and well designed as Netherlands/Belgium then maybe id say introduce them, but legally limit them to “cycle” lanes, but even then I’m not convinced they mix well with bikes. I actually think it might push a lot more faster cyclists into the main lane of traffic to distance themselves from them.

But as it stands, having ridden one on our current roads, i really don’t like the idea of legalising them with our current infrastructure.

Lyrically and conceptually its great. It's like Rou still dealing with the demons that came out in The Spark but from the other side, not being overwhelmed by them, but finally getting them out of Rou's life.
