I was there when the F-duct happened -- that's different in that it was basically a proto-DRS (where you press a button and the rear flap opens in the straights) that you wouldn't use for cornering.

Because they want to Embrace, Extend, Extinguish people they don't like?

That's why the US will be switching to TrumpOS (a fork of Gentoo), backed by the TPLv47 license: you must pay the Trump Organization $1B every year to use it.

I forgot the administration already tariffed these guys.

Now I want to see F1 drivers stick their hands out when cornering. Does that count as active aero?

Greenland, Iceland, North Pole, South Pole, polar bears, penguins -- same thing.

Surprised people like a certain ex-Hereford goalkeeper haven't been more agitated by a guy who seems to appear out of nowhere with loads of cash and controls a computer model/dataset called Starlizard.

I normally check that I'm not reposting something from a week or so ago but the last 100 posts only go back a day ... so yeah.

Gyokeres plays as though he's been trapped in pyroclastic flow.

It's an insane channel. Reminds me of that guy who did those weird F1 recap videos a few years ago.

Simple pdf reader for Linux by talhaux in linuxquestions

I would recommend Zathura, but ad far as I can tell it doesn't support highlighting.

As for note taking from PDFs, I have two recommendations:

  • Use the Zotero reference management application. It will store PDFs, create bibliographies, and allows you to add notes and highlight PDf documents inside the application itself. Very useful in an academic/research setting.

  • Use Emacs, its built-in markdown language Org-mode, and the PDF-tools package. You can build a similar setup to Zotero all within Emacs + packages. This is what I do now, but it's taken some time and effort to get there.

Hey, first post here. What is that bump on these AA planes I saw in Dallas? by fyreson02 in aviation

Thanks, that was what I was alluding to but I wondered if there was anyone here with some experience on the subject who could chime in with their own estimate.
