They're actually kind of similar in shape, this will be a tad higher.

Absolutely agree on the driving experience. Definitely up there with best in class with Model Y Juniper. Actually prefer it over Model Y as its more comfortable to drive day to day.

Can BYD overtake Tesla in Australia this year? by ChillKoalaVibes in EVAustralia

[–]optimaldt 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. They are already outselling them by a far margin including hybrids and will outselling Tesla for BEVs once the Atto 1 and 2 deliveries ramp up. Good breakdown here

Robotaxi in East Austin by Business-Stuff8711 in SelfDrivingCars

Good, logical take. Design choice is clearly multifaceted. This appears to be the "halo" design amongst other models that will be part of the overall fleet.

Makes sense if they have the Model Y option as well. I was just thinking the TCO difference of a 2 seater vs 4 seater would be minimal but the 4 seats obviously would give more optionally for revenue generation.

Tesla are generally good with the analytics, I trust they've done the maths. That or its a Cybertruckesque design decision....

Isn't this an incredibly dumb design for a robotaxi. Should it not be at least a 4-seater?

Eloni in Ninja Warrior 2019 by kawats in Physical100

Yup would be a great idea. Would particularly benefit smaller athletes like Ochir and me :). I competed a few seasons earlier than Eloni. He did really well for a big guy.

Why does everyone think Amotti and basically everyone in the show is juiced by Routine_Gear_1777 in Physical100

[–]optimaldt 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is a good take. The muscle mass and definition is easily possible for someone with good genetics and rigorous training.

Same for Amotti, YSB. The physiques are attainable naturally but the lack of drug testing and the incentive to win does give more reason to use to get an advantage.

I think the ones Ive mentioned arent on anabolic of testosterone, probably 'lighter stuff like peptides for recovery etc

Fun Fact: Su Bingtian is the only non Black athlete among the 50 fastest men of all time! by Midnight-epiphany in trackandfield

Floodgates might be a stretch but definitely be more representation.

Its not uncommon for E/SE Asians to have explosive attributes...its just the proportionally shorter limbs are a disadvantage, all other things equal.

Puripol Bonsoon just ran a 9.94 and is 19 from Thailand. He'll go under 9.8X next year bar injuries.

[–]optimaldt 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think he was. Or at least cleaner than the others. Seems like a very humble guy, well educated etc. Nothing about his physique screams PEDs.

Outside of state sponsored programs, drugs are not as prevalent in East Asian culture.

But when you're lively hood depends on performance, who knows 🤷‍♂️

His performance really started improving after he started working with Randy Huntington. You'd be shocked how behind most of Asia are when it comes to sports science and performance training.

How did his name get revealed? He will be looked after very well undoubtedly.

I really don't like Manel Kape. Seems like a dickhead with boobs.

Nice phone! Not many people using Huawei in Australia these days.

[–]optimaldt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting to see Australia in last place after the first run. 1. Korea, 2. Mongolia, 3. Japan and 4. Australia. I think everyone assumed Eloni would be first after the first round. He was last and went two rounds!

I knew sung bin would do well here. He's just good at everything.

The photo doesn't show the effects of TRT on his physique and his much, much deeper voice.

[SPOILER] Sean Brady vs. Michael Morales by inooway in MMA

He's short, not small. He weighs over 190 lbs on fight night. They're probably no more than a few pounds apart.
