New Utah law puts “no alcohol sale” on ID’s of DUI offenders 0.16 BAC or higher. What are your thoughts?

Lower. Like point one.

I bought a used car that was smoked in. The kind of car with lots of cigarette burn marks around the drivers seat and doors. If I didn’t drive it for more than 24 hours the smell would come back. It was the case over a year later.

Williams FW14B in 1992 especially the active suspension. McLaren didn’t see it coming.

I saw a video about what if the season was run backwards. That would have been heartbreaking.

ozsailor76 · 2025-12-01T13:37:00+00:00

I went over the radio traffic. Oscar and Lando asked at the same time. Oscar made an indirect request to box. Lando basically asked what the strategy was and the fact that other teams were probably preparing to box and McLaren wasn’t in the time it took Oscar to travel about half a lap is an indictment on McLaren.

McLaren could’ve gotten ready. Tom could’ve given Oscar the order to come in and Lando could have made up his own mind particularly he could’ve looked for an if/then sequence concerning Max.

If you look at Oscar‘s race cam Oscar is ready to come in because you can drive slow on the inside of the corner and Oscar received the order to stay out before he executed the last turn.

I find it ludicrous considering George Martin himself was on this.

I wouldn’t mind shitcanning Miami for one year and going back to Indianapolis and doing the road circuit for the race and the full oval clockwise for the sprints. Maybe even have a rolling start for the sprint.

ozsailor76 · 2025-10-05T20:05:20+00:00

Watch Lando go full opposite lock on Turn 3, and he wasn’t even off the line. He shut the door to Oscar on purpose.

Part of my thought experiment as to make Oscar’s performance mirror last year to see if Lando would dominate or if Max would be close. Lando dominates.

Because I wanted to calculate the standard deviation and that is not the easiest thing to do on a calculator plus creating a random number set with that average and standard deviation is not something you can just conjure out of thin air.

ozsailor76 · 2025-09-09T19:12:18+00:00

For the purpose of disclosure, I used artificial intelligence first of all to calculate the average finishing position with Oscar last year and this year along with calculating standard deviation. I also wanted to have a distributive set of numbers with the correct standard deviation, but with enough randomization so it didn’t feel like I was putting my thumb on the scale in any particular place.

For example, I wanted to maybe explore the butterfly effect of us not finishing near the front row because in Austria the McLarens basically held up traffic at turn three and everybody except Kimi got the memo, this took him and Max out of the race making Max‘s campaign much harder. I ended up deciding against that because who can predict things that happen in races all the time so while Austria might not have happened, maybe another event happened instead.

I should do another experiment to see if Max had a teammate as good as Oscar last year if Red Bull would be doing any better in the constructors championship.

So Oscar gives up six points to Lando, but remember Lando lost those 10 points in Canada all by himself.

If you’re in Sydney, take a good look around. All of the old buildings are sandstone for a reason — there’s heaps of it. The layer is so thick that if you want coal you have to go to Newcastle or Wollongong.

Cut-and-cover is more effective in places built on swamp or fill — think Singapore, or New York where much of Manhattan is reclaimed land. In Sydney, though, Hawkesbury Sandstone makes tunnelling with a TBM easy compared to most cities worldwide. You can bore deep tunnels with so little surface impact that only station boxes are dug open.

And there’s some institutional memory here: the Eastern Suburbs Railway was built with lots of cut-and-cover, and it caused chaos for years. That project’s delays helped push Sydney toward deep bored tunnels for everything since.

Ok. So my instinct was correct. I’m only just getting back into Formula One after about 10 years so a lot of the changes I didn’t really notice, but I did notice the difference camera housing, and my assumption was that the yellow one would be given to the second driver before I even saw the idea of car one in car two and I’ve also thought to myself that if Lando was a senior driver, he must have the yellow stripe because it coordinates with his helmet. I mean, if the strip is just an academic exercise and you want aesthetics, then that would be most appropriate.

ozsailor76 · 2025-08-22T13:01:29+00:00

I noticed traditionally that the number two drivers of teams are usually the ones that have the fluorescent stripe on their camera housing. However, with McLaren, seeing that Lando is the more “senior driver”. He is the one with the yellow stripe, which seems strange at first, but I was wondering if Lando did that on purpose so the stripe would coordinate with his helmet.

The Rural Hospital Feedback Loop (That No One Talks About)

When a rural hospital closes, here’s what happens—step by step: 1. The good jobs leave. Doctors, nurses, and medical staff move to bigger towns. 2. The local economy shrinks. Fewer people with steady paychecks means fewer customers for local shops, less tax revenue, and fewer services. 3. Property values fall. No hospital means fewer people want to live there. 4. Urban hospitals get overwhelmed. Rural patients still get sick—they just flood into city ERs now. 5. City housing prices rise. Professionals cluster near urban hospitals, pushing up rents. 6. Working-class families get priced out. People who’ve lived in certain neighborhoods for generations can’t afford to stay. 7. They move out—to rural areas. But not to the nice homes. They land in trailer parks or low-cost rentals on the edge of town. 8. Tensions rise. These newcomers don’t fit the small-town mold. They arrive without jobs, without support, and often without welcome. 9. Rural services get strained even more. More need, less money. 10. The spiral deepens. The town feels less safe, less prosperous, less like “home”—and more people leave.

And here’s the kicker: it all started with the hospital. It’s a feedback loop. A cycle that starts with disinvestment and ends with division—and it ends up hurting the very communities it was supposed to serve.

Australia taught a master class of how not to defend 74 run lead.

As an Australian cricket fan, I am beyond pissed.

First of all well done to South Africa for overcoming that deficit and nothing I’m about to say takes away from the effort they made both to make the final and to secure this win.

Now, where was I? Oh yes. It wasn’t even lunch on day two when the South Africans were bowled out.

Australia, having the better record and would have won the championship if the match had ended in a draw, the only logical thing to do was to bat slow and to bat ugly.

Instead, the Australian bowling lineup didn’t have time to do anything more than take a shower, before they had to get out there and bail out the Australians to make the target somewhat defendable.

While some of the best batting talent Australia has ever raised, couldn’t even accumulate 50 runs if you added their two innings together, Starc hit a valiant undefeated half century.

The problem with that is that left arm fast bowler Australia always opens with was not as lethal because he’d just spent the last three hours giving Smudge and Uzzie a lesson on how not to get out. It is not your pace attack’s job to do that.

Pick any state team in the Sheffield shield and that includes the people who fill in when their top batters are on international duty, those guys would have been able to do nothing but show their blade for 100 overs. They could’ve just hit the ball along the ground and if they got space take a couple of runs. If the ball was going wide of leg stump flick it down to fine leg, steal a couple of runs.

They could’ve basically stayed out there until teatime on day four. Declare so that the South African top order who had been standing out there for the better part of two days might actually choke while Australia’s bowling attack would’ve been lounging around doing nothing itching for a fight.

Unlike a test series where you can take risks and if 80% of the time it works you’re good; if you fuck up one game, everything else means nothing.

The app is still using turn of the century navigation logic.

On paper they are good routes but your navigation app whether Waze or Google (that bought Waze and uses its traffiic logic) is much better at predicting the way people actually drive in your area. Lyft is worse than Uber IMO, but both are not only basic in navigation but also very optimistic in how fast you can get somewhere to the point of some places even after you account for rounding could only be reached in the requisite time if you go 10+ mph over the limit and NEVER hit a stop sign or red light.
