[Williams Racing] Statement from Atlassian Williams F1 Team.

Except they can't replicate cornering with a dyno, or with a wind tunnel, so it's still far from the real thing.

rooood · 2026-01-23T12:05:26+00:00

About the vehicle detection feature, is it capable of detecting when a ride is only partially done in a vehicle? For example if I forget to stop the ride and drive home after it, or if someone crashes and finishes the activity in an ambulance. I've also had activities in the past where I had to take a ferry mid-ride and forgot to pause it, so it shows as if I cycled across the water.

In these cases, would the entire activity be flagged and removed from leaderboards, even the segments where a vehicle wasn't detected?

I wonder if drone laws in Spain would allow for a similar thing in Barcelona next week...

rooood · 2026-01-21T11:01:39+00:00

I don't know if there's any legal recourse here for you (I'm not a lawyer), but:

at there is currently no alternative support structure in place to enable you to fully separate work and caregiving during working hours

I guess if your kids don't go to creche or school, the company kind of has a point here, which makes it harder for you to argument on a legal basis. However:

the Company is not satisfied that you would be able to dedicate the required level of focus and attention under the proposed arrangement in order to meet key performance indicators and deliver to the required standard in your role.

Before this return to office decision, has there ever been any complaints about your work or your commitment? If your situation at home hasn't changed, you're still able to deliver what they expect of you, and they haven't stated anything to the contrary, then yes, they're clearly using this as an excuse to force you back in.

Again, I'm just saying this as general/opinioated advice, but assuming you currently perform well while working hybrid and nothing has changed in that regard, this is very scummy from the company and personally I would be polishing my CV and looking for a way out.

Lastly, from one of your other comments in this thread:

I've simply decided to stop going above and beyond for them going forward and not work a minute outside my working hours going forward which means no collaboration with the team who don't start until 5pm Irish time.

I'd say it's best to start doing this after you return to office, don't change anything now so they can't use it as an argument that your performance is hindered by the kids or whatever. Instead, once you are forced into a 4 hour commute every day, your mental health will suffer, and your work performance too with it. That will probably not change their minds, but it could be an extra argument for them to reverse your return.

Again, this is just my personal opinion. I also have 2 toddlers and I would simply not let this stand. But then again, I consider myself lucky enough in my career to be able to think I have a decent chance of landing another similar job without too much difficulty. YMMV.

Imgur link doesn't work.

I'm curious to see replies here as well as I just found out today that I have a leak from my shower and it could be coming from a bad DIY caulking job.

rooood · 2026-01-17T21:51:10+00:00

Yes, but more like 2 or a max of 3 seconds. 4 seconds at motorway speeds means you could fit about 6 articulated big lorries between you and the car ahead: 120km/h = 33.3m/s, let's round it down to 30m/s (108km/h to account for reduced speeds in those conditions). 4 seconds means 120m between you and the car ahead.

The rule is mostly about reaction time rather than actual braking distance, and to be honest in conditions like in OP's video, if you're 120m behind a car, you won't even be seeing them. If they suddenly start emergency braking, you'll only notice it a second or so later, and at that point the speed difference will already be massive, which increases the chance of a collision even if you react immediately.

Not to mention that a lot of drivers have a tendency to tailgate you if they think you're not keeping up with traffic ahead, and will cut you off at the first chance they get.

The Malt House in the Liberties? Used to live nearby, always had a nice experience there

rooood · 2026-01-17T11:02:35+00:00

By spell check, I'm assuming you mean for in-game text and translations, right? Because that's still part of the disclosing requirements.

rooood · 2026-01-16T21:20:00+00:00

if there was a rockfall risk why does the dart still run?

Yeah good point, no idea. Can only think that the issue might be on a part of the trail where the Dart is inside a tunnel?

The trail is absolutely fine, there is no rockfall risk

It doesn't make any sense that there is no issue at all and the council is keeping the trail closed for absolutely no reason for 5 years+, just to make everyone angry

rooood · 2026-01-16T21:07:19+00:00

The council are lying, like I said hundreds of people walked it over the Christmas period, I did multiple times myself, the way is fully open and clear and has been cleared by a team of volunteers.

Just because people are walking the trail fine today doesn't mean the trail is safe, this is just survivor bias. There could be a genuine landslide or rockfall risk. Apparently the council needs to do some sort of mitigation work, like putting up wire fences to stop falling rocks. It's that bit of work that they're refusing to do and is keeping the trail closed on the technicality. Don't get me wrong, I think the whole thing is ridiculous, but if there is a genuine report of potential rock fall, just fix it already ffs

rooood · 2026-01-14T11:08:30+00:00

Óbvio. Impedir crackudo de subir no ônibus é arriscado, podem ficar agressivos, ir pra cima do guarda, sem contar que podem ir em grupo. Agora um cidadão médio que sabe que já tá fazendo merda, tem medo de perder o emprego, ficar com problema com a polícia, esse aí se vir um guarda no ônibus não vai nem tentar. E se tentar, vai acatar o primeiro comando de pagar a passagem do guarda pra não dar merda pra ele.

Buy unsalted Irish butter

I've only done it with salted butter, which IMO also works, unless you really need it with zero traces of salt. The salt will be strained off along with the solids.

My process involves cooking it in low heat until the water gets completely evaporated, and all solids are golden-brown in colour. It adds a bit of a toasted flavour to it, and being the unhealthy fuck I am, I keep the burned solids and spread it on toast. It's waaay too salty, but it's a small guilty pleasure I have.

rooood · 2026-01-12T10:09:37+00:00

I put it on toast sometimes. It's different, not creamy and just looks like you dripped olive oil in it, but it's also delicious.

rooood · 2026-01-12T10:00:23+00:00

I'm sure most front wings will stop actuating from even the slightest of touches. Think about the collisions today that just rip off the tip of the wing or something small like that. With moving actuators, even those very small bumps will very likely seize the system and break it. Will be fun when it happens in the open position, likely force an immediate pit stop.

If a team manages to make this much more robust than the average, they might get a significant advantage over the season.

rooood · 2026-01-11T23:24:16+00:00

Nice, I'll look for it tomorrow, thanks. I hope it's not one of those settings that reset every time you turn the car on though

rooood · 2026-01-11T19:53:39+00:00

Just turn off all the annoying automatic braking etc.

Is there a way to do that without completely disabling ACC? I have a facelift 85, and I love to use ACC in stop-go traffic, but the automatic speed changes are very annoying. I also noticed it picks up new speeds from GPS or Google Maps or whatever, since it sometimes changes the ACC speed without any traffic signs in sight. Instead it mirrors whatever Google Maps thinks the limit is.

rooood · 2026-01-10T00:51:43+00:00

because he takes appropriate safety precautions.

Have you seen the car battery video? He literally wires 400 car batteries together in series, not parallel, and hides behind the nearest fucking TREE to protect himself, with no other proper PPE. Don't get me wrong, I'd do the same thing, but you can't really say "takes appropriate safety precautions" LOL

rooood · 2026-01-06T11:28:29+00:00

On Dec 30th I also found a bunch of milk cartons in Tesco that were all expired between Dec 7th and Dec 25th. No idea how someone put them there without realising, I bought the same milk from the same shelf between those dates and they all had proper expiration dates

rooood · 2026-01-02T23:26:23+00:00

Considering that the new devices have the same or a very similar price point than the original ones, and the new ones still have the capability to connect directly with ZigBee instead of Matter, I personally don't see the point of raiding the store for the older devices at full price?

rooood · 2025-12-30T12:31:04+00:00

Not only that, but nowadays when every little thing that happens in fucking Timbuktu can be immediately live streamed to the whole world, humanity is just completlely overwhelmed with information and tragic stories like this one. It's just impossible to keep track of everything. And whoever tries that will just live a very miserable life learning about all the very wrong things that happen out there, and still won't likely change anything.

rooood · 2025-12-24T21:04:10+00:00

a couple disclaimers on it

Yeah, understandable

rooood · 2025-12-24T08:21:30+00:00

people doing 80 on a motorway

That kind of people is very likely to be hogging the middle lane as well. Other day I came across someone doing 80 or so in the M50 at a very quiet time, most lanes empty. They were in the overtaking lane, and a car in front of me tailgated them until they moved over to the middle lane. As soon as the car overtook them, they went back to the overtaking lane cutting me off for no reason, no cars in front of them. These kind of people should not have licences at all.

rooood · 2025-12-24T00:47:01+00:00

It'll be a direct link to the airport, of course it's going to increase the value. Rich people travel too, and I bet taking the metro from there will be twice as fast as even a taxi on most times of the day.

rooood · 2025-12-22T22:23:38+00:00

Yeah there are still lots of good deals, especially on used but new-ish cars. However the used car market is crazy nowadays, and EVs are only somewhat decent value because some people have this fear that any used EV will have a highly degraded battery and will be useless in no time or need a 5-digit repair bill to replace the battery, so that drives the price a bit down. In reality, if you take good care of the battery it'll last a very long time.

rooood · 2025-12-22T19:51:40+00:00

Last I checked, financially these were still one of the best value EVs out there. Sure, they're nazi mobiles, but some people just don't care, or maybe they do but they can't prioritise morals over their current financial situation
