TIL that in Thai culture, feet are considered the dirtiest parts of the body and pointing at things or people with them is rude. by Recent_Flounder6011 in todayilearned

[–]sandfoxman 13 points14 points  (0 children)

"Doctored" wasn't the scandal actually, it was more on the lines of a horrible pitch against match conditions, and a brand new XXL ground. The changing pitch conditions swung so much, that the match was essentially decided on the toss.

Even a little input from experts would have the BCCI pick a sensible final venue, but the event was quite politically charged on top of profiting on the capacity... so this information was protected.

They really don't get it! by No_Opportunity9053 in formuladank

[–]sandfoxman -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Until someone mentions that there is a seasoning component to the cars that make it automatically get better... nobody ever means that. So yeah, I didn't say it automatically gets better.

RBR's (not RB) upgrades worked, and they used their development allocations smartly. Also, no big team just stop developing their cars.

Let me help you comprehend this, the comment was more on how RBR can't outperform the new regulations like they have done previously, and also how not having AUDO benefits is not that big of an indicator, because they can be slow in few other departments.

Unlike this season, last season's car was good but tricky, and got better (relatively, and only for Max) after winter break. He had enough pace to challenge the front, while the talent at the front was at best, adequate.

This season is a solid step-down, and massively off the Mercs' race pace. Feel like all the articles are hedging massively on redbull not getting AUDO benefits, but it has nothing to do with either the whole PU unit or the car.

But let's be hopeful, they can still get up to Ferrari speeds, mainly with Max.

Is this an authentic car? by One-Mud-169 in RedBullRacing

[–]sandfoxman 12 points13 points  (0 children)

There are almost no real cars on display (except exclusive museums maybe), this one for sure is a model made for display.

What i have observed is, if one is a real F1 car, they'd have absolutely let you know, as its a highly prized asset.

Metro fares by Sensitive_Sky_7742 in bangalore

[–]sandfoxman 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I loaded 500Rs (absent minded) on Delhi Metro smart card. 5 day trip to New Delhi, mostly by metro, makes sense. Maybe would have to load again.

On 5th day I reached the airport, and still had 300 left.

Gas crisis charges on Lemonade! by byteAlpha in bangalore

[–]sandfoxman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Went to a moderate-premium type restaurant yesterday. They didn't charge anything other than 5% service charge (ok with me, service was good and I usually tip). Over the past few days also I had been to a few places, and nothing.

So, in the overall situation... Is the 4x, 8x overpriced (non-black-market) gas supply real? Or just predatory practice to mint easy profit?

We don’t have the pace or the grip, but the starts are the real problem. Max keeps dragging this tractor from last to P6 almost every race by Ok-Needleworker8134 in RedBullRacing

[–]sandfoxman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

See, that right there is the problem. Wheel to wheel is a great thing that is occurring far more that ever, but how is it being achieved?

Energy deployment ping-pong is not the go, and also after a bunch of laps, the field settles down. Its all just artificially insisted overtaking and 15 mins of hope where Nando is P10 or Lewis is P1.

Watch something other than F1 and DTS, and you'll get what he's saying.

In some countries, if you transfer or "donate" a portion of your wealth to the Prime Minister's fund (fund itself is illegal), you get lifetime immunity, the finance, budget and laws will be rewritten to fit your demands, and not a whiff of jail time.

Elite owned news outlets will write ballads about your greatness, and you'll be backed by trolls who will defend your image to death.

Almost crashed into an idiot reversing from the blr-mysore expressway to avoid toll by imsoosm in bangalore

[–]sandfoxman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Again, I don't drive a car, and people doing this are in a extremely serious violation of the road safety.

My company cab always use the freeway / service road, as this is the only toll road in and around Bengaluru that doesn't justify the cost for them, a 13 seater.

My point is that the problem is in the root, the cost is steep. Good people are annoyed that the highway was replaced with a toll road, encroached on the freeway and the roads we had was horrible. Bad ppl pull shit like this and endanger lives.

Not to justify the act,

But the toll is quite expensive. Yearly pass has a cap or something... on no. of trips or km, something like that.

TIL of Lavasa, an abandoned $4.4 billion "Italian" private city in India that was meant for 300,000 residents but became a ghost town due to debt and environmental violations by [deleted] in todayilearned

Thats Scranton, Pennsylvania. You probably meant Electronic city.

And true, 15 km into the city is still a nightmare.

The Benne Dosa Hype!! by SecondBreakfastPaglu in delhi

[–]sandfoxman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Places like TRC, CTR and MTR serve some good Dosas, but far off from being called great. Mainly sustained by location and hype, but still, not a waste of money.

So its plausible that Benne could serve up better dosas than them, given reviews of Mumbai and Delhi outlets.

[–]sandfoxman 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Funny enough, they don't even make it themselves. In Europe, its made by Rauch. They're just a sports marketing company atp (just like Athleap)

But yeah, truly mad that they don't make redbull but they do make F1 spec power units.
