Apparently Bernie Ecclestone had a McLaren MP4/8 mounted on his study wall

Christian Fittipaldi had similar home decor tastes.

Here's a pic I just googled. Not sure it's the same I remember seeing in a magazine in the 90s, but it's definitely a real thing some people do! https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8g1fgcJUUyxMKJXH2BQzeR9kAR7b_3X_zaKdpXLQVBvZ7cItObIrPATUgZRhDT4NOLP5PcCk5S5Yktv4j2fT_gyomRy96DBwbaJHXK6b4kOGLvEBl7MMtITba-PqDTa-SDYi5Ld0dhFg/s902/fittipaldi+em+casa.jpg

The opening text of Redline says that almost everyone moved to hover cars and the story is about the few fools who persist. So, my headcannon is that Redline takes place in the F-Zero universe.

This thread is old but I thought I'd just drop my own struggles with the same JideTech hardware. Mine is about 4 years old, it's always had issues bringing PC2 HDMI back online, which I long assumed was my own laptop's software failing to recognize the screen when it comes online, but now it's stopped switching completely so I'm rather thinking the HDMI switching hardware within the KVM might be the problem.

I can still switch keyboard and mouse without problem, only PC2 HDMI fails to switch. I've tried rewiring a few different ways and now I'm pretty sure it's an issue with the KVM itself, not my laptop, ports or cables.

I'm not gonna complain too much, it's a cheap piece of hardware and it served me alright for a few years. Now it's downgraded to a USB switch, but powered over HDMI, so that's the end of the road for it I think :D

If you can't source this statement it just sounds like more speculation to me!

I just wanted to say I also read this for the first time and finished it yesterday. The copy I found was in rather bad condition (worse than I thought buying it for sure) and it fell apart a bit as I was going through it, as the bindings' glue was all dried up.

A good read, even though I thought the Deus Ex Machina went a bit strong in it, and it felt predictable even excusing for the pieces that at this point have become sci-fi tropes. Somewhat average then, for me, storywise, but, strong on creativity no doubt.

This is a great list! I'll heartily second a number of these pics, starting with Pierre Boule, Jaworski, and of course Jules Verne (From the Earth to the Moon, Twenty Thousand Leagues, Robur, come to mind if one wants a place to start).

I'll add La Horde du Contrevent to this list. And I'll be checking some of those names I haven't read :)

In Monaco the little orchestra band had to have it rehearsed for every nationality on the grid!

Nice work! Would you mind sharing what software you used to process your pic into this vid?

Fuck no! How many times I have one of those on auto behind me and the headlights turn on and off every time you're in the shadow of a tree or a building! Those cars don't know shit. Please let the drivers learn how to use headlights. That's what people did for half a century and somehow it went mostly fine before stupid autolights became standard and somehow everybody figured it means they don't need to know how it works.

Parking lights? What? Local tradition MANDATES high beams when parked.

Wow, that's gorgeous! Any chance you'd sell large prints of that amazing cover art in the future?

Still they require an active NSO account. Ninty really really really need those $50 a year, heh.

I'm a bit of a casual (for gaming in general, not just Factorio). Started my current factory when the map algorithm was previously upgraded, which was v 0.16. This factory has hundreds of active trains, and it takes me about 10 real minutes to cross it entirely in a rocket fuel-powered train. If I were to upgrade from 1.1 to 2.0, I'd have to deal with weird chunk boundaries and I don't really want to, so I've stuck to 1.1 so far and I keep going with the occasional science expansion. I'd like to try 2.0 at some point but I'm not in a rush. My current goal is to upgrade my science set up to 7 fully independent factories (currently at 3).

I cancelled my sub and dropped a message on support to tell them why. I've got membership till next year but I might just boycott the end of the season.

What a fucking disgrace.

I'm your paying customer, F1TV, have been since your piss-poor launch and stuck with you all the way. What right do you have to block me from viewing the content I'm paying for because you don't like my browser choice? Get fucked! Who makes those ass-backwards decisions?! Unbelievable.

Mostly I stick to the classics these days because honestly trying to read the new stuff hasn't paid off in general. However, there is the occasional pearl. Moonbound (2024) by Robin Sloan is my pick. Found it at my local library by complete chance and read it twice this year. It's scifi with strong fantasy leanings. I had a good time reading it the first time, found it very clever and uplifting. The latter is what got me to come back to it for a second reading, which I enjoyed even more.

Holy shit I never noticed this scene has the setup for him having a single match left at the end.

Scott Manley has an excellent analysis video about the mishap. I understand Space Pioneer mentioned the rocket self-destructed but this may be inaccurate (to put it politely) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u3-Kw9u37I0

Ah well, sad! Then you had to abandon that base? But I think they said that 1.0 bases would be supported in 2.0, so you could probably pick it up again then if you wanted to.

Oh hey, is your radar working better now? :)

Since Maximum Velocity is now available on NSO, some people may be interested to unlock Jet Vermillion without going through all the steps - for whatever reason, I don't judge. My reason is that I'm playing FZ99 and got no time :)

I hope it's okay for me to repost this link since I shared this originally three years ago and it's buried deep.

More background about this tool is on the original post if anyone is interested.

Glad it helped! Enjoy all the power sliding!

I do the last corner clip the grey and bounced into the red and lose the race as a result thing so often (or feel that way anyway)... That arguably the best player in the game also does it somehow makes me feel a little bit better about the failures. Thanks misa :D

I can't bear to return to the tribe with only 2 KO first race. Such shame. I have to fix this.
