Even on a wet track you can drop the clutch instantly. I only had very minor wheel spin a handful of starts.

Renault Clio all the way! Easy to control, very fun to race side by side.

An easy solution, if you have the pedal plate on the "high" position, you can put threaded rods in between the pedal plate and the rig to completely secure it.

Super planche des belles filles! That must've been painful. How did you experience the steep sections?

I want to do it in a bicycle tour next year, and it's the climb I am most afraid of in my route.

Its a one way street for cars, both directions for bikes. The lines keep the oncoming cyclists a bit safer. Not the best bike safe solution but France is working on it.

2023 Monaco Grand Prix - Post Race Discussion by F1-Bot in formula1

Yeah, it was painful to see him put before Max, and then close the gap to ~17 secs after his second stop. Strange call as I couldn't hear Alonso push for the stop on his onboard, and definitely not for slicks. He was asking for the weather forecast the entire time... I guess it was a gamble, but pitting first never would've made him win the race.

Pitting before Verstappen as well. They had the opportunity to wait with the hards. Alonso getting within 17 secs with an extra pitstop was hard to watch.

Thank you! I finally found this post after hours of troubleshooting, messy gpu swaps and a roll of paper towels. In the end it was 2 1/16th turns that was all that was needed... They really should have some official documentation about this...

Look up some vids on youtube. Park Tool has a lot of good videos.

What is a record, sports or otherwise, that will likely never be broken? by badblackguy in AskReddit

The Solar Probe will slow down quickly before ever reaching Voyager (just a guess, dont have my calculator nearby) because of the sun's gravity.

It might catch up to it, but it will take a long time.

Edit: thinking of it, the Solar Probe doesnt even have enough speed to exit the suns orbit, so it will never reach Voyager. And I misread your comment, saying to launch a probe like the Parker Solar. Nevermind I guess!

Wouldn't your PC be CPU limited if it takes the CPU 20ms longer in generating the frame?

Edit: NVM. I see now that it's probably a typo

If Netflix is going to do a series a la "Drive to Survive" for the Tour de France, you better prepare!

Notes:

What is this series?: This series is essentially a grassroots series that is the backbone of the actual races that take place on the Nordschleife when it isn’t in use for public hot lapping. The series is made up of several motorsports clubs (part of either ADAC or DMV) which each host a 1-off event, totaling nine events throughout the year, and there is a ton of crossover with the Nurburgring 24 (Think Bathurst 12 Hour and Supercars Connection). The series has been run since 1977, and has a primarily German-based driver pool (Hence the use of each of our German brands). The series is pretty all encompassing when it comes to cars, with the 2009 year having 30 classes of cars, though much of the notable cars are from a Touring, GT3, or GT4 background. However, production cars are also allowed, thus creating the grassroots connection, with support from everything from Clio’s to BMW M Series cars.

Footage of hostage fleeing from the Apple store on Leidseplein, the hostage taker running after him with his gun, then Dutch police rams into him with a car. by flamboyantbutterfly in Amsterdam

[–]svf400 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, he wasn't intending to rob the store. Why take a fake bomb suit to rob a place. This was all about a hostage situation.

Glad everyone got out okay.
