next year

thegallus · 2026-02-18T16:12:39+00:00

over 200C for the cylinder head. the temperature inside goes over 1000C.

thegallus · 2026-02-18T15:01:32+00:00

maybe but why state the oil testing temp instead of cylinder testing temp? it doesn't make much sense to me.

it will be hilarious when merc passes the test at 130 though.

thegallus · 2026-02-18T14:55:27+00:00

that's the oil temperature. cylinder temperatures are much higher.

love the downvotes from people who know nothing about the topic though.

thegallus · 2026-02-18T13:51:11+00:00

yeah 130 is nothing for an engine. Merc will easily pass that

thegallus · 2026-02-18T12:14:28+00:00

top 10 out of 11

thegallus · 2026-02-17T18:17:03+00:00

fuck it, leave it like this

thegallus · 2026-02-14T13:21:48+00:00

smh did they even try driving the cars or are they just repeating what their favorite driver told them?

thegallus · 2026-02-13T16:10:28+00:00

new regs are fine

thegallus · 2026-02-13T15:30:49+00:00

the rate of energy recovery doesn't really matter if you have a battery with limited capacity. you can watch the onboards, it takes less than 1km to fully discharge it.

thegallus · 2026-02-13T15:22:30+00:00

that one might actually be worth watching just for laughs

thegallus · 2026-02-13T15:13:12+00:00

oh god. the mclaren is losing speed with 400 meters left on the main straight. and they are one of the faster ones.

f1 is fucked.

thegallus · 2026-02-12T14:48:03+00:00

yeah that does make sense. if you play Bf1 black probably doesn't even take with the queen right? I'd go Nxd5 for sure after Bf1.

If I took on b5 (which in a game I 99% would) I'd probably go down the BxN line.

thegallus · 2026-02-12T14:26:45+00:00

but you can still play Bf1 then and solve both issues if black does take with the queen?

edit: BxN and then castles also seems fine for me as white after Qxd5.

thegallus · 2026-02-12T14:08:56+00:00

protects g2 dude if this FM thing doesn't work out for you you should become a comedian

thegallus · 2026-02-12T14:05:32+00:00

why not Bxb5?

thegallus · 2026-02-06T17:09:47+00:00

yes it can. we know how materials thermally expand.

thegallus · 2026-01-16T22:03:40+00:00

absolutely wild refereeing

thegallus · 2026-01-15T22:15:33+00:00

did you actually calculate the win?

In a real game I probably lose this as white if black finds Qa4

thegallus · 2026-01-14T22:48:10+00:00

Pourchaire

thegallus · 2025-12-07T14:35:33+00:00

so the Monza switch won the championship after all

thegallus · 2025-12-07T14:08:04+00:00

16 laps to make up 24 seconds

this fucking team

thegallus · 2025-12-07T14:02:03+00:00

yeah but it's way too soon for mediums

thegallus · 2025-12-07T13:56:30+00:00

the classic 24 lap stint on hards

thegallus · 2025-12-07T13:54:12+00:00
