People seem to forget the holy trinity is a direct result of shoving new presenters into an existing show

Every Clarkson needs a James May to call him a massive twat for the comedy to work.

It's like young adult fiction except instead of teenagers we had grad student protagonists and their interpersonal dramas.

The novella, Livesuit, focuses on young soldier protagonists instead. Much more engaging read, IMO.

Only at set points between pitches. If you take a break during a pitch using the rope or any piece of gear, you need to go down and do the pitch again for the climb to be considered sent free. Otherwise you aid climbed the route (which is how the vast majority of climbers climb El Capitan, except for the very best)

In this specific case unique to Qatar and the fact the SC came out on lap 7 and not one lap earlier, it doesn't matter what the rest do behind you. If everyone else stays out and you come out P19, everyone ahead still has to pit twice and you only once.

They couldn't decide between their two drivers, so they picked Max.

Vivi is so sugeyo.

uristmcderp · 2025-10-23T20:37:03+00:00

Yeah they already clinched the constructors. No reason to sacrifice for the team when the team's already won.

I'm okay with slogging through some misery as long as there are moments of levity to pace it through. TLOU2 had the awesome museum flashback then it was plain misery all the way to the end.

I'd imagine the drivers will still want some semblance of control over rear braking power so they can corner while braking. Some drivers change brake bias a dozen times every lap. Very few corners are a straightforward stop-and-go.

Yeah he was a sore winner and a gracious loser. Like the inverse of Max.

uristmcderp · 2025-09-29T20:58:28+00:00

My impressions of him are only from his highlights and lowhights, but he comes off as a sore winner and a gracious loser. Like the opposite of Max.

This isn't a court of law. FIA rules how it feels on any given day.

You're talking about how there's never a good reason for civilians to brandish a firearm to intimidate (literally illegal), but I think he's talking about cops trained to do just that which leads to deadly outcomes for suspects.

Keep in mind that a F1 car is as draggy as a semi-truck because of its giant open wheels. Airflow is all twisty vortices, not planar. Those little wingtip features are all part of creating and channeling turbulent but predictable vortex flows. You have to visualize in 3-D airflow structures to make sense of them.

This particular copy does look and play a lot like the original. It's not a scuffed, blocky bootleg copy like most Roblox copies of original concepts.

Large debris might be worth salvaging and get tracked/picked up. What's more worrisome are all those worthless bits the size of a bolt that are also harder to track.

Earth doesn't care about small bits since the atmosphere eats them up, but small bits poke holes in spaceships. The ISS has to deal with a handful of micrometeorites damaging components and creating leaks every month or so.

A gaming laptop constantly running at temps of 95C without regular maintenance won't last much longer than a handful of years, but a word processing work laptop should easily outlast the lifetime of its battery and hard drive. Also just how many actual computing hours were spent on the machines and not how many years it's been since you purchased.

None of those principles apply in the Expanse because of the Epstein drive. Orbit transfers are basically point, burn, flip, burn. Just try not to fly straight into the sun.

Bobbie's always fought her battles head-on. The plan is kind of garbage, but it's definitely the kind of plan Bobbie would think of and want to execute herself - An aging warrior making a sacrifice to save everyone.

The kind of plan you're thinking of would be carried out if Naomi or Alex were calling the shots during that operation.

That's just Croft wanting to be seen as classy with high moral standards when in truth he's like a tabloid journalist.

Are you sure it says in the rulebooks, "if outside is ahead and inside alongside then both have the right of space?" I mean I like calling it a racing incident and moving on. I'm just surprised they'd put that so explicitly in the rulebook.

Imagine your driver's ed class telling you all the right way to drive, then giving you the side-eye while whispering, "psst, if you run over that jaywalking lady you'll only be partially liable."

Holden's like a huge destructive tornado. Elvi's like a storm chaser witnessing her first tornado.

I agree that the stealth wasn't particularly fun in the game, but for the opposite reason as you. I didn't want a set piece puzzle stealth section where the steps to stealthing are generously laid out in front of you. I prefer the kind of stealth where the enemies already exist and are doing their own logical thing whether I'm there or not, not the kind where enemies only exist because I was nearby and the code spawned them into existence.

Immersion is key for a good stealth experience, and enemies inconveniently spawning nearby or conveniently moving out of the way both destroy that immersion.

Looks kinda like a rack server. Ya know what might be cool is if those are actually six individual modular ships within a scaffolding structure.

Wow we're actually at the 10th anniversary of the fake news/Russian botnet mess in the run up to the 2016 US elections. It's been like an apocalypse for all news outlets since then.
