  1. this may be the single funniest line i have ever read on this website.
  2. this should just become your profile pic at this point. i get the point you are trying to make, but if you don't think its a problem to beta test self driving software, which only is using cameras + AI, on the roads in general - i think we are going to have to continue to agree to disagree this isn't a "it's bad for drunk people to drive" discussion, it's a "beta testing full self driving on the roads is bad" discussion.
  3. Dittman may not be him, but this shit is hilarious. that IG screenshot on the left was posted on 3/22 lol

    i still like BDSY, but the rest? yes. they should have kept the name and moved it elsewhere with the new captain and co
  5. the difference between TDZ/THZ and Sweet Spot is huge. and i say this as someone who likes Monty a ton. glad the ratings are working out for them, and if they think that's a long term solution - then good luck - but it is a monumental step down in quality across the board.
  6. you are going to have to believe me and everyone else here - vision only is a dead end. not enough inputs. there is a reason that every other company on the planet going down this direction is going down it with multiple inputs not vision only. Tesla literally cannot hit Level 5 Self Driving with their current setup. they can call it whatever they want, but it is not possible from a technical standpoint.
  7. check in a few weeks? lol i just want to point this out that he has had the literal shit kicked out of him as the second driver in the car for each of the 3 full years he has been in it in two of the three years that they have been in the same vehicle, PER could have doubled his point total and still finished behind Max. doubled! 2021 he finished 4th in the constructors championship, almost 200 points behind 2nd (HAM) and was 36 points behind BOT for 2nd. he won 0 races. Lewis won 8, BOT won 1. BOT finished 36 points ahead of him despite having 4 retirements and MB treating him exclusively like a 2nd driver and doing a bunch of testing on his engines/engine modes to help HAM 7x vs Checo's 2 2022 he finished 3 points off of LEC for 2nd, despite LEC having an additional retirement. he won 2 races, LEC won 3. LEC had 3 retirements to Checo's 2. 2023 he didn't grab 2nd place until HAM was disqualified at COTA. despite having a vehicle that was miles better than the Mercedes, he still only beat HAM by 50 total points. he had 4 second place finishes in what was very very very clearly the 2nd best car on the grid. Alonso had 3. Lando had 5 2nds. LEC had 3. in the last ten races of the year, he had 2 podiums. NOR had 5. i get what you are talking about, but no. he has never put any pressure on Max. even this year, even today with 3 races under his belt he is not 2nd in the WDC (1 point behind LEC, 6 points ahead of Sainz) PER is incredibly lucky he signed his renewal in Monaco last year. i think if he had held off until the summer break i think they go a different direction.
  8. you should put what you can in the oven then the rest in the cooler. it will make a huge difference, seriously. i think i could fit 2-3 easily in my regular sized oven after shrinkage but i typically do a more aggressive trim than most. this is the way. preheat the cooler - i would go longer than 10 min but that's me fill the empty space. the temp is going to drop a good bit, but if you do what you can in the oven and the rest in the cooler you should be fine. i would absolutely not pull at 195 though. cook them to done then rest. you will wish you had done this if you don't. how many are total you talking about here? if you are using a cooler maybe see if you can borrow a large(er) rotomolded cooler from a friend and do it that way?
  9. for 5 races it was close, then Checo shit the bed worse than any driver over the last decade. in a car that was drastically better than anything else in the field - Max clinched 1st with 7 races left. Checho didn't clinch 2nd until after the race at COTA, and only then clinched because Lewis got disqualified. even then..."pressure" lol
  10. again costco is awesome for this (same for sams) on a cost standpoint. BUY A BUNCH.
  11. going to spoiler this, but realize none of this is judgemental just trying to be educational again - no judgement here around what you end up doing or organic vs non organic or formula vs breast feeding. just trying to educate. don't let fucking anyone bully you around formula vs breast feeding. nurses at hospital will ask but that's only because they have to. if you go exclusive formula feed from day 1 there is no downside to the baby. if you want more info on the "value" of breast feeding Emily Oster touches a bunch on it in Cribsheet be ready for the olds to ask you what you are doing, folks you don't know, everyone. EVERYONE HAS AN OPINION. just lie to their faces if they are old, you don't know them well and they ask - just say you are breastfeeding the baby
  12. incredible https://decrypt.co/223265/elon-musk-asks-why-vitalik-buterin-left-twitter this is the founder of ETH who is using TWTR less and less and the guy really hits the nail on the head
  13. i use those swaddles, there are a million of them now and the brand doesn't really matter. but what 100% does matter is that you get the style like that one above with the 2 ears on it. NOT the style where it's one piece. you want this style, and i like the comfy cub ones: NOT THIS STYLE: when you wash/dry them it curls up and makes it much less useful. - re: owlet - we got a great deal on one when kid #1 was born and little, wife used it a good bit. we have used it 0 times in 5 months with kid #2. its a nice thing to have but it's annoying as hell to actually use on a day to day basis. - re: monitor - i very strongly recommend the eufy spaceview pro. it uses basically the same cam and doesn't require a network which is a live saver. it also has a large battery on the monitor and you can turn it off while still having the sound on. if you need something network connected just get a cheap cam and use that. but not having to have wifi makes life SO MUCH EASIER when you are anywhere that isn't home - and even at home you don't have to worry about if the network goes down for a few minutes, etc. you can add a second cam to the setup. https://www.amazon.com/eufy-Security-BabyCare-SpaceView-Ultra-Long/dp/B08G8MBWZ8 - other specific things/recs you didn't ask for but that i am going to recommend anyway these specific muslin burp cloths - buy a million of them. you can't have enough. don't get distracted by the copper pearl ones or the thick ones or those that look good. these are the shit, these specific comfy cub ones. https://www.amazon.com/Muslin-Burp-Cloths-Baby-Boy-Girl-Burping/dp/B08CBJ2SSQ/ the ubbi steel diaper pail. don't use the ones that require a specific brand of bags for it. this uses kitchen trash bags. shit is gonna smell no matter what. put it in a dog pop bag, then drop it in here and it makes a huge difference. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00821FLT4/ you will get a ton of recommendations on baby bottles: we tried a bunch and ended up with the boon nursh system. it's all interchangeable, you have different sized nipples, you can use sippy cup lids, they have a straw conversion top lid - you can buy individual pieces too. very highly recommend them if you end up using formula, just buy one of the formula mixing pitchers, there are a bunch of them that are all basically the same. makes life SO EASY. also if end up on formula, buy from costco/sams. the dollar difference per OZ is shocking and you will pay for the costco membership out of your formula savings alone in the first 30 days of having it. final recommendation: buy the longhorn wubbanub now so you have it when you go to the hospital lol https://www.amazon.com/WubbaNub-W32331-Longhorn-Bull-Pacifier/dp/B0028J2EQY
  14. this is a poorly done AI generated photo, just to be clear
  15. how long are you talking about holding? you get diminishing returns at a certain point - like 10ish? hours i do the long rest in the oven, turn it as low as it will go and sleep well. don't have to worry about anything that way - i do this with the foil boat method but it is absolutely fine with peach paper. just remember to pull it from oven early and let it cool to cutting/eating temp on the counter - don't pull it, it then cut it immediately. you will never do another one without the long rest, it makes a huge difference.
  16. i mean, are we going to sit here and say he would have won yesterday if Max's car didn't die under him? because that's quite a leap. Wins matter, sure, but so does overall performance. Last year LEC had 2x as many podiums (6) as Sainz did (3) - in 2022 LEC had 11 podiums and 3 wins, SAI had 9 podiums and 1 win. LEC beat him by 62 points in the same car. even with the win last year for SAI, LEC still had a better avg finish and out qualified him 14-8 and had 5 pole positions vs SAI's 2. in 2022 he out quali'd him 16-6. in 2021 LEC out quali'd him 14-8. Leclerc has been the better driver in the car during their time as teammates, even with his brain farts and Sainz having 2 wins - based on points at least. re: 2023 Singapore Singapore last year was easily the worst race for RBR since the the 2022 Bahrain double DNF. only time last year Max didn't finish on the podium and both Red Bulls were knocked out in Q2, article said this was the first time since 2018 that neither Red Bull made it to Q3. RBR came in with subpar to bad setup, couldn't get it fixed (article said they brought a new floor and then they reverted back to the old floor for FP3, quali and the race? brough new wing changes too), made bad strategy calls during the race and got unlucky (strategy was to hope for a safety car for a cheap pit stops + tire strategy), and then paid for it by finishing 5th and 8th. per Horner: lap time comparison: race chart: https://www.racefans.net/2023/09/17/analysis-why-red-bull-believe-verstappen-could-have-been-right-in-the-game/ until the last stint (Max on new Mediums, Carlos on 20 lap old Hards) Max basically never was running a faster lap time than Carlos - even then Carlos was holding the field up as part of the strategy. once again, subpar setup considering how dominate they were the rest of the season. Sainz led every lap of the 23 Singapore GP, Max had 6 laps total in the top 5. Checo had 3. RBR had no laps in the top five after lap 27 of a 62 lap race. Sainz did everything he could with the car and deserved the 23 Singapore GP win and yesterday's win for sure. but acting like he outdueled Max to win either race is incorrect.
  17. they are expecting ~150k visitors in Gillespie County Kerrville specifically is expecting +100k people (up to +150k) i've heard expectation of ~+20 to +30k in Mason (total county population <5000) Kendall County is expecting +50k visitors San Antonio is expecting double the occupancy vs the same weekend last year. AUS is telling people to get to the airport 2.5 hours early for domestic flights. lots of backroads, sure, but an incredible # of people driving in because of how close Austin and San Antonio (and even places like Houston) are to the totality. that's without adding in things like Waze which will route folks on those backroads due to how busy the main roads are.
  18. yeah, give it time for full green up and then cut it high (1/3rd rule)
  19. oh man, i have a very hard time saying that about someone who has never finished better than 5th in the constructors championship, and only beaten the brakes off his teammate once since he left Toro Rosso (he smoked the hell out of Kvyat in 2017 54-5) was smoking 19 year old rookie Lando last year, LEC had 2x as many podiums and outscored him despite SAI winning a race. the year before that LEC beat him by 62 points. the year before that he beat LEC by 5.5 points and LEC had a DNS from pole at Monaco and another retirement while SAI finished every race. SAI is good, clearly, but at non backmarker teams he has very rarely been noticeably better than his teammate. he's consistent and that has a ton of value but at this point i think basically all of the top teams would take LEC over SAI. last year Leclerc, Alonso, Norris scored scored higher in WCC than Sainz. Hamilton beat Sainz by 34 points in a much worse car in 22 Russell and Leclerc beat Sainz (LEC by 62 points) Sainz is a very good race day driver and will do well the rest of his career. but if i am starting a team i am happy to take the higher upside of someone like LEC or RUS (british version of LEC honestly) or even ALO over Sainz. i think h2h Sainz gets more out of the Red Bull than Perez. i think he's easily a top ~5 driver with Max, Leclerc, etc. but 2nd? not in my eyes. much closer to 5th than 2nd.
