  1. For me, the steering wheel is fine. What I can’t get past is the dashboard just literally being a tacked on screen. I can understand digital gauges, but at least make them gauge shaped! The previous one was a lot better, IMO.
  2. If this happens and Horner also gets replaced (currently rumored, but not sure if I believe it), it would do a lot to making them more likable.
  3. I’m gonna see if I can get a few races in the Alpine, too, since it seems to be a rotating position.
  4. I just got back from Zion and Capitol Reef and was happy to see that their projects were still going along as planned. Total renovation and rehabilitation of South Campground in Zion (and the Emerald Pools bridge is finally almost ready to reopen). Cap Reef is getting the scenic drive totally redone and repaved, and expanding many of the parking areas, including at the visitor center and at Grand Wash.
  5. They are able to keep the tires way cooler than everyone else somehow. There’s some magic going on in their cake tins (the brake cover/air ducting).
  6. Clean air also matters a LOT. Without it he probably would have fallen back.
  7. I use premium on Apple TV to get the 4K HDR feed. It’s been mostly alright aside from it not working last week for a bit.
  8. It’s being asked because Marko has spewed a bunch of shit about it in the past week. Maybe he should tell Marko to STFU instead.
  9. An expanded edition of Live at the Greek was released last month. 10 or so more Zeppelin tracks than the original had (plus the Black Crowes tracks and a few standards).
  10. Christ, he’s such a dick.
  11. Thai ownership loves Horner, so he probably isn’t going anywhere.
  12. I did enjoy the drivers ignoring MBS.
  13. So now Lewis is Robert Horry? Lol. Lmao, even.
  14. Honestly he just cannot come to grips well enough with the ground effect cars. You can’t brake them super late which is his style. They need to brake earlier to start rotating into the corner earlier to get a better corner exit since they don’t have as much low speed downforce (ground effect is more speed dependent). Adami was telling him to brake 10m earlier today which has to feel pretty odd when you’ve braked as late as possible your entire career. Obviously he’s still very good, but is inconsistent. He should do better in general on front-limited tracks. Ricciardo and Checo had the same issues, but they aren’t Lewis Hamilton, so it affected them more. The new 2026 regs are not ground effect based, so hopefully we can see something a bit more exciting and consistent.
  15. Rich Rebuilds style! https://www.thedrive.com/news/43394/worlds-first-v8-swapped-tesla-model-s-is-officially-on-the-road
  16. Where do bad folks go when they die?
  17. Oops, I think I made approximately 37 typos in that post. Excuse my lunch break ramblings.
  18. Like gator said, there’s many, many different drugs, so there can be a spectrum. I took AAVD for Hodgkin‘s Lymphoma. This includes Adcetris (name brand for Brentuximab vedotin), Adriamycin (the ‘Red Devil’), Vinblastine, and Dacarbazine. They will generally give you an antiemetic first, along with Benadryl (this is how I learned that I am allergic to fosaprepitant; the only thing I have ever been allergic to so far in my life). In my case, the only thing that really gave me issues was the Adriamycin. They call this one the Red Devil for a reason (it is also red in color compared to colorless for the order three I took). It sucks. It can also cause mouth sores and thrush, so they suggest sucking on ice to help prevent it. I wound get so nauseous while receiving it that I could not do the ice after a while. Luckily for me I did not develop mouth sores. When you pee it out your pee also looks like rosé, so that’s something, I guess. Speaking as someone who received chemo thru a port in my chest, I didn’t really “feel” anything physically when receiving the actual infusion, except for when they did the port flush with heparin. You could almost taste it in your mouth when they did that. Mostly a kind of saline solution taste. What comes after is the worst part for most people. I was okay for about 1-2 days after, then the heavy nausea and flu-like symptoms set in. These would last about a week for me, sometimes 10 days or so. My chemo cycles were 14 days, so I was lucky if I got a few days of feeling “OK” before starting all over. I also had really bad insomnia for about the first 4 weeks, but luckily that mostly cleared up. I lost my appetite for a while and subsequently lost a lot of weight. I lost a ton of muscle in my lower legs due to motor neuropathy, and still have weakness and nerve damage there and in my hands, which I’ve posted about in here before (I am still improving though). I could actually feel my calves getting tight from the start, and while I mentioned this to my oncologist, if I had known what this meant I would have spoken up about it even more (I did get dosage reduction later in my regimen). That said, some people experience almost nothing except a bit of the flu-like symptoms. Some get to toxicity level and have to stop a drug completely. Some of the drugs can increase chances for other cancers later or damage your heart, lungs, liver, or just about anything, really. There so, so, much more that I have forgotten, and also many, many more things that others experienced that I did not that I could not tell you about.
  19. Yeah, as useful as PET scans can be, they are far from perfect. Radiologists all seem to have different styles, too. “Here’s some areas of moderate SUV. They are probably benign, but who knows, you could still have lots of cancer!” Oh, gee, thanks!
  20. Harry Nilsson.
  21. Well, it was the front suspension that they completely changed (went from pushrod to pullrod), which actually does seem to be working really well. The rear is still a pullrod like it has been for years. It seems like it may possibly be the interaction/mounting to the gearbox case not being rigid enough (the translation is not the best, but is this why Lewis had a gearbox problem in testing?) and it is also mounted right by where the diffuser throat is, so it’s not something that’s easily changed without totally messing with the floor. There was a rumor that they are bringing a different/modified floor either to Japan or Bahrain. If true, maybe the goal is to smooth out the downforce peakiness to reduce the compliance issue on that extreme end of the spectrum (where it would cause the most plank wear), or just make it where it is designed to be run a little higher? Either way you lose a bit of performance. It says they are also working on suspension tuning with the mechanical bits as well. You can “fix” it with that, but it may throw off your balance completely if it’s too drastic a change, or you just lose performance by having to also mess with the front. Who knows. It’s a very fine balance.
  22. Yes, it seems like it is a rear suspension/compliance issue. It’s a dodgy translation from Italian, but all 3 of Donadoni, Duchessa, and Giuliana are credited as authors here which suggests that they are pretty confident about it. https://autoracer.it/it/ferrari-sf25-fondo-cina-aggiornamenti
  23. Also happened to Leclerc that day, ironically.
  24. It’s crazy to me that a stereo tech said that it’s not worth fixing a 2252b. That’s an heirloom piece, honestly. Is he trying to get you to sell it to him??
  25. Sounds like Ferrari raised the car to avoid potential plank wear issues.
