  1. met with family and extended family recently, most of whom i gave physical gold for wedding gifts i informed them their gifts have already 2x-4x in value in the few short years since their wedding. they had no idea. in fact, my sister almost lost hers when she found it in my nieces toy pile, and almost tossed it thinking it was a chocolate coin. i advised her to flip it for cash.
  2. ive always hated this icon set because of the potential ambiguity of the upper icon. red usually means live/recording, so coloring it red implies the mic is on, instead of off/muted. and then the confusion of whether the icon reflects the current state, or whether its the desired state. like it where microsoft actually writes the caption "Mic On". although best would be a pulsing mic icon
  3. CONGRATS TO THE HERO OF THE RACE !
  4. i want to see this guy on the sidelines instead of matthew mccuntaghay
  5. I worked in a software division for a bit and i simultaneously dont understand (its just code) and do understand (the entire organizational apparatus around the software [who dont code] are fucking morons).
  6. Jar of peanut butter is a lot cheaper.
  7. Basically cleaned out LHW. If pay is still based on PPV, hes really got to take on the big dog at HW (Aspinall). And with how shallow that division is, fighting with anyone else not named Tom is arguably easier
  8. that Terminator mode Poatan looked fucking menacing, goddamn. I thought his last fight exposed how stiff and vulnerable he could be, then he comes out and disassembles Ankalaev without taking on a scratch.
  9. The failures are due to some individual cells in the pack. Many of them get repaired by 3rd parties to use as things such as home battery systems. The functioning packs that age down their capacity are directly used for other purposes with lower performance requirements. The fully failed packs are recycled with 90-95% content recovery. So, still lower environmental impact than traditional vehicles that go to the crusher. The most common complaint I've heard about the Kia/Hyundai company is how terrible their dealerships are. My friends attest the same. It's a shame given how good some of their products seem.
  10. I find an unwelcoming aspect of F1 spectating is how much information relevant to the competition is hidden beneath the surface and how little of it surfaces in broadcast TV. If you watch just the race alone, you'll witness a handful of overtaking, and conclude how good drivers are based on the results table. Maybe the commentators will remark on a parts upgrade, or they'll share a snippet of the radio messages here or there. 95% of the juicy stuff has to be gleaned from interviews with driver and team, and in the multiplexing premium F1 stream. Like, Charles finished a respectable P6, but he was told throughout the ENTIRE race to lift and coast. Hamilton was told a similar thing until his breaks failed. There are lots of corner-specific instructions that explains why someone went fast or slow or got passed and you'll just assume a driver is good/bad and never learn the true reason from broadcast or even reading recaps.
  11. 84*/74% is higher heat index than Houston noon today. Add that to a 140* cockpit under a firesuit. George said he lost something like 8-10 lbs of weight due to sweat. This is the same as an MMA fighter does on their last day of weight cutting, where they're literally draped under blankets and biking in sweat suits to the point near exhaustion.
  12. Getting 300Mbit internet service on an intercontinental flight is fucking incredible. Starlink is amazing.
  13. Bucees have one for 6.99. Its orange but you can probably just strip that paint down to the metal.
  14. The airline entertain systems that make you watch their repetitive ads when you start watching any in-flight programming.
  15. Maybe they saved their playbook for us
  16. 9th penalty on the offensive unit
  17. 8th penalty on the offensive unit
  18. 7 penalities, basically all on the offense (especially OL)? total bush league execution
  19. is Texas getting shellacked by DJ Lagway better or worse than Penn State getting clobbered by Nico Ianalover?
