The double waved yellows at ford chicane was to allow the marshals to collect some debris from pit in. @RSL_Studio

@TrungTPhan No out of the (garbage) box thinking… Rats get to trash eh? Where’s the comparison analysis of containerization vs releasing an army of rats into the to devour the trash. Pls fix.

It is actually an interesting deck. Just the thought of a 20-year old newly grad getting billed at an obscene rate to say”rats get to garbage” is kinda funny Four more solid slides: — By the numbers (daily garbage = 140 Statue of Liberty a day!!) — City comparison — Container comparison (looks like they did select the “scalable” trash bin) — Curb side analysis Full deck here: dsny.cityofnewyork.us/wp-content/upl…

New York City paid Mckinsey $4m to conduct a feasibility study on whether trash bins are better than leaving garbage on the street. The deck is 95-slides long and titled “The Future of Trash”. Some highlights: ▫️The official term is “containerization”, which is the “storage of waste in sealed, rodent-proof receptacles rather than in plastic bags placed directly on the curb.” ▫️Two main types of containerization: 1) individual bins for low density locales; 2) shared containers for high-density. ▫️NYC needs to clean up 24,000,000lbs of garbage a day ▫️Containerization has only become the norm worldwide in major cities in the past 15 years. ▫️New York City first considered containerization in the 1970s but never conducted a feasibility study until now (Mckinsey’s sales team has been dropping the ball) ▫️Key considerations for container viability: • POPULATION DENSITY: NYC has 30k residents per square mile (more dense than comparable big cities) • BUILT ENVIRONMENT: Few places to “hide” containers due to history of infrastructure development. • WEATHER: Snow creates challenges for “mechanized collection” in the winter. • CURB SPACE: Mostly taken up by bus stops, bike lanes, outdoor dining and fire hydrants. • COLLECTION FREQUENCY: NYC needs to double frequency of pick-up for estimated speed of trash that bins would accumulate. • FLEET: A new garbage truck will needs to be designed to collect rolling bins at scale. ▫️ The proposed solution (literally garbage bins and shared containers) covers 89% of NYC streets and 77% of residential tonnage. ▫️The three case studies — because you gotta have solid case studies — are Amsterdam, Paris and Barcelona. ▫️There is a slide called “Why containerization matters” and three reasons are “rats”, “pedestrian obstruction” and “dirty streets” (the 21-year intern that did this slide billed at prob $10k an hour is my hero). The study is actually pretty interesting. I have no idea if $4m is a rip-off to learn that “yeah, we should put garbage in bins so rats don’t eat it” but I would have happily done it for 10-20% of that budget (and come to a similar conclusion).

@gt2andy @Jaguar What about pulling the fuse that deals with the sensor?

@Carpervert Suggest putting a call into Sarnie on Pistonheads to get his insight and suggestions.

It seems paying regular child maintenance utterly destroys the chances of getting a decent house mortgage. Great. Just great.

What’s the best “Orange” in the auto industry?

Solution to the WEC pit lane length challenge - angle the pit boxes rather than having them parallel to the pit lane & push the cars back to exit. Could probably fit 1.5 cars per existing box. I think British GT do (/did?) this already ?@specutainment @rcracing

Sweet prelude yeah x Sir Ranulph Findanother collab we never knew we needed @sniffpetrol @Carpervert

@sniffpetrol Bet you can’t FIND ANOTHER like it!

No Mr Fawlty, is hamster.

What Auto Trader needs is a check box that says 'silver wheels only'.

@peer_rich What’s the corporate tax rate?

Remote work was a mistake. After two years of being fully remote, we're now going back to in-office. This is a hard task because we need to relocate every team member. Check out our new headquarter and why we are getting back in person. A thread 🧵

@fesshole Paging @sniffpetrol & @Carpervert.

I work for Jaguar Land Rover. It has come to my attention that the circular cat face badge is known internally as a "growler." I now cannot stop laughing any time badges are mentioned in a meeting and have to feign a coughing fit as an excuse to leave.

@specutainment @OllieMillroy IIRC - Hypercar tech regs permit for traction control, no? Calibration issue or a perhaps a different map needed for “out laps on cold days”?

@OllieMillroy Serious question Ollie It seems the 4WD LMH were most affected at Spa. Could it be torque steer on hybrid deployment causing the problem. Fuoco's front wheels were still driving after the first barrier hit, & Brendan's off in qually also looked front initiated. Both V bizarre

Seeing the best Sportscar drivers in the world binning $2million cars in a straight line is not entertainment. It’s ridiculous. Banning tyres warmers to ‘save the planet’ was clearly the wrong move. Saves a can of diesel each weekend, but writes off multiple cars 🤯
