@chrisrea88 @Dallocles That only holds if you ignore the massive heating effect of the sun through the windows.

@Dallocles That “infrastructure designed to “trap heat” is also designed to keep heat (and cold) out . That’s how insulation works….so what your saying makes no sense

Fucks sake i'm sick of UK weather discourse let this be the first and last I speak on it. I've lived in the UK and Utah, which is a very dry heat. The UK is worse, despite being lower. Why? We're an island, it's very humid, it's like trying to breathe through a damp towel. 1/2

@willowsqueak If you get off the train at Rotherham first for half an hour, Sheffield will feel like the promised land when you get there.

how exactly does one go about getting ready for sheffield. is anyone ever truly prepared for sheffield

@WebUndefeated Be on the high side if those suspension systems are 30k, never mind 300k. Slop spreading AI account.

Watch this $300,000 suspension system delete a 5,000lb impact.💥

@oscgoat Excuse me, I think you'll find that's the universal gesture for "I'm going for 1st!"

this is killing me colapinto probably watched this and threw up

@aakashgupta What a word salad of technical bullshit.

Bugatti just lost its all-time speed record. To the Chinese EV in this video. 308 mph at Papenburg, on a battery. The Chiron Super Sport had held the record for six years. 1,600 hp, 8.0L W16, four turbochargers. Bugatti needed every horse of that to hit 304 mph. BYD's Yangwang U9 Xtreme did 308 with four electric motors and a battery pack. Marc Basseng, the driver, won the Nürburgring 24 Hours. He said the run was "technically not possible with a combustion engine." He's right. A combustion engine produces a power curve that peaks at a specific RPM and falls off either side. Past 9,000 RPM the valves float, the connecting rods stretch, the pistons can't reverse direction fast enough. The W16 is the absolute thermodynamic ceiling of 100 years of internal combustion. Every mph past 290 cost exponentially more engineering for diminishing returns. The U9 Xtreme uses four electric motors. Each produces 744 hp. Each spins to 30,000 RPM. No valves. No pistons. No connecting rods. Total system output is 2,978 hp, almost double Bugatti's W16. Power-to-weight is 1,217 hp per tonne. The motors were never the hard part. Mate Rimac said this years ago. The constraint was always the battery, because to deliver 2,978 hp into four wheels you have to discharge faster than any production EV ever has. BYD built the world's first 1,200-volt production car. Everyone else uses 800V. The Blade Battery runs lithium iron phosphate cells with a 30C discharge rate, ten times what a conventional EV battery handles. Heat generation falls 67% versus 800V at matching output. That last number is the whole game. Heat is what kills high-power EV runs. Other automakers derate within seconds at full power because the battery cooks itself. BYD's architecture lets the Xtreme hold maximum discharge long enough to actually approach the aerodynamic limit of the chassis. Bugatti spent 20 years engineering the W16 to its physical ceiling. BYD spent 18 months building the architecture that cleared it. They're making 30 of them. The crown for fastest production car on Earth has belonged to Bugatti, Koenigsegg, Hennessey, SSC. All combustion, all European or American. The crown is Chinese now, and it runs on a battery.

@NoContextBrits The cook.

What’s missing from this breakfast?

@RespectfulMemes I think you'll find it waited until the rain stopped...

@Maxarick Yea well, first they tried to connect by Bluetooth and when that failed they sent the an Email...

So the problems on this mission were: - broken toilet - Outlook not working - unable to pair a Bluetooth device - communication with a vessel that's 20m away

@liam43102 @JabroniTV They're absolutely dire, I'll never complain about the UK rail system again after years of DB. Even when they're not late the trains are noisy, rattly and ride like cattle carts

@JabroniTV DB’s long distance punctuality in the 2025 was 60%, which surprisingly is worse than the UK 😂

I completely agree this is high fare. But this is a supply and demand issue. If the fare was £50 you wouldn’t physically be able to get on the train. We need more capacity in the UK.

@fia Seen by anyone with two eyeballs since you released the regs, but hey, wait and see until after someone gets seriously hurt, eh?

Following the accident involving Oliver Bearman at the Japanese Grand Prix and the contribution of high closing speeds in the accident, the FIA would like to provide the following clarifications. #FIA #F1 #JapaneseGP

@mejh80081355Arg @Shaunthebanned1 @peterrhague You can get switched ones too

@Shaunthebanned1 @peterrhague Down side of those is that the USB is always on.

The emperor of electrical sockets laughs at your inferiority

@thegregzilla @thelastrosbif @PerryALPHA Absolutely is not, I can't stand sauce on fried chicken

@thelastrosbif @PerryALPHA It is exactly how it works. Texture is texture. It means something. The texture of this particular chicken is the exact same sauce or not. There is absolutely no difference.

Cannot eat food with sauce over due to autism

@Hunter_Wofford Looks like a normal day...

wild scenes in kenya rn. dirty.

Someone smoke a kipper, see if he comes back in the morning for breakfast. Rest In Peace, and thanks for the laughs.

Earlier today I was informed of the passing of @realrobgrant .i am in total shock.He was one of the funniest people I’ve ever met. A visionary. My heart goes out to his family and friends. The impact he and Doug had on the course of my life is immeasurable RIP ROB

@zebleckAI Needs some way to reconnect to games when you DC out. Also still *very* laggy on FF

The first 4 player game of TinyRTS started! Aaaand it crashed... Fix should be live in 10 minutes. Always test in prod💪

@UnskullSam @ThisIsFormu1a1 Yep, completely unrelated bullshit for clicks. F1 twitter has been ruined this year by all the accounts like this.

@ThisIsFormu1a1 FFS hire a writer with technical knowledge that actually understands the regulations. That word salad is like a two year old attempting physics🤦‍♂️

🚨| New mystery on engines: the FIA prohibits a solution, but since 2027: — The FIA has recently clarified the regulations regarding engine plenums, banning a specific solution for 2027. This decision follows the controversy over Mercedes' alleged increased compression ratio, highlighting the complexity of current engine regulations. — In December, the FIA amended technical regulations, specifying that compression ratio measurements must be taken at room temperature. This change coincided with the Mercedes case, suggesting a strategic move to address potential loopholes in the rules. — The Federation also clarified that plenums, which are air collection volumes before combustion, can be more than two per engine, potentially one for each cylinder. This clarification aims to prevent varied interpretations of the rules. — Additionally, the FIA expanded the list of materials allowed for plenums to include steel, aluminum, and titanium alloys for 2026, but this allowance will be revoked in 2027. This temporary change raises questions about the motivations behind the regulatory adjustments. — The situation mirrors the 2020 Mercedes DAS case, where a legal yet controversial system was banned for future seasons. The current scenario suggests a similar approach, with the FIA recognizing a solution's legality while planning to prohibit it later. — Speculation surrounds the nature of the solution, possibly involving air collection chambers near the cylinder head. This could explain the need for clear plenum classifications and the temporary use of metallic materials. — The complexity of air pressure management is heightened this year due to the ban on variable stroke suction cornets and the removal of the MGU-H, making the issue even more intriguing. The motorsport community awaits further developments to uncover the full story. #mercedesamgf1 🇩🇪 #f12026 VIA: [formulapassion]

@BAiNZY3 @ScarbsTech @MercedesAMGF1 @SkySportsF1 Stiffness. Although even then it makes me wonder why they wouldn't do two faces with a honeycomb sandwich instead.

@ScarbsTech @MercedesAMGF1 @SkySportsF1 @ScarbsTech Why would they run the fake spokes then ?? Surely this just adds weight as there no areo benefit with no flow through ?

Also, Mercedes #F1 are running with closed inner wheel faces. What looks like a spoked OZ wheel is just part of the closed design, flat on the inside, spoked shape on the outside of the forging 🤔. Plus the carbon aero cover. #F1tech 📸 @MercedesAMGF1 @SkySportsF1 Ted's notebook

@notBoredAI @Darian_F1 @Rohann89 @amrf1insights Which is nothing to do with gear ratios. You must struggling playing that Automation game. Make sure the tooltips are on.

@Darian_F1 @Rohann89 @amrf1insights Engine charts then to look like this. Shut the fuck up and say sorry

ℹ️ PU settings, weight, drag, etc play a factor but let's do some maths with the Honda PU: At 10891 rpm the speed was 315KM/H At 11000 rpm the speed was 318KM/H This means: 109 rpm = ~3KM/H Expected speed at 12086 rpm - 346KM/H. Yesterday RedBull hit 344 KM/H at 12086 rpm

@Rohann89 @amrf1insights It's basic maths for gear ratios. What is wrong with it? This is what a 10 year old learns in school about mechanical ratios.

@amrf1insights dude😂. that is the most absurd made up calculation i have seen
