@MHacifazli18627 @M3Mihajlo @F1BigData Ok then remove only reliability failures.

@king2king955 @M3Mihajlo @F1BigData That would hardly be fair. Senna crashed much more often than Prost.

🚨ALAIN PROST | QUALY H2H 🟢Prost 9 - 5 Watson 🟢Prost 18 - 13 Arnoux 🟢Prost 13 - 2 Cheever 🟢Prost 28 - 2 Lauda 🟢Prost 12 - 4 Rosberg 🟢Prost 16 - 0 Johansson 🔴Prost 4 - 28 Senna 🟠Prost 8 - 8 Mansell 🟢Prost 13 - 2 Alesi 🟢Prost 14 - 2 Hill

@MHacifazli18627 @M3Mihajlo @F1BigData Now include only weekends where both cars finished.

@M3Mihajlo @F1BigData He didn't. Prost often opted for better race setups. Senna was still 14-11 ahead in race wins. But Prost was much more consistent and he was 25-18 ahead in podiums and 163-150 ahead in points.

@amal_shura Literally just look at the Reb Bull Ring. Top 5 circuit on the calendar. Sometimes more turns = more dirty air (looks at Suzuka/Spa)

Maybe less is more when it comes to F1 tracks.

It's really a feat how Montreal produces banger races year on year despite its pedestrian circuit design. "Chicane into chicane. And then chicane into....chicane! But now for a surprise. Chicane into...hairpin! Into chicane!"

@Timo_NFL Do you not think that, atleast with RBs, we should consider that being a "SB MVP" about to get a 2nd contract means his best days are likely behind him. Even if RBs draft salary was equal to FA salary I think an elite RB prospect is a better player then a top RB FA due to age/use

Fwiw there should be a solid explanation for that behavior. Paying the Super Bowl MVP is a concrete cost at that moment. Forgetting about positional value in the draft is just an opportunity cost, not a concrete cost, so easier to ignore.

@NihilistNarwhal @AlexGodofsky That's not weird results. Weird is the system now that pretends that these things shouldn't matter, and then when reality comes crashing down and they do matter you end up with a generation stuck with debt they can never pay off.

@AlexGodofsky And if you allow underwriting liberally you end up with weird results like you'd likely get a lower rate based on your SAT+GPA, or variable rates contingent on your choice of major.

People think this is "for no good reason" but the reason is very simple and fairly explicit: if you allow bankruptcy, you have to allow underwriting, and underwriting means not giving loans to a bunch of people they wanted to get loans.

@wilmotscore @chxco156 They mention Camara in the podcast and their stance is "IF he has a good rookie F2 season maybe there might be some interest". So it seems like they think he still needs to prove he is F1 caliber.

@chxco156 Tsolov is there ig but thats it. No Camara. Why would Haas take on anybody from outside if Camara was available

Tsunoda (Honda) to Haas (Toyota) and Albon to Alpine when he has the longer contract out of the two Williams drivers. The Race is my fav satire media outlet

@Dennis_Ramen @DKThomp A teams seeding is highly correlated with their overall quality so just looking at results is gonna speak more to "good teams win" then "teams with higher seeds have an advantage". A mid team that has the 1 seed isnt going anywhere, in the NFL you're 2 home games away from the SB

@DKThomp All your other points are correct but seeding matters more in the NBA than any other sport. A 5 seed has never won the title in NBA history, and the last time a 6 seed won was 1994. You pretty much have to be a 3 seed or better to have a chance, mathematically.

I think one way to get at the NBA's problem is to start w the question: What would it look like for a professional sport's regular season to be the equivalent of a pre-season exhibition period—that is, something that genuinely, truly does not matter at all? 1. For starters, seeding wouldn't matter ... bc home court advantage would barely exist, in which case the best teams could win the championship as an 8th seed just as easily as they could win as the 1st seed. 2. The playoff series would be long enough that (a) the best teams had ample opportunity to prove their superiority [unlike in March Madness, or the NFL playoffs, where 20 bad minutes can end the best team's season] and (b) you're giving casual fans a LOT of basketball to watch so they don't feel bad about skipping most of the regular season. 3. Also, you'd let the vast majority of the teams make the playoffs -- maybe by adding a "play-in" that extends potential playoff qualification to, like, 2/3rds of the league. 4. You'd have several teams that recognize (and practically celebrate!) the futility of the regular season by spending much of this period *actively and flagrantly trying to lose* bc the draft is so much more valuable than the outcome of any particular week, or month, of regular-season competition. In fact, you'd have fans actively rooting for about 1/3rd of the league to throw away most of the regular season bc they only really care about getting a high draft pick. 5. Finally, you'd have a sport where it was basically impossible to win a championship without a top 10 (or, really, top 5!?) player, in which case many franchises are rationally fixated on throwing away regular seasons to maximize their chance to draft or trade for a top 10 guy. ... okay, I think you get my point :) I love listening to basketball podcasts in the autumn and winter, and I love watching playoff basketball in the spring. But I think there are very deep structural reasons why the NBA regular season, for many casual fans, feels like a prolonged preview of an actual sport that begins in April.

@JBNkemdiri @TalkinYanks I guess the 3rd option way to try to get them at home plate but I also doubt they had the time for this.

@JBNkemdiri @TalkinYanks Ok but this plan doesn't work because the run would score before the double play is done, so the Rays still walk it off. He either had to tag the runner then throw to 1st or throw to 2nd then they throw to 1st (though I doubt they had the time for this).

Jazz could've tagged Diaz and thrown to first for the double play. Instead he bobbles the ball and the Rays walk it off

@SilverShiny Puede que no te gusten las explicaciones.

Creo que esta será una de las veces en las que abiertamente deba que decir: Danganronpa 3 tiene MUCHO que explicar

@rodri_vlz 2011?

La de Leclerc fue la mejor actuación individual de la historia del automovilismo y las de Vettel fueron 2 robos

@the_zb_ "It was the first time in the turbo hybrid era a team had reached near-parity, where the chassis could make a difference in performance." That was 2017, where Ferraris power deficit was compensated by the better chassis. They lost that season due to reliability and Singapore.

That’s not correct re: the Ferrari engine, that’s not quite the full story. Unequivocally, the 2018 engine was not at the full level of Mercedes, although it got much closer than it was in 2017. Only Mercedes apologists want to run the narrative that Ferrari was somehow the clear class of the field, while we were still down roughly 10bhp. Better than 25-30bhp down, though. The chassis however, prior to their development missteps, was slightly better than Mercedes. Then months of development sent them backwards for 4-5 rounds, and that stretch of lack of competitiveness coupled with Vettel’s mistakes was all Merc needed to secure it with margin to spare. The engine gap was definitely reduced, but still present. It was the first time in the turbo hybrid era a team had reached near-parity, where the chassis could make a difference in performance. For a short period in 2019, Ferrari had a better engine specifically for straight line speed. It came at the expense of carrying a bit more fuel to achieve their fuel flow trick, which proved a weight penalty, and was then undone by FIA intervention and backroom hand-slapping that nerfed the PU and their 2020 campaign. It wasn’t until HRC’s 2021 PU advancements that Mercedes were well and truly equaled, not necessarily on the ICE side, but particularly on the ERS side.

So, let’s talk about the 2026 Cost Cap, homologation, and introduction of ADUO for the Power Units. This is long, but if you’re curious I hope it’s helpful info. “Additional Development & Upgrade Opportunities” The name itself should give away a lot. In this regulatory cycle, both the chassis/operations side of the sport features a cost cap that has been raised to $215m, but is more inclusive than it was before - meaning, there are fewer ways to exclude certain things from the cost cap figure (like employees splitting time between F1 and elsewhere), but for specified things related to “health and safety”, “high wage equalization”, and… “catering”. (👀 we see you, Red Bull) Also excluded from the cost cap: “Legal, HR, Finance, marketing, and sustainability initiative costs” This new cycle also continues a separate engine cost cap portion, raised to $190m for 2026, with various incentives in the preceding years for new entrants. The PU regulations include a homologation schedule (meaning a part is locked down and “kept the same” from that point forward). Right now, the ICE has been homologated prior to the season, while the ERS portion is still open for development by all teams throughout 2026, and then will be homologated for 2027. Then a component update schedule is enacted, where specific parts can be developed on a rolling basis. Here is where ADUO comes into play. ADUO has been placed in the regs in order to avoid another catastrophic politically-masterminded situation like Mercedes pulled in 2014, basically helping design the regs with an incredibly long lead time and then lobbying for complete lockdown homologation that kept anyone from catching up to their PU advantage until 2021/2022. ADUO utilizes deep access to team data and bench testing by the FIA, along with readily available race data, over blocks of 5-6 races in order to determine if a team is lagging behind the benchmark manufacturer. This ADUO comes into play when a team is determined to be more than 2% or 4% behind the benchmark PU manufacturer, strictly in POWER UNIT performance metrics on the homologated component. For instance, This poses some complications in determining the bench data’s full story, not just lap time that is also impacted by chassis. This presents tiered categories for ADUO eligibility that occur in chunks of 5-6 races for measurement. And remember that this is measured for the purposes of HOMOLOGATED components in the PU, and utilizes data rather than pure lap time. So for this first cycle, we are talking specifically about the combustion engine side of the car (ICE and turbo). • Benchmark Team - defines the measurement target • 0-1.9% deficit - no ADUO available, only standard regulatory opportunity • 2-3.9% deficit - 1 ADUO update beyond just regulatory opportunity in-season N, additional update in season N+1, and some financial relief in the PU cost cap • 4+% deficit - 2 ADUO updates in-season N, 1 additional update in season N+1 beyond the regulatory opportunities, and more financial relief in the PU cost cap These differing levels of allowances for teams to work on homologated parts are built-in ways to allow lagging PU makers a very controlled but possible update pathway to keep competitive. If they do a killer job? In the next cycle, if they become the benchmark, the others could then be eligible for ADUO themselves. Keep in mind, this ADUO upgrade is applied to a specific parts group with some restrictions - it’s not a carte blanche chance to redesign an entire PU. It’s a measurement for literally what the name implies, of a specific set of homologated components. As I can best understand Appendix C, aspects of the fundamental ICE design (the “sealed perimeter”) would require specific allowance from the FIA on the grounds of reliability concern to be adjusted, even under ADUO. But optimizations and improvements to various other parts of the ICE/turbo system would be open to ADUO. Part 2 below ⬇️

@PurensPhD @Jesse_Livermore @briangerard13 I think a better solution is killing the 2 party system by eliminating districts and doing fully proportional representation. If there are 10+ parties in Congress it's alot harder to control and neutralize then if there's just 2.

@Jesse_Livermore @briangerard13 Best solution I’ve seen recommended is large enough congress, that each citizen knows his house representative—makes it so costly for the president to control enough individuals that the mash equilibrium lands elsewhere

The sad part is, the founders debated this very problem, and still ended up getting it wrong. Here's George Mason, expressing his objection, on behalf of Virginia, June 18th, 1788:

@Red1931541 @leclercsletters What part of "we haven't often seen charles and max go at it in equal cars" Did you not understand?

@leclercsletters CL fans agenda and PR is superb. Their posts will confuse new fans into thinking that CL has battled MV constantly and comes out on top while in reality they had 2 to 3 battles and most of the times max swoops past him easily😂.

"i think at the moment, and i've said this before, charles is the only guy who can match max in terms of race craft. when you see, and we haven't often seen charles and max go at it in equal cars. in that situation, i think it would be a very tough choice on which way that would go (win). we have seen occasions where charles is in a slightly inferior car compared to max, but he's kept max very honest." - jock clear

@kotonetheworld What was the problem?

OKAY I FINALLY DID IT YAY

@BananaJohnny_ @aRandom_acc_ In the end his way of coping was literally to go "the Togami family isn't dead, because I'm still alive" and he had the confidence to believe that he could restore the family and bring it to new heights.

@BananaJohnny_ @aRandom_acc_ "Completely removed everything that he was" I don't quite agree with this, obviously his family was a big part of his identity, but I think winning the inheritance of the Togami family gave him confidence in his own individual abilities, he was not so reliant on his family legacy

@kotonetheworld @void__ocean You mean the one that you have to use the lie mechanic to turn it into despair?

@void__ocean nah not that one lol

the v3 non stop debate with the hope bullet is seriously pissing me off i rage quitted this game i cant do it :/ i’ll watch a gameplay of the rest of the trial sigh
