So accurate

@NotFifthGear You cannot be defending the new regs. Absolutely terrible for the sport

Every overtake here is a DRS overtake btw

@NCraven @johnddavidson You are so close to getting it. Think about how people are “exposed” to things that manipulate them and make them do bad acts today. The parallels are incredible.

@johnddavidson So Saruman, Denethor, Frodo do example, were they even in control when said acts happen? Or did they get infected/corrupted due to exposure? I’d think that is a dynamic that needs to be considered. Without exposure, would they have the moment of weakness and be manipulated?

There’s a million things wrong with this article on LOTR, but let’s take just one glaring error, that “the heroes are always good.” Recall that Frodo, the story’s protagonist, FAILS in the end to destroy the Ring. When the moment comes, he decides to keep it. It’s only because Gollum attacks him and bites off his finger does the ring fall, together with Gollum and Frodo’s finger, into the fires of Mount Doom. This was the hidden role that Gollum had to play in what Tolkien called the eucatastrophe—the unforeseen appearance of divine grace and intervention at a moment when all is lost. In Tolkien’s legendarium, morality is black and white—just like it is in our world. But his characters are not black and white, they’re fallen and complicated, just like real people are.

@dr_obbs You don’t have to find a way to tolerate it. Just start watching Indy car

Kinetic energy = 1/2*Mass*V^2 Energy harvesting potential increases with the square of car velocity. It’s why they harvest the most in these high speed corners and end of straights. It’s all about energy potential for electrical conversion. I hope I am wrong, but I don’t see how this changes through the course of the season. These high speed flat out exciting corners will be different under these regs. I fear that iconic tracks with iconic corners like Copse and Maggotts and Becketts in Silverstone just won’t be the same. It’s an energy game now. And energy is king in this PU formula. It is what it is. I don’t like it. But I guess I have to find a way to tolerate it. For me the aero looks great. I’m just sad that somehow we have lost the edge of your seat bravery and grandeur of these driver skill corners. I’m not saying last year was better. Or even that DRS wasn’t artificial. But somehow what we had before, that artificially influenced just the straights, seems to be impacting the whole entire track in this new formula. It just makes me sad. And that’s my right to be sad. It has nothing to do with my team, or a driver. It’s just the sport… and like I said…I hope I am very wrong…

@GaelenBet @Mattheius2783 Brewers game was packed

@Mattheius2783 Economy is unwell Nobody has any money left

Opening Day for the Cubs and barely anyone is in attendance. #This is pathetic.

@Nithya_Shrii You are in India. Your caste already determined what level you can get to at work.

Am I the only one who doesn’t have the desire to move up the corporate ladder at work? Like I just want to do my job and go home. I don’t want to be in a position to have to be in a thousand meetings and micromanage adults.

@5280Bsblr @DanBFox1287 Errors don’t have to touch the glove, and hit balls that touch a glove don’t have to be errors

@DanBFox1287 A ruling that the second one to Cruz touched his glove would get him quite a bit of the way there....

What does Paul Skenes need to do the rest of the season to have a sub-2.00 ERA again?

@N1CK_at_N1TE @JTsEvilTwin @DanBFox1287 Not entirely accurate.

@JTsEvilTwin @DanBFox1287 Doesn’t count as an error when the outfielder doesn’t touch the ball

@rushicrypto Stay off the internet so much dude.

Some days I feel like I blinked and the world changed overnight. Everything is faster, louder, more confusing… and I’m only in my 30s. I can’t imagine what it feels like at 50+ trying to keep up with all this. If that’s you… what keeps you steady? What keeps you sane?

@WalshFreedom My god you are a grifter of the highest order.

Cruel. Despicable. Hateful.👇

@Os_poems Hey moron you got community noted. Your incompetent local government is to blame here

If the dumb fuck you voted for hadn’t pulled the funding for it, they may have started by now! But no, Israel money machine go brrrr

@BuzzPatterson Heck yeah

How many other boys grew up playing Strat-O-Matic baseball? 🙋‍♂️

@BenjaminDEKR Ah yes, an AI person with no people skills wanting to only interact with machines all day. Shocking. A good front desk person makes you feel welcome and resolves any small issue you may have. They are an easy way to replace a lost key. They give recommendations.

What is the point of hotel check-in desk people anymore? Why isn't this 100% automated? Verify your ID, pay, get entry code. Why are humans still doing this?

@rushicrypto Jesus Christ this is old. The boomer generation had plenty of losers too. Every generation does. You just haven’t figured out you are one of the losers in your generation

Boomers were the only generation to experience the benefits of the America’s mid-century progressive revolution from childhood and the moment they experienced any personal wealth they started disassembling the ladder behind them. They will be remembered as the most selfish of generations.

@StevenMCole2 @mcuban @DrDiGiorgio And canadas system is much worse than ours.

@mcuban @DrDiGiorgio It really is a shame we don't have hundreds of examples of how Single-Payer, Universal healthcare works in countless first world countries on Earth. Canada is literally our neighbor.

Mark, you are getting close to understanding why single payer cannot work. But I fundamentally disagree with the idea that we could ever just "know" costs well enough to make it work. Hayek was right about this. The relevant knowledge is too dispersed, too local, and too dynamic to ever be gathered and priced correctly by central planners. Take basketball. Imagine single payer basketball. The government is the only purchaser of basketball entertainment in all its forms. Fans are not allowed to just buy a ticket to the Mavs game. Instead, a central office decides who gets to attend and hands out tickets based on "need." The central planners also handle the TV deals, merchandising, concessions, and every other revenue stream. Everything goes through the government, with no out of pocket cost to any consumer. Now teams no longer compete for fans on price, experience, convenience, or innovation. They submit cost reports to Washington explaining what it allegedly costs to run a game. But here is the problem. If there is no market price for tickets, media rights, parking, merchandise, or concessions, how exactly do you decide what the game is worth? How do you decide what players should be paid? How do you know whether a courtside seat is underpriced, overpriced, or priced just right? You do not. You are guessing. So bureaucrats step in and decide the approved reimbursement for a regular season game, a playoff game, courtside access, halftime entertainment, parking, and concessions. What happens next? If the approved rates are too low, teams do not magically become leaner and more innovative. They cut where fans can feel it. Fewer games. Worse arenas. Less staff. Delayed upgrades. Lower quality. Longer waits. Less access. Maybe smaller market teams shut down altogether. If the approved rates are too high, you do not get efficiency either. You get lobbying. Every team hires consultants to prove that its fan base is poorer, sicker, more rural, more complex, or otherwise deserving of special payment adjustments. Soon the league is no longer about basketball. It is about coding, compliance, modifiers, subsidies, carveouts, and political influence. Teams make money not by pleasing fans, but by persuading Washington that their costs are uniquely deserving of reimbursement. And once government is the only buyer, there is no real price discovery left. There is only political bargaining disguised as pricing. The Knicks get one deal. Rural teams get another. Old arenas get subsidies. Favored constituencies get carveouts. Every interest group insists that without one more special adjustment the whole sport will collapse. Fans are told this is fair because nobody has to pay at the gate. But of course they still pay. They pay through taxes. They pay through rationing. They pay through fewer choices. They pay in lower quality. They pay by being told which arena they can use, which game they qualify for, and how long they have to wait. That is the key point. Knowing the accounting cost of hosting a basketball game does not tell you the right price of a ticket. Price is not cost. Price emerges from supply, demand, scarcity, quality, preference, and competition. A central planner can know what it "costs" to turn on the lights, pay security, and clean the arena. That still tells him nothing about what a seat is worth to fans, what kind of experience teams should offer, which franchises are efficient, or where new arenas should be built. Healthcare is even less suited to central planning than basketball. It is more heterogeneous, more personal, more local, and far more dependent on dispersed knowledge. The fantasy is always the same: if only the people at the top had better data, they could set the right prices. No, they could not. They would still be guessing, just with nicer spreadsheets.

@TamanaJ @DetroitC13531 @wine_018 Innocent? Have you ever met a Canadian goose? Biggest assholes of the animal kingdom

@DetroitC13531 @wine_018 You are a sick loser and probably are that kind of dad that thinks harassing innocent animals is fun.

Saw two adolescent boys absolutely terrorizing a family of geese across a huge public park lawn. No reason. Just for fun. Scaring them. Chasing them. Trying to kick them. I was fifty yards away. “Hey! Leave the geese alone!” Nothing. “Hey!!! Stop chasing the geese!!!” They looked at me and hesitated. Then kept going. I summoned the spirit of every soul brutalized by men and said “LEAVE THE BIRDS ALONE!!!!!!!” The entire waterfront park stopped and the boys RAN to their dad. I am at the point where I have zero embarrassment for calling out men of every age for their actions. Whatever sickness men have, it starts young. It starts taking pleasure in the distress of others. I simply won’t stand for it. And parents! The fuq ya’ll doin with these boys????????

@esqflv @MarioNawfal You are not smart

@MarioNawfal Dude we need to get out of this war before Iran starts hitting us. This is ridiculous. This is Israel’s problem, not ours. Why are we helping israel steal land?

Holy shit, Iran just released this video! What are we supposed to think about this?

@CreepyWas Flat and flat out are two different things. We all know he’s implying “on the limit”, and this weekend, the cars and drivers will be nowhere near the limit through the esses.

"flat out through the Suzuka esses" this is the same guy who will shame you for being a newer fan btw

@Skint_Eastwood1 Ah that explains so much. The dumb neighbor is British. The most pathetic group of Karen men in the world. He’s probably mad Ritchson was on a motorcycle instead of a bicycle.

🚨NEW FULL FOOTAGE of Alan Ritchson (Reacher) in a street fight with his neighbor Ronnie Taylor in Tennessee. It captures exactly what caused Ritchson to snap and beat the crap out of Taylor.

@HAMPIA4481 That was what the cult said about Hamilton.

I always thought it was said he could do it in a haas though

@vijilkiwi @Bera_n @wilmotscore These combustion power units do not generate enough hp for there to be any “excess” through the esses, or around 130r, which will be significantly slower this year than in the last 20+

@twesley06 @Bera_n @wilmotscore Yes they can. Slightly more throttle, same speed = the excess power goes into the battery. They'd be slow if they don't, so obviously they will.

Person who thinks they were going flat out through the S curves
