CB Bucknor strikes again, this time saying the runner did not touch first base. He very clearly did

@anishmoonka Kinda crazy how sharp that “outer third” sectioning is. Obviously it still takes some damage but that’s an incredibly straight cut on 3/4 and you can see where it will be on the fourth

Those wheels you’re looking at are 0.75 millimeters thick. That’s half the thickness of a US dime. Each one was carved from a single block of aluminum, and NASA sent six of them to Mars knowing they’d eventually shred. Curiosity was built for a 2-year mission. It landed in August 2012, and by December that year NASA had already extended the mission indefinitely. Thirteen years and 35.5 kilometers later, the rover is still going, but the wheels started cracking just 14 months in. The damage came faster than anyone at JPL predicted. Sharp embedded rocks were punching straight through the skin between the treads. So NASA assembled a Wheel Wear Tiger Team (a crisis problem-solving tradition that goes back to Apollo 13) and got to work. In 2017, they uploaded a traction control algorithm from Earth that adjusts each wheel’s speed in real time based on the terrain, reducing force on the front wheels by 20%. They rerouted the rover to softer ground and started driving backward when possible, because pulling wheels over rocks produces less force than pushing them into rocks. The wildest part: if enough treads snap off, Curiosity is designed to find a sharp rock on Mars and use it to deliberately rip out the damaged inner section of its own wheel. JPL tested this on a replica rover and found Curiosity can keep driving on just the outer third. They predict this won’t be needed until around 2034. Every 1,000 meters, the rover pulls over and uses the camera on its robotic arm to photograph its own wheels so engineers on Earth can count every crack. Each wheel also has tiny holes that spell “JPL” in Morse code, which Curiosity uses to measure distance by photographing its own tracks in the dirt. These photos directly changed the next rover. When NASA built Perseverance, engineers 3D-printed about 70 different tread designs before landing on 48 curved treads instead of Curiosity’s 24, with thicker skin. They tested the new wheels over 60 kilometers and got zero damage by Curiosity’s original failure definition. “A boring graph with no data on it,” as one JPL engineer put it. A $2.5 billion machine doing self-surgery with rocks on another planet because the mission outlasted its design by 6x.

@TheDrainmaker I can’t decide if I hate it or if it’s a top 5 gimmick in the game rn

THIS LIO RUSH GIMMICK IS SOMETHING ELSE, BRUH. 😭 twitter.com/RasslinClips/s…

"crimson desert is mid, you're still playing that slop?" shut up, man. look at his little barrel

Maybe your baby is crying because it wants a cigarette

@JomboyMedia At least 46**

Albert Pujols can still swing it at 46

@Matt_Pinner ㄥ9

So far no one has found the number in the Box What number do you see? Correct answer deserve $650

@NHL @espn The scream hahahaha

BUZZER BEATER OFF THE DRAW 🤯 THIS IS INSANE!!! 📺: @espn ➡️ espn.com/watch

@FriedgeHNIC @PeteBlackburn

Officially, Colton Parayko has declined to waive his no-trade clause to Buffalo -- as is his contractual right. We will see where we go from here

Did the Marathon playtest make you hit that pre-order button? 👀🔥 Yes or no, and why? #Marathon | #MarathonGame

the age regressing stoner hitting the penjamin button

If there is only one bit of advice you take, let it be this.

beautiful morning

Timeline is currently in the “we’re so back” stage of the Marathon cycle, looks like

Marathon definitely has a steep learning curve compared to Arc Raiders but I am enjoying myself more and more the longer I play

Big day for him.

When you get downed but still make it back to Speranza safely
