You'd have to be a rather petite man for your nuts to be in trouble from that hitch. It's not even up to the knees of the person in the video. 

The stowable ball hitch on the new Volkswagen ID. Buzz was the coolest design element I’ve seen in years.

The LAST thing I ever want in a car is the interior getting brighter the fast I go. WTF?

The new Prius is basically a modern Celica but hybrid now

He only had, like, one of those flash cubes for his Instamatic!

they’re saving those for a slideshow ;)

I’m excited about the new Prius which is something I never expected.  I also love the new Ioniq6; it is simply amazing.  

The LAST thing I ever want in a car is the interior getting brighter the fast I go. WTF? It’s bad enough having the incessant touch screens screwing with my night vision. Saab had the right idea with Night Panel - that was brilliant.

this is, like, four photos. do they not have more cars there?

It’s been 25 years since Deep Blue (narrowly) beat then-World Champion Garry Kasparov, today’s engines would destroy Carlsen (the highest rated player in history) with ease.

Just to be clear, I think all these people are annoying nerds but I think it’s absurd some guy lost a game and then that somehow spiraled into weeks of unverified accusations of Niemann cheating in that game. Also, what’s the point of even having the game if Carlson was expected to win and if he didn’t it means the Ni…

Imagine someone used to rob banks. Then a new bank claims that they got robbed, they don’t have any proof if the robbery actually happened or who it was, but they blame the same guy because “he used to rob plenty of banks before”. It shouldn’t work like that.

Niemanm is being 100% sketchy, but I still think the…

He admitted he cheated as a 12 and 16 year old. Doing dumb shit as a kid and a teen holds next to no water. And with the level of security in the most recent event, unless he has access to brain implants that don’t exist yet and somehow decided that the best way to use them was to play chess, then it’s hard top…

I think this theory deserves more credit. Like what if this is a guy, raised in the computer era who didnt learn chess in the conventional means, but by using computer assisted tools, who now just plays like a computer without them. Like you learn based on how your taught, how your mentors and rivals play, what if his…

At some point if all their checks don’t find anything you have to conclude he’s not cheating.

Not a likely scenario, I know, but I think it would be fucking hilarious if this guy was cheating all that time in order to actually get “better” at chess.

Article should mention that Chess.com just bought Magnus’s business for 90 million. Not defending the alleged cheater (I know nothing of chess beyond the rules) but any analysis of his play should be done by an uninterested third party for more weight.

Could be. Combined with Carlsen being unwilling to admit he just had an off day and looking for some way to avoid having to admit that he screwed up that match.

The suspicions are hinged on Niemann’s previous history of online cheating, which per the report were incidents as recent as 2020, but also due to the strange way in which Niemann behaves. Unlike most top players, Niemann doesn’t seem nearly as bothered during high-stakes competitions.

The problem I’ve always had with rally games is that the car selection contains almost nothing that appears in American rally. The closest in Dirt Rally 2 was a Ford Fiesta, but it was permanently locked to a paddle shifter and you couldn’t change it. So I ended up racing a Mini Cooper with an H-pattern shifter most…
