This.  Best case was they released ALL of the lapped cars earlier, and then we’d end up with the same result.  Worst case was they release no lapped cars, we don’t get a race, and Mercedes is gifted the win.  What we got was the best they could do after initially screwing up the release of the lapped cars.

Sure, you can call it strawberry pie if you want, but the company showing it to you will call it a demo.

And?  I don’t think she answered a job posting for “handler for underage prostitution”.  My assumption is she got entangled the same way all the other girls who “worked” for him did, she was just better at administration.

Hah!

I see you’re unfamiliar with the tech industry.  As a longtime gamer, let me assure you that companies can absolutely demo features that do not actually exist.

“The big story alleges that the company essentially faked its “Full Self-Driving” promotional video by pre-setting a route for the vehicle to follow, a route that it failed to navigate without hitting something. The second, lesser-but-still-concerning piece of news pertains to Tesla Arcade, the manufacturer’s in-car…

So what is it based on, specifically? The interviews I’ve seen he seems pretty cut and dry, doesn’t whine much (certainly not as much as Hamilton), and is pretty nonchalant for the most part. Maybe I’m missing something?

It’s a demo of what you expect to deliver.

This. My experience with video game trailers (and Tesla being basically a software company by their own admission) told me while watching the video that it was staged. It was obvious that nobody just hopped in and pushed “park me here” and the car did it all on its own. It was a highly-coordinated pre-planned…

Yes, that entitlement of being incredibly talented. What a jerk hoarding all of that skill for himself.

I believe he is, but remember he’s trying to win in a car that has been significantly slower than this top competitor’s for his entire career bar a 6-month stretch this season.  If he had the car to just cruise along out front every race like Hamilton he probably wouldn’t have built up such a reputation.

Basically my thoughts. I don’t care one way or another about Max the Human Being (he seems fairly chill and honestly a little boring as a person, kind of like me), but I like Max the Driver.  F1 is way too polite.  Max actually fights, and some people hate him for it.  They’d rather he admit defeat and pull over to…

So she is both a victim and a participant.  Honestly I have no idea how her brain was screwed up by Epstein or whatever may have happened to her previously that ended up with her in that position, so at this point I’m going to just say I hope she’s worked things out and is no longer that person in any way.

I was kind of with you until the end.  The bank heist was one of the most stupid things I’ve ever seen in a movie, even for F&F.  Dragging a bank vault around the streets was bad enough, but manually shifting an automatic to drag race?  What is this, 1975?  The movie lost 2 stars just for that.

Sounds like a Yogi Berra ripoff.  Even if Johan was around before him.

We all have our hills to die on, this just isn’t one of mine.  And offline GT went away with GT Sport already, anyone who thought it would come back with GT7 was letting their hopes get the best of them.  How they treat GT Sport’s end of life will be really telling.  If they turn on offline saves once GT7 takes over…

Putting the “if you see a gap and don’t go for it you’re not a racing driver” quote to good use? Sure, why not. It’s been invoked incorrectly for so long we might as well give Max a chance to use it in the proper context.

The chicane was definitely iconic, but man was it a terrible corner.  Worked great on a PS1 where drifting it was the quickest way around, but with modern physics and going for a more “real-life” racing approach it’s just silly.  Still a shame as it would have worked just fine as a corner, but I’m not going to…

Fair enough, but as someone who has played tons of games with online requirements for saving, I can see the benefits and reasons (in GT’s case, mostly to prevent cheating since they have actual FIA sanctioned races in the game), and since I’m always online it doesn’t bother me from a principle standpoint. If I had…

But that’s kind of the point, is Tesla is releasing the Plaid as the “track focused” “fastest sedan in the world” and whatnot, but the brakes are apparently not able to keep up.  I assume they are expecting to rely on heavy regen, but the Taycan can do that too and still has massive brakes in comparison.
