This is point 1, and it’s also what keeps me off of a motorcycle.

This is how I’ve described these systems to people and why I’m not interested in them (yet), although I’ve never used Tesla’s.  Who wants to monitor someone else’s driving all day long?

This is what I’m curious about. GT7 does actually simulate tires hitting fenders and suspensions bottoming out. If you lower a car too much, you lose the ability to use full steering lock as the tire hits.  I’m very curious to see how this thing is able to function at all given the physics model.  Maybe it’s just…

I mean, people bought their S3XY shorts.  At this point they could put up a turd on a stick and people would buy it.

I’m aware? But you were responding to someone who suggested a car with a manual transmission wouldn’t suffer this fate to the same degree. I was explaining that he was correct.

I think the point is they suck no matter what kind of liquor you’re putting in them.  Tesla just happens to also sell their own tequila, and advertises the glasses in parallel.

At a minimum, it would have kept the speeds much lower. Most likely, they would realize the engine was bouncing off the rev limiter and pull their foot off the gas. At best, the car likely would have been in neutral when the put their foot on the wrong pedal and wouldn’t have gone anywhere.

My family and I flew out of BOI recently.  It’s amazing how much less stressful traveling is when you’re not flying out of Atlanta.

Well I live in Atlanta now, and fly out on a regular basis.  This is true.

This is very true.  They actually have 2-3 security points now (depending on how many they have open), as they added some off on the sides by T gates.  But it’s still way more concentrated that a lot of other airports I’ve been to.

I live in Atlanta, I travel for work.  Precheck during “off-hours” is quick, but then again so is regular security.  Precheck early on a weekday morning?  You’re going to be waiting 45 minutes easily.  It might still end up being quicker than regular security, but not by much.

Counterpoint, as a card-carrying Old Man, I only have time to sink into a few games each year. That means I get 1 racing game, 1 shooter, and 1 fun multiplayer game that I play on the regular, plus the occasional top-notch single-player experience (which usually take me months to complete). I saw all of these racing…

At smaller airports, sure.  In Atlanta?  TSA precheck wait times are just as long as anything else, mostly because 75% of the people flying out of there have it.

It worked for the same reason it works in video games. The wall will slow you down, but not nearly as much as your brakes. To make the turn normally, you have to brake down to a low enough speed that your tires provide enough traction that you don’t slide up the track. If you’re relying on the wall (an immovable…

The loss of wind tunnel and CFD time is a massive hit to anyone that goes over, but the fine makes no sense. $7M is lunch to Red Bull. Any fines should be tied to the following year’s budget cap. Overspend this year? You lose twice that off of next year’s budget.

So in reality, they had a filing error that accounted for $1.7M, and actually overspent by $500k. Still the only ones to overspend, so absolutely fair they should be penalized, but it does look like they were trying to stay within the rules at least.

My biggest issue with the game right now is the lack of events that pay well. There are really only 4 worth your time once you’ve completed everything. One is absolutely awful to drive (in my opinion). The other 3 are quite good, but after driving each one 20-30 times it gets old. Why they can’t just bring other…

I think you missed his point. The speed cameras were installed in 2008. As you can see from the graph, there is very little change from 2008 onwards. If anything it had a negative impact on the trend that was occurring prior to 2008 (if you want to use speed cameras as the only relevant variable).

So the entire state of Iowa would be considered an “area of natural beauty”? This whole area is just old farms filled with old people who want it to continue to look like old farms. It’s not uninterrupted wilderness, quite the opposite. Most of the wilderness was cut down and ground up hundreds of years ago, and the…

So Pepsi will get a truck that Tesla rushed into production in order to avoid missing out on tax breaks? I’ll make sure to keep my distance if I see one out on the road.
