Growing up in the 1980s, I *adored* CART racing. I felt everything else was a pale imitation, especially NASCAR. Like, these guys are the fastest and best racers in America, if not the world.

Agree 100%.

Its hard for people today to remember the ascendance of CART at the time. There was talk of it challenging F1 on the world stage. The racing was that good. Tony George stuck a knife in their back over his petty greed and then the owners tripped over their dick in hiring Joe Heitzler and fell on the same knife. IRL and…

Yeah, this is a result of you not watching a lot of US racing more than these not being big enough names.

Nico handed Hamilton his ass?

I’m sorry. And that’s not an apology, I feel sorry for you, I pity you, you’ve probably never even driven a car to its limit on a track. You probably don’t much like, let alone understand, racing either. In Hamilton, we are looking at a truly great, sublime talent, and currently at the top of his game. You should stop…

Yes, that was a mess, but DID YOU SEE HAMILTON’S LAP???  Do I have to say this every week?  My god, that was amazing, how’d he do that week after week?  Frank Williams once said how much he enjoyed watching the best drivers giving everything in qualifying, I totally agree, at this point, I’m just here to watch…

If someone telling you that you could kill someone by making a choice not to wear a mask to protect those around you makes you NOT want to wear one???  You should probably go see a therapist.  Because that’s not rational behavior.

Might also want to consider the security risks in using debit cards. I imagine that regardless of whether your debit card is linked to a high-yields reward checking account or a normal checking account- the moment someone’s able to get your card number through a skimmer or a poorly-secured website, you’re on the hook…

Yes. Speaking as manager of a robotics lab, I’ll add that this is code controlling a physical system that has to keep passengers and pedestrians safe. Can Tesla software engineers assume that external modifications won’t adversely interact with Autopilot, even inadvertently? I hope so.

Code is cheap, but testing it, documenting it and maintaining it is expensive. 

Your Dad clearly didn’t know where he was going with it either.

Flash tuning voids warranty, film at 11.

I don’t think this reference says what you want it to say. The 62% is the percentage of people in that study with “fulminating” myocarditis, 100% of the 58 (small number) patients had myocarditis already from the 2009 flu. In the article below, the incidence of myocarditis, in general with regard to the flu, was 15…

That was H1N1, not just any flu.

You should read actually make an attempt to read and comprehend the sources you cite. That 62% number represents the number of people who already have myocarditis associated with getting H1N1 who then develop a more severe, acute form of myocarditis, fulminant myocarditis. In the study here related to covid, by…

62% is for a very specific strain, namely H1N1 (aka Swine Flu) which was a pandemic in its own right. The abstract notes that “normal” flu’s rate is more like 0-10% with high variance on a number of factors. But as many others are pointing out, comparing COVID-19 to the flu is like comparing a freckle to skin cancer.…

2009H1N1 was also a TERRIBLE flu. I got it as a 22 year old, was down for about 2 months with bad bronchitis, and then FOR YEARS would get bronchitis with every respiratory infection. It was the illness that finally convinced me to start getting the flu shot. I’ve gotten it every year since then because I really don’t…

The flu virus in that article, H1N1 Pandemic 2009 is a bit different from the usual flu virus.

That 62% was representing the 36 of the 58 myocarditis patients included in the study who had fulminant (severe) myocarditis. If you look in section 2, they go state that it’s prevalent in pandemics but known to be rare with seasonal flu, with many citations.
