I was thinking more along the lines of the texture. It’d be not unlike trying to get a high speed launch on an old, uneven cobblestone street in a regular car.

Interesting, I had no idea and after looking it up, you’re correct but apparently it was fairly low assist at ~5% increase in downforce with two relatively small (140mm) fans.

It’s even more impressive when you consider that scale-wise, that surface is terrible. 

The Chaparral 2J did fan induced downforce 8 years before the Brabham

“Could a 27-yr old female actor play a high schooler?”

I saw the original cast a few years ago and he read older then, too. I think he might just be one of those people that’s always looked older than he is, which makes him playing a high schooler at 27 even more of a stretch. Despite that I understand why he was cast. His performance was without a doubt one of the most…

I think as long as none of the teenagers actually look like real teenagers, it will be okay.

I saw this play and was interested as it had won the Tony over my fav Come From Away...and was underwhelmed?

What he said!

Same. Been fully vaccinated since January, may wear the mask in public forever more. It lessens weird subway smells, no creeps telling me to “smile baby”, haven’t had a cold in over a year. The only negative has been my glasses fogging up.

It definitely will that and/or kids will end up with CPS b/c some parent/guardian will knock one of these clowns out for approaching their child maskless.

Call the police immediately, contact child protective services. Keep calling until someone arrives. What you’re looking at is abuse, it’s child abuse and you are morally obligated to attempt to prevent it.

Why is this guy still on the air? How come there hasn’t been a boycott of advertisers like Bill O’Reilly?

I’m fully vaccinated and I might wear a mask forever. This past weekend I went to my sister’s wedding where the vast majority of friends and family were vaccinated. So I thought, I’m mask free. Now I have a cold, my sinus hurts, my head hurts and my nose is a faucet. If all I have to do to avoid this regular misery…

Picard gets an A from me for bringing back Seven of Nine and confirming she’s bi.

The cursing is all Data’s fault

I don’t get all the hate Picard receives. Yeah, parts of it are a mess and a cop-out, but in that respect it’s very faithful to TNG. Mostly people just seemed to be upset about the cursing in a Star Trek show.

Ever connected to her fans, she Googled herself. Then she read the thousands of comments. “I never should have done that. I was thinking that all the comments were going to be nice and supportive, and they weren’t,” she says. “A lot of them were, ‘I’m never buying your merch again. My daughter’s never watching you…

WHAT THE FUCK. This makes me so mad.

It’s sad, but not at all surprising. I’m a small business owner, and many of my suppliers are men. About a year ago I created the alias ‘Dick Berns’ to use in purchasing. Since then I’ve found that on average my orders ship 2 days faster and cost 6% less when the person on the other end of the transaction thinks that…
