I do not follow this race series. One dude just takes too many risks and drives too aggressive?
I was expecting another Vadim Kogay type of guy, but no.31 being nr2 disproves that.

Vadim doing his thing:

That’s not how shaders work though. The process generally looks like: bind shader -> issue drawing commands -> repeat until everything is drawn. There’s no bind shader to a specified area. The graphics hardware doesn’t even have a concept of area, that’s all vector-matrix calculus to transform coordinates relative to…

I’m 58. My parents did. Just be sure to let her (and any future kids) know there will always be people who wish to or try to stop you and don’t feel the same way. That was surprising...

Amen to that brother.

Perhaps those of us with sons could also take it to heart so that boys feel supported pursuing whatever they want.

I participate in a male-dominated sport. And I can’t even count all the times some guy has said to me, “The only reason that move worked on me was because you caught me off guard.”

I’m glad she can see the humour in it.

Those of us with sons (me included) should take this to heart too, so that they’re supportive of the women and girls in their lives pursuing whatever they want, or at the very least so that they’re not part of the problem.

“I have been surprised by the number of 40-something or 50-something-year-old men who have gotten out of a race car, however many spots behind me on the track, and tried to give me advice as to what I can do better next time,”

My wife and I are days away from having our first kid and it’s going to be a girl. I can’t wait to show her stories like this. My mentality is that if there is anything I hope to teach her it’s that she can do or be anything she wants to and tough has nothing to do with masculinity. Be proud, work hard, fail, get up,…

Make it so you can’t heal in the blue zone. I think that’s fair enough.

An alternative I’ve discussed before, in regards to the blue zone, is maybe make it an instant death after a certain amount of time in addition to the same attrition rules. The amount of time before the instant death could be tied into the same rate at which the attrition damage increases.

The issue with PUBG (from a competitive or at the very least, cheese-free perspective) is that the blue zone doesn’t kill automatically. Camping outside the boundary is a bold move, but when done correctly it pays off bigly (it’s a word now, thanks to our shitty president, OK?). The obvious solution is to make the…

I did guess this in the post: “Is that grid-thing used for some kind of aero drag tests? Perhaps the grid’s squares can be sealed with panels to increase drag as needed?”

Good question! But chicken tax, as I understand it, is about manufacturing location, not corporate HQ.

This was totally risky. Did you see him weaving traffic on the highway? What if someone over reacted to his weaving and caused another accident.

I should say I completely understand the impulse, but it feels like it’s in the same vein as instructing bank employees to let robbers take the money and get out without interfering.

I would think that chasing someone down would cause them to take more risks than if they weren’t being pursued. Unless you’re planning on shooting out their tires or ramming them off the road, what purpose does following them serve?

My favorite business story is that the guy who created Grey Goose was just a marketing genius. He saw that Absolut was generally the top shelf vodka available and said “lets just make something 25% more expensive with a fancy frosted bottle.” And now we’re up to our asses in “premium” tasteless spirits.

Hot take incoming: Gin is like vodka in that 99% of people can’t tell the difference between expensive (good? maybe?) and cheap (bad? maybe?) and brand perception creates value.
