So they can be on deadspin

Wouldn’t say I was trying to refute them, just don’t think your stronger take of “Absolutely every other league takes this guy to the hospital” is entirely true. The NHL in particular has a very similar history of letting guys get their bell rung and returning to play, and I wouldn’t be surprised at all to see a…

...Not quite. Sidney Crosby, in his prime, had two concussions within days of each other. The NHL has cleaned up a bit by reducing fighting drastically, but it is reaping a benefit of being less popular and thus less scrutinized.

After so many years of utter incompetence, I have to wonder if Jimmy has decided that hilarious failure is actually their #brand. Given the choice, I’ll actually pick a Browns game over other 1pm options because I KNOW there’s a strong storyline and likelihood of something amazing(ly bad) occurring.

Spitballing: If you want to encourage women getting into F1, make a rule that says “You can have two 4-hour test day each week so long as the car is piloted by someone of the opposite gender of your main race drivers”. It’d be a weaker version of Title IX for motorsports.

Drove through it in September, and it was _so weird_. I had my face in the phone navigating and was saying things like “ok, we’re about to hit the built-up part of the city”, and then I look up and there’s a single trailer in the distance.

Dock the constructor points if they take too many. It’s typically not the driver’s fault if the engine goes boom, and the driver is already going to lose out on benefits of the practice/qualy/race session they were driving in.

Meh, it’s doing its job: making sure that when you list off all the makes you’re going to test drive a car from, Nissan is in that list.

The GPS, the cameras, the continuous data feed to their headquarters, the extremely conspicuous vehicle, and so on.

Podcasts aren’t as bad as video - they’re great for listening to in the car or while you’re doing chores or something. It takes a while to find ones that are consistently good, but once you do it’s worth it.

Perhaps we should hold ourselves to a higher standard than Breitbart?

A calorie is simply a certain # of joules.

Thermodynamics do not imply that you’ll actually _lose_ the weight.

I saw it this weekend - my first comment coming out was “that movie could _easily_ have been 2/3rds as long without losing a single scene or plot point.”. Saw it on a Friday night in a big city, and there were plenty of seats left in the theatre, so it not making money does not surprise me.

A constant 3G gets you to LEO orbital velocity in 4m25s. Notably, most orbital rockets (including SpaceX’s current fleet) take far longer than that to achieve orbit, indicating a lower average G-load on the way up. As the article noted, the shuttle accelerated at 3G, so it would not be unprecedented.

It’s unlikely they’d hit the 11.6G on the way back down, because the rocket will be business-end-down and can throttle so that it burns off a ton of speed before it hits the thickest part of the atmosphere. Unlike a heatshield, a propulsive reentry lets them pick and choose where they do their deceleration, as long…

My memory says that the NBA has a rule saying players have to be out of HS for a year before they’re eligible to work for the NBA.

The Schumi family did a little thing last week when he hit #68.

Probably not very - the fixed tooling costs are what would kill you, especially on a bespoke engine and the trim bits. The injection molds to do a typical “pretty” headlight run in the 6 figures. And that’s not counting the machine that’ll actually hold the mold together while putting plastic into it.
