  1. These guys are outwardly nice to everybody else. Theyre only catty towards one-another and it feels like some sort of OSU-Michigan resentment but it lives on every single day.
  2. I have peers from the region whose corporate rank do not match their cultural/caste rank and watching the subtle infighting between them is 🍿🥸
  3. in newest ESPN mock draft he's the 3rd QB and actually the 5th Longhorn behind Banks, Bond, Williams, and Barron
  4. not quite the same example because TRC was legit but still:
  5. A rack of cassettes is cooler than a crate of vinyl though. Plus they're slightly less fiddly to handle where you worry less about scratches and dust and etc
  6. funny enough, lagging vinyl's revival, is cassettes also seeing its own resurgence. i kinda get the appeal too: the sound and tactility of opening the case, loading a cassette in the player, snapping the lid shut, etc. sometimes a long and noisy button to initiate play. it has a more satisfying sensory experience than even operating vinyls.
  7. coan-fed irish tomahawk. roasted in home oven and then broiled under the gas pizza oven. the iphone does some weird color balance shit.
  8. we all saw the brake trace right? you have a right to a (single move) defense by changing from your typical line, or your braking point, to operate within the bounds of the track. but if you brake later than usual AND especially if you LET OFF the brake (2nd yellow pointer) , then clearly your intent is to push people off, you have no intent to actually make the turn yourself. thats disqualifying of a racing move.
  9. It's a penalty because the advantage is that the other car is constrained by having to stay on the track. If the other car is also off track, it's not disadvantaged. Penalize both cars equal amounts (+5 or +10s) for going off. No swapping of places because neither of them were disadvantaged relative to eachother. Done.
  10. people scheduling meetings through lunch time, late in the afternoon when im trying to get home, early in the morning when im reading emails, or in the between hours when im trying to do work
  11. shouldve got the new model with SOS features
  12. when the freeway barely changes direction its fine, i 100% trust it to keep in lane. when the freeway starts to curve i get unsettled at whether it will maintain lane, or -- for whatever reason -- suddenly cut out. or what if it doesnt turn with the right curvature relative to the cars in neighboring lane? theres a concept in psychology and robotics called the uncanny valley where if a robot looks close to being lifelike, but not quite enough, its way creepier than if it was cartoonish and you knew for a fact its fake. my psychology towards the driving tech is the same way. i hate the tense feeling of having to hover over and baby it.
  13. I don't see the point for the intermediate drive assists, until it's fully and truly tested. -in curvy roads and busy traffic i prefer the control of driving myself -in steady highway cruising it takes no effort to drive myself -with most lane-keeping implementation from rentals its really shoddy and tends to ping-pong -with the most advanced implementation, the fact that theres a 1% edge case (or whatever) where you need to takeover keeps you on alert anyway. for me its really nice in slow traffic jams, where the risk is low and you have plenty of time to react, its nice to let the car do the crawling-and-steering.
  14. "we have Lando Norris at home"
  15. If natalie portman was there the longhorns would have won.
