Formula E times appear close because the tracks are different, take Monaco which is the same: F1 1:10.2, FE 1:29.7, F3 1:24.9

Of the big lies the competitors to electric propulsion successfully spread is that hybrid is what’s making the engines heavy. It’s not. In F1 the ICE is over 100kg without the energy store (=fuel) whereas is hybrid unit is 20kg including energy (=battery).

In F1 the hybrid electric system is ment to augment the ICE, could not be soley deployed for a whole lap, or have the power to reach top speeds on a long strait. Comparing the two is intellectually dishonest.

The formula E cars have less range, lower top speed, and weigh almost 300kg more. It's not a conspiracy, it's where battery technology currently is.

Marko got a hard on for Lawson because he was on Marko's approved nationality list and overestimated his capability. Their arrogance blinded them to how shitty their car is and how difficult it is for an inexperienced driver to handle. They shit the bed and are lying it, it's too bad they pulled Lawson into their slurry pit.

To be fair to Ferrari most of their blunders are strategy related, driver wise Barrichello was their worst pick in the last 25 years.

As a bears fan that lives near Cincinnati, the Rogers train wreck pulling into Pittsburg will bring me so much joy. The bears have Pittsburg at home this upcoming season and nothing would make me happier than a shitty Pittsburg with a cancerous Rogers getting demolished.

They’re talking about avoiding legal liability, not about actually doing the right thing. And of course you can see how it would help them avoid legal liability. The lawyers will walk into court and honestly say that at the time of the accident the human driver was in control of the vehicle.

The plaintiff's lawyers would say, the autopilot was engaged, made the decision to run into the wall, and turned off 0.1 seconds before impact. Liability is not going disappear when there were 4.9 seconds of making dangerous decisions and peacing out in the last 0.1.

Encrypted data, all classified data that is transmitted over commercial networks must use approved encryption tools that conform to specific encryption standards.

You're partially right, stationary objects on the side of the road will have a different Doppler shift than a stationary object in front of the vehicle, items on the side of the road can be filtered. Cheap radars with low sampling rates will not be able to distinguish as their Doppler bins are fairly large.

Radar would not detect a Styrofoam wall either the return from Styrofoam is extremely low. Radar also can not distinguish elevation differences very well so an overhead road sign can be mistaken for a stopped vehicle or a stopped vehicle mistaken for an overhead road sign.

What does what other people experienced have to do with me seeing changes in weather?

My point, which went so far over your head that you'd need a telescope to see it, was that I have to trust the experts. When those experts clear the rainforest to make a road from the city to their lair it erodes that trust.

You don’t remember?? You don’t fucking remember?

Why would I remember a typical winter. It got cold & snowed, how much it snowed or how cold it was I have no clue.

I’ve seen winters go from snowy to snowless.

Either you live in an area that historically doesn't get much snow or you're full of shit, I'm betting the latter. According to "the science", no area has seen that drastic of a temperature change to go from snowy to no snow.

You not remembering it as a reason to not believe in it that’s crazy. You have seen it.

Never claimed I don't believe just that I have not observed changes with my own eyes.

Normal people can remember last year’s weather.

I doubt you remember how many times it got below freezing this past winter.

Are you really going to sit here and deny global warming when you can literally see it with your own eyes these past 20 years?

Everyone says 2024 was one of the hottest, I didn't notice, spring didn't have many hot days and either did summer that I recall. I coach track in the spring and summer and take note of hot days. I don't remember the 23/24 winter and certainly don't remember the weather from the last 20 years. I have to "trust the science" for that kind of climate analysis. So no I have not seen it with my own eyes and unless you have been logging your own weather station for the last 20 years you have not either.
