It’s the same hand holding the same phone, but it is in there twice. Not even the perspective has changed. That’s one easy giveaway.

I use CoMaps. It uses open street maps. Can run completely offline. Zero tracking.

It is extremely clear that there are no all-powerful, all-knowing, benificent gods. They’re all lacking at least one of those things, if they exist at all. And then what is a “god”? It just becomes a semantics game and becomes pretty pointless to discuss.

I’m planning on leaving my estate to the local indigenous nation when I die.

If we’re boiling things down to biology, if two people are finding it impossible to conceive/carry to term, that’s biology telling them they shouldn’t be combining their genes.

I think we need a “Monaco spec” car that’s basically a souped up go kart with aero if they insist on keeping on the calendar. Points don’t count to the championship.

So is this basically just another DAM system (but marketed more to end users/self-hosters?

There are FOSS DAM systems.

I agree.

When we were a young married couple decades ago, we’d check out movies from the library on VHS tape. One we loved was Topper. In the VHS transfer, there was a line from the protagonist giving “good advice” to another main character: “You haven’t lived until you’ve beat your wife.” In all earnestness.

That line was mysteriously missing from the DVD and all subsequent versions I’ve seen.

I think it is detrimental to society to whitewash shameful past behavior. We need to acknowledge it, remember how bad things have been, and respect the progress that has been made. It also helps us reflect on ways we might be acting now that could be views as horrific or backwards in the future. It helps drive continuing progress.

The lightening rear is an interesting thought. It would take some pressure off the rear tires, shrinking their contact patch a bit and reducing rolling resistance down a straight (I think). It could have potential tire wear benefits (in the rear). It may even effectively increase the diameter of the rear wheels a small amount (at peak speed since they wouldn’t have so large of a flat contact patch), effectively being a nano-CVT adding a little top speed. The effect would likely be very small, but measurable.

I can’t tell if the camera frame rate changes over the course of the clip, but if it was my design, I’d make the “opening rotation as fast as possible (minimizing drag while accelerating) and then close it with a slower rotation to act as an air brake to let my drivers brake later.

I’m guessing their exhaust deflector plate also plays into their rear wing and active aero performance. It looks engineered to help the flow reattach more quickly.
