I give this movie two thumbs

And your last 20 comments are you being a condescending twat, so I’ll go ahead and ignore you without looking further. I’ll check again after you’ve done a track day

The location, modes, and featured cars are continually changing in Forza. I’m lagging on the titles and will probably skip Forza Horizon 5, but FH6 has great reviews on launch. While I can guess you aren’t into cars/racing like that, I guess I can’t really differentiate it from human sports games as much as I thought I could. A new football game has the same field shape, the same rules, and mostly the same teams, but just updates the roster and maybe background appearance? I don’t get it. But I can see the correlation to racing games if driving is a chore (not me) and if you aren’t up to date on the latest trends in cars (me). I guess both really come down to whether or not you can empathetically experience the game as something you actually want to do.

It’s also been 4 years since the last FH. The shortest interval was 2 years, done twice. Six titles across 14 years. Forza Motorsport # is a different style and, unfortunately, has likely been ended.

My Xb One is already named XXXBONE

Old trucks gaf. Idk why you’d think otherwise. Most plugs are not expected to be submerged. If you go so old that there’s no powertrain electronics (which tends to also predate water resistant electrical connections), water is still going to accelerate corrosion at connections, especially chassis ground taps. Submerging it is how you ask for undiagnosed gremlins. Sounds fine for a trail rig, doesn’t sound fine if you still want your legally mandated lights to function.

Plus, it’s especially problematic when you get water inside the cabin. Tons of unprotected connections in there.

I don’t know how to objectively figure this out, but solar panels only convert energy from radiation down to far infrared of 1100nm. Water can absorb longer wavelengths, but solar output has less and less energy output at these wavelengths. However, the mystery is whether or not the panels themselves absorb or reflect such far infrared energy. I’m torn between “it might be the same” and “I’m wrong”

Having a sporty, questionable car after playing this game has given me unending anxiety. Any time I leave the house and feel my phone buzz a minute later, I fear it’s going to be a call saying “hey, somethings wrong with your ride. You left a huge oil slick at the start line”

For those that didn’t play, the game opens with a race between you in the cover art M3 GTR against the final boss in the Mustang. It’s for pinks and your car breaks down after a few minutes, forfeiting your car to the rival. The campaign then has you climb the ladder to get back to him.

Sounds about right. I guess I only remember the scenes. Maybe even just the #1 guy and the Mustang guy.

I remember having to drag a chase out for a long time. 60 or 90 minutes. I think it was a challenge race form outside the campaign. It mixes into the finale race/chase where I think the escape strategy has to develop before letting you jump the bridge, all on heat 6 for the first and only time.

Yes, for all of those, so much effort could be lost to one professional placement of a spike strip. Good times. Bad times. But at least you could reset the game to win the loot boxes back then.

Needs, speeds, Battlestar Galactica

I my circle, I was the only one playing the next title, Need for Speed Carbon, who recognized Tamoah Penikett. Helo / Sharon’s husband on BSG

But anyway, I don’t remember if all the NfSMW blacklist racers had acting scenes. I think some were skipped. Not like the acting was deep. But, neat.

I was thinking about the quote “the rarest material in the universe is wood”. I feel like oil is rarer. I of course get the sentiment about ignoring the beauty on Earth, but realizing there’s probably less oil (and not being able to replace it) just put me in a bummed mood about the human condition.

“we’re not gonna make it, are we? Humans, I mean”

Please don’t manifest “suing a car” into my 2027 bingo card

An expert in everything except the one thing you know well was never an expert in anything. I’ve been selectively repeating that as those around me find the cracks in their favorite chatbot

So did most of us. No reason to be hostile to someone who took more time but still committed. The day they monetized the API was the 3rd best day. Today is the 4th best day.

I have a honda with linked brakes, the precursor to ABS implementation. Rotation in the front left caliper applies one of 3 rear pistons, rotation of the rear caliper applies 1 of 6 front pistons. I have like 5 bleed valves on the 3 calipers and 2 or 3 valves inside the frame.

But it’s very difficult to lock up the rear wheel. I’ve never had it happen in a straight line.

Love how people are going on about regenerative brakes when this is simply deleting the hydraulic lines for wires and actuators in a normal friction brake system.

The headline is ambiguous. The thumbnail less so. The article is not. This deletes the hydraulic lines to use electrical systems to actuate otherwise-normal brakes.

Yasa is not a current OEM. They are a research group partnered with Mercedes, not supplying Mercedes with current market equipment. So no, this is not a solution to regen braking not being able to brake the last 10% to a stop. That’s not what BMW claimed, either. They said “almost never” activate mechanical brakes. Everyone is still using mechanical brakes for the last, final stopping force. That is how generators work. If they’re not spinning they’re not generating. Slowing to a stop means the braking force from regen rides the curve down to near zero. Yada has nothing to do with the thread anyway

You have no idea what you’re talking about. The brembo system in the OP simply replaces the hydraulic system with an electric one. It’s not a regen brake. It’s a brake pedal sensor that commands motors to actuate pistons in normal caliper/rotor/pad arrangement.

Meanwhile, nowhere in the Yasa site does it say it can hold a motor still strictly through “magnets” because that’s not how motor/generators work. You can’t get resistance to motion without motion being input into the system. No rotation, no generated electricity, no electricity to shove into a battery/heat exchanger. Not to mention that site is primarily marketing hand waving. Research papers to back it are great, but they’re not what that site is about. They’re partnered with Mercedes, not actively producing these as current equipment.

I’m in the overlap where I can easily follow reg edit direction and similar tutorials but can’t actually diagnose it myself. I wouldn’t have a clue. These known regedit edit workaround posts exist and are spread because there’s a ton of people in this overlap. We just aren’t vocal because it’s not one of our hills to die on.

But I can deal with cars, fix older models, and avoid buying an internet-connected model. Shit, I even learned how to fix drum brakes to maintain my options. I also disconnected my smart TV and grabbed a retired pc with win 10 pro or whatever to get some control back over that.

I do what I can, but at the end of the day, I still need to relax at some point.
