I figured as much given they were comparing it to the Purosangue. Unfortunate that the proportions just make it, idk, horizontally squat looking.

I’m a big fan of the interior & Ive design (and am not always a fan if his). The exterior is pretty cool from the front and back … but from the side and at angles it just doesn’t r…

You have to look at it now like cryptocurrency “market cap” numbers. It’s more of a marketing tool than anything. This is just another honking whirlygig to bolt onto the SpaceX IPO…

Last time I flew my family was very early to the gate; it was me, my wife, my 5 and 3 year old girls, and a very elderly lady in a wheelchair who was blasting Kendrick Lamar’s “Not…

Docs. Load-bearing implicit authority. Attribution of sales. Implicit assumptions about humor / topicality in group chats. Office kitchen standards & practices. It’s up to the CEO …

I guess you live in a different population than me, where all the physical and occupational therapists are out of work

It doesn’t really affect hypertrophy but it matters because imbalances will get you weird injuries and/or mobility restrictions in the long term.

I like the sentiment but saying “ads are not inevitable” is just holding your breath until mom gives you ice cream for dinner

They are good summaries. They’ve essentially replaced low- to mid- depth magaize articles, and some of the high depending on the topic

Well we’re talking about Egypt & rhetoric now, so …

A relative ran a trucking operation for a few years and now says he’s significantly more wary of any trucks on the road. At the same time, he says that it’s a miserable business be…

This PBS Spacetime video pours some cold water on the black holes as dark matter hypothesis: https://youtu.be/qy8MdewY_TY?si=9jc_a7IAm4qrhfNX It’s 4 years old; I don’t know if this…

Ilya’s the only one that inspires confidence, though I can’t hate Andreesen’s Focus Alpha

I wonder if my slop radar is oversensitive to em dashes and the construction: “it’s not just about foo, it’s about bar ” because this post seems human written but the indicators ar…

the extra mass is converted into energy in the form of gravitational waves (maybe other forms too idk but this is part of it)

The article is wrong. That’s when they changed it for fly/free. Here is the 92 backstroke final. The announcers mention the rule: https://youtu.be/FTfTyzkSzQs?si=E82rvKql-w9vuwSf I…

the backstroke rule change was circa 1988. They changed butterfly (and I suppose freestyle) after the 96 Olympics when Dennis Pankratov won both butterflies with this technique. In…

The benefit of AI as a feature in calorie counting apps is great. But you have to track stuff manually for a while to realize the benefit. Specifically: using AI for restaurant mea…

Most Senators are not well known nationally (sadly) unless they’ve either: - done a non-negligible Presidential campaign - been born from a famous family - the press either love th…

Off topic, but how pleasant to land on a fast-loading site without a bunch of battery & soul draining ads and social detritus

the most dead-on part of the latter is when the main character is feeling a bit out of place at some meeting/hunting retreat in south Georgia and suddenly he remembers the cheat co…

I had a similar experience watching Mr. Robot. There’s a scene where it shifts to first person PoV and the voiceover says something like “am I seeing this? Is this real?” … and it …

that was fake news. He did very much dislike the alternative, though.

A dashboard is mostly a saved bunch of queries with a visual-aid in interpretting them. Staleness, which Majors alludes to, is one problem. The visuals being a poor aid to interpre…
