Same artist did both.

I have a distressing memory about this from a party I went to a couple of years ago. It was mostly people in their mid 20s. One of the people I talked to was a 27 year old girl who was really into indie games. I handed her my phone with my Steam library and we chatted for 20 minutes about the games we’d been playing as she scrolled through it.

Later in the night I found her standing slumped over in the hallway. I didn’t recognize what was happening and I got very worried. I asked “excuse me, excuse me, are you okay??”

Still folded over, she cocked her head up to look at me. The expression on her face was somewhere between dazed and starry-eyed. She said “YOU’RE BEAUTIFUL”, reached her arms up and tried to grab my face. I ducked out of the way and left.

Someone told me that she got like that at every party.

The memory is seared into my brain. I still think about it and worry about her. I’ve seen fent folding in unhoused people before, but seeing it happen to someone I never would have expected really got to me.

I thought you were very polite and respectful, no worries.

I only know enough about aerodynamics to understand that I don’t actually know shit. I think most racing fans are in the same boat as me.

I’d love to learn more, and that’s really all that I was asking for.

Do you know the magnitude? If not, we’re both talking out of our asses. There must be some research or wind tunnel data out there about this, but I don’t have the numbers and I don’t know where to look.

I’ve been into sim racing for nearly a decade. There’s never been a better time to get into it IMO.

Sim racing games and equipment have gotten significantly better and cheaper over the last 5 years. Hydraulic pedals and direct drive wheelbases did exist, but they were in the $2k-$4k price range. Now you can get high quality gear with that technology for under $500.

iRacing and Assetto Corsa are still the kings, but we are spoiled for choice when it comes to excellent sims.

If you are any kind of gearhead you’ll love it. There are even thriving sub-hobbies for things like bass shakers and motion platforms, which add back some of the seat feeling that you miss out on versus IRL.

Did you do motorcycle racing IRL? I’ve seen crazy motorcycle sim builds with motion, lean, etc., but I don’t think serious simulators exist yet. I’d love to see it.

As for Tesla, I don’t think we can know unless a Tesla engineer/aerodynamicist chimes in. There are other more serious examples of executive meddling in engineering, like the use of visual cameras instead of radar/lidar. Working for them must be a hair-pulling experience for their engineers.

I’m talking out of my ass. I’m big into (mostly sim) racing myself, but I have no formal training or experience. You probably know way more about it than me!

If you’re a racing nerd then you know how strong the suckage can be. My car uses premium fuel and I get about 7L/100km on the highway. That adds up on long trips, so I try to save fuel when I can. I’ve tried drafting behind transport trucks. Even at only 90 kmph, I was able to get that number down to 5L/100km.

Electric vehicles have a lot of design features to cut down on aerodynamic and mechanical drag. Special hub caps, no grilles, low drag tires, etc. for the purpose of helping their main problem and selling point: the vehicle’s range on a single charge. I assumed the flush door handles were just another design feature for reducing aerodynamic drag, where every little bit counts.

Again, this is all out of my ass. I am well aware that aerodynamics are far far more complex than “smooth = better”, and that most cars are probably already designed so the door handles aren’t a problem. Maybe the door handles make no difference and having them flush is just optics for Tesla.

It comes into play much sooner than that when you’re designing for maximum range on an electric vehicle.

Air fryers do use air convention for heating, but they aren’t just smaller convection ovens. They have lots of design features that make them much more suited to certain types of cooking. The basket, much higher airflow, etc. all make a big difference in how you use them.

I had a countertop convection oven that was about the same size as an air fryer and they both had different use cases.

That sounds like the video stays on your device but the photos do not.

I read it as “I’m not very knowledgeable” rather than “I don’t like it”.

I am Canadian. People in Europe would always ask if I was American after hearing me speak, and their faces would always lighten up when I told them I was Canadian.

In Spain it was the worst. I would sometimes overhear service staff tell each other I was American and proceed to get awful service. It got to the point that I started going in to random stores to try to (unsuccessfully) find something with a Canadian flag on it.

I will try my best to be obviously Canadian next time.

I don’t get ocular migraines so I have never seen something like this. I can see subtle multicolour flashes if I close my eyes and do things like looking around quickly or apply pressure to my eyes. This image reminds me of the flashes I see, but 1000x more intense. Would you describe it like that?

What’s wrong with the hands?

Nice one

Lemmy is finally in its incelposting phase! Not good!

Krillin as Meowth instead of 16 is a bit of a misplay

She is clearly upset and crying before that even happens. What a bully.

Here’s the law if you’re interested in learning about it: https://www.uscis.gov/policy-manual/volume-12-part-h-chapter-3

It’s pretty easy to understand. It depends on a few different things - you can be born to a US mother and not be a citizen, or to a US father and get citizenship through him. It depends on marriage status and there are different residency requirements for different situations. Those requirements are different depending on which parent is the US citizen too.

Not to be rude, but where did you get that info? It isn’t correct. Doesn’t it sound a little too oversimplified for something like birthright citizenship laws in the US?

The mother or the father, and it depends on circumstances. The rules are more strict when the father is the US citizen.
