So not to be nitpicky but I saw some WRC content posted. Is this sub not just racing but motorsports in general? Should it be c/motorsports?

I hate being a cynic but I am with you on this one.

The first half is stronger than the second, in my opinion, but I really like it overall.

I'm using Summit. It also has a few niggles and missing features but I believe it will get there in the future. I've tried almost all the available apps and Summit felt the best for me overall.

And at least the dev is active and responsive. Well, he has been at least. He's been gone for a few weeks with IRL interference but he's said it is temporary.

It doesn't change the nature or the fact Sync is broken and has stopped working in major areas where it impedes function.

This is really the core issue right here. Long periods of inactivity from ljdawson was more acceptable on Reddit as the backend software didn't change much so the app at least kept working. It's been over a year since the last update here and Sync for Lemmy still has some serious problems.

It's a shame because I love the app, but I've felt forced to move on.

I like Kimi but this seems a little weird. I know he has hype behind him but this just smacks of Merc trying to inflate his public image to start rebuilding after the loss of Lewis marketing value.

I'll still watch it.

A banana with a tall glass of milk is both tasty and typically enough to set me right. And takes no time to prepare, which is a bonus for late night snacks so you're not waking yourself up too much. I like to keep a banana in the fridge so it's cold to match the cold milk, which makes it taste better together somehow.

Might be clichéd but I would have probably gone for one of his depictions of Salome. I always loved Salome Dancing Before Herod, though The Apparition is maybe his most famous work. The picture on artvee doesn't do the latter justice though.

I love Gustave Moreau, but I don't think this is his most interesting piece.

To me this reads like anti-abortion propaganda which is a fairly unpopular position these days (and especially around these parts). Probably explains some amount of the downvotes.

I mean his teammates have changed quite a bit over the years. Best type of comparison imo would be percentage of times when his teammates made it to Q2 and Lance didn't (excluding data points influenced by mechanical failures and yellow flag interruptions etc or course). That would actually show a measure of failing to perform in a capable car.

 

I know these are always terrible, but this strikes me as particularly bad. Yuki driving the wheels off that car and getting screwed by his team is definitely a solid 7 👍

 

Seems to occur until app is restarted. If I use search, then to back to my home feed, open a post and then swipe to go back my keyboard still pops up.

 

I used to go to BrrrakeF1 (an ex race engineer for Red Bull), and would listen to the Engine Braking podcast for my F1 analysis fix in podcast form because of him. It's been over a year since he's quit content creation by now though, and I'm feeling the void still.

Does anyone else know of a podcast with good technical knowledge? KYLE ENGINEERS is always good for aero analysis at the start of a season, but ideally I want something more regular than that.

Amazing interview in 3 parts with one of not only the prominent writers behind the game, but one of the co-creators of the setting through years of tabletop sessions and world building. Amazing insights into the game, the development and the lore - an absolute must watch for anyone obsessed with Disco Elysium.

The beautiful game.

 

As an early contributor to Disco Elysium, as well as a member of Kurvitz's tabletop sessions over the years, Martin Luiga discusses Elysium, as well as touches on his relationships with Robert and Argo Tuulik and more. He also confirms he, Robert, Alex Rostov and Helen Hindpere are in fact working on something for Red Info.

Worth listen!

 

This one has Argo Tuulik and Lenval Brown involved, which lends some serious credibility to the project in my eyes. Tuulik was one of the prominent writers of Disco Elysium, as well as one of the settings' co-creators as one of the players in Kurvitz's tabletop RPG sessions.

 

Pictured in this graph: what xG does to a motherfucker.

I thought this graph was super interesting as it is a near-perfect illustration of when data analytics and advanced statistics started to enter into football (2014-2016) and some of the effects it's had on the game.

EDIT: Forgot to paste a link to the complete article.

Still have an open void in your life since the Olympics ended? Why not fill it with some esports? Valve's huge The International tournament for Dota 2 started this week, so I thought I'd make a promo post for its community here on Lemmy.

 

Not his best comic but there's some good stuff in there as always. The "Fatty" (sorry, body-positivity) Foulkes reference was a great deep cut.^[1]

 

Three weeks into her presidential run was the first time the Biden campaign’s pollsters — now hers — held a deep-dive call with Kamala Harris’ inner circle to discuss what she’s been saying on the stump.

Over the line came a lot of praise, but also some suggested tweaks. First, said veteran Democratic numbers man Geoff Garin, summarizing their analysis, stop saying, “We’re not going back.” It wasn’t focused enough on the future, he argued. Second, lay off all the “weird” talk — too negative.

Yes, stop using the two approaches that has been most effective. Absolute genius. I can't for the life of me see why the Dems have a reputation of shooting themselves in the foot.

EDIT: Thankfully Kamala trusted her instincts and has had the good sense to ignore said advice so far
