Flashbacks to when I lived in the UK and so much misinformation in the (failed) referendum to get it there.

Made me realize: Consider the average voter and then consider explaining the merits of different voting systems to them. It'll never happen.

So conflicted. On the one hand good to see them actually sticking to the rules as written, but then: common sense 😵‍💫

That Lando jump start (www.planetf1.com)
 

“The stewards reviewed positioning/marshalling system data, video and determined that the video appeared to show that Car 4 moved before the start signal was given,” their report began.

“However, the FIA approved and supplied transponder fitted on the car did not indicate a jump start.

“Article 48.1 a) of the Formula One Sporting Regulations states clearly that the judgment of whether or not there was a jump start is to be made in accordance with the transponder, which did not show a jump start. In the circumstances, we took no further action

Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson:

It scans all the activity on your phone, or your devices, your laptop, what have you; we do all of it,” Johnson told the panel about the app

It sends a report to your accountability partner. My accountability partner right now is Jack, my son. He’s 17. So he and I get a report about all the things that are on our phones, all of our devices, once a week. If anything objectionable comes up, your accountability partner gets an immediate notice. I’m proud to tell ya, my son has got a clean slate.”

In what ways are people today being convinced to spend money beyond their means? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world
[–] davetapley@lemmy.world 6 points 7 months ago (1 children)

OP using word 'convinced' is relevant here because whilst most people in USA 'need' a car (because there is no practical alternative to driving), they are being convinced every day that a private car is the only viable solution to transport in general...

... and then of course you get everyone freaking out when someone has the audacity to suggest that installing a dedicated bike / bus lane would mean less people need a car, and that would save everyone time and money.

Also while I'm ranting, I'm so over people harping on about how they can't rely on public transit and that's why they need a car. Like reliable and affordable public transport is some magical and unobtainable goal.

But then when gas prices inevitably get crazy high, or they get in a wreck, or traffic is a mess then that's just The Way It Is and in no way an indication that maybe everyone driving a personal car for every single trip isn't the most reliable or sustainable way to run a city.

Did you see spin off Practical Construction yet? That's next level production, my wife laughed at me waiting for next ep like it's GoT or something.

Also do you notice that YT never pushes PBS videos? I'm subscribed but always have to go to channel.

Since you like a lot of same as me: check out Climate Town.

Awesome camera work in Pre-Qualifying Show - Qatar (lemmy.world)
 

I wish I could share it, but I guess DRM makes the screen go black.

Starting at 09:00 in the F1 TV Pre-Qualifying Show - Qatar the presenters are standing in the pit lane with a regular camera, and start talking about Alonso.

Then it cuts to a shot of them from overhead using the pit lane cable camera, which immediately starts rolling down in the pit lane until it reaches the Aston Martin garage where it zooms in to the car being worked on.

Really cool attention to detail. And the first time I've seen that camera used by the F1 TV people.

Has anyone had any experience with this? The science sounds interesting, but I'm not sure if it's worth the cost.
