YoFrodo , in one of the smallest mushrooms in the world

Isn’t it slime mold and not a mushroom at all?

Bubs ,

It’s a mushroom:

Mycena subcyanocephala is a species of fungus,[1] which has its habitat in the tropical parts of Taiwan. It has been spotted eight times. Mycena subcyanocephala is one of the smallest mushrooms in the world, with buttons about 1 mm tall. The species belongs to the Mycenaceae family, with Mycena interrupta being its closest relative.

It isn’t, but you’re right that slime molds can be this cool!

Tiny mushrooms spook me because all I can think of is them growing inside my lungs and on my body hooking me into the network

Eat a bag of psilocybin mushrooms and think about why being plugged into the mushroom consciousness scares you...

imPastaSyndrome ,

That… Sounds like an awful thing to do

It’s approximately 0.00000497 Furlong

It’s about one thirty-oneth attoparsec.

If I learned something from star wars is that parsec are a unit of time, so get out if here!

It’s about 1/76th the height of a Big Mac from McDonald’s.

Big Macs are a measure of weight not distance. Though you can also use them as a measure of force as long as you assume they are in 1G.

American or European?

Nougat , in After a Space Shuttle astronaut threatened to not come back unless he had more time to work on his experiment, NASA put a padlock on the airlock door and only the mission commander had the key.

In all seriousness, you can't be completely certain that anyone isn't going to suddenly lose their shit, whether in space or on the ground. Nobody is "immune" to mental health difficulties, and in especially risky conditions, there should always be some barriers between "normal operations" and "catastrophic shit-losing."

Space dementia is a real thing. I saw a documentary about that.

I hope this arrogant selfish bastard got in a shitload of trouble when he got back.

This is the lock picking lawyer and today we have a padlock on an airlock. Now, this is extremely difficult due to its location, but the lock itself is nothing more than a master lock that you can just bang on the side here, and it’s open. To show that it wasn’t a fluke…

It must be hard to manage the situation in space.

Right? I actually put off something else I was doing because I didn’t want to stop reading the article.

IWantToFuckSpez , in Formula 1 Pit Stop 1990 vs 2023

Crazy that the pit crew were just wearing shorts and tees and not even a helmet. They act like collisions and fuel spills have never happened before in the pit lane.

qarbone ,

Anything moving faster than them in the pit lane gets vaporized by friction with the air

I also enjoyed Merc’s double stack a while ago

And if you wanna see the exact opposite of double stacking masterclass… Look up Ferrari Monaco 2022 lmao

Arguably rules and regulations have changed too, to affect this. Back then they also refueled the car during pit stops. This has not been the case since 2010.

I believe that recently they have added a regulation forcing a sort of buffer time between the ready sign and when the car may leave

ConstipatedWatson ,

Wait, so now they never refuel them during pitstops?

They do the whole race just by filling the tank before the beginning of the race!?!

IWantToFuckSpez ,

Yeah. They start with around 100kg of fuel.

ConstipatedWatson ,

Wow, so now I’m curious why they didn’t do it in the previous years. I’m sure they refueled cars regularly during pitstops in the 1990’s

IWantToFuckSpez ,

You can run the car lighter if you can refuel during a pitstop. The extra time it cost to refuel is smaller than the lap time advantage a lighter car gives.

cosmicrookie ,
@cosmicrookie@lemmy.world avatar

Due to the sports environmental appeal they have moved to much smaller engines, that are way more power efficient than they used to (1.6lit V6 hybrids) . I don’t believe that they actually could run a whole race without refueling, in the earlier eras.

Further more they have added a limit on how many tires they can use per weekend (and per season) as well as how many engines and engine parts. In the “old” days they’d use a brand new engine for qualifying and discard it for a new one for the actual race. I belive that they are down to 3 engines per driver for the whole season.

ConstipatedWatson ,

This is great! Thanks for the explanation!

I should have thought about it, because it’s happened in regular life too: just like regular purpose cars on the street, even Formula One cars have become a lot more efficient and so they can run a lot more with a smaller tank.

It’s amazing how much they’ve improved cars and how it makes cars from the 1990’s appear clunkier (even if they did appear sleek at the time)

sherlockholmez ,

Yeah, since it’s safer.

GeneralEmergency ,

Yes. Not for the first time either.

When the video started, I immediately had this playing in my head.

Red Bull is consistently fast the past few years but that McLaren lit last year was amazing. Especially after the rule changes in recent years to try and slow down the pits for the sake of making sure the wheels are safely attached

chickenf622 , in Formula 1 Pit Stop 1990 vs 2023

How do they deal with potential collisions coming in and out of the lane like that?

wischi ,

Crews holding the car basically have to check. Failing to do so is called “unsafe release” and there is typically a penalty for that.

CptEnder ,

There’s also dudes who job it is to move their air lines out of the way for their neighbor’s pit stops. It’s pretty well orchestrated.

hawgietonight ,

It isn’t as chaotic as it looks. Going in the pit everybody is prepared and shouldn’t be any problem. Going out there is a mechanic that signals when it’s clear.

Sometimes there are screw ups, of course. Some bad and others quite funny, like when the driver stopped at his old team by mistake!

dutchess , in Formula 1 Pit Stop 1990 vs 2023

This isn’t exactly an apples-to-apples comparison since F1 instituted a ban on refuling cars during pit stops in 2010

DdCno1 ,

They aren't refueling during the 1990 pit stop though.

wrath_of_grunge ,
@wrath_of_grunge@kbin.social avatar

upon further investigation, it turns out this is exactly and apples-to-apples comparison.

who knew?!

Crashumbc ,

Well it looks like one of the guys had trouble with getting the nut on in the very first one…

He shouldn’t be embarrassed; it can happen to anyone.
