Does it just ellipsis off (…)?

One tap on the alt text fixes that

I totally agree. It’s not like the ~7-1700 time for my sunlight hours is super intuitive. If it was 23-11, I’d be fine after a few months, and a lot of problems would be solved.

Dan Olson has a good video on this topic. It’s tough to get into some larger player base competitive games

Yeah, if you’ve played DnD 5E I’d say you’re already well on the way to knowing how BG3 works technically. If not, it’s prolly a bit of a learning curve but the game does start soooorta slow at level 1, though 4 characters is a lot. Look up some common archetypes!

Computing power and storage! By the day. It’s but a silver lining with regards to the price hikes of everything all around, but it’s something

Like I said, some exciting racing. There was a photo finish (0.053) for the podium last race!

But for someone who is a nerd about it, some of the most exciting parts are Thursday and Friday when the teams show up with upgrades. Seeing it come together on a Sunday is awesome, but sometimes less dynamic.

If you want insane racing, just watch motorcycles

I’m not sure what you’re referring to but not at all! It’s the inverse of a “spec series” (which still benefit greatly from engineering) where you get handed parts to use. Teams can design the vast majority of parts themselves and do

So much cool matsci!

The exhaust is no longer titanium (it’s inconel) because they 3D print the complicated bits of it now instead of traditional forming techniques

Massive F1 fan here.

It’s more of an engineering sport than a driving sport. Don’t get me wrong– the drivers are absolutely top notch and do an incredible job and it’s entertaining to watch. But since it’s sooooo engineering and development based, you cars that perform different on different tracks (cuz of elevation, temperature, track design, surface).

It’s pretty neat; worth a watch sometime!

Holy shit that is absolutely bonkers.

That was hilarious.

Okay now’s my time to shine. The words “emoji” and “emoticon” are false cognates, as in they aren’t actually related. Emoticon is a few-decade old word to describe emotion+icon, like :)

Emoji is Japanese (kanji - 絵文字) for picture-word, basically. It super outdates computers.

They just happen to sound similar; isn’t that fun?
