  I was pretty high up in Actuarial at a fortune 500 insurance company. At my old company, if you went to a competitor, your account was shut off that day and none of your unused time off was paid out.

  You don’t owe your company anything they won’t reciprocate. The company will continue to operate no matter who leaves under whatever circumstances - don’t fuck yourself for a faceless corporation.

  For sim, I utilize iRacing to practice and learn tracks before real life amateur endurance races in champcar and lemons as well as track days.

  IMO iRacing physics are so good and the tracks are so well modeled that it’s a very effective learning tool. It’s the first sim since Live For Speed that really feels close enough to real life for me to forget I’m playing a sim.

  Plus traffic management and race craft are so crucially important in wheel to wheel racing & I simply don’t get any other opportunity to practice those.

  Because there already are tracks without electricity where I live. When coming from a nearby major city, the train has to stop for 40 minutes while they switch from an electric to diesel power car

  Well a battery electric train is probably useful for those routes with a section that isn’t powered.

  Not sure if it would be awfully cleaner than a diesel electric train, because those are already pretty efficient as I understand it.

  Not sure what the problem is. Keep doing it.

  This is how I operate in most traffic jams, since I only own manual cars & it’s much easier on my leg.

  I genuinely don’t even remember any specific scenarios where somebody merging in caused me to have to come to a full stop (where I wouldn’t have had to stop if they didn’t merge). Not saying it never happened, but it was so rare and unnotable that I don’t remember.

  I do live in the northeast US, so maybe that has something to do with it, but I don’t usually feel like I spend meaningfully more time in traffic because I let a few people in front of me.

  Bonus benefit: my life is measurably better since I stopped getting pissed about people being in front of me. Road rage had such a broad impact on me, even after I got out of the car.

  I could be optimistic and say it’s a Porsche engine!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Happy Pride! 🏳️‍🌈⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Looks like a Subaru engine

  We used to distinguish AI as automatically / programmatically making a decision based on an ML model, but I’m guilty of calling it AI for wow factor, lol
