Not sure about real racecars but with RC trucks it makes a huge difference if you brake or speed up in the air. It makes the “nose” go up or down.

The feeling you guy might get in “hoods” is the same feeling I, as a European get all over the US. I mean completely unrelated to race, just because many of you have guns and there’s much more violence and insanity in general.
That being said. Nobody tried to rob me and most people were very friendly. There where a few scammers though, I witnessed some disturbing stuff on the metro and I also witnessed a woman attacking a guy in a car which resulted in having her arm being stuck in the window and being dragged a few meters by the car.

You can already buy 2 component epoxy glue syringes. I guess they’ll fuse bones (and probably poison you)

It’s a mixed feeling for me. Definitely warm and comfy but also difficult to keep clean. I mean my grandparents somehow kept their home reasonably clean but on the other hand these brownish tones did a good job hiding the nicotine stains and the fabric everywhere could hide a lot of debris and dust.

I like most of the ZAZ movies and their humor. It’s mostly working with the surprise aspect of humor. Things happen and are said that people don’t expect. Maybe you don’t like surprises or you can predict them really well?

- Comment on What’s your favorite video game that most people didn’t like ?? 5 weeks ago:
At least none of the people I personally knew played it wanted to play it. Might be due to the marking though. I really enjoyed it, it played like GTA with fighting mechanics similar to Batman Arkham Asylum etc and I also thought the story was pretty neat

I understand. However, I’ve had very similar experiences with industrial cameras and sensors in a research setup.
Taking snapshots was ok, once you had setup everything (it only worked with GigE Network cards supporting jumbo packets and some other specific settings) and used their “acquisition” software (which could be automated). However, triggering multiple cameras at once at the exact same time was a similar experiences with additional trigger lines and multiple discussions with the manufacturers application engineers.
Even worse where non standard sensors line photosynthesis sensors or other industrial sensors used in a non standard setup. For the lidar I also had to read their hundreds of pages long documentation of their serial interface but send it via TCP in special packets which had almost no documentation. Depending on the command the byte order also had to be swapped which was not documented at all and I had to find it by trial and error.
For a different laser sensor that produces point clouds there was a simple interface to get preprocessed images but we wanted the raw point cloud data which also required to download the files from an on-device FTP server which also required so some guess work.
Later I worked in industrial settings with PLCs and these guys sometimes also go overboard with complex setups (I’m looking at you, Siemens RFID reader…)
So I’m not sure if it’s the military grade that makes it such an experience. Industrial grade seems like a similar experience. I guess a lot of consumer devices also do shit like that under the hood but hide it in firmware and drivers.
