Nothing between the McLarens again. We're really watching these two step it up against each other. It's cool to see

Which games made you go into an "addiction phase"? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

Factorio. I blinked and a month went by the first time I played it. It ruins my sleep schedule like no other.

Absolutely love it

Yup, it was a big factor in where we wanted to go outside of the US. I can't imagine going back to car life again

Yeah, when I lived in the US I had ~15 mins to work at ~30 home and I loathed it. I bike probably 85-90% of the time so I really just see it as my cardio time and appreciate it

Zuckerberg says people without AI glasses will be at a disadvantage in the future in c/technology@lemmy.zip

I agree tech bro wise completely. But there's all sorts of Engineering strides to come still. Plenty we don't yet know about.

But computing has been a solved problem for many years on all but the most intense levels. Since then silicon valley has been desperately trying to hang on to their former glory days like a has-been football player in his 50s

What book? The passage above seems great. Kind of Terry Pratchett–esque

I wonder how this looks for people with flexible commuting methods. I can bike to work (45 mins each way) or take the train with some walking (40 mins), or take the metro to the train with very little walking (50 mins). The fact that it's sometimes exercise helps break it up, and I don't much mind it

Exactly. We'll see with 2026, but I have big Next Year tm energy for them

I think he's overall doing a good job, despite all the Ferrari memes. Good to see him continuing on

Why is the sub name the way that it is? This will confuse potential new members in c/formuladank@lemmy.world

I'm not a new member here or the subreddit predating it. But I am confused, all the time, about everything.

Rain in Spa. My body is ready.

Lewis Hamilton, Kimi Antonelli and Fernando Alonso, who qualified 16th, 18th and 19th, have all taken new engines that push them over their allocation, and therefore will start from the pit lane. This in c/formula1@lemmy.world

Makes sense, especially in the wet

No clue the power train or anything. They said 400k Lego pieces to make the 10 cars

Jeg vil gerne øve mig (sopuli.xyz)
 

Hej!

Jeg har boet i København siden 2024 og jeg kan tale en lidt danske. Jeg vil gerne øve mig!

Can anyone recommend video games with at least decent Danish options? I hear the LEGO games are good. Any genre :)

Tak!

Looking for a book I've only heard of, not read (sopuli.xyz)
 

Hi!

Looking for a book that I know very little about. I heard from a Dan Carlin podcast a while ago about some stories compiled into a book. It was about people's memoirs of pre-WWII Germany, like 1920s and 30s, and specifically them trying to and sometime successfully leaving Germany for various other places.

Sorry, I have very few details about it. Any chance someone knows what it is?

Thanks!

Max gets a 1 place grid penalty for impeding Russell during Q3 (www.formula1.com)

It's a pretty solid impeding penalty, but I don't think I've ever seen a single place penalty be handed out for that.

Pretty wild and fun mini doc with interviews on some kids stealing Kia and Hyundai cars. A bit sad, as his videos often are.

If you got to start all over .... (sopuli.xyz)

We're moving to Denmark from the US soon, and are going to be (of course) selling our 120V setup and buying a whole new one. It's pretty exciting to be able to re-shop for things.

We currently have a Profitec GO and a Eureka Mignon Silencio grinder. I'd say my big want that we don't have is having warm water from the espresso machine easier to dispense (without small grounds in it) to pre warm cups, to make Americanos.

Either way, if you had the opportunity to do it all over again, would you change anything?

Hi all!

We're very excited to move to Denmark soon as lifelong Americans. I have a good job lined up, and we're set on a place to live for a while.

Any advice from people who have done it, looked it up, had friends who have done it, etc? Just in general :)

(not) shipping gaming PCs (sopuli.xyz)
 

Hi Lemmy!

My partner and I are moving from the US to the EU soon. We both have gaming PCs but they're a bit older, so we're thinking it's a great time to sell them, taking the SSDs, and buying new components there to avoid shipping them.

Any suggestions surrounding it? Maybe there's a good way to pay a little and backup the whole SSDs to the cloud?

I know it's not strictly gaming related but it sorta is? Sorry if this is inappropriate for the community

Sprint race pushed back 20 minutes to allow for a short testing session with new track limits. If the sprint data isn't favorable, they will mandate a 3 stop during the race with 20 laps max per tire
