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!

This is the most dominant season in decades, so yup it's actually THAT far and away

That was hilarious.

Also no way only Sacha baron Cohen is acting in this, right? Like a few others are in on this, surely

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?

I really hope you can actually shitpost your way into an Oscar and thanks for the reply potential-future-Oscar-winner-Margo-Robbie. I liked Barbie!

That's amazing, and the best reason I've heard to start using Arch. I kinda like that no one even gets it, and I'm always a tiny bit sad that package manager doesn't make their loading bars pacman eating dots

Okay, I'll bite

First off, I totally agree! People are my much nicer here and the little notification is often a nice thing.

So I read a bit of your post history. I'm not the -most- socially aware but I'm assuming sans-proof you're not actually Margot Robbie. So like ... Why? Is it a promo thing? Weird quirk? Actually an actor doing "normal people stuff"? Do you actually use Arch(why?)?

I so wanted to see the mask for the fake Indonesian porno!
