    The Incredible Hülk Returns, 2023 F1 Season

    Yes, you (and kfoss and cgori) are absolutely correct. After some sleep and with the benefit of hearing a replay, it's now clear Brundle said, "The German, the Chinaman... the man from Japan" in reference to Hulkenberg, Zhou, and Tsunoda respectively. In the moment I didn't catch "the German"...

    The Incredible Hülk Returns, 2023 F1 Season

    Thanks for the corroboration. Agreed that it wasn't intended to be malicious, but what a cliched racist slip up – Yuki isn't even Chinese. Edit/Correction: The commentator's slip up referred to Zhou, not Tsunoda. Apologies.

    The Incredible Hülk Returns, 2023 F1 Season

    Anyone watching live? I'm up way too late and pretty tired, but I swear the color commentator on the Sky broadcast, Martin Brundle, used the term "Chinaman" in reference to Yuki Tsunoda. It sounded like he recognized the gravity of the slip in real time, paused a beat, course corrected, then...

    Formula 1 - 2021 - Chasing down Lewis?

    It was fortuitous for Lewis (and Mercedes) that the DQ penalty occurred on a sprint weekend, allowing him to mitigate most of the penalty before the actual Gran Prix. Incredible drive. With Lewis in peak form and a new engine delivering overwhelming speed, RB must be pretty uneasy.

    Formula 1 - 2021 - Chasing down Lewis?

    Hamilton was pretty wide of the apex when he made contact with Max, but seemed to keep it much tighter on subsequent moves to the inside on that corner. I would have preferred if Leclerc had held on. It feels a bit lame to cause an incident that disposes of one's rival, then win anyways...

    Formula 1 - 2021 - Chasing down Lewis?

    According to the team radio, Lewis did turn off the magic, but accidentally re-engaged it on an upshift. View: https://youtu.be/aOgAr2mUcQg

    Psssssssst 2021

    For what it's worth, Pedro threw 9 perfect innings to start a game in 1995, but it went to extras tied 0-0. He gave up a hit to start the 10th. https://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/SDN/SDN199506030.shtml

    It's somehow comforting to know he's not immune to presbyopia.

    Is my storage hard drive dying?

    It's pretty much been covered, but I want to emphasize that your drive is almost certainly failing. Omar is right, it's best to fully disconnect a failing drive until you are ready to try to pull the data; any needless wear and tear should be avoided because it's only going to get worse. Given...

    Amazon

    Does this work with Amazon Smile? I replaced www with smile in Nip's link and it looks like it works, but I have nothing to order at the moment.

    Ghosting a SSD?

    This software should do what you need. https://neosmart.net/EasyBCD/ I've never used it, but it should do the job. Alternatively, you could always re-clone the old drive to the new one with Clonezilla...

    The Future of Football: NYTimes Links Big Tobacco with NFL Concussion Study

    Interesting thread.  While reading through and thinking about the risk of injury or death in sport, my mind drifted to the Isle of Man time trial course.  People die nearly every year on that course.  In the last 70 years, about 240 people (participants, spectators, officials, etc.) have died...

    Old pictures of Pedro

    Thanks for sharing these.  Pedro is my favorite player of all time and it's not even close.  It's cool to see some photos that had been lost to time, so to speak.     Incidentally, for anyone curious, here's a link to the stats for the 1991 Bakersfield team:  ...

    Getting an overkill PSU isn't really a bad thing, especially with the high efficiency PSUs nowadays that can deliver 80+% efficiency even when operating at small fractions of their potential. However, to give a little perspective on wattage and what's necessary for anyone that's curious, I have...

    Watching Movies: Hard Drive to TV over WiFi

    You can hack, and I use that term fairly loosely in this instance, the ATV 1 and turn it into a pretty damn nice XBMC box. First step is to open the ATV 1, pull the wireless card, and replace it with this decoder card. If you do this you'll need a wired connection (or a wireless-ethernet...

    Let's Talk about the manager -- The John Farrell Thread

    I can understand the "give him one base-runner" mentality with a starter deep in the game and/or at a high pitch count, but I didn't understand it tonight with Doubront. Doubront was dealing and one base-hit doesn't change that. Plus, with the lefty Carpenter coming up and Doubront quite skilled...

    Let's Talk about the manager -- The John Farrell Thread

    It seems like he was unusually worried about contact, so he threw a preponderance of off-speed pitches and primarily out of zone. Just from memory in the 2nd inning (pitchfx doesn't have anything up yet), Avila got 1 fastball and only 2 pitches in the zone en route to a walk and Jackson got 1...

    AppleTV

    I have a first gen. model that I got for free. So I opened it up, pulled the wifi card, replaced it with a video decoder card, then used the excellent Crystalbuntu to get Ubuntu on it and running XBMC. It makes for a pretty nice networked (wired, obviously) media player. It handles 1080p...
