There is no movement for enlightened absolutism here. Just power hungry morally deprived backsliders.

I wasn't making a claim.
I was addressing the absurdity of
"Red*eck. N*gger. What's the difference?"
"City Sli*ker" was just a lite punchline.
That's OUR word. Being born white in Texas, I can use it. If you claim there aren't rednecks in towns, you've just exposed your own ignorance.

I can't believe you used the "R-Word" without censoring it even though it's in quotes. You don't want to cross the line that has been drawn or the wall that has been built and use the "R-Word" unless you are an "R-Word"
But then again, being that you used the "R-Word" in it's uncensored form, you just might be an "R-Word". In which case it's ok.
If you're a City Sli*ker, you're out of bounds, son.
That it's acceptable for the American cancer society to erect billboards stating "rednecks can be hazardous to your health"?
Black Mirror — Now Entering the Twilight Zone
In top 3 or 5 for USS Callister? I enjoyed it because I'm a Trek(ie/ker).
The USS Callister episode was pretty good, and I'd put it in the top 3 or top 5. Obviously, San Junipero is the best episode, and one of the best hours of TV, but Callister was up there.

The difference new engines make in Formula 1
from http://www.formula1.com/news/features/2014/1/15408.html:
Rule change: Introduction of new power unit consisting of a 1.6-litre V6 turbo engine and two Energy Recovery Systems (ERS)
Implications: The 2.4-litre normally-aspirated V8 engines of 2013 produced around 750bhp, with an additional 80bhp available for around six seconds per lap from KERS. The 2014 V6s put out around 600bhp. However, the two ERS systems (ERS-K and ERS-H) will give drivers an additional 160bhp or so for approximately 33 seconds per lap.
Transforming Formula One: 2014 Rules Explained by Red Bull
If there is a button the the steering wheel that gives an extra 100hp for overtaking by whatever method, I'm willing to call it push to pass. I expect that hitting the button would switch the engine to a high power torque mapping, use the MGU-H to spool up the turbo faster, and give a MGU-K boost exactly like last year's KERS button. I would also expect that not every team uses a steering wheel button for this function, but if Williams called it "push to pass" over the radio, I expect that they do. You could also have a separate engine mapping to do the same thing, and I expect that probably some teams do.
The RBR infringement was a bit more complicated than that. The FIA sensor was giving them inaccurate readings (it was reading high), and the FIA told them to apply an offset to the sensor values. They chose to use another method to ensure they weren't exceeding the 100kg/hr limit, and were excluded on the grounds that they had not sought permission from the FIA to do so and that it is not within their discretion to run a different fuel flow measurement method without the permission of the FIA.
I expect their appeal will be on the grounds that they did not in fact exceed the limit, and gained no advantage from their actions... and despite Christian Horner's level of confidence it could go either way. The last report I heard was that although they have lodged their intention to appeal, they have not yet actually tabled the appeal (but have a few more hours to do so).
Actually Mercedes were warned about the same issue. They chose to turn down their engines a bit to avoid the problem.
Formula one has been about getting around the rules at least since the 80s, and RBR have been very good at it. The camera mounting is very much in the category of satisfies the letter of the law, but very much goes against the spirit. I like the approach of using the camera mount as an extra wing actually (is it only the one team who did this?).
What they meant by this is to use all power available. They got 100l of fuel to go full 1½h race. The fuel flow is limited to 100l/h. That means they need to use around 67l/h on average, this of course decreases during braking and is almost at max during acceleration. Also energy recovery and the release of that energy has some leeway to be used in different ratios, it is limited to 33s per lap. How that energy is divided, is up to the team.. So they will have the full boost of 160hp from ERS and full 100l/h fuel flow when using "push to pass" button but it's nowhere near the common definition of that function. Traditional push to pass is high boost, on 2014 F1 it means few percentages of power. The correct term would be "overtake mode".
RBR infringed fuel flow rule and no other team had been even warned, FIA has guidelines that teams should calibrate with enough margins to void minor differences between sensors. RBR refused to do this and counted on FIA not counting that marginal change. FIA had stated pre-season that in no case there will be extra fuel flow allowed, it's almost zero tolerance policy.
They've done this before, made a marginal rule infringement and got away with Charlie Whitings slap on the wrist:"change it to the next race".. Their camera mountings is already one of those little things that is technically legal and at the same is not.. It all depends if the TV crews can find a suitable camera. If they say "no", the rules are clear: they need unobstructed view.. That small hole hardly allow high quality picture, the only lens that could even remotely suffice is fisheye lens with a mask: it is not their standard equipment.. RBR most likely will have to change those too (imho, so should merc camera pods and mclaren parachutes too). Compare that to Williams 360 camera pod and it's pretty clear what FIA means by "enough room to fit camera" means.
Last year they had holes on the floor in monaco: ruling was, change them to the next race.. Then there was the TC scandal, RBR used illegal engine mappings.. They used them last year too when there was a ban of feeding fuel to exhaust during zero throttle to feed the blown diffuser: RBR chuckled and used them anyway.. They still have the duct inside the nose, it violates the intention of the rule but is legal technically. Of course the severity of the punishment is a clear sign: FIA just showed that no more of that bullshit, RBR has to start respecting rules.
Drunk Mayor Ford's Extremely Inebriated Secret Violent Rant
The description was getting awfully long - but here's the additional context, worth reading this:
"Moments after the Star published the video online, Ford emerged from his office and apologized.
"The Toronto Star just released a video that I was very, very inebriated."
"All I can say is, again, I've made mistakes. I just wanted to come out and tell you I saw a video. It's extremely embarrassing. The whole world's going to see it. You know what? I don't have a problem with that."
"I hope none of you have ever or will ever be in that state. Obviously, I was extremely, extremely inebriated."
The target of the mayor's anger in the video is not in the room and is not known to the Star.
"I'll rip his f--king throat out. I'll poke his eyes out . . . . I'll make sure that motherf--ker's dead," Ford says, then hitches up his pant legs as if bracing for action.
His ire appears to be directed at someone who has called him, and brothers Doug and Randy, "liars, thieves."
The Star purchased the video from a source who filmed it from someone else's computer. The person with the computer was there in the room, the Star was told.
Wednesday, Ford's chief of staff Earl Provost said he could not speak to the Star about the video. "I am sorry I cannot talk to you about this," Provost said.
Also on Wednesday, the Star sent a transcript of the video, a description of the video's contents and an offer to show it to the following people in the mayor's circle: Ford, his brother Councillor Doug Ford, Provost, deputy chief of staff Sunny Petrujkic, spokesman Amin Massoudi, and to Ford's lawyer Dennis Morris.
The Star invited all of them to view the video, either at their office or the Star's office, and provide an explanation for Ford's behaviour. None of them took the Star up on its offer as of Thursday.
Last week, Police Chief Bill Blair announced that investigators recovered two video clips relevant to extortion charges laid against the mayor's "close friend" Alexander "Sandro" Lisi. One of those videos is of the mayor smoking what appears to be crack, which two Star reporters viewed in May.
There is no suggestion that this video is the second video Blair referred to in his press conference."
Physics and Biking
He went through the entire vid without mentioning Williams Hybrid Power, the spin-off from the flywheel storage developed for the Williams F1 car in 2008/2009:
Unfortunately it couldn't be scaled up to the increased KERS output required for the 2011 season, at least not in a way that fit in an F1 car, so Williams now run the same electric KERS as everybody else. The flywheels are used in other racing series and in road cars though, as mentioned in their vid.
One very obvious difference between the prototype bicycle system in this vid and the WHP version is that they are using relatively lightweight composite flywheels and then spinning them to speeds that would tear apart the car flywheel from this vid, typically 20,000 to 50,000 rpm. This greatly increases the amount of energy storage available which increases linearly with mass, but with the square of rotational velocity.

I love how they are marketing this thing as "hybrid".
..yeah.. KERS = Hybrid.
That means I get to drive in the carpool lane, right?

@dystopianfuturetoday
I like the human body and thats that.
The big tummy because I have been getting the munchies like a Mo**erfu*ker and such avatar exhibits that fact.
Mostly my avatar changes with mood/inspiration, however the sad clown theme is special because I just really like sad clown paintings. They are extremely expressive with the eyes. I think I developed a hobby with the clown avatars, I want to decorate my walls with these pictures. However I do not have any of these pictures, nor frames. Like I said, it is in the developing stages.
Evenin sir.
