Oh yeah, nano fibres reminds me:

What if he held the records of the conversation in line with the fibre? The whole notion that slicing the ship to pieces was the best way to recover that information was ludicrous, probably one of the absolute weakest parts of the whole show.

I'd happily start a thread to discuss the science in the show, as I find this part of physics fascinating. I don't think I'd get many takers though.

I dropped off of 3 body problem at ep5. They keep undermining their hard sci-fi for story convenience. It's been a few years but iirc they're following the book fairly closely for the main sciencey ideas. They're definitely sticking to the speed of light limit (apart from the magic of instant commu...

Interesting, doesn't sound like Trump will lose either way. He's got himself into a position that allows him to rig the game whatever happens.

Welcome to the S1 club, tell us more!

Correction, I think it must be Vivid Red I'm thinking of, saw Magma Red today and it's nice but perhaps a bit dark.

I can see me getting a 911 in a year or two and it being my go-to every day car. I don’t want a GT version; I’d always rather have something more focused like an Elise or Caterham. The Emira has to be worth trying. If it still doesn’t make me buy it on the spot then I’ll try another MX5 and if I do...

Colleague of mine has just got an A110, he's very happy with it. I'm looking forward to my p-ride next time we're on site together. I do like that green one you linked. For me they are rare enough to seem special, and they seem to have a growing enthusiastic following / community if that's something...

PS if anyone does want an MRI scan then volunteer for one of my studies. I'd happily volunteer for this! Yeah, me too! Free testing without having to beg the NHS has to be grasped! :lol: My mum died of the clogged arteries thing, and it's not something that's in our family history AFAIK, so it was ...

https://i.imgur.com/JT8ooIS.jpeg Genuine Q - in normal driving do you find the wind over the top of the windscreen hits your eyes? I have that issue in Elises and MX5s and I don't think my head is sitting much higher than yours? How tall are you? No, I think my crash helmet is quite chunky, in real...

https://i.imgur.com/JT8ooIS.jpeg First track outing for the Elise, it went well, and didn't miss a beat. I chose Snetterton, which I think was a good choice because the noise limits are quite high, and actually I really enjoyed the track too (plus plenty of run off). YK was on my mind, I'd probably...

Who was our resident Fast Renault guy???

Are you thinking of Andy Bond?

you can have a dozen pilots, if you can't control it and you're at the whim of the currents I'm confident @IanF could have averted this. I read elsewhere that there would indeed have been a pilot on-board for this section. I meant an escort tug, sorry, we always just used to call it the pilot, but ...

When I was working on the Thames, the PLA would insist on tug escorts for anything of any sort of size, and actually insisted there was some pulling capacity on site even when we had fully spudded barges without secondary moorings. Maybe there just isn't the funds for it in heavily trafficked commer...

Surprised there isn't a pilot when pulling out under a bridge like that TBH. I mean, they radio'd in a mayday saying they'd lost control of the vessel - you can have a dozen pilots, if you can't control it and you're at the whim of the currents, you're basically fucked regardless. I meant a pilot/t...

I'm not bothering watching this year. I've limited free time in my life and its not best spent watching fish pout win easily, nor paying more to Sky for the privilege. Will tune back in for 2025. I'm in much the same situation, can't justify a couple of hours out of my weekend to watch mostly borin...

I don’t think the core chassis is ever upgraded during a season? That would then invoke a raft of new crash tests with the FIA and every part would have to be adapted to fit? You might be right on that, but it will be another legitimate reason, supply chain issue etc etc. All I'm getting at is that...

Good to see someone else winning today, am I the only one who felt like all media outlets (from Sky where I watched the race, to Gunther in the interviews, to the BBC race report) tried to really play down the reality that Max's car was fucked from the start and that was the only reason Carlos won t...

It's been a month since winter testing and Williams haven't managed to make a spare chassis yet. James Vowles can bitch about the old Excel system as much as he wants but it's been a month ffs. Surely there could be any number of reasons for that? Perhaps they have an upgraded chassis in the wings ...
