Yup, the lab could tell a difference! Shiney side (so mill roller facing, as opposed to the dull side which faces the other layer of aluminum) was marginally more reflective, but I believe (and a former coworker also remembered it as) it was less than a tenth of a percent (<0.1% for the visual folks)

Anyone who says it affects cooking time or something is mistaken, I'd wager.

Former process engineer in an aluminum factory. Aluminum foil is only shiny on one side and duller on the other for process reasons, not for any "turn this part towards baking, etc" reasons.

It's just easier to double it on itself and machine it to double thickness than it is to hit single thickness precision, especially given how much more tensile strength it gives it.

Also, our QA lab did all kinds of tests on it to settle arguments. The amount of heat reflected/absorbed between the two sides is trivially small. But if you like one side better you should wrap it that way, for sure!

Just played it. It's indeed short but fun. I enjoyed it enough to wishlist it

He's just in cosplay for his favorite restaurant

That was a fun hot ones. Struggled, but sent it anyway. Nothing to promote or sell. Some fun anecdotes. I liked it! Hope more F1 drivers get to go on the show.

I just wanna say that as someone who designs user interfaces for a living, I always do whatever I can to play with UI/UX in my normal life.

At a gas station, playing ads, I always start tapping and holding the little buttons near the screen. Almost always holding 2 across from each other goes into a mode where it shuts up, and continues pumping. Plus it's like a fun little arms race of a game for me.

Okay, I like physical games and don't like the whole gamestop meme thing, so I went to Best Buy a few times for games. They didn't have Pikmin 4 when it came out, and no one there heard of it. I went to Target next door and they had some promo stuff they gave out and the person working the games section was dressed up like Oatchi.

Guess I'll go to Target for physical releases, not BB.

That is an amazingly bad worst format, I absolutely love it.

I like the idea of running a full tire rainbow (at least the 3, maybe C2-C5 instead) in a race. Lots of pits, lots of out and in laps. You can decide how hard you want to push cold and new tires, with some steady laps between

Russell missed out by a millisecond, wild. Great qualifying session, dang

Yup! That's what I was thinking of. I'm almost certainly wrong but I was under the impression that they couldn't prove it because they didn't have a like for like DRS actuator mount, but that could've been the potential way out of the DQ if they had

Like I said, probably wrong and misremembering

Wow, Charles has only converted 4 poles? That's surprisingly low to me. The car has been faster in quali than race for years and he's a great qualifier, but still

Unless it was a parts failure that happened on track, I believe, and you had a like for like that wasn't. It would be interesting to know by how much it was over, but almost certainly a DQ if that's true

It's honestly just such an insane start to a career. The Australia 2007 race start, and the pre race "this is hype, this kid is going places" is super cool. Passing the WDC on the opening lap was great foreshadowing.

I said this a lot, it'd be like if a rookie came to red bull last year and passed max into turn 1 and almost beat him for the whole season. Just otherworldly

This is why you keep your safety features consistent. If they want bag close mode, then make it where you hold instead of press a button or something. It "happening automatically" is just unpredictable to most, not magical

A return to Williams seems like such a good fit

Man, that move to Merc looked sooooo dumb from the outside, and it was obviously one of (or the) best F1 career move there's ever been.

If he gets that right twice, Ham is 100% the goat of career management

Wow, this is wild.

Go to Williams you coward!

Ah it's good to be back

Agreed on both fronts. I liked DAS and imagine a world where it wasn't banned and restarting from a safety car was closer to racing immediately. I guess that isn't necessarily a good thing or a bad thing, but it seems everyone would impliment between seasons.

Hopefully they have less setup pains, last year was insanely hot and cold on setup

I do fear, but I hope you're wrong
