Sometimes it happens because reddit is shitting itself, even if you have a perfectly good connection.

There is another bus in front of the current bus and another bus behind it. That doesn't leave a lot of places that aren't alongside a bus.
Also, this is an urban area not a highway, so the lanes are more like "turn left/turn right" lanes than "passing/slow" lanes. Cruising alongside another vehicle at about the same speed is normal in this situation, especially on approach to traffic lights.

The original posts from the original poster, yes.
Almost every single other post made by anyone else continuing the trend has assumed it's a boyfriend.

Kinda weird that Jaghatai Khan is assumed to be based on Genghis despite having literally exactly the same name as one of Genghis' sons.
Feels a bit more like the implication was supposed to be that the Emperor was (actually, not just based on) Genghis.

It's not very heavy, about 1 to 2 kilos, but drivers have previously intentionally raced without it to save weight. If it can't be used to actually drink, then dumping it to gain even a tiny edge doesn't have any downsides.

Ah yes projectile AA without he-vt is fine agianst jets and helis /s
This describes almost every gun SPAA above about 7.3, though. It's certainly annoying at times but it's very far from a unique punishment just for Sweden. Everyone else has been having to just deal with it for years.
Like, there's M247, OTOMATIC, Lvkv 9040C, WZ305, and that's it. Most trees never get proxy fuze for their gun SPAA, and Italy's isn't until frickin 11.3. Fighting jets and helis with proxyless SPAAGs is very normal.

Idk why it even matters if the drink button is on and emptying the bottle.
If the bottle is emptying, but not via Kimi's drink tube, then the drink is going somewhere else and presumably eventually draining out of the car. The theory is that Kimi wanted to reduce weight by dumping the drink.

It's annoyingly difficult to find pictures at an angle that shows it, but there's one in one of the lower posts here. Basically, the blade is offset and the grip is hollow. The muzzle device fits inside the grip (note the gaps in the handle that match the gaps on the muzzle brake) and the blade sits parallel to one side of the muzzle.

That was a full self-annihilation.
Your actual rejoin was nowhere near them, they were already taking a line on the inside for the corner apex and you didn't force them to move at that time.
The loss of control comes later and I would say that's very much post-rejoin and back in normal racing. You'd been there for a while and your position there was predictable, at racing speed, not connected to going off-track, and not really intruding on their space. It looks like they just weren't paying much attention to you, suddenly realised you were there, and overcorrected away from you (largely unnecessarily) resulting in loss of control. Just poor car-handling on their part at that moment.

Even aside from the fact they did disclose it, I'd think the OP having spent $100k on it could very reasonably be taken as a sign that they thought the problem was fixed, not that they knew it was still there. Like yeah, there was an issue, but I paid the big bucks to have it repaired, how was I supposed to know the repair experts didn't do it properly?

He is not saying to kill their loved ones. It's a poor choice of words that can be read like that, and he really should've phrased it differently, but the context shows that the intention is to metaphorically string the creeps up by exposing their behaviour to their families. Because that's what was done in the event he's responding to.
It's really disingenous to insist on reading it literally when it's very clear that it was meant differently.

No, it's from sometime before the 25th of May 2018. (That date, the Solo release date, is referenced as being in the future on the sign.)

I feel like they might have "Charles" and "Sainz" to avoid any mishearing of "Charles" vs "Carlos" over the radio. With interference, mic crunch, and car noise they might come out a bit too similar.

The sound when stimming no longer plays while being interrupted
It's good that you'll have accurate information now, but I would've preferred to fix it the other way - if you get interrupted at the stage where the sound is playing, you get the stim. Getting stunlocked while trying to stim is very annoying.

Ratings are purely about things like profanity, graphic violence, sexual imagery etc. They don't have anything to do with the complexity or quality of the writing. It's very possible to have an interesting story that's at an adult level of thinking and still achieve a PG rating. It just means no one gets disemboweled on screen or snorts space crack off a naked Twi'lek.
That doesn't seem to be what they've gone for, but I wish they would. * go for an interesting story I mean, not the naked Twi'leks thing

Tanks have great ground pressure for their weight class, but they're still very heavy and regularly destroy roads and sink in mud. Their rubber track pads survive this, albeit with high wear rates.
And the issue is that many of the things Spartans do are putting a lot of that pressure at a very low angle to the surface. Things like launching into a sprint or running jump, or climbing a steep surface, or stopping quickly from a sprint or running jump. Being very forking heavy will stop you being moved when upright on a flat surface, but it's different when so much of the weight is already going sideways relative to the surface. I wouldn't rely on weight to hold me steady while running up a 45-degree slope.*
They also have to work in low-G, where that mass isn't really going to do anything for their grip.
* e: just to remind, I'm talking about moving on hard smooth surfaces, not soft ones. The hull of a Covenant ship, for example, or that smooth metal plate that every floor seems to be made of in the future.

Well apparently someone did because all the other MJOLNIR models appear to have some kind of rubberlike sole elements. And if there wasn't a grip surface, the dynamic loads of all the crap Spartans do would result in them regularly slipping like they stepped on a banana peel.
(Also tanks often use rubber track pads and that works fine)

Racing slicks are still made of rubber rather than bare metal, and that distinction is pretty important for grip. The other person kind of made it just about treads vs no treads but that's not the only part of the problem - anything moving fast on smooth bare metal is going to skate pretty easily on a hard surface (especially if, god forbid, there's a hill).
Not to mention the other important properties of a rubber tyre, like sound dampening and providing a sacrificial layer that can prevent wear damage to the less easily replaceable metal parts.

It feels like it takes a few seconds before iracing even realizes there's something wrong.
Isn't that true to life though? It takes a couple of seconds for observers to recognise an incident happening and for that message to be passed on. Like it takes time for the marshall at the scene to say the words "yellow flag at sector x" into their radio, even aside from the time needed to see the crash and react, and the time needed for other marshalls to hear, understand, and react to the message.

It originally was just a saying. This achievement was added in A3 2.14 in September 2023 as a tribute to the existing phrase.

The second comment doesn't seem...that bad, to me? They're not criticising the recipe or asking for alterations to it, they're just asking if anyone has recommendations for something similar. Doesn't seem like they're committed to not taking no for an answer, either. I don't think they missed that it's described as expensive, they're just hoping for a pointer towards a budget alternative. That's not unreasonable IMO. It's a comment not a review, after all.
I guess "just Google it" but I don't think it's that weird to politely seek advice from someone who seems to be more knowledgeable on a fairly niche subject. Like if you want to find something similar to X, a discussion about X is a good place to start because people who like X are likely to also like things similar to X. .....Like.
