The hubris the man had was so perfectly demonstrated in his interview.

"There's a rule you don't do that. Well I did."

And now he's dead.

Something could have gone wrong electronically or mechanically warranting a ballast drop. I have considered this to be a possibility outside of them hearing cracks and suddenly wanting to go up.

I would be cautious with this thought process though. Oil cools, lubricates and cleans the engine. These engines are air cooled so keep that in mind. Degraded oil can't do the job very well.

Clean up your tabs please. Omg

You'll find a majority of gaming oriented laptops do this already. No accidents.

Whereas mainstream low to high end sticks it somewhere to be smashed accidentally.

It seems the average in the US is 10 years. But you can develop it and reach critical levels in as little as 5 years. Hard alcohol every day. Multiple times a day.

I use Mint (T-Mobile towers), $120 every 3 months. Unlimited calling, texting and data (your speed is throttled after 40GB). Included is 10GB hotspot data. I have absolutely no issues with it.

I don't know if this is well known, but Lamborghini has a track record of loud exhaust, period. Regardless of valve state. Huracan Performante owners requested that Lamborghini make the next special edition a little quieter. Reason being the Performante was too loud even on race tracks. Track day drivers know there are noise limits that vary by track. You're asked to leave immediately if you exceed the limit. You may also receive a temporary ban and/or fine.

What did Lamborghini do? Make the Huracan STO even louder across all driving modes. The company demonstrates it believes noise limits themselves are annoying. While I do like loud cars myself, sometimes a noise compliant normal or comfort mode doesn't exist.

It's always been bad practice to just blindly update software. That's why we have different distros.

Ubuntu and Mint hold your hand and make it easy for newcomers. Great way to dive into Linux. I completely agree these are great for "it just works" and no fuss. I've not had one break on me.

Arch and Gentoo expect you to have experience and know what you're doing. You build it up how you want it. That's what makes these so great. But you need the experience and knowledge.

I've personally tried openSUSE and in my opinion it feels like a good middle ground between both ends. In the past I've recommended Mint to get started, openSUSE once you've got experience, and then Arch for when you want total control.

Different crew. It was so badly reviewed, viewer count fell off a cliff, so Discovery pulled the show after season 15.

Edit: To be clear, season 14 was the final season with the original hosts. Discovery renewed it for season 15, two years later after casting new hosts

This is so true and it hurts.

Have a mouse, keyboard and speaker set from 2004-2005. They all still work. I've bought several new Logitech products since 2015 and all have failed or have some defect. I've reached the point where I don't buy anything Logitech.
