Tennis has a long history of ‘Battle of the sexes’ matches.

1998: Karsten Braasch vs. the Williams sisters Another event dubbed a “Battle of the Sexes” took place during the 1998 Australian Open between Karsten Braasch and the Williams sisters. Venus and Serena Williams had claimed that they could beat any male player ranked outside the world’s top 200, so Braasch, then ranked 203rd, challenged them both. Braasch was described by one journalist as “a man whose training regime centered around a pack of cigarettes and more than a couple of bottles of ice cold lager”. The matches took place on court number 12 in Melbourne Park, after Braasch had finished a round of golf and two shandies. He first took on Serena and after leading 5–0, beat her 6–1. Venus then walked on court and again Braasch was victorious, this time winning 6–2. Braasch said afterwards, “500 and above, no chance.” He added that he had played like someone ranked 600th in order to keep the game “fun” and that the big difference was that men can chase down shots much more easily and put spin on the ball that female players could not handle. The Williams sisters adjusted their claim to beating men outside the top 350.

We’re still talking about professional athletes though…. If you were good enough to beat any of them then why the hell are you not doing exactly that?

In all honesty I swapped from a Titan X (2015) to a 3080(2020). That was a 5 year gap and it’s right there again but haven’t needed anything more for anything I play. Pretty sure I’ll likely just buy a used last gen card whenever it is I need another one. Which will likely be far easier to get as everyone kills themselves for the new gen while also being cheaper. It will still be a noticeable upgrade to me. Don’t understand the need to upgrade every year or every other year even. The improvements are so small between gens now.

Took a bit to get the 3080 founders that I needed to physically fit my case and never again…it’s just not worth the headache.

Ordered a number of drives from them recently. This is what they showed up in. Foam at the top and bottom of the smaller boxes, with each drive in a bag. Then both smaller boxes were in the larger box with some bubble wrap. Dates on each drive ranged from July 2022-July 2024.

I still hate to this day one of my parents cars. The gear shift is on the side of the radio and the radio controls(what isn’t touch screen) are underneath.

I’d imagine they mean wheel speed sensor which is used by the ABS/traction control to detect which tire is slipping/locked up. Usually just a magnet that reads high/low spots on a ring of some sort.

I think I like the premise a bit more than the show. Zom 100 is about a kid who starts a soul crushing office job only to become the happiest guy alive after the zombie apocalypse starts and he realizes he doesn’t need to go to work anymore.

Your question immediate took my mind back to this 15+ year old clip. Maybe use it as an ice breaker😂. The moms awkward attempt is before where the link jumps.

As a side note…if he shares a shower with someone with long hair and you don’t use a hair strainer or something. The process of removing the clogged hair is gonna get a bit more gross.

A lot of modern cars can appear to be ‘running just fine’ but underneath the covers it’s pulled timing, altered fuel trims, etc. to appear normal and/or avoid damage but the computer stills knows that’s not a normal situation and alerts you to the problem. Unless you hook a scanner up and actually find out what the idiot light I telling you then you can’t be sure if it’s a false positive or not.

They released this on 4K with HDR(Dolby Vision) fairly recently. The special features go into how they remastered it and brought in people from the original crew to get it just right. They use HDR to mute the colors for the real world and saturate them for the dream world. Also has a Dolby Atmos track for the Japanese audio. Listening to them go on about the confetti was interesting.

EV’s already weigh more than most of their ICE equivalents. I don’t think we want even heavier chemistries in them. You could reduce the battery capacity to keep the weight down but then it’s a double hit to range.

Heck a Model S weighs more than a fair number of F150’s on the road.

Model S: 4,323-4,960 lbs

F150: 4,021-5,540 lbs

This is already being worked on with STIR/SHAKEN. Very similar to certificates with websites. You want to place a call as a certain number? Where is your proof you own that number? Now we’ll place your call. Your cell’s recent call list should already be showing little check marks on certain callers. Those are authenticated.

I see this question a lot and the answer is always highly specific to what equipment you have. It looks like turning up the center channel was a solution for you.

Another thing to try would be setting the crossover on the center channel so that it doesn’t play anything below a certain frequency. Most center channels aren’t made for bass so trying to make them play it muddles them. The room correction should be doing this but they’re weird sometimes. Some let you choose the exact frequency and others have a small/large designation for each speaker. With ‘large’ being able to play lower so you might try ‘small’ if that’s a thing. I’ve also found that using the room measurement/correction feature locks you out of certain settings sometimes. So that’s a pain…

My center channel is a massive quad woofer, dual tweeter monster…dialog isn’t an issue for me. It’s actually turned down 3dB. I also suspect part of this is D+…cause I own that movie on Blu-ray and the 7.1 DTS-HDMA track there is fine.
