I really have driven that fast on snow covered roads. I also attended most of the formula car racing schools in the US and One in Canada, I also have extensive skid pad and slidecar training and experience I have numerous wins in both dry and rain and I have beaten professional racing instructors... I was also offered a professional racing contract. So for me that was safe to do.
After years of being a Very Successful illegal street racer, I finally had the money to attend professional racing schools and then enter open wheel Formula Cars races. To be clear, I street raced in and around NYC late at night and alone because I would not risk any of my friends lives in the event of the worst outcome that is Always possible.
I can remember drives I have taken years and years later. Going fast is my thing and has been since I was 6 years old. However if you ask me about my first organized Formula Car race: I have virtually No Memory of those 20 or so minutes of my life... I remember the warmup lap and the green flag but thats about it.
It took a while and a lot of effort but yes I did eventually dominate on the track. I won races, poles, fastest laps and I was offered the chance to turn pro... I mention this only to give credence to the oddities that Stress and/or Fear have on memory.
So now when I hear reports of Police in shootouts Not Remembering what happened... I UNDERSTAND.
Extremely High speed precision driving is possible Only because of footwork. Walter is just UnFrickenBelievable: Left foot braking. Heel and Toeing. And playing the Throttle to both catch slides And create them to--rotate the car into the corners.
PS: In the silicon valley vid the Tesla is in the middle of its lane most of the time. That makes zero sense.
Also it passed by that U-haul truck which was at a 45 degree angle pointing right at it. The smart move would have been to get into the left lane and thereby making it impossible to be hit by either the U-haul Or another vehicle in front of the U-haul which would have been hidden from view.

Driving is both Science and Art. I doubt if "they" have any clue about this fact. I really do.
* Note: I'm the OP btw. And yes I understand Walter's footwork.
>> These remedies just aren't realistic for a large number of third shift workers.
Its difficult to explain to people who live in cities how different things are in the suburbs. There's no street lights or even Sidewalks where I live. There is No Public transportation in off-peak hours, none. And ride-share... with who--someone who lives miles away from you?? What about in the snow when its a bitch to just get your own ass in on time.
This the reality for millions and millions of people in the US.
I work for a Huge healthcare corporation; they own 23 hospitals and employ over 60,000 people. Yet lunch breaks are 30 minutes long--an Adult can not eat a healthy meal in 30 minutes, a 6 year probably could though, they require far less food than a grown man.
They also constantly promote walking as a real form of exercise---which is a joke. You have to workout to be healthy: working out, in case you don't know, is painful and it makes you smell bad; but there is No substitute.
I have Vastly different and Very fond memories of Motels from my teenage years: firstly with my future soon to be ex-wife; and later some of her "surrogates". Just sayin.
>> F1 is definitely trying to make the teams and their engineering more similar than different, why do you think the whole regulation part exists even?
I agree, especially under the new owners. And for sure the cars are built according to each teams interpretation of the rules (which are of course subject to scrutineering). But that still leaves massive room for innovation.
Lewis is sitting in the same cockpit as Bottas is... their results are frequently vastly different due to their individual interpretation of events.
I actually posted earlier that F1 is a "circus"... I agree. It is however a Very Real Sport insofar as the drivers are World Class Elite Athletes... especially the few who can run at the front.
>> to level the field even more, I think the FIA should require teams to release the design of their computer hardware after X time.
But that is Not what Formula One is about... it is Not a Spec series where the cars are equal to each other. It is a competition where each team builds their own race car to compete against the other iterations of race cars built by the opposing teams. It is Not meant to be fair or equitable. We have Indycar and NASCAR for that.
Ditto with the drivers: Is Max or Lewis comparable to say a Mazepin or even a Hulkenberg? No they are Not.
It's a Spectacle, it's a Circus... that is what F1 is about. And I tell you, as a racer there is nothing else that is its equal in terms of pure audacity both from a standpoint of driving talent and car performance.
Pictograph instructions: that's the real SOB of ADHD.
Reading novels is not a chore for me, depending. I typically find an author I like and then read the the hell out of his writing. Stephen King short stories are a pretty good place to start imo if you want to get into reading (again), though I started with Vonnegut myself.
I am a famous re-reader of books btw. Its like slipping into a comfortable "another world" for me. Pure escape.
The benefits of ADHD far outweigh any of the negatives for me. I wouldn't trade the Hyperfocus I possess when I drive and/or race with being able to tell my right from left (without consciously thinking which hand I write with) or being able to find my way across towns without navi For ANY amount of money.
I did try ADHD meds for a few weeks once--but it wasn't for me. I am who and what I am.
I did Not say "Legal Precedent". And it is Absolutely an "example" of Society believing that certain ideas, and not necessarily racism (and to be clear if you are a racist you are a complete idiot, and beneath contempt); should Not be allowed to be expressed.
>> The problem is that over time companies are consolidating into a few monopolies which are entirely out of public control,(...)
The problem is Far bigger than that, and the implications are indeed frightening. And Why is that... simply because a societal precedent has been set which could allow the Government to use this as a linchpin to control All speech and by default All Thought. When you control what people can say you also control what they think.
I'm a 60 year old fan of Rap and Hip Hop... is Ebay going to delist Wiz Khalifa songs to name one artist. I won't quote the lyrics here, but his tunes often denigrate the ladies, and refer to them as paid sex workers. Let's talk about that.
