Another famous one… bookstores make a lot of people need to poop. https://www.buzzfeed.com/farrahpenn/urge-to-poop-in-bookstore-mariko-aoki-phenomenon

When you watch the video at the 7:17 timestamp, the front tyres are moving faster than the ground under them. This can easily happen with rear (powered) tyres (i.e., “burning rubber”, “peeling out”, etc.). But how can the front tyres go faster than the ground is making them move?

Yeah, but I’d rather not change it because I am pretty sure there are some devices in the house where I set up static IP addresses. I try not to do that, but over the years, I am pretty sure there are at least a couple. Heh, maybe a good time to seek them out!

Let’s see if I got this… great idea to disable DHCP on the new OPNSense for now. I forgot about that. Just keep the one LAN cable going in, and I will just keep the IP address as it is right now (.79). Not even worry about the WAN port at all. Set up all of the features, including things like reserved IP addresses and whatnot. Then, when I am ready to drop it in, I will turn the old router off, and on the new router set up a static IP on the LAN port (.0.1) and add the WAN port (DHCP). Drop it in place, turn on DHCP and I’ll be good to go.

That’s a great point. I think I am of the mind that it doesn’t need fixing. I also do not like penalties after the race. So just let it be. If once a year a team figures out a way to exploit this, then so be it.

I thought it gave an interesting twist too. I guess I would feel different if I wasn’t a RB fan. Hard to say.

One other possibility comes to mind. What if there are no rule changes, but instead if the stewards think a team might try to take advantage of this, they decide at race time to hold their ruling disclosure until after the race?

It is for a middle school robotics team (FIRST Lego League if you have ever heard of it). No, I don’t have some burning desire to get rid of the merges. I was mostly woried that we were doing something wrong. We definitely do not have any branches. We really just use github to have a safe place to store our code and so that all of the laptops can have all of the code from all of the teammates.

For sure I don’t want to add any complexity. I think that since from their end it looks like it is doing exactly what they think it does (i.e., I upload my code with a push, and I get everyone else’s code with a pull), there’s definitely no need to fix a non-problem.

That was it! Thanks :)
