In April of 1922, two-year-old Pauline Picard disappeared without a trace from her family ranch in Brittany, France. A few days later, a little girl matching Pauline’s description was discovered in Cherbourg, a town approximately 320km from the ranch. 
The Picard family confirmed that the little girl was Pauline. However, a couple of obscurities seemed to emerge from this seemingly blissful reunion. First of all, the little girl didn’t seem to remember her parents. Secondly, she didn’t react to her parents when they came to identify her. Regardless of these odd occurrences, her parents took her back to the ranch and life carried on as usual.
The following month, a neighbor discovered the decomposed body of a little girl; she had been partially buried near the family ranch. The police arrived at the grim scene, accompanied by the Picard family and a number of other curious residents. The face of the little anonymous girl was so decomposed that she couldn’t be identified but the Picard family recognized the clothing as the clothing Pauline was wearing on the day she disappeared. 
Police revealed that they had already specifically searched the location where the body was discovered, indicating that somebody had recently disposed of the body there. Even more alarming, the skull of a middle-aged man was discovered near the body of the little girl.
Reports of the investigation revealed that there was one potential suspect - a middle-aged farmer had visited the Picard family and asked them if they were 100% sure that the little girl living in their house was Pauline before blurting out “God forgive me, I am guilty,” and bursting into hysterical laughter. It was reported that this man was then sent to a psychiatric facility.
Despite the suspicions, the man was never charged and the case remains unsolved to this day.

Bentley Mulliner Bacalar (1 of 12). 
Bentley’s Mulliner division is bringing something very close to traditional coachbuilding back. The 2021 Bentley Mulliner Bacalar is a stunning roofless barchetta based on the Continental GT Convertible, but with completely different bodywork. Mulliner maked 12 of the Bacalar, all of which have already been sold to the sort of ultra-rich buyers who flock to such ultra-limited editions. However, the company says this is just a toe in the water for what is set to become a growing part of its business. Bacalar shares all of its substructure and mechanical package with the Continental GT Convertible, but the aluminium and carbon-fibre bodywork is all new.
But the concept sits on the same GTC underpinnings, meaning a 484kW version of Bentley’s 6.0-litre W12 engine with drive dispatched to all four corners through a twin-clutch gearbox.
Bentley reckons the Bacalar is fastest-ever open-topped road car, estimating a 0–100km/h time of 3.5 seconds and a top speed of over 320km/h.
Bentley’s twin-clutch transmission can deliver lightning fast changes, but it is also adept at replicating torque converter smoothness at lower speeds. It  be possible to travel very quickly in the Bacalar, but gentle is going to suit it better.

brake failure at 320km/h is insane and could've easily ended up badly. merc has had this problem all year and mostly only on george's car. they gotta get their shit together cause this actually endangers the safety of their driver
Tumblr media
Posting these together since argument is similar.
Mercedes has had so many reliability issues this year, particularly on George’s side, but brakes had been a sore point for them since at least last season.
No idea why, reliability has always been one of Mercedes’ strenghts, along with tyre deg/management, my only guess is that having a budget cap has had a impact, and this is where it has particularly shown, recently.
Edit @second anon: you sure about that brake issue? I still need to watch the debrief but someone else who did didn’t catch that part

Tag 24. 27.07.2023
Fuji-Vorbereitung. Heute standen wir früh auf, um den 07:57 Uhr Zug von Tokyo nach Mishima zu schaffen. Wir fuhren mit dem sogenannten Shinkansen Zug, der 320km/h schnell fährt und weltweit als “Bullet Train” bekannt ist. In Mishima stiegen wir in einen Regionalzug um und erreichten gegen 10:00 Uhr Gotemba, eine niedliche Stadt im Vorland des Fuji Berges (3.776M hoch, Japans höchster Gipfel). Im Hotel angekommen stellten wir unser Gepäck ab, packten für einen Tagesausflug an eines der fünf Seen rund um Fuji und liefen zur Bäckerei.
Die Bäckerei war gigantisch, wir aßen zum ersten Mal in Asien richtige Croissants, Baguettes und Brot. Im Anschluss ging’s zur Touristeninfo, wo wir einige Fragen i.B.a. den Fuji-Riesen hatten. Ganz zufällig fragte Wilson, ob eines der Hütten noch zwei Plätze für den 28.07 auf den 29.07 frei hätte, denn eine Eintageswanderung von unten nach oben, v.a. mit möglichem Aufkommen von Höhenkrankheit, wäre grenzwertig gefährlich. Der Mann an der Info rief netterweise in verschiedenen Hütten an. Die (meisten) Hütten nehmen nämlich nur per Telefon und auf japanisch Reservierungen an, zudem kommt der von der Pandemie verursachte Rückstand japanischer Touristen, die den Riesen besteigen wollen. Zu unserer Überraschung waren 2 Betten auf der 5. Hütte frei, es änderten sich also unsere Pläne - keine Seentour.
Wir fuhren direkt zur Outlet-Mall, wo wir zwei paar Wanderschuhe kauften (Turnschuhe sind natürlich ungeeignet, zudem brauchte Webster neue Wanderschuhe und Wilsons Schuhe hat derzeit Wenzel) und einen neuen Wanderrucksack (Webster braucht auch einen neuen, seiner hat schon etliches durch und wird bald in Rente gehen). Wir kauften auch zwei billige Kopflampen, am 29.07 stehen wir nämlich um 01:30 Uhr auf, um den Sonnenaufgang ganz oben mitzuerleben. Wir fuhren dann gegen 16:30 Uhr wieder mit dem kostenlosen Shuttle-Bus in die Innenstadt Gotembas zurück, schauten im Supermarkt vorbei und besuchten erneut die Bäckerei, wo wir zwei Baguettes für den Bergsteig kauften und eine kleine Tüte Nussbrot geschenkt bekamen - sehr nett.
Im Hotel ruhten wir uns aus, schauten Ricky Gervais auf YouTube, lasen die Nachrichten und lagen 20 Minuten im Halbschlaf. Daraufhin gabs im Hotel Abendessen, Reis mit Rindfleischsoße - eine kostenlose Mahlzeit, die gut schmeckte und satt machte. Schließlich packten wir, schmierten unsere Brote und gingen in die Hotelsauna (Japanese Bath - könnt ihr gerne recherchieren). Morgen gehts wieder früh los, um 07:35 Uhr fährt der Bus von Gotemba Richtung Fuji Talstation. Aufregend!
Day 24. July 27, 2023
Fuji Preparation. Today, we got up early to catch the 07:57 am train from Tokyo to Mishima. We traveled on the so-called Shinkansen train, which runs at a speed of 320 km/h and is globally known as the "Bullet Train." In Mishima, we changed to a regional train and reached Gotemba around 10:00 am, a charming town in the foothills of Mount Fuji (3,776 meters high, Japan's highest peak). Upon arriving at the hotel, we dropped off our luggage, prepared for a day trip to one of the five lakes around Fuji, and walked to the bakery.
The bakery was brilliant, and we had proper croissants, baguettes, and bread for the first time in Asia. After that, we went to the tourist information center, where we had some questions about Mount Fuji. By chance, Wilson asked if any of the mountain huts had two available spots for the night of July 28th to 29th because attempting a one-day hike from the bottom to the top, especially with the risk of altitude sickness, would be dangerously challenging. The man at the info center kindly made calls to different huts. Most of them only accept reservations over the phone and in Japanese, plus there's a backlog of Japanese tourists wanting to climb the mountain due to the pandemic. To our surprise, there were two available beds at the 5th hut, so our plans changed - no lake tour.
We went straight to the outlet mall, where we bought two pairs of hiking boots (sneakers are, of course, unsuitable, and Webster needed new hiking boots while Wilson's shoes are currently worn out). We also purchased a new hiking backpack (Webster needs one too, as his has been through a lot and will soon retire). Additionally, we bought two cheap headlamps since on the 29th of July, we'll be getting up at 01:30 am to witness the sunrise from the top. Around 4:30 pm, we took the complimentary shuttle bus back to downtown Gotemba, stopped by the supermarket, and revisited the bakery, where we purchased two baguettes for the ascent and received a small bag of walnut bread as a gift - very kind.
We rested in the hotel, watched Ricky Gervais on YouTube, read the news, and dozed off for about 20 minutes. Afterward, we had dinner at the hotel, rice with beef sauce - a complimentary meal that tasted good and filled us up. Finally, we packed up, prepared our lunchboxes and went to the hotel sauna (Japanese Bath - you can research more about it if you like). Tomorrow, we'll be starting early again; the bus from Gotemba to the Fuji Talstation departs at 07:35 am. Exciting!

Ok but this is very true I think I needed reminding of it myself https://vm.tiktok.com/ZGJursqWJ/
here's what the link brought me to. i have a think piece below, sorry about that lol.
seb is correct. i'm sure most would agree with him. i think asking a driver why they said such and such during a 2 hour race in a 50°C cockpit going between 100–320km/h is a bit redundant and it's not like said driver is thinking about what they said afterwards. there is so much concentration required that you have to stop blinking at times. you are at your most aggressive.
of course, saying slurs or abusive language in general should result in an apology between drivers and a promise to ensure the erasure of such rhetoric from their vocabulary.
all that being said, i've been thinking about driver radios and really just the whole manufacturing of entertainment that usually comes naturally with drivers pumped with adrenaline and, well, decent regulations that allow close racing. they can be funny at times but when does it become exploitative? like when charles crashed in france 2022 and unfortunately left his driver radio on allowing it to be broadcasted for millions to hear. i don't really need to know every drivers' reaction to clipping the wall or when two drivers touch wheels with no damage resulting from it. i feel like team radio should only be released when a strategy is mentioned, something is significantly wrong with the car, a driver is responding to a crash, or to pit.
it's not like this is a new thing. there's compilations of the 'best driver radios' on the f1 channel itself. but there are moments, i feel, that they get misappropriated and of course with the growing number of reactionary (admittedly, i contribute to it also) fans, it leads to media riot. a recent example is the incident between george and max yesterday. did we really need to hear max demand that gp 'fucking report it'? i don't think so. it led to my dad complaining about him whinging all the time and i'm sure plenty thought the same. i won't talk about either interviews post-race, those were a whole other mess, but the point i am trying to make is such 'entertaining' radios just further enforces the reputation that media places on drivers. you can argue that they inflict it on themselves, sure, but it doesn't excuse the amount of hate spewed on social media after, towards any driver mind you.
so, when can we put a cap on it? and how? i think this is a conversation that we need, as a part of the wider debacle that fom/liberty media have contributed to formula 1, in my opinion.

according to motorsport italy george's crash in testing yesterday was due to brake failure at ~320km/h. he slowed down the car as much as he could and hit the barriers from the side instead of head on

Holy crap they just dumped a lot of robots. And other things.
This Shinkalion Change the World update is from Takara Tomy and the official website. It confirms all my past posts thus far, plus provides more info. I'll start with the giant robots in part 1 (had to split this due to image limits). Part 2 is here. Source website is here if you want to explore on your own.
Tumblr media
The Shinkalions
Tumblr media Tumblr media
First up, it's the E5, which really doesn't look impressive without the attachments but I guess that's the point. There is art of the attachments and Shinkasens, but I can't add those due to image limits. If you want me to grab them, let me know.
"Shinkalion E5 Hayabusa Trailer Form
A vehicle combination of "Shinkalion E5 Hayabusa" and "Elda Trailer".
The ``Trailer Wing'' attached to its shoulders has the function of improving its mobility, and it is good at close combat by making full use of ``Rixou Saber'' and ``Rear Car Shield.''
The "Grand Cross" equipped on the chest unit releases a powerful blow.
Total length / 11m Weight / 65t
Shinkalion E5 Hayabusa
Shinkalion is the transformed lead car of the E5 Shinkansen Hayabusa.
The chest unit is equipped with a Grand Cross.
It is good at high-speed battles that take advantage of the speed of the E5 Shinkansen, and is compatible with the Elda Trailer, which enhances its mobility.
Total length / 11m Weight / 50t
Shinkansen E5 series Hayabusa
A high-performance vehicle that achieves high speed, speed, and environmental friendliness.
Its running speed is 320km/h, the fastest in Japan.
Elda Trailer
The Elda vehicle was developed with the motif of a large trailer used to transport the Shinkansen overland.
Unlike a normal trailer, the body has a special shape, so Shinkalion can be transported overland in an emergency."
Next, the E6. GOOD GRIEF HE'S NAKED- until the attachments go on. All the Shinkalions are like this btw.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
"Shinkalion E6 Komachi Top Lifter Form
A vehicle combination of "Shinkalion E6 Komachi" and "Elda Top Lifter".
It doesn't give the opponent a chance to get close to it with its shooting attacks using the "Kintei Gun" and agile movements using the "high mobility rollers" on its legs.
The large cannon "Twist Rock Buster" attached to its back boasts overwhelming firepower and won't miss even distant enemies.
Total length / 18.5m Weight / 59t
Shinkalion E6 Komachi
Shinkalion is the transformed lead car of the E6 Shinkansen Komachi.
The forehead is decorated with red waves and silver, reminiscent of the symbol mark of the E6 Shinkansen Komachi.
Due to the high running stability of the E6 Shinkansen, it is compatible with the Elda Top Lifter, which requires precise sniping performance.
Total length / 11.5m Weight / 47.5t
Shinkansen E6 series Komachi
A Shinkansen that boasts a speed of 320 km/h, comparable to the Shinkansen E5 series Hayabusa.
It can also travel through narrow tunnels and curves where regular Shinkansen trains cannot travel.
Elda Top Lifter
The Elda vehicle was developed with the motif of a top lifter working to move large containers at a freight station.
The short body of the vehicle allows it to move around in tight corners, allowing it to run quickly while avoiding obstacles."
Last we have the E7. Still called the Kagayaki despite Google Translate's fooling around.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
"Shinkalion E7 Shiny Drill Form
A vehicle combination of "Shinkalion E7 Kagayaki" and "Eldadrill".
The thick armor worn all over the body, such as the ``Kusaku Bumper'' on the chest and the ``Drill Leg Armor'' on the legs, can fend off enemies that approach.
The heavy blows from the "Twin Kussaku Drills" attached to both arms are the key to breaking through the front lines.
Total length / 11.5m Weight / 100t
Shinkalion E7 Kagayaki
Shinkalion is the transformed lead car of the Shinkansen E7 Shinkansen.
The forehead has an arrow-like design reminiscent of the shiny symbol mark of the E7 Shinkansen.
Due to the characteristics of the E7 series, which runs on difficult railway sections such as gradients, it is compatible with the Elda Drill.
Total length / 10.5m Weight / 55t
Shinkansen E7 series Shinkansen
The equipment is compatible so that it can run across regions with different power supply frequencies.
The maximum speed is 260km/h.
Elda Drill
The Elda vehicle was developed with a focus on the strength of large heavy machinery for tunnel construction and mining work.
No matter how hard the rock is, it can drill holes with great effort using a large drill in the front and small drills on the left and right."
My Rambling
So one thing I consistently noticed here is that the attachments are called "Elda". This could be Google Translate messing with the word "elder", but I'm not certain.
Not much to say that isn't obvious. These are standard for their type and don't bring any surprises to the table (no heavyset E6 or sniper E7, for example). And Gran Cross will also naturally return.
But Wait- There's More!
Something I noticed on Takara Tomy's Twitter is...
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
They combine! Not only that, but there's three possible combinations that feature the body and weapons of each Shinkalion. I would have killed for something like this in Z (Hanabi and Taiju deserve better.)
You may notice I posted toy ads. There's no clean anime art right now. I don't know how soon these will drop in the anime. But I don't expect the wait to be very long.

The case of 2-year-old Pauline Picard from Brittany, France, is quite possibly one of the most bizarre unsolved cases to date. In April of 1922, Pauline disappeared without a trace from her family ranch. A few days later, a little girl matching Pauline’s description was discovered in Cherbourg, a town approximately 320km from the ranch. 
The Picard family confirmed that the little girl was Pauline. However, a couple of obscurities seemed to emerge from this seemingly blissful reunion. First of all, the little girl didn’t seem to remember her parents. Secondly, she didn’t react to her parents when they came to identify her. Regardless of these odd occurrences, her parents took her back to the ranch and life carried on as usual.

The police arrived at the grim scene, accompanied by the Picard family and a number of other curious residents. The face of the little anonymous girl was so decomposed that she couldn’t be identified but the Picard family disturbingly discovered that they recognized the clothing as the clothing Pauline was wearing on the day she disappeared. Police revealed that they had already specifically searched the location where the body was discovered, indicating that somebody had recently disposed of the body there. Even more alarming, the skull of a middle-aged man was discovered near the body of the little girl.
Reports of the investigation reveal that there was one potential suspect - a middle-aged farmer had visited the Picard family and asked them if they were 100% sure that the little girl living in their house was Pauline before blurting out “God forgive me, I am guilty,” and bursting into hysterical laughter. It was reported that this man was then sent to an insane asylum yet the case remained open leaving a number of questions unanswered:
What happened to Pauline? Who was the little girl found in Cherbourg if not Pauline? Whose skull was discovered with the little girl? Was the laughing man the killer? These questions remain a very baffling mystery.

車両アドオンにはgearの値を設定できるのですが、電車の場合は定格出力がアテになりません。そこで簡易的に起動加速度と重量から計算していて、起動加速度が同じなら大体同じ加速を出来る様にしています。これはどうも128jpの影響で始めた事で、2017年に入ってから227系を基準にしています。それ以前の作品で適用漏れとか、あるかも知れません。
ただシムトラのgearは歯車比ではなく出力係数であるため、新幹線など起動加速度を基準にすると最高速度に到達できません。E5系や681系とか、320km/hや160km/h出せる値を設定しています。他には何かと言うと機関車です。
Tumblr media
機関車のgearで基準にしたのはEF210です。1200tなら110km/h、1300tなら100km/h出る値です。あとは定格引張力*定格速度を比較すれば良いやぐらいで設定しています。当たり前ですが、大体同じようなgearになります。
さて今回の更新ではEF200を追加しています。定格出力6000kw、Power is EVERYTHING. More is better.な電気機関車として有名です。ウィキペを見てみると定格速度81.2km/h、定格引張力26,600kgfと書かれており、59.5km/h、20,300kgfのEF210とは別物です。ただ先述の計算だとgearはほぼ同じで、要するに定格出力に比例した性能です。アドオン的には過剰性能に思えますが、調整すると今度は重連の機関車が有利となります。ピサの斜塔から何か落としてそうですね。
Tumblr media
EF200はノッチ15でEF66と同等の運用をしていたとウィキペにも書いてあるので、英語版を参考に2007年からEF66相当のアドオンを登場させています。EF200とEF66の比較[1][2]を行うと、最大性能は当然EF200が圧倒的です。まあEH800は最大引張力410kN[3]だったり、勾配抵抗の引き算ではH級が当然凌駕するのですが。
図中のEF200定格引張力は261kNからノッチ15に繋げています。これが実運用だったんでしょうか、電流と引張力の関係を見ると主電動機電流600A?(分からない)。点線の6000kWと3900kWは速度と牽引力の関係から計算していて、両形式とも定格出力がほぼ最大出力です。EF210は30分だけ頑張ってEF200のノッチ15を発揮するのかなぁ。
Tumblr media
実際の機関車は上記の様な性能が発揮できず早々に引退してしまいましたが、シムトラでは関係ありません。130km/h対応のM250系が最高速度で勝てるくらいで、電車による機敏な旅客輸送との時刻的住み分けが難しい性質に適していると思います。

Citroen e-C3 electric review | 320kms AND only €23,000?!!
The new Citroen ë-C3 has been unveiled here in Ireland today - check out what a new sub €25,000 electric car looks like!
P.S. The author of the video mentioned LFP batteries in the car review...! In this case, the Citroen e-C3 will be an extremely important car in the European car market. It may turn out to be the first affordable electric car designed by Europeans with an almost sufficient range (if it could actually travel - 350 km, it would be much more attractive) and a cobalt-free battery...
