Formula 1 races average about 200kph, with a top speed of 375. These are the best of the best professionally trained drivers in multimillion dollar equipment tailored to them and designed to keep them (and others) safe at those speeds.

300km/h on the highway is essentially suicide by stupidity, not to mention manslaughter for whoever you hit. You are travelling fast enough that you literally don’t have time to react to something several hundred metres in front of you.

150 is really fast, 200 is stupid fast, and 300 is really fucking stupid fast.

Legitimate question… Why?

That’s very clear, thanks.

I’m guessing you’d have to search the database to make the index, right? To search for ‘gazter’ you’d have had to go over the whole dataset and assigned each entry with a starting letter value, and so on?

Largely ignorant, but data-curious person here.

…what?

I’ve got the fourth Sharma, I used points to get a large Austrian man to walk over the left side of my body.

Somewhat related.

I was doing a winter mountaineering course in Scotland (not as epic as it sounds, but damn fun!). We had some pretty gnarly weather, and were practicing navigation in a whiteout. It’s pretty easy to lose your sense of direction, there’s no landmarks, no reference for what is straight ahead. So the lead person was trudging along, looking down at the compass, following a heading, trudging off into the blank whiteness in a straight line. Every now and then, they would start veering off to the left, then go back straight again- just enough to be perceptible to the people at the back of the line, but not to the person in front. We pulled up a couple of times, lead person kept insisting they were following the compass precisely. It kept happening, so we switched people, same compass, no problem.

It was only when we were back at the lodge and the original lead person was saying how much they loved their electric heated gloves that we figured out what the issue was.
