    USMNT 2023

    That lineup is about as good as we can hope for. Don't make me start liking you, Gergg.
  2. I don't think long straight overtakes are that interesting. The final sweeping corner had some good overtakes, turn 14 was probably the best but it felt like most were done on the long straight with ease. And most of the "creative" overtakes were because someone was on tires in a bad spot. Put Austin earlier in the season for a better track - more meaningful time of the season. Weather isn't going to be much different but that's not the point.
  3. Was entertaining for the chaos but like everything in Vegas, it felt manufactured. Cold night, no rubber, long straights great for easy overtakes. I enjoyed the show but it's not the same kind of race as other tracks. Austin takes Miami's spot, Vegas takes Austin's, and Miami takes Vegas's. I know that's logistically impossible but that would put those three races in ideal slots.
  4. Win two more games. That's it. We're in the best position we've been in since playoffs started. If that's not enough, tip your cap to the other teams. They earned it. And we've still had a fucking great year.

    9-1

    10-1. 10 win Steve. Playoff contender. Big 12 title favorite. This feels fucking awesome.
  6. Ya I'm not convinced either. There's no fucking way.
  7. At least COTA isn't trying to fling projectiles through the floor. When I said shit would hit the fan as soon as the cars start, I had no idea it would be this epic. They made it 4 laps before things went sideways!
  8. The blood on the floor in Uvalde really got me... Belongs in a warzone or 3rd world country. But nope, right in the middle of one of the wealthiest states in the wealthiest country in the world.
  9. I fell asleep a minute into it.
  10. I forget who said it but paraphrasing - the gun debate died at Sandy Hook. When we deemed as a country that dead children in their elementary school wasn't enough to force change, the argument was over. At the time, I refused to believe it - it was too cynical even for the likes of me. But they were 100% spot on. Last month, I was fortunate enough to attend a talk by Jacinda Ardern - PM of NZ when they had the mass shootings at mosques in Christchurch. Again, paraphrasing - "we disagreed on a lot of things, but we banned AR style weapons with a near unanimous vote in short order." It was so just matter of fact the way she put it - like, "no shit, we banned ARs and everyone was on board because it's the logical thing to do." Refreshing to hear but infuriating at the same time.
  11. 90% of the country the race is hosted in isn't up that late. The only races I don't watch live are Melbourne, Suzuka, and.... Vegas.
  12. I think the build up will be epic and the drivers will rave about the atmosphere until they get in the car on Friday night. Then the proverbial shit will hit the fan. Kinda like most of my Vegas trips.
  13. Given how well RB and Merc take care of their tires, that to me reads they may struggle here getting tires up to temp. Other teams that chew tires up like Ferrari and McLaren may look great here. I'm sure RB have plenty of room to make changes to address this but one can hope.
  14. But did you stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night?
  15. Or every episode of Boston Legal.
  16. Been buying from these guys since they started sponsoring Surly like 6 (?) months ago. My go to are the nerdz gummies (12mg D9 THC) and I cut them in half. That gives me a very solid high for a few hours. A whole gummy and I've left the planet so I generally avoid that trip. They also sell locally in Austin if you don't want to wait for shipping but you can't use the discount code. Far West Liquor stocks them, for example.
  17. This is how RB doesn't win. You put Stroll P3 and they all crash out at T1. I get it now!
  18. The recapture program is the most hypocritical thing I think the R party does. What is the worst thing (to an R) that you can call an R? A socialist. What is the recapture program if not socialism? They bitch about socialism when it's dollars flowing out of their pockets but when it's dollars flowing in, it's a bedrock of their platform.
  19. You just declare bankruptcy and voila! I mean, if anyone knows how to file for bankruptcy.....
  20. What primary challenges? Does he really think an anti-military platform is going to unseat an incumbent in a Republican primary? Or is he of the mindset that changing a process that took 10m to one that takes 1 week+ is somehow "small government"?
  21. He's doing it to hold Schumer and the Ds hostage. If Schumer gave in, he'd only reinforce the behavior. Also, Tubs is coming across as a complete idiot now so why get in his way?
