  1. Funny, I like Sainz and when you said he was second best my initial reaction was "Pffft. No way..." 
    Then I started trying to think of who is better other than Max...
    - I started to watch when Hamilton was dominant and he went so long without making any mistakes. Not sure if he has faded or if his car just isn't there.
    - Leclerc actually scores more points/poles, but I can't shake the feeling that Sainz is just a better race day driver for some reason. I'm always on edge for Leclerc to have a mistake
    - Alonso?
    - Norris?

    None of them I can say they are better than Sainz, but I feel like he has a lot of equals. Then Max is just on another level. It would be amazing if Australia shows that Ferrari took a step to catch up with Red Bull and we get more battles at the front.

    Hamilton’s car hasn’t been there since the new regs. This weekend, the engine just quit.
  2. He had to come up with some kind of excuse.  I'm sure his story will evolve.  Brundle nailed it when he said that he brake checked Russell. 

    He was saying it on the radio before the crash ever happened. Also, there is video out of his car misfiring on the last lap. That said, he should have moved off the racing line if he was having car issues.
  3. Now that my gmc is almost paid off, of course I’m eyeballing the new tundras.

    I’m going to trade my 2017 TRD Pro for a Tundra Platinum Monday or Tuesday after spring break.

  4. I like the RB internet rumor that Max and Jos are pissed at LH’s new contract (Max is locked into his) and this is a way to break or negotiate a new deal. 

    The other rumor is that the sectary Horner harassed maintains a relationship with Jos. Jos is also apparently banned from the RB garage for the next GP and maybe more

  5. Seven-year-old daughter: Do you know what my second greatest fear is?
    Me: ?
    Her: Clowns.
    Me: What is your greatest fear?
    Her: Taxidermy and zombies.
    Me: …
     

    That’s awesome and damn - she’s already 7??
  6. So whatever happened to that backlog of cargo ships that Republicans were whining about years ago? There was a lot of complaining about lack of truck drivers to move cargo, moving ships to other ports, etc. Did it all get cleared up and fixed? 

    Yes. Also, the shortages on shipping containers has gone away as well.
  7. Apparently Clark County (Las Vegas) doesn’t have a contract with F1. A commissioner out there is asking questions and is not happy with the race.

    “It turns out that we never signed a contract — that was all with the LVCVA,” Segerblom said Tuesday in a phone conversation with the Las Vegas Review-Journal. “So everybody keeps saying that we’ve got three years. We never committed to three years, to my knowledge.”

    What size is the watch?
  9. Based on scenario 1 - poor directions were given. Clean this up vs clean this up in 4 minutes and the timer starts now.

    Scenario 2 - what action was not being done? He said they were doing the task - just really slow.

    I’m going off what was originally posted - asked 8 year olds to clean up. They were cleaning up but taking forever.

  10. At that age it shouldn’t be a “tell them 5 times before they get it done” type of situation imo. And I think the biggest issue here is if wifey had engaged in the scenario, the two parental voices would have helped resolve/encourage a better resolution. 
     
    I get the frustration.

    It doesn’t say he told them 5 times. It says they were taking forever - which I read as the task is being completed. Also - directions were given, task was being done - why does wife need to be involved at all?
  11. Last night before bed my 8 year old twins had a fucking mess in the living room.  Told them to clean it up before we watch some TV.  
    They dragged ass and it took forever.  Their eyes don't seem to want to work when it's time to clean up.  This took 10 mins when it should've taken 2.  All the while my wife is sitting on the couch next to me and playing around on her phone.  
    Finally I have enough and say fuck it I'll do it myself and anything I find that's still out is going in the trash can.  They speed up.  Wife is still oblivious.  
    When it's finally done, my daughter asks me for a snack and I say no. It took them too long to clean up l.  She gets mad.
    My wife asks if I'm mad at her and I told her that I was glad to see that she could focus on something else besides her phone.  I told her that I could've used some help and she was nowhere to be found.  
    She gets mad and walks off.  Daughters mad, wifes mad, the boy is sound asleep and I went for a walk at 830 last night.
    No apologies this AM.
    Fuckers. 

    You got mad that your 8 year olds were doing what you asked them to do, but not at the rate you wanted it done? Did you tell them you wanted it done in 2 minutes? This one might be on you.
