  1. i mean, are we going to sit here and say he would have won yesterday if Max's car didn't die under him? because that's quite a leap. Wins matter, sure, but so does overall performance. Last year LEC had 2x as many podiums (6) as Sainz did (3) - in 2022 LEC had 11 podiums and 3 wins, SAI had 9 podiums and 1 win. LEC beat him by 62 points in the same car. even with the win last year for SAI, LEC still had a better avg finish and out qualified him 14-8 and had 5 pole positions vs SAI's 2. in 2022 he out quali'd him 16-6. in 2021 LEC out quali'd him 14-8. Leclerc has been the better driver in the car during their time as teammates, even with his brain farts and Sainz having 2 wins - based on points at least. re: 2023 Singapore Singapore last year was easily the worst race for RBR since the the 2022 Bahrain double DNF. only time last year Max didn't finish on the podium and both Red Bulls were knocked out in Q2, article said this was the first time since 2018 that neither Red Bull made it to Q3. RBR came in with subpar to bad setup, couldn't get it fixed (article said they brought a new floor and then they reverted back to the old floor for FP3, quali and the race? brough new wing changes too), made bad strategy calls during the race and got unlucky (strategy was to hope for a safety car for a cheap pit stops + tire strategy), and then paid for it by finishing 5th and 8th. per Horner: lap time comparison: race chart: https://www.racefans.net/2023/09/17/analysis-why-red-bull-believe-verstappen-could-have-been-right-in-the-game/ until the last stint (Max on new Mediums, Carlos on 20 lap old Hards) Max basically never was running a faster lap time than Carlos - even then Carlos was holding the field up as part of the strategy. once again, subpar setup considering how dominate they were the rest of the season. Sainz led every lap of the 23 Singapore GP, Max had 6 laps total in the top 5. Checo had 3. RBR had no laps in the top five after lap 27 of a 62 lap race. Sainz did everything he could with the car and deserved the 23 Singapore GP win and yesterday's win for sure. but acting like he outdueled Max to win either race is incorrect.
  2. they are expecting ~150k visitors in Gillespie County Kerrville specifically is expecting +100k people (up to +150k) i've heard expectation of ~+20 to +30k in Mason (total county population <5000) Kendall County is expecting +50k visitors San Antonio is expecting double the occupancy vs the same weekend last year. AUS is telling people to get to the airport 2.5 hours early for domestic flights. lots of backroads, sure, but an incredible # of people driving in because of how close Austin and San Antonio (and even places like Houston) are to the totality. that's without adding in things like Waze which will route folks on those backroads due to how busy the main roads are.
  3. yeah, give it time for full green up and then cut it high (1/3rd rule)
  4. oh man, i have a very hard time saying that about someone who has never finished better than 5th in the constructors championship, and only beaten the brakes off his teammate once since he left Toro Rosso (he smoked the hell out of Kvyat in 2017 54-5) was smoking 19 year old rookie Lando last year, LEC had 2x as many podiums and outscored him despite SAI winning a race. the year before that LEC beat him by 62 points. the year before that he beat LEC by 5.5 points and LEC had a DNS from pole at Monaco and another retirement while SAI finished every race. SAI is good, clearly, but at non backmarker teams he has very rarely been noticeably better than his teammate. he's consistent and that has a ton of value but at this point i think basically all of the top teams would take LEC over SAI. last year Leclerc, Alonso, Norris scored scored higher in WCC than Sainz. Hamilton beat Sainz by 34 points in a much worse car in 22 Russell and Leclerc beat Sainz (LEC by 62 points) Sainz is a very good race day driver and will do well the rest of his career. but if i am starting a team i am happy to take the higher upside of someone like LEC or RUS (british version of LEC honestly) or even ALO over Sainz. i think h2h Sainz gets more out of the Red Bull than Perez. i think he's easily a top ~5 driver with Max, Leclerc, etc. but 2nd? not in my eyes. much closer to 5th than 2nd.
  5. Somehow, there is a way to make losing thag many users thay fast look even worse...
  6. NBC: https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/tech-news/fewer-people-using-elon-musks-x-struggles-keep-users-rcna144115 And More funny stuff This is the business case study that's going to be laughed at until the end of time. Threads getting downloaded 16x for every one from X Elon:
  7. Yeah, if you think this is unique to just f1 and not huge companied across the world...not sure what to tell you.
  8. The singular reason he is in f1 is his nationality and the funding he brings to the table.
  9. Interesting concept
  10. My understanding is that his drug use specifically is an open secret and has been for a while in that group.
  11. @GreenspointTexas made it to Sunbird 😂
  12. genuinely it makes a huge difference mowing 2x a week
  13. glad someone else knows. literally the only 2 things on the menu worth ordering these days (and has been that way for years)
  14. Are you a boy or a gentleman?
  15. man you are wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy overrating Kingston and his impact to the case. notice how much impact he had in the actual trial? i know this is the case with lawyers in general but Bruenig is very good in his lane and offers less than nothing outside of it both are also tremendous assholes - which is fine
  16. to be fair it looks like he has Hudson Card-sized hands. has to make his life pretty difficult at center
  17. yessir not my photos:
  18. top of my head, then did a little poking around - and some of these are cheating lol basically going w/ anything that isn'tthe trinity so that takes out some of the more interesting sausages out there. Leroy and Lewis: beef cheek, whole hog Snows: pork steak Reese Bros: carnitas torta + poblano mac (special shoutout to the queso fundito sausage) Hutchins: Texas Twinkie Burnt Bean: yes Eaker BBQ: gochujang pork ribs + any of the korean sides. different glazed pork belly burnt ends Helberg: smoked, then fried chicken (sunday only?) Valentinas: Real Deal Holyfield - honestly any of the breakfast tacos Sunbird: the different glazed pork belly burnt ends CM Smokehouse: Crunchwrap Mum Foods: pastrami Opies: pork chop other ones i haven't had but probably belong on a list like this @Patricio Swayze (RIP) and others have recommended a number of things from Brisket and Rice. heard very very good things about the lamb chops at Barbs. know a guy who loves the fried chicken from slow bone, and loved it from Pecan Lodge. Tejas Chocolate's carrot souffle belongs on here somewhere. KG BBQ's brisket bowl? any place that has good sausage, i'm assuming they would do an off menu mel man - chopped brisket + chopped sausage
  19. one guy looked significantly worse than the other in the interview - hint: it wasn't this guy
  20. the guy averaging 14.9 PPG, 2.3 RPG, 1.4 APG and shooting <50%? the guy who has scored >30 points twice this season (31 and 30) - one of which required OT and going 5/8 on 3's and 8-8 at the line and the other which required him to go 5-8 from 3 and the other which required his single best shooting FG% of the season? the guy never has had more than 6 rebounds in a game this year and hasn't ever had more than 4 assists in a game. dude averages 1.4 assists per game vs 1.2 turnovers per game. i fully expect him to go for 40 against A&M now lol
  21. people, STOP GOING TO STANLEYS AND NOT ORDERING THE MOTHERCLUCKER. YOU ARE MAKING A MISTAKE AND WILLINGLY NOT ORDERING THE BEST THING ON THE ENTIRE MENU.
