  1. Jay’s in Abilene is supposed to be solid. Have not been there yet, myself. https://www.texasmonthly.com/bbq/jays-bbq-shack-abilene-revamped/
  2. That was a setup issue, though. They were way too conservative on ride height this time because of what happened at COTA, and they tried to bolt on more rear wing to compensate. The result was that they were super draggy and had horrible balance. Vegas isn’t exactly a track that will favor them since it’s a bunch of rear limited corners and straights, but they should be better than at Brazil (not accounting for super cold temps, at least).
  3. I got de-ported today. Let’s hope that mofo doesn’t ever have to go back in.
  4. I know we just got a new Mini, but I wonder if we will see a new Mini or Studio.
  5. This is top tier Instagram commenting.
  6. The cars have had a plank on the bottom made from Jabroc (a beechwood and resin material) ever since Senna’s accident to prevent them from running too low, which can cause sudden loss of downforce and therefore a crash. This plank is supposed to be a minimum of like 9mm. If it’s less than that, it fails the technical regs. Because of only having one practice session and a bumpy track, it looks like some teams were a little too aggressive with the ride height, and the planks wore too much. Only 4 cars were checked and 2 failed, from different teams, so it’s likely there were several others, but we won’t know. Example of plank:
  7. They probably should, but these are just part of the random post race checks, so [emoji2369] . I’d bet the other cars have already started to be torn down anyway.
  8. Looks like Charles and Lewis will probably be DSQ due to plank wear. They checked 4 cars and those two were out of spec. That’s what a bumpy track and one practice session gets you.
  9. There is also over a billion dollars of revenue sharing that happens at the end of each year.
  10. The budget cap means F1 teams are pretty profitable.
  11. I mean, Andretti will be a backmarker too, so that part won’t change much.
  12. Fun fact; the 300ZX headlights were also used in the facelifted Lamborghini Diablo.
  13. Mostly runs the young driver program, I think.
  14. They are definitely a huge pain to work on engine wise (there’s no room in there, plus the rats nest of 1990s emissions and vacuum lines), but as said above I’d rather find one that doesn’t need bodywork. Pics?!?
  15. Peter is definitely #1. Then Play On is so good.
  16. Yeah, it’s going to be a shitshow.
  17. It’s tedious because you have to build/upgrade ships to unlock skills to use better modules. You can just swap with the cheapest stuff to get it done, but I couldn’t help myself. Still waiting to even get to Class B stuff.
  18. Mine had been fine but yesterday had an instance of draining battery very fast and getting pretty warm. I closed all apps and hard reset and whatever it was stopped. Most people seemed to be having the issue early on, so hopefully this was just a software or app bug. There’s a zillion app updates right now so hopefully it was just an old version not playing nice (a similar thing happened on my 13PM last month, too).
  19. Repulsorlift* [emoji851] I remember reading about that shit In these books in the 90s.

    The new MOFI Sourcepoint 8/10 are reviewing incredibly well but are pricey at $3/4k. KEF R3 or LS50 are cheaper, well-liked, and have a smaller footprint, but you may want a subwoofer with them. Turntable wise I’d just get a Technics SL1200GR (the GR2 was also just announced), or an SL-1500C (wish they came with a better cart though, I’d recommend a Nagaoka MP-150 or above). Amplifier wise I’m not really up to speed on newer stuff, but there’s plenty of integrated amps out there. Maybe a Peachtree or Schiit.
  21. I guess it’s not a MagSafe case. Weird that they would make one that way though. Btw the Andar case is great. Only con is that the action button has a cutout instead of a metal button on the case like the rest.
  22. Goddamn I’m an underachiever. 2 of these people were high school classmates of mine (Glen and Amy).
