  1. I unfortunately was not able to make it to see Big Boy again, but it was a decent weekend for birds.
  2. That was certainly a bunch of cars going around a track, I guess. Crashville.

    What’s the seller rating? Was there a description of it in the listing? That doesn’t answer all questions, but I typically don’t even buy from sellers that won’t take time to write even a short description of the record in the listing, unless they have an extremely stellar rating. Looks like I have made 78 orders from Discogs. Only really had issues with a handful. Returned maybe 2 or 3 for being the wrong record (not matching the listing), and had a few that were overgraded, but I have come out ahead on others too, so it evens out mostly.
  4. Tarptents are great, but the Gossamer tents are supposed to also be great. So are their packs. ULA packs are a little heavier but are supposed to be crazy comfortable. There’s lots of boutique companies now and they’re probably all mostly good. Gossamer Gear is an Austin-based company though as well, which is cool.
  5. FTR he does think it is long COVID. He was late to the post race PC due to fatigue and dizziness.
  6. Well, most of the time! This incident in 2008 was pretty BS IMO, but yeah it was quite a long time ago. It was determined that he did not give it up “enough”, even though Kimi later crashed out. This incident actually kind of set the rule going forward, which I believe now says that you cannot try to reovertake until the next corner or straight or something.
  7. All those guys named King are pretty cool.
  8. He didn’t have enough left for a full 1L sample for post race scrutineering, but they are saying maybe the lift pump was broken so they’re going to have to dissemble some stuff to get that fuel out. They say the fuel is there they just have to access it differently. [emoji2369]
  9. He didn’t run out, he just stopped down there cause he forgot to drive into the pit lane.
  10. Yep, he’s so good at defending. He pushes it right to the limit, just like Lewis does.
  11. Mother of god. So, do y’all still think you shouldn’t be able to repair under red flag conditions?
  12. I mean, Bottas and Ocon were right there. Gaps were similar throughout.
  13. Hell to the no, that was horrible.
  14. So, Red Bull’s appeal/right to review or whatever it’s called was dismissed today. But in the last paragraph of the ruling, the stewards state this: Mercedes also tweeted this: So it sounds to me like Red Bull essentially defamed Hamilton in their official appeal letter and accused him of doing it on purpose. They also literally rented out Silverstone for a day and used Alex Albon in an older car trying to prove that the corner wasn’t “makeable”. Man, no wonder Daniel left. What a looney bin that place is.
  15. Mentioned already, but These count too I guess:
  16. Man, this sucks ass. RIP, Dusty.
  17. I can get behind this, but WRT to club racing, I will say that it is such a hugely different ballgame that I would expect them to treat incidents almost completely different from F1.
  18. I’m not trying to turn this into another pissing match, because the race happened over a week ago and we had this discussion then, so I’ll say a few words and then I’m on to Hungary. 1) Firstly, there is no actual obligation to make the apex. It is not a rule. James Allison pointed this out himself in the Mercedes debrief video. When two cars battle, they will both deviate from the ideal line anyway to make room for each other (see Luffield, literally two corners before, where none of them made the apex). The trajectory that both cars were taking meant that they were likely always going to crash unless one of them backed out. They didn’t. Max even opened his steering up mid corner as if he saw Lewis, but then turned right back in as if he had expected him to back out of it (which he has in every other assertive instance with Max this year to avoid a collision, such as Imola and Spain). 2) The opinion that it is a racing incident doesn’t mean we think that it was “Max’s fault”. It means that we think they are both to blame equally, even though “responsible” is probably a better word, since it wasn’t intentional from either side. Even the stewards ruling doesn’t say that Hamilton was deemed fully at fault, only predominantly, leaving Max a bit culpable as-is. 2) Alonso, Leclerc, Rosberg, Peter Windsor, Tom Kristensen, Mika Hakkinen, Damon Hill, JPM, Jolyon Palmer, Chandhok, Mika Salo (who gave Lewis the goofy penalties for the practice start incidents in Sochi last year), Honda F1 managing director Mashashi Yamamoto, and various others believe it to be a racing incident, so to say that the people who take that stance are wrong or are showing a lack of knowledge is somewhat comical. There are obviously some drivers/pundits that felt otherwise, but it is clearly split. 4) This is the most polarizing F1 incident in quite a while, and not many people are going to easily change their mind on it, in either direction.
