  1. Only for the very brave and/or very stupid.
  2. Along the lines of what Troph said above, I'll be 60 this summer and I'm thinking the olds might not have such a rosy future here. Just thinking out loud a little, you can spend 180 days in Mexico just with your passport. I assume that's 180 in a one-year peiod, but I've seen where some people have spent almost their whole 180 days, went somewhere else for a couple of weeks, and then returned to Mexico for another 180 days. I doubt that's something a person could get away with with any regularity ... BUT, you can also spend 180 days in Canada, 90 in Spain, Italy, or Portugal, etc. Short of actually getting citizenship somewhere else, I could see us country-hopping just to stay away from the US as much as possible, at least until we're too old to do that. I'm wondering if a person could accumulate enough days in-country that way in one or more of those countries, to the point that they could satisfy residency status requirements. I'd love citizenship, but simple residency is fine in most countries afaik, esp as long as it keeps me out of living in a potential hellscape that may be what the US is heading to.
  3. Extra jalapenos on my noches, por favor.
  4. necrobump ... Anyone else having trouble with their YYTV tonight? DVR'd shows start, then hang up after a few seconds. Looks like it's the same for live tv too. Restarted router. All good. Other streaming apps working fine. YTTV no workie. ETA: Just checked and now it's all good.
  5. So in. Can't wait.

    F1 - Apple

    Yeah it'll be Top Gun on wheels, with great cinematography, on par with Top Gun, and probably a similarly shitty plot. Like the Top Gun movies, the great cinematography will make it worth suffering through the poor plot imho. I'm still amazed at the fact they actually just named it 'F1' though. BTW, me & my 21 yo were at Daytona when they shot those 24H scenes. Who knows. Maybe we're in the movie.
  7. nsiap ... More great work here from the totally radical, awesome DOGE bros, ferretting out dead social security recipients who aren't actually dead at all. Here’s a ‘dead’ person on Social Security in Seattle, with plenty to say https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/politics/heres-a-dead-person-on-social-security-in-seattle-with-plenty-to-say/
  8. Bernie used to say they should have sprinklers lining the tracks that would just activate randomly.
  9. I'm pretty sure if they'd stayed on the slicks, they'd have been fucked in terms of lap time. It was still too wet in too many places at that point from what I could see.
  10. Elon Musk Shared, Then Deleted X Post Absolving Hitler, Stalin and Mao of Genocide https://www.nytimes.com/2025/03/14/technology/elon-musk-x-post-hitler-stalin-mao.html If anyone has access to the full story, please post.
  11. You couldn't see it too well on the tv feed, but here's what caused the Fred spin. Dunno if it was from when Gasly went a little wide a couple seconds ahead of Fernando, or maybe earlier with Piastri?
  12. This is exactly why I've been saying in-season testing should be brought back (or one very good reason, of many). Just put it under the budget cap with everything else and let the teams decide how much to test or not test.
  13. Maybe it's on fire.
  14. Wind is from the west now but about to start coming from the NW. Looks like Fburg should still be ok though imho.
  15. Wow. that's a pretty smooth circuit, so if that's a problem for them there, it could be a big problem for them much of the year.
  16. LOL down here in the '49, my boy Sushi (who thinks he's a dog) is covered in ash & leaves but dgaf. He ain't movin'. Mojo otoh is taking shelter underneath the chair. He's usually camped in the other chair.
  17. LOL the fat sack o' shit is saying now that he was being sarcastic when he said he'd end the Ukraine war on day 1. Trump says his vow to end Ukraine's war in 24-hours was 'sarcastic' https://www.euronews.com/2025/03/15/trump-says-he-was-a-bit-sarcastic-when-he-claimed-he-could-end-the-war-in-ukraine-in-24-ho
  18. They need to suck it up, give Trump a big middle finger, forego the Fed funding, and figure it out going forward with a big push for donors to help offset the loss etc. Obviously would make things tough for a while, but cutting the umbilical would be far better for them in the long run. Even if they do what the MAGAts want right now, that won't be the end of the bullshit. Blackmail is the gift that keeps on giving.
  19. Yep. Buncha 'Yertle the Turtle' little bitches.
  20. Mark Kelly: "Elon Musk kinda turned out to be an asshole, and I don't wanna be driving a car built and designed by an asshole"
  21. Looks like a fucking Klan meeting back there no cr.
  22. JFC. Not sure I've ever seen a whiter crowd ... and those chucklefucks standing behind HP would drive me fucking insane if I was sitting behind them.
  23. Are we sure that's not a newly unearthed photo from Lewis's totally not drunk night of Monaco collisions a few years ago? : )
  24. Mrs. Wood (no pics you animals) and I returned a little while ago from the Veterans Against Trump rally at the Capitol. OK crowd. Very spirited. Very emotional. Extremely defiant toward Trump, Musskolini, Cruz, and Abbott. 'FOXTROT DELTA TANGO!' was a very popular chant. Pics later on ...
