  1. Tessitore is fucking horribad.
  2. Yep. I still don't like the guy, but he had a great game.
  3. Fuck Mack Brown.
  4. New Orleans: Rented F-150 Lightning electric pickup Vegas: Rented Tesla electric pickup Related, or a coincidence? Who knows ...
  5. New Orleans: Rented F-150 Lightning electric pickup Vegas: Rented Tesla electric pickup Both rented on Turo. Related, or a coincidence? Who knows?
  6. Elton John at COTA. Dismal. He seemed pissed off and clearly didn't want to be there. However much he got paid, he didn't deserve it.
  7. My buddy out by COTA just texted me like he does every year, with a video where you can hear nothing but AKs all around. That's how they roll out in SE Travis County.
  8. Yeah my dipshit neighbor spends a couple grand on em every NYE and July 4th, then leaves the huge fireworks mess in the cul de sac and our yards. I sweater god he's laundering money for the cartels. Sounds like Gaza outside my house right now. All the animals are hiding out.
  9. Happy New Year, & Hookem!! Here's to a better '25 than '24.
  10. Is that for realz? ETA: Never mind. It's for realz.
  11. Seriously, this. I parked next to one yesterday at Costco on William Cannon, so I took a good look at it before going in. All I kept thinking about was how much dumbassery combined with abject dorkdom and Musk fanboiism would be required to make a grownup think this thing was cool and that paying way too much money for it would be a good idea.
  12. Pretty amazing. Here's video from the safe belly landing of the LOT 767 in 2011. I think it has flaps fully down. The plane stopped in half of the runway length. Captain is a got damn hero.
  13. Is there video that shows the left engine's thrust reverser closed? Maybe I missed it. Yep. The ILS locator antennae construction was atypical and not ideal to be sure, but the much bigger problem was that they came in long, touching down much too far down that runway. ... and that they came in very fast relative to normal landing speeds.
  14. Yeah we've done some shit almost as tough as that out at Big Bend, maybe tougher overall, in our old stock fwd Toyota Sienna minivan. No problems. That thing was a fucking workhorse. We treated it like a truck, and it was all like "That's it? What else ya got?"
  15. If both engines were hit, which has been the subject of some talk on CNN, electrics and hydraulics would almost certainly be impacted. I haven't been following it today, but I don't think it's been confirmed that only one engine was hit.
  16. As an alternative, K1 is aight. Not as big or fast of a track, but they tend to maintain their karts better than COTA does. Still not great maintenance there, but COTA does a terrible job with them, esp for what you pay. You never know what kinda shitty kart you'll get at COTA. Last 2 or 3 times I went to COTA with my boys, we all got wildly varying karts every race, with different levels of power, steering out of whack pulling hard to one side, shitty brakes, etc, etc.
  17. Probably already talked about, but I'll jump on the pile. Fuck all the left lane squatters. The single biggest thing we could do to improve traffic on our highways would be to crack down on these fuckers. I've driven in most states, and it's far worse here than any of those, minus that hellscape called I-10 in Louisiana. Go north or west and it instantly improves. Get past Louisiana and it improves dramatically. There's a special place in hell for these self-important cocksuckers, and they can all go straight there as far as I'm concerned..
  18. Pretty much any bird or other foreign object can take out an engine. Doesn't have to be a big one.

    Yellowstone

    Yeah it was all completely ridiculous, when there was actually shit happening every once in a while. If the other seasons had been half as bad as this one, the show wouldn't have lasted long.
