  1. Exactly. I remember way back, long before I really got into F1, a coworker who did some racing was talking about what makes a race car fast around a track. He said the more stable a car is, the more limited it is in terms of performance. He talked about needing a car to be inherently unstable at the start in order to really be able to change direction well, which is absolutely critical in road circuit racing. I couldn't get my head around that for a little while, knowing nothing about it at the time. It seemed counterintuitive, but now it makes perfect sense.
  2. Yep, we talked about it some here a little while back. A twitchier, more 'on the nose' car will generally perform better because it changes direction well, so if the drivers could handle it, the engineers would make the car as twitchy as possible to extract the most possible performance from it. The problem is that every driver has a limit to how twitchy of a car they can handle. Otherwise, the engineers would make every car super-'pointy'. Apparently Max's threshold and ability to tame that twitchiness is off the charts.
  3. Great question. And then you have the ethical questions like "Is it ok to yell 'movie' in a crowded firehouse?" And religious questions like "Does the Pope shit in the woods?"
  4. *Their. No CR? Yeah ok. My take on Rogan has been the same for years, no matter who I've voted for, and I've voted on both sides of the aisle very recently. So, actually no CR. Sorry not sorry we pissed off the Rogan fanbros lol.
  5. Awesome. I remember when Sark was announced as our new HC. I was surprised and a little skeptical. But it didn't take long for me to see that he is the guy. If he can continue to attract talented 18-year-olds that understand things like what CJ wrote in that letter, then he's going to do incredible things here. He clearly knows how to build a program and a culture from the ground up.
  6. No Hunter? I smell a boycott ...
  7. Yeah, fuck that POS.
  8. Yeah we've all heard that they pipe in noise, and I believe it, but is there more info / details out there about this? My apologies if it's already been posted in the thread, but there's no way I'm going back through the whole thing. And I wonder, like the earlier poster who asked "how is this even legal". Don't make a shit though. We're gonna mudhole the dirty sheepfuckers.
  9. Damn. I love me some walleye. Sooooooo good. Sadly, I haven't had any since we last caught some when I lived in Tennessee ... damn near 50 years ago. /csb
  10. Gibson Hits Trump Guitars With Cease and Desist A company with Les Paul-style six-strings is claiming it's the "only guitar officially endorsed by President Donald J. Trump" https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/gibson-trump-guitars-cease-and-desist-1235180511/
  11. Estos.
  12. Yeah I went one time, about 40 years ago. McIvor and the Horns tore 'em a new one. Never felt the need to go back and be surrounded by that mass of miserable excuses for humanity.
  13. Night game, so this guy will be aight ...
  14. Exactly, at least short of a recession or a depression, which might not be far off. Just like the idiots who voted for Trump 'because inflation' which he helped kick off in the first place. Inflation is back to normal, and those prices aren't going back to pre-covid/Putin levels.
  15. There's an easy cure for that.
  16. I'm guessing tonight during MNF, a whole lot of aggy TVs were broken by flying projectiles when they replayed Tuck's gwfg in CS. Also, iirc I 'member one of y'all saying that after this year this game is going back to T+1. Is that right, or did I dream it?
  17. Wouldn't surprise me if at some point we see Michael Andretti announced as Team Principal.
  18. Dan Wheldon's 15 yo is racing & looking good. Could be one to keep an eye on.
  19. People already talking about hoping Herta gets a seat. Dude's pretty meh if you ask me. It's not like he's exactly lit up IndyCar, and I personally don't really see him as a promising F1 talent. Surely there's someone else in the pipeline. Having an American driver is not top priority imho, at least not at the very beginning. They'll need good drivers to help them develop, from whatever country.
  20. Yep ...
  21. Panthers rookie Ja'Tavion Sanders discharged from hospital after suffering neck injury vs. Chiefs https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/panthers-rookie-jatavion-sanders-discharged-from-hospital-after-suffering-neck-injury-vs-chiefs/
  22. It's been a great game? LMFAO.
  23. Gen Z ... stupid af.
