  1. I'm not saying I like it, because I absolutely do not, but it's quite common and started gaining traction in F1 long before Max got there. The way they have defined the overtaking 'rules' and enforce/don't enforce them has made it extremely difficult on anyone trying to overtake on the outside, not just guys trying to overtake Max. We saw several incidents like Max & Lando's at that turn just this weekend, and iirc only one or maybe two resulted in a penalty for forcing the other driver off. I'm not even sure what was so different about that one, either. There is very little black and white now in the driving standards. Mostly a lot of gray, which seems to be what they want.
  2. Yeah it was new when I lived there, so still fairly nice, but on the lower end. Small houses with small yards. Lots of younger Navy families. /csb
  3. Gladiola Crescent in Green Run, 1975, yo. Probably a real dump now.
  4. They even had fake drive-through customers who rehearsed beforehand lol.
  5. So cool that both of my boys played baseball games at that field. And I almost forgot, I coached there as well.
  6. Pretty much. I was finally able to get the whole article by turning off my wifi right after loading it. Here it is:
  7. Just heard people were stuck in Lot T for 2.5 hours after Q yesterday. Apparently no traffic control. Took 3.5 hours just to get to 130.
  8. Yeah and I was thinking about something similar last night. Harris has the Obamas, Bill Clinton, lots of high-profile Dems, and multiple prominent Republicans actively campaigning for her. Meanwhile, Trump can't get past Republican Presidents or even many current high-profile Republicans to lift a finger to campaign for him or endorse him, even his own VP. That alone says all we need to know imho.
  9. Elmo & Trump remind me of these guys.
  10. LOL imagine thinking it's a good thing to have Antonio Brown speak at your event.
  11. So Elon conned Trump, which is what he does. Man, they deserve each other so much.
  12. Red Bull caught cheating? Mark Hughes says 'Naw, man'. https://www.motorsportmagazine.com/articles/single-seaters/f1/mph-red-bull-caught-cheating-it-absolutely-categorically-was-not/?utm_campaign=2819921_Scalextric sponsored ED_F1_191024_Floor height&utm_medium=email&utm_source=emailCampaign&dm_i=4DIP,1OFV5,75DNUM,7W9XS,1 Paywalled, so here's the gist: Basically, everyone has known about the system for years, and in order to cheat they’d have to do it in full view of the FIA scrutineers. FIA have stated they’ve found no evidence of any violation.
  13. nsiap Trump compares jailed Capitol rioters to Japanese internment during World War II https://apnews.com/article/jan-6-trump-japanese-capitol-riot-85573774c03b46f36aadd35d5f0b77ca
  14. Yeah, but c'mon, man. You don't think he really means that, do you? Oh, wait.
  15. I wish I could rep this times eleventy bazillion.
  16. I think I saw some pics of that somewhere. Hold on ... Yeah, here they are:
  17. I heard and read that it was a disaster last night, with people leaving the track while the concertgoers were trying to arrive, which is exactly what Bobby wants. He pushed back the Friday and Saturday second sessions years ago, starting with the Taylor Swift concert, just to get more of the race-goers to go to the concert and mix with the people who are only there for the concert. For optics to get the State money. Meanwhile, most of the race-goers still leave after the racing is over, which creates a huge trafic snarl. Either way, it's good for his optics. "See? Tons of people here!!" I also heard the paddock shuttles weren't running after Sprint Q and some people walked a long way until until they finally found a driver and his shuttle in another lot, smoking a cig. So now they're starting to piss off the 1% Bobby so desperately covets. Bold strategy, Cotton.
  18. Watching Obama's Tucson speech right now ...
  19. Haha fuck you Okie State.
  20. Yep. Tavo did a helluva job with it. Too bad about the rest ...
  21. Kinda skurred to click on that.
  22. I thought he was penciled in for SECDEF.
  23. I'd imagine it is. I figgered I'd let these agencies decide.
