  1. Obviously amazing driving, but *that sound*!!!! 🤤
  2. Russia is the only party in the world that can end this quickly and painlessly and get away from these potential "consequences". WIthdraw to your own borders (including GTFO out of Crimea), and send your troops home. Simple.
  3. From Round Rock, where the Red Bull is colder than the weather... T E X A S !!!
  4. You said it much more eloquently than I, but I'm right with you on this...
  5. For me, I tend to think that God has bigger things in mind than the things we typically pray for. And, as mentioned, free will is our blessing and our curse. My prayers for little Johnny would be more along the lines of "let this pass him by, if it fits in your plans, or grant his family peace if it is his time". I think a lot of it is meditative. The act of expressing your thanks and/or your needs can be very healthy & centering. YMMV
  6. Will definitely be binge-watching that...
  7. Can Rob & Ryan move up to the big leagues and buy us next?
  8. Serious/dumb question - why not target & take out the mine trawler? Seems like that would be the best tactical move. Only thing I can think of is that, strategically, maybe Ukraine *prefers* these types of attacks. It's like shooting fish in a barrel...and Russia is happy to keep re-packing the barrel?
  9. In a typical race, a very low floor can lead to much better aerodynamics for the overall car. The intent of the rule is to make sure teams don't run *too* low - I think I read this was due to the fact that anything that raises that floor during a race (like a bump for example) can cause a rapid loss in downforce that can lead to the driver losing control. Even as a Max fanboy, this seems unfair on this particular weekend - the stewards even said (paraphrasing) "it's probably because we didn't give them enough time to dial things in since we added a sprint race. Oh, and also because this track surface suuuuuuuuuuuucks." I did laugh at this during the interview...
  10. FIFM. Incredibly boring race, er, sprint.
  11. The track surface is, frankly, embarrassing.
  12. Damn @wood, I'm sorry and congrats? Sounds like you won't forget this weekend, at least. We bailed again on enduring the COTA logistical shitshow, so will be watching the broadcasts somewhere well-air conditioned. There's a local British pub in RR that we may check out for a few of the sessions at least.
  13. We got AHS as part of a home purchase ~12 years back, and we've kept renewing it since then. We've replaced microwaves, a dishwasher, and several water heaters. We've gotten repairs on our HVAC multiple times. With all of that, I'd say we are about breaking even. I actually plan to cancel them this fall/winter though. 2 big reasons: - you have to use their contractors for repairs, and they are never quick. When your AC goes out in the Texas summer, 3/4/5 days of waiting for someone to even come look, just doesn't cut it. -their coverage for AC coolant replacement is just stupid. They pay something like $10 a pound...and the actual cost is more like $100 a pound. The rest, lf course, comes out of my pocket. And finally, I've just had enough of them band-aiding our AC units every summer with no thought of replacing them (regardless of how much screaming we do). I keep thinking 'surely this will be the year that it completely dies and they have to replace it'...but it never happens.
  14. Also allows them to say they *want* to keep him, and avoid coming to terms with the fact that they can't *afford* to not keep him.
  15. I feel like we're living parallel lives. Our 2016 Silverado was stolen, and we have a 20 year old suburban that is no longer reliable. With an admitted GM bias, we looked at Ford, Dodge, GMC, and Chevy when looking for a replacement. Ended up with another Chevy anyway - a Silverado High Country with the 3.0 babymax. We felt the interior was on the same level as the other higher-end options, and the new entertainment screen is much larger than the previous gen. Babymax is like 400hp/500lbft and still gets 30mpg on the highway. No complaints at all - though we're only 8k miles in.
  16. Wait...are we actually allowed to score 2 goals in a single game? A win is a win!!!!
  17. First game to attend this year. Our friend's tailgate is on the southside, but I'm hoping our walk will take us by so I can see some of you heathens in the wild...
  18. I worked at a Weinerschnitzel for 1 hour back in college. Walked out after the training video and never looked back. Come to think of it, after 30+ years of interest, they probably owe me tens of dollars since I never picked up a paycheck. Actually, shit, maybe they still have me on the schedule and they keep wondering why this asshole keeps missing his shifts.
  19. So, games where we dominate time of possession, we can't win or even score. But if you give us <40%, we'll eek one out...
  20. Map to tailgate party not showing for some reason... We haven't gone the last few years, as we got tired of the traffic and logistics bullshit (refer to thread topic)....but I think we may go this year. I'll be looking for those stubhub options as it gets closer, likely...
