  1. Well boo. Got mine out of storage tonight for a weekend trip and the fridge is busted. Blinking red light error code, google says the control board needs to be replaced. Gonna have to get by with coolers and ice old school styles.
  2. The first movie was just Dances with Wolves. I'll watch the sequels on Disney+ or something but not at a theater.
  3. Checo predicting the racing will be bad because there is "no grip" off the racing line.
  4. I'm pretty sure the inspection is just lights and brakes.
  5. It could go up or not. Entering a brand new team has an enormous upfront cost just to be there. Then the cost of the program itself. Buying an existing team avoids that entrance payment. That assumes a team is willing to sell. Several years back there were 24 on the grid I think with the likes of Marussia and Caterham. I think there was another one too that was maybe a series of letters? They all dissolved or morphed into other teams.
  6. I know it isn't as exciting as the cars some of you 1%ers can get, but I would love to get one of the new Acura Integras. A manual transmission hatchback with a limited slip diff and adaptive dampers. All at a relatively affordable price point. It's got a few more nice bits that the Civic SI it's based on doesn't get.
  7. MotoGP and highest levels of Rally are the two forms of motorsport that just look absolutely nuts to me. Pretty much every other style of motorsport, at least on land, I look at and think "man I'd like to try a few laps in one of those" and naively think I could at least make it around. But Rally and MotoGP I'm just, "nope!"
  8. He's not as big of a YouTube personality as Potato, but there is another Brit that goes by Ursa Ryan that makes edited Civ videos in a similar style to Potato. He also will highlight various mods and things. He's pretty good and he isn't quite as over the top as Potato can get. I don't mind most of Potato's videos but he could dial back the "giga yields!" "Sweet Jesus!" Etc exclamations about 1000%. He can becomes a little too much of a cartoon or leans on memes a little too hard for my taste. Ursa Ryan isn't as big, and I think he isn't technically a full time YouTuber but he does upload videos very frequently.
  9. I'm not sure how much interest Alonso has in mentoring a young driver, but an Andretti-Alonso-Herta team could be fun. At the very least Alonso could carry the load in the development/feedback area while Herta gets up to speed.
  10. Pretty fun sprint. Sainz and Perez had great gains. McLaren looking solid as well.
  11. I'm watching on the app, it only went live a min ago
  12. With that much faith you really should have built the grand masters chapel as your second tier government plaza building. Let's you purchase land military units with faith.
  13. Artillery needs support of a balloon or drone to let it out range the city. And a general that gives it extra movement allows it to fire on the turn it moves even without the promotion. City state bonuses are huge. Don't ignore them. Decide a victory condition by turn 100 and then focus on that. Check the AI victory progress every 15-20 turns to make sure you spot someone threatening a win in time to deal with them.
  14. Wordle 300 4/6 ⬜⬜🟩⬜🟩 🟩🟩🟩⬜🟩 🟩🟩🟩⬜🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 It was one of those rounds.
  15. Formula Grand Prix Sunday isn't the race. It's pregame stuff. The race itself has a screenshot of the track and will be titled Australian Grand Prix or similar. The Spanish channel one works fine.
  16. ESPN App still doesn't have an English broadcast of the race on demand. Spanish only. I waited and tried to get it to work all day and finally gave up and watched highlights on YouTube. Sounds like I didn't miss much.
  17. I'd feel real proud of not for the fact that it's a pretty easy word with very common letters. And my first guess eliminated a couple of vowels.
  18. Wordle 286 2/6 ⬜⬜⬜⬜🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
  19. Last time I got pulled over they didn't even ask for registration or proof of insurance. He just scanned the barcode on my sticker with a hand held thing. I assume that pulled up all the relevant info.
  20. I don't begrudge anyone leaving a team run by Horner. I wish Ric could have landed in a better situation than Renault. That ended up being unfortunate. F1 is like that though. Alonso has had multiple unfortunate team changes. It's not a spec series, so politics, budget, and luck are just as much of the overall equation as driver skill
  21. Oh, maybe. I didn't scroll down that list. It's probably like 20 down that. Will try to remember for next time. I also wish you could select the live one but start it at the beginning. It sucks having to wait until the event concludes before you can watch the on demand version. Their app is just clunky.
  22. In the ESPN app on the Xbox, which is what I'm using on my living room TV, I have to select Auto Racing first and then I can select F1. F1 isn't in the first list of choices.
  23. Fun race, even if ESPN did spoil the replay for me. Glad to see the cars being able to run close has seemingly worked out. Hopefully we get racing like this all year.
  24. Well hell, trying to watch the replay and ESPN app immediately spoiled it.
