    Finally got around to watching the Bathurst event completely.  I thought it was pretty darn interesting.  If that track was a lane wider there would be plenty of opportunities to pass. BTW, during non-racing times the road is open to the public.  BMWs just plain outsmarted the field for the overall.  Great finish, great race, and great track will watch this series again.  Thanks for the link.  

    Unfortunately IGTC doesn't have that many events, and the two 24 hour races are back to back with the Nurburgring 24 and the 24 Hours of Spa on June 19-22 and 26-29. I think that's mostly because the big GT3 teams (like WRT) are busy running in WEC and IMSA, so there's not a lot of slots on the calendar. Bathhurst, Spa, and Indianapolis are each the crown jewel races of their respective continental SRO GT3 series, GT World Challenge Australia, Europe, and Americas (coming to CoTA May 17-19) respectively. Between those three championships there's a ton of GT3 racing available on youtube practically year round, though.

  2. gonna be hard to get closer than this in the when taken game. 48 meters off. probably could have zoomed the map more.

  3. republicans: europe doesn't pay enough for defense quit mooching

    also republicans: drug companies need to soak the US because europe doesn't pay enough for drugs and we need to make sure drug companies are funded so they keep making new drugs

    also also republicans: let's cut off funding to research institutions

  4. she is almost certainly driving some giant offroader so obviously she should drive up the ramp and park in the grass. walla, not blocking anything and using a simple machine for its intended use.

    Some motherfucker in the lab I work in left an open(!) gallon jug of 95% methanol (toxic, extremely flammable, burns with an invisible flame) just sitting in the fume hood, with the exhaust fan off. Couldn't be bothered to take the 15 seconds and screw the lid back on return it to the flammables cabinet, which is like 5 feet away from the fume hood. I know who did it, even if I have no direct evidence. Who knows how long that shit has been sitting there, evaporating away. 

    And of course we get safety audited, and the safety nazis wrote us up for it (as they should have). 

    So now we all have to take a chemical safety course. 4 hours sitting in room listening to some 20 year old nerd drone on. We're lucky we didn't fined. 

    Sweartogod, post docs are some of the dumbest assholes alive. I'm surprised the dumb motherfucker didn't light a cigarette and immolate himself like a Buddhist monk while he was in there dicking around. 

    And the dingle-cherry on the shit sundae is that I have been assigned by the lab director to inventory all the chemicals and make sure they are all properly stored, with the proper paperwork filed with the safety nazis. Because the post doc who left the shit out in the first place is too busy to do it. 

     

     

    Indycar pit fires were wild for years because of this stuff. Burns invisible, if you didn't know.

    Based on what I experienced while running errands today, I would be willing to turn a blind eye if dotard and Muskolini decided to revoke women's right to drive.

    And use the self checkout.

    Fucked up tomato kills me. When making the sandwich you know it sucks. You see that it sucks. It feels sucky. And you stick it on the sandwich. Thus, you suck.

    Or when they put a cold side (cole slaw) in with hot sides (mac and cheese). Why don't you just mix them together you lazy ass?

    I do have to ask. Who the hell ordered your lunch?

    Another peeve are when we call in lunch for a project team. We put it in a common area and out come the cubicle dwellers. Fuckers, you did not eat so you can get soggy sandwiches that were sitting in our team room for at least an hour? Come on. I get it, it is a novelty and "guests" get treated special. But it ain't that good.

    When I run a team I love it when there is a small family place in the building or nearby. Give me a vietnamese run deli any day. call ahead, ask if they can put some tables together, and meet there. Plus we can get out of the conference room for a bit.

     i would kill for real sides instead of a small bag of chips and a pickle spear which also comes in a bag.

    continuing ed committee chair or maybe reception at her office ordered.

  9. Last of the homemade hoagie roll cheesesteaks. Scooped roll, 1/2 lb thin sliced ribeye from hmart, 3 slices provolone from the deli case, a couple big spoons of translucent onions, salt and pepper, and (i think this was key as this was better than the one on superbowl sunday) a couple big spoonfuls of cento hoagie spread.

  10. i totally believe ana when he says he didn't say something "in such words." dude never says anything specific while he's over there tossing molotovs expressly for the shield of not being quoted.

    Well, Magico, I suggest you not drop the ball on Neeta's lunch tomorrow.  Jason's Deli is usually a hit.

    Looking at the production cost is stupid to begin with. A penny or any other coin gets exchanged multiple times more than its production cost. I’d like to see the use rate of all these coins and small denomination bills to see how much reuse they get. No, I’m not going to look it up, do the research for me. #DT

     

    pennies don't get reused much because they spend so much time sitting in jars. other change somewhat less so.

    I can be pretty critical of TV shows, so it seemed like I should check out Lioness when I was told attractive ladies seem to start kissing out of nowhere and Zoe Saldana gets naked to make sure it was a well written, intellectual, factually accurate, true to life series.
