    I haven't watched this race in a while but I don't remember this many issues this early, on a dry track in the daylight.   This isn't normal, is it?

    no, they were just talking with one of the taylors and he thought maybe it had a bit to do with all the testing being cold weather and it's warm today. 

     

    the smashed lexus is back on track

     

    edit: imsa radio reporting the smashed lambo is back on track as well

    If you want a double quarter cheese then yeah, do that. If you want a bigger, beefier Big Mac, order it with quarter pound patties. If you want, you can also order a Quarter Pounder Big Mac which is a Quarter Cheese with special sauce, lettuce, pickles, and onions.

    are all the mcdonalds permutations on the spreadsheet too?

    Well you have to account for a couple factors:

    • Biden Gas is $5/gallon for their $600/month pickup truck (even when it's not, but they feel like it is, so that's the actual price they have to pay)
    • They have to stop and eat and pay $35 for a Big Mac because of inflation + lazy ass fast food workers wanting a "living" wage
    • $3000 trip to pick up more ammo they won't use 
    • $800 for a new Trump flag (x5 for every vehicle) ordered from Trump's campaign website*

     

     

     

    *$799 goes directly to E Jean Carroll and $1 goes to the campaign

    *starts configuring ram*

    definitely need all the equipment packages, big screen, leather interior, power extending running boards because my wife totally needs those to get into it i'm definitely not a manlet ... why does the alpine require two tone paint and removing the sunroof?  84 month loan, roll over negative equity from truck i had 3 trucks ago... $2,000/month

    The cost may diminish but the footprint won't.  How many acres of solar or wind farms would you need to power a city like Houston?

    those dots aren't wind turbines or solar farms and they're up to 5 acres each where literally nothing else is happening.

     

     

    meanwhile solar panels have gotten so cheap that you can install them vertically and run combines between them:

    I've not played these myself but you can try out Iron Harvest and Company of Heroes 3.  They are both in the Command and Conquer style.  Iron Harvest looks to be an alternate history of WW1 where humans have developed mechs.  Company of Heroes 3 is a WW2 game.  

    i really should play that, bought it a while back but oh the queue. 

     

    edit: by a while back i mean 2 years ago 🙃

    But he does bankroll it. And his state department has done nothing but furrow its brow (on its best days)

    Israel's war against Hamas has now been raging for over 100 days. According to Ian Lustick, professor emeritus at the University of Pennsylvania, history tells us what it will take to end it.

    according to the professor each of israel's prior wars ended when a great or superpower stepped in and told them to stop.  once great britain, a time or two the soviets, mostly us.  so, biden's state department could end it, but it doesn't.  because the US doesn't step in to tell israel to stop until it's politically worthwhile, domestically, for the president to do so.  he then compares it to the US position on cuba, which is entirely driven by a small but politically powerful set of cuban ex-pats.
