  1. Welp ... there ya go. I'm having trouble finding this. Anyone have a link for me to post on a very nitpicky board I post on? Never mind. I found it on his FB page.
  2. Yeah you could see she was really pissed and had something to say as soon as they cut away from the presser. Good for her.
  3. Same NWS that recently suffered big cuts to personnel and resources?
  4. I was talking about the morons who support them.
  5. Este.
  6. The stupidest people on the planet.
  7. Thanks fucking amazing. From one storm that wasn't even in the forecast.
  8. u Yep, and there have been two little-publicized incidents in the last , idk, 10 years that I know of where AFD crews were assaulted upon arrival. One in NE Austin where a crew was attacked by a man in the front yard of a residence after being called there for an emergency, resulting in serious injuries to at least one FF. Another was downtown, where some homeless folks had been squatting in an abandoned building and starting fires inside the building for cooking and/or for heat. Can't remember what season it was when this happened. Crew was assaulted trying to extinguish one of those fires.

    He's a douchebag with an affected announcing style and agonizingly slow cadence for effect. On DTS he's the leader of the false narratives that show thrives on, always villainizing one driver or making a hero of another, using imagined conflicts or other fabricated events as the fuel for the narrative. DTS is mostly fiction with a pretty F1 backdrop.

    Dude is just the worst, and a pos on top of that.
  11. As usual, Fernando knows exactly what's happening out there. The tactical awareness is off the charts ... ... and we all saw what happened as soon as he lost DRS with Lawson. https://www.planetf1.com/news/fernando-alonso-avoided-an-incident-in-untelevised-lewis-hamilton-battle-austria
  12. Probably. Alonso's tires were absolutely gone. A lot of people are saying that was one of Alonso's best drives ... ever.
  13. Yeah, one Bernie is worth about eleventy-bazillion Karuns. And once Martin is gone, Bernie should be on every single pit walk, with Ted, Naomi, or Simon, etc. I said a long time ago that the best grid walk would be Bernie & Ted. That went pretty well yesterday.

    Oh, one more thing: Far too much Buxton. But then, for me, any Buxton is too much.
  15. Oh, one more thing re: the movie: Far too much Buxton. But then, for me, any Buxton is too much.
  16. Man, someone won't like that one bit. I'm not naming names, but it starts with George.
  17. JFC, someone please, please, please put a muzzle on Karun, FFS. I'm diggin' Bernie's makeover. Helluva nice race for Alonso. Much better outcome than I expected after FP. For once, strategy and the race worked in his favor.

  19. He's closer to the puck.

    Saw it yesterday at the IMAX in Kyle. It's not the Bullock, but it's the best IMAX screen I've seen outside of the Bullock. And you still get to pick your seats, unlike the Bullock. Better movie than I was expecting. Better than Rush and Ford v Ferrari imho. Not on the level of LeMans or Grand Prix for me, but I doubt anything ever will be. Funny at times, decent story, fantastic action scenes. Good entertainment. Lots of familiar faces, even some I've met. Some silly Hollywood-ized moments that avid F1 fans will catch, but they aren't big enough to ruin anything. Overall, good flick that didn't make me feel like I wasted my time or money, like so many other movies do these days. F1 is still a stupid movie title though.
  22. I finally got the chance to watch Q. Yuki can drive a car. We've all seen it. Just like Perez etc can drive. This RBR is just a shitbox and Max is a freak. Differences in driver performance/ability will always be more apparent when the car is struggling. In Q2 you could see the car sliding all over the place and Max still put it in the top 5. That car is a disaster and looks scary af to drive on the limit - if you can even figure out where the limit is. Seems like a constantly moving target. I kinda like this Harry Benjamin guy. Seems like they may be grooming him to take over for Crofty. I sure hope they aren't grooming Karun for Martin's spot though. The horror. eta: grooming. gromming. whatever it takes.
  23. Love me some halo (& IndyCar's aeroscreen). I remember people crying about the way it looked, calling it an abomination, etc. Now that the design is more integrated with the overall design of the car, we hardly notice it. And obtw the list of probable lives saved just keeps growing. No more loose wheels killing people a la Henry Surtees, etc, etc.
