    Heh ... Richard Mille watches worth ‘hundreds of thousands of dollars’ stolen during F1 weekend https://www.kxan.com/news/crime/richard-mille-watches-worth-hundreds-of-thousands-of-dollars-stolen-during-f1-weekend/
  2. Yeah I hate that rule. I'm fine with intentionally walking someone whenever you want, but the pitcher should always have to throw the pitches.
  3. You mean automatic intentional BBs, or all intentional BBs?

    The Mexican GP weekend ... begun, it has.

    I think, iirc, one way they can get away with it is by saying that the flyover was a training mission, as in 'We were going to log training hours in this area anyway. We just decided to log them here' (after being asked or directed to do so, of course). They can and do log all sorts of flights as training missions. Some actually are. Some are just moving a person or an aircraft from A to B, or all kinds of other stuff. That's still, as you say, a military flyover though, no matter how they dress it up. No idea if that's what they did here, of course.
  9. Yep. Right after it I wondered how many MAGAts immediately said "Sounds like some Radical Left Lunatic propaganda", and then looked at the screen and saw who it was.
  10. Glad that he pointed out that despite Trump's obvious lie, ain't no fentanyl coming from South America.

    Huh. I guess I'm taking crazy pills then, 'cuz I coulda swore I saw a big container of Nestle Quik for about $15 at the HEB the other day (it was open). That was just down the aisle from the 6-pack of Hershey's with almonds for $8.24. Coffee, chocolate, & a whole lot of other shit is abso-fucking-lutely through the roof.

    I think re: the tire situation, it's as has been alluded to earlier (that the biggest problem among many is the current data-driven nature of the sport, i.e. it doesn't really matter so much what kind of tire you throw at it, the data crunchers will analyze / simulate it to fucking death and spit out what is likely the quickest and often most boring strategy, which almost everyone will run some variation of).

    Hionestly, I can't remember. What I do remember is that it didn't take long after the 'ban' for a race to have a flyover, with the news reports saying it wasn't actually a military flyover or somesuch, and that's why it was allowed.
  14. OBTW, If our next turf is still artificial, can we at least haz dirt around all the bases? JFC that annoys the fuck outta me.
  15. Hell, not too long ago that was all parking lot anyway.

    This got the gears turning in my head, so I thought I'd see what's up at San Marcos Toyota. This is the very first thing I saw on their page ...

    Got damn ... we bought our first home (our current one) for $200K in 2001 when I was 36 and Mrs. Wood (no pics you filthy animals) was 30 ... and I thought I was really late and had been a huge lollygagger. Man, our poor kids.

    It's like everything else in F1. There are loopholes to be exploited.
  20. No doubt, and yeah, I knew you were just the messenger there. Wasn't trying to shoot you!

    nsiap ... AOC saying what I've been saying for a while now, although much more eloquently of course. 'They are weaker than they look ... They rely on the impression of power ... They are underwater across the board, and they know it ... They will experience the consequences of this, but we have to be the consequence'.
  22. I'm all for that, too. I was 9 when they opened the mfer. Make it so, CDC. Yep. Surely there are top men on this already. TOP men.
  23. Cool. If I have to pay a donation for every seat, then I'm probably out. I think they already said they'll have another Yeti Yard type of thing in right next year. I'm all for outfield seating if we can get it, but I'd really love to see the upper level extended down the 3B line. Yeah, I know, I'm 60, so prolly not in my lifetime. ETA: Re: Fire access, Fire can already access the garage from the MLK entrance and the one from the IH35 feeder. That seems like enough to this old firefighter's eyes, but what do I know. I'm sure they have measurable standards for that kinda thing, but that seems like enough to me. Maybe it's about Comal St. hydrant access.

    Weird how George only talks about tires and doesn't mention the inability to follow closely. Maybe he should go back in time and talk Toto out of pushing for the re-introduction of outwash wings. Also, I'm not sure what he's after here, since there are only a few more races left under this ruleset.
