  1. Yep. This comes from the same grandson of a German immigrant who said that success can be accounted for by genetics. Interesting. Too bad we didn't look into Trump's genes so we could have seen that he'd be a fraud, a felon, a fascist, a traitor, and an aspiring dictator.
  2. Reminds me of a joke I read today ... How do you make a Republican fall to his knees? Paint your d!ck orange.
  3. Missed this a couple of weeks ago, but never saw it posted, so nsiap. Cuban doing more good work, shredding Trump on the news networks.
  4. ... and probably another 'fuck you' to COTA imho. They'd rather pay millions to set up a street course in Arlington of all places than go to TMS or COTA lol.
  5. Oh, man. Gettin' a little dusty in here again ...
  6. In at 11am. Headed to the car at 5:30pm. Can walk around, but using a walker just for safety at first. There was some moderate aching starting an hour or two after I got home, but now that pain has eased even though I still haven't take any pain meds, not even tylenol. Crazy. I just had a significant part of my body removed and replaced by a prosthesis that was placed into a hole drilled into my femur, and it hurts far less than a toothache. Smooth operation from start to finish. Like a really awesome nap. They have their shit wired tight. Everyone was fantastic.
  7. Haha fuck you Dodgers, fuck Joe Kelly, and fuck your shitty fans.
  8. Lamar Jackson went full beast mode with that stiffarm before throwing the TD. Outstanding.
  9. You get Masters Historic, Masters Endurance, and Porsche Carrera Cup all three days this year. Both Masters categories have practices and qualifying sessions on Friday. The Porsches only have practice. Friday has the most hot track sessions of the three days (7).
  10. Marjorie Taylor Greene Doubles Down on Weather Comments After Backlash https://www.newsweek.com/marjorie-taylor-greene-doubles-down-weather-comments-after-backlash-1964508
  11. Bump. Going in tomorrow for my left hip replacement (severe degenerative osteoarthritis, bone on bone). Matthew Heinrich is my doc. Excellent reviews, and by multiple accounts 'the guy' in Texas for hip replacements. People come from all over Texas and even out of state to see him. I was gonna go with Frosty, but Heinrich's resume is just too good, and I think from what I can gather that Frosty is semi-retired and is just helping his boys now. I'm sure they are all excellent. Doing it at their surgical center in Lakeway, so no hospital stay or the associated bills. Outpatient. Should only be there a few hours total. They'll send me home and they want me up and moving the same day, but probably with a walker at first. MUCH less expensive than I anticipated, at least on my end. Surgery will be in the front, not the back like they used to do. Smaller incision, no cutting of the muscles, leading to better/quicker/easier recovery. Not looking forward to the rehab, but I know I need to go ahead and do this.
  12. Yep. Actually a LOT less for Montreal ticket prices. Montreal is an extreme bargain compared to any of the US races. This year, Montreal had something like 6 different grandstands that were cheaper than a GA pass at COTA will be. And it's in Montreal, so it has that going for it. Which is nice.
  13. If you're gonna go all 3 days, then yeah, prepare thy anus. If Friday only would do it for you, then you can do that pretty inexpensively. Don;t mess with Ticketmaster/COTA purchasing. You'll pay about 20% more in fees on top of the listed ticket price. Tickpick has Friday tickets right now starting at $18 all in. Going Friday only is a great way to get a feel for F1, the atmosphere, see/hear/smell the cars, etc, and then you can just kick back for the rest of the weekend & watch on TV. It's cheap and the crowd & lines are much more palatable, and it's a million times easier to follow the race on TV. With their shitty TVs and sound system, it's near impossible to follow the race at COTA.
  14. I mean, they're just using replay to legitimize bad calls now, and not just in football. MLB replay has gotten horribad.
  15. Welp. Fuck everything. Replay is a fucking waste of time.
  16. Yeah that was obvious targeting even in real time.
  17. LMAO they're playing Rocky Top.
  18. Rent free. Some things never change.
