  1. I think everyone should just get to make up their own clock. I'll be back at 372 o'clock to see what y'all think.
  2. Vernon & Alfred gonna have some meetings with Cade in the backfield. That front 7 is a buncha grown-ass men. They ain't balancing that power.
  3. Yeah that's what I'm hoping for too. She has the potential to dominate imho.
  4. Yeah I just like her overall package better compared to what we have with Avery in there - and that's not a slight to Averi. Not her fault she's not as tall or athletic as Ella, can't block as well or attack as easily, etc. I get that location was sometimes an issue for Ella, but from what I can see, Averi's location wasn't much better. IMHO, Ella also brings a fire to the team that was missing this year with the constant uncertainty of all the tinkering, changing setters or changing offenses.
  5. What's not clear is whether they want to completely get rid of DST, i.e. stick with standard winter time year-round with the sun going down an hour earlier in the summer than it does now, or just go to DST year round (which is what Trump seems to prefer), which would keep summer DST year round, giving us a later winter sunset than now. Personally, I'm in the latter group, which is where I think most people are. I think most people think that our later sunset in the summer is standard and DST is in the winter. It's winter time that's standard. https://www.cnn.com/2024/12/13/politics/daylight-saving-time-trump/index.html
  6. Re: Colapinto, it's Alpine, yall. I was just told today he's signed with them. Maybe in a reserve role, or maybe Doohan will be reserve. My friend thinks it's for the #2 seat. WeWillSee. Already seeing a conflicting report, but it's GPBlog, so who knows...
  7. Hey where's my MPGA hat? No worries. Surely Trump will be hawking them in ads soon. Yeah I remember when my Uncle Benton and his identical twin brother Clinton would come to my grandmother's house in Tennessee over the Holidays. The only way us kids could tell them apart was Benton being barely able to walk at all on his horribly misshapen left leg. It was from the bout he had with polio as a kid, but whenever us kids would ask our parents about it they would always try to change the subject because they didn't want us to have to worry about something that wasn't going to affect our future health. Welp, so much for that going forward, I guess ...
  8. Every time someone posts a pic of this guy, this is all I can see ...
  9. The FIA actually might not be able to, but FOM and the teams sure can. They're making far more money than ever before.
  10. Anyone know when remaining seats will go on sale to the public (if there are any)?
  11. I've been calling for this for 20+ years.
  12. Fuck cancer. Eddie Jordan says he's fighting an aggressive form of bladder and prostate cancer. https://www.autosport.com/f1/news/eddie-jordan-reveals-aggressive-cancer-diagnosis/10681892/?_ga=2.122877195.1417257564.1732902104-940737110.1610577366 I took a photo of Mrs. Wood (no pics) with Eddie in the Paddock a few years ago. I'll see if I can find it. Very happy, friendly man on that day, as he's always seemed to me whenever I've seen him.
  13. Of course it will. They think Trump isn't part of the problem, even though his policies made the problem far worse. He was the one who deprioritized deportation of criminals and significantly reduced the numbers of deportations overall. Obama prioritized deportation of criminals and made far more criminal deportations and far more overall removals per year for 8 years than Trump ever did. Then Trump killed the Bipartisan Border Bill and heaped all the blame on Biden ... and fml, it worked, because people are fucking morons.
  14. They are. That's what F1 wanted and apparently still wants. There's a lot F1 could do even within that m.o. though that could make the racing more variable while reintroducing a 'push, push, push' mentality and getting rid of the ridiculous tire nursing. But I guess F1 is just too lazy for that these days. They'd rather just fuck around with stupid 'fixes' for shit that's not broken than find solutions for the things that are. Even when they do find productive solutions, they just ditch them within a year or so because a big team or two just can't get their heads around how to make it work and be quick at the same time, and then cry 'safety'. Can Pirelli produce a race tire that performs well over at least half or even all of a race distance the way Michelin, Bridgestone, etc have done with ease for decades? I don't know, but having owned some myself that were on a new car I bought, I have my doubts. Pirelli tires are ass, my dude. I'll never buy another tire not named Michelin, but if I had to, there are so many brands that are way ahead of Pirelli that they would never even be an option to consider, esp at such high prices.
  15. Yep. Apparently only Pirelli knows who was on which of the 6 compounds tested. They also controlled tire pressures, stint length and fuel loads each car.
  16. People are saying Hadjar to RB. And apparently there's South American press saying Colapinto to Alpine. Also, there's gossip that Colapinto & his management have started following the IndyCar & LeMans pages on s/m. Not sure there's much to that, but who knows. I was told it's F1 tho. And oh yeah, I forgot this bit earlier. I was told it is not Cadillac or Williams. ETA: I was told just now that it's either Alpine or RB.
  17. So, maybe Lawson to RBR?
  18. Just heard from my friend who knows F1 things .... Colapinto confirmation announcement incoming soon. That's all he said, and I didn't press for more. ETA: I think RB.
  19. Yep. I got back into it pre-election, and haven't stopped watching since. It's good again fer shure yeah youbtecha ...
  20. Welp. Thanks Trump. Mexico is our most frequent, favorite vacation destination. I was telling Mrs. Wood (no pics) the other day that we'd better start planning a trip there, because there's no telling how much longer we'll be welcome the way we always have been.
  21. No not brand new, but since it hadn't been mentioned in this thread that's dedicated to that particular game, I figured it could be of use here.
