Non-F1 PSA: Bathurst 1000 this weekend, + 5 support series. This schedule link converts times to our local time: https://www.supercars.com/events/2025-bathurst-1000/schedule Dunno if it's on tv here, but you can buy Superview for $10AUD for a month then cancel, decent deal for 6 hours of entertainment https://www.supercars.com/superview Really enjoyed the one time they raced here. Too bad we can't have nice things. Petite Le Mans this weekend too!

Formula 1 2025
84/74 is a 92 heat index. Houston's 89/59 at noon today (per Weather Underground) is a 95 heat index. At race time today in Austin, the heat index would be 94, climbing to 95 during the race. Small difference, but even if they were the same, I'd take the nighttime race there vs the daytime race here. I grew up in the Houston area & have spent a couple weeks in Thailand recently (pretty similar to Singapore), and there isn't too much between the two weather-wise. And re: the firesuit, I used to wear a much heavier, much less breathable, hotter one into fires in Austin, and I can tell you it was always much worse to wear in the daytime, even with slightly lower temps. Man, bunker gear soaks in the sunlight & radiant heat and holds body heat like nobody's business. It's insane.

Yeah that's kinda what I've been thinking. Another big difference here will be the sun baking down on them. 84 at night vs 92 in the daytime is only 8 degrees difference, but the sun beating on you makes it much worse.

Oh, and all this talk about the 'brutal' heat, lol. Pfft. Race start temp was 84 degrees with 74% humidity. Not optimal, but far from the bloodbath they make it out to be. It's been pretty fucking hot here lately. Hotter than usual. They better hope it cools off for the USGP.

Yeah it's like I told my kid, McLaren is basically inviting Max back into the WDC race by doing it the way they're doing it. It's like they want to yet again win the WCC while losing the WDC.

Yep. And Alonso made 3 straight passes for points positions that they never showed replays of or even mentioned until several laps later. Crazy. Woulda probably been pretty wild to actually see Alonso catching Lewis at the end there, too. My kid & I were watching the gap drop like crazy & he didn't believe me when I said it was gonna be close.

The Democratic Party
LOL, wow. This is the couple nextdoor, or at least the guy, to a tee. Really wild in college and afterward, lots of drugs and partying, etc. Now he's Mr. Christian Low-key MAGA. She's not so much, but she won't say anything against him unless she goes out with my wife & her friends & they get her drinking.

The Democratic Party
Oh, boy. Here we go. What a dumbass. Posted this here because apparently (or afaik) the party is still backing him, and the Rs & Turnip are making as much political hay of that as they can.

Fuck you, Helobious.
Yep, & that reputation isn't just based on a few HS football playoff games a few years ago. It's his entire, disastrously bad, ongoing body of work, which is fucking huge.
-
Fuck you, Helobious.
Nah. Fuck him. And he probably predicted they'd WIN 10-1. Now he'll quit on his team & turn on 'em again like he did before.
-
Fuck you, Helobious.
I mean ... I didn't see that when Helodamus posted it, but if I HAD seen it, I'd have known right then and there that we were completely and utterly fucked. I probably wouldn't have even bothered to watch the game. I've never seen anyone make so many predictions & have so many takes, so confidently, and be so horribly wrong so often as Helobious. Seriously, fuck that guy.

Yeah, clearly they're being told to get those shots, but it's a little creepy how often they do it and how long they stay with the shots.

Yep. And that's fine. Few can do it. I don't understand why he won't give it up. It's just idiotic.
