    Yep. It's a car race. They're good, or at least Eminem is, but this isn't the blockbuster lineup he was trying to pump it up as.

    Yeah that was basically just a PR stunt. It would make no sense to sell your ticket back to them for $50 more than you paid if its value is about to 'skyrocket'. And I love Eminem, but this is the 'huuuuuge' lineup Epstein was talking about? I remember seeing Sting at his best with the Police, 41 years ago at Southpark Meadows when I was a freshman at UT. Good times, but 41 years is a long time.

    Bottas vs Perez vs Hulk seems like mediocre vs mediocre vs mediocre to me. Not much between 'em imho. Good drivers all, imho. Nothing great. Not bad either.

    He'd feel right at home in that Merc then.

    At this point they're practically the same guy imho, except one's German.

    This reminds me of something funny. Apparently Stoffel Vandoorne said recently that he could match Fernando Alonso in one-lap pace. I guess he's forgetting that time when he was Fernando's F1 teammate and got epically destroyed by a historic margin in Qualifying. 37-3, iirc. I guess he's technically correct, in that he could match Alonso once in every twelve thirteen attempts.

    To the surprise of nobody.

    I'm not surprised. I see crazier shit on the road pretty much every time I drive anywhere.

    nsiap ... Imagine paying a huge premium for a go-anywhere SUV supposedly capable of driving on Mars ... that can't survive a trip through a car wash. Imagine the electrical components of a car built by pretty much any other company in the last 50 years not being able to handle a trip through a car wash. Tesla simply is not a real car company. Tesla Cybertruck turns into world's most expensive brick after car wash https://www.theregister.com/2024/04/20/cybertruck_car_wash_mode/ Tesla Cybertruck Owners Complain Of Vehicle Not Working After Car Wash: The vehicle was called a "tin can," a "lemon," and a "paperweight" by internet users, who also made fun of the fact that although it seems bulletproof, it is not waterproof. https://www.ndtv.com/world-news/tesla-cybertruck-owners-complain-of-vehicle-not-working-after-car-wash-5505843

    Welp ... this right here. What I'm sayin'. It's simply mind-blowing how hard it seems to be for some to grasp this mind-numbingly simple concept.

    nsiap ... Looks like Abbott is taking some heat from both sides of the aisle. Good to see. Texas Gov. Abbott faces backlash after mass arrest at UT Austin pro-Palestine protest https://thehill.com/homenews/state-watch/4620838-texas-governor-abbott-backlash-mass-arrest-ut-austin-pro-palestine-protest/

    Yep. That's what I'm thinking. Just because he might be leaving the team doesn't mean he's going to another team. But who knows?

    According to Roberto Chinchero, Stroll is offering Newey 100m euro over 4 seasons at Aston Martin https://it.motorsport.com/f1/news/f1-newey-lascia-red-bull/10603193/ If he's actually leaving the team and I had to bet on what he's going to do, I'd put my money on retirement, but 100m Euro is a big whip..

    Newey out of RBR? Headed to Ferrari? Aston Martin? Merc? A fishing boat with Ross? https://www.auto-motor-und-sport.de/formel-1/f1-adrian-newey-red-bull-abgang-ferrari/

    Yep. I was at UT in the mid-late 80s when the KKK marched down the drag chanting their racist shit. We were told it was their right, and of course, it was. So we just watched for a couple of minutes while we waited to cross, then ignored their shit and went on about our binness. I've always told my kids that so much of the freedom so many take for granted is incredibly fragile, and here is a great example. It doesn't matter if the protesters or anyone else there is 'right' or 'wrong'. They were protesting peacefully. About as peaceful a protest as I've ever seen with that many people. So sad. I can't believe how far we've fallen in so short a time. /csb

    Abbott? Needlessly escalating shit for personal gain? Shocking.

    Este. Heading back in July. Been a while. Can't wait. Got some good news re: the beach. Back in January 2023 I posted the photo below. Then the webcam was down for like a year. Webcam's back now, and so is the beach. Made my day. So we got that goin' for us ... which is nice. Looks like you were at Oscar's. Good people there.

    You could hide 'em in the kid's camera bag to get through customs, the way my dipshit dumbass ex-BIL hid pot on my wife's sister's kid (no pics) a few years ago without telling anyone. Told everyone after we got to Cozumel. He thought it was cool and no big deal. I though the kid's dad was gonna break other BIL's neck right fucking there. I know I woulda if it had been my kid.

    You'd think if she wanted the job so bad, she'd at least proofread her cover letter before submitting it.

    That's 'cause after they buy it they realize stainless steel looks like shit on cars.

    The wrap guys must love Cybertruck owners. They all look the same, so most of the owners will want a wrap. They'll pay a lot for it, and it's the easiest wrap job ever.
