  1. Lando P3 worked out well for Red Bull. I don't think he will be wanting to dive in to inadvertently take out either Max or LH at the start. Expect to see Perez on the softs to pass him pretty early on and hassle LH while Max tries to build a lead and salvage having to start on the soft tires. Bottas will be a non factor as he prepares for his Alfa Romeo future next year.
  2. Slipstreaming behind the car in front of you to reduce aerodynamic resistance and achieve a higher top speed. Here is Horner discussing Max's lap today: Team Principal Christian Horner provided further insight into how Red Bull used the tow to match Mercedes on the straights and out-qualify them. “We discussed the slipstream this morning,” he said. “We lowered the downforce, it was the only way to match [Mercedes] on the straights. Q2 came more towards us, and then both runs in Q3 were exceptional. That tow, Checo working with his team mate; absolutely perfect teamwork today. I think that's one of Max's best laps of the year,” he said.
  3. Only 0.4 seconds faster with softs and a huge tow from Perez. I think Mercedes is in a pretty nice spot for tomorrow. Whatever "aero" they figured out has been pretty magical for the back half of the season.

  5. Dressy and a steel bracelet does not compute for me personally, but IWC does offer the Portugieser line with a bracelet.
  6. If he doesn’t need a chrono function, this would be my choice.
  7. IWC. It would be well under budget.
  8. I eventually had enough and decided to go teach my teenage son how to drive in the snow and ice on the mountain roads. It was a surprisingly less painful experience. Jeopardy, Wheel of Fortune and Blue Bloods on TV also provides me some quiet as he is fully engaged with those.
  9. Biden’s foreign policy in the Middle East was the topic of conversation during the Macy’s parade this morning. Something about the liberals being responsible for the recent robberies in San Francisco. Currently complaining about electric cars and how we can’t cut down trees anymore while watching the Cowboys. FIL has been on a roll today. Can I trade places with anyone of you who has a meth addict visiting? At least that would be entertaining. Just 2 more days.
  10. It looks like the back of the neck is trash. While, I do agree that you will get more guitar for your money used, when I was getting my 1st guitar I had no clue how to spot problem issues with a used guitar. I went new because I felt more comfortable that things would be right or could be addressed under warranty if necessary. If you are not committed to Les Paul, the Strat that Napoleon posted is a great deal on a really good guitar. Spend a few bucks on a setup and you should be good for a long while. Spend your extra funds on a good modeling amp, cable, strap etc. Of the Epiphone's I agree that this one is probably the best bang for the buck that you have listed. If you email Sweetwater, they should be a willing to do a bit better on the price than the website MSRP. This one also comes with a case. As you start dropping down the Epiphone or Fender line, the case disappears and you will end up having to add that in to your purchase as well. https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/ENL59ADCNH--epiphone-1959-les-paul-standard-outfit-aged-dark-cherry-burst
  11. The guitarists were nestled all snug in their beds, While visions of Surlycasters danced in their heads.
  12. In-laws are already in town for Thanksgiving. Both have always been fundamental Baptist/Republican types. They have, until recently, had the common courtesy to keep politics out of polite conversation. MIL still follows this approach, but the FIL has now decided its perfectly fine to interject politics into any conversation. My son was discussing his Statistics class with everyone and FIL starts quoting "false" CDC statistics about COVID and how easily you can manipulate stats . These people were hunkered down in their house for well over a year and a half afraid to leave to do anything since the pandemic began. They have only now started to venture out after getting their booster and seeing the numbers of COVID cases drop off. I was perfectly happy that they were being safe and got vaccinated early on, but I was sitting there listening to him with flashes of Kanye and Taylor Swift at the VMA's in my brain. "Dad, I'm gonna let you finish, but......." They are in their 80's and the FIL thankfully survived a pancreatic cancer diagnosis on Christmas eve 2 years ago. We are honestly grateful he is even alive to be with us right now, but damn if my grill didn't have temperature issues last night so I had to stay out there and watch it like a hawk to make sure I didn't burn the food while he discussed errors in statistical data sets.
  13. Any major concerns about staking ETH on Coinbase if I am not planning to sell any time soon?
  14. We have family from the Midwest. Heathens. All of them.
  15. As long as there is no cheddar cheese on top, apple pie will always be welcome in my house.
  16. Orbita is my personal choice. You can score a better price on their closeout page. https://www.orbita.com/tag/winder-closeout/
  17. On lap one? No. Maybe later. If I’m Bottas, my helmet audio may be on the fritz then.
  18. I would imagine that if he is ordered to let Lewis take the lead, Max and Checo may "inadvertently" slip past him as well. Toto has some plan in place to screw Bottas in the pit if necessary.
  19. I agree with Chewbacca. Although, if you are running a smoker in the garage, perhaps you have built up an immunity to contained noxious fumes. Keep this list handy and seek medical care before you get to the last symptom. Signs and symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning may include: Dull headache Weakness Dizziness Nausea or vomiting Shortness of breath Confusion Blurred vision Loss of consciousness
  20. I'll be inside this sound hole like this.
  21. Mono. I think the Les Paul guys say the M80 may have a bit more headstock clearance than the Vertigo. I have a Vertigo sitting around here somewhere if you want to git it a spin and see if it will work. Both support the neck up and away pretty good though.
  22. Deej, that sucks. Consider talking to your doctor about an occupational therapist consult. They can possibly set up a physical therapy plan tailored to help with accessory muscle strength and flexibility to keep those fingers out of the way. Maybe they could design a custom splint or brace that would hold those fingers up and out of the way for you while you play.
  23. Every part about this is awesome! Lego attention to detail is fantastic. https://www.lego.com/en-us/product/lego-ideas-fender-stratocaster-21329?ef_id=CjwKCAjwh5qLBhALEiwAioodszrWF_TnlnItlper1ndK5OMzGunG5uMDSM0T_bLQRzt7C7DqwF8NKRoCvM0QAvD_BwE%3AG%3As&s_kwcid=AL!790!3!529200390672!!!u!381483412454!&cmp=KAC-INI-GOOGUS-GO-US-EN-RE-SP-BUY-CREATE-PLA-SHOP-BP-SP-RN-SMART_SHOPPING
  24. I remain in. PM sent. I will fire up the bedazzler and see if I can get the Nudie suit going......
