Miami person here - minimum 6 hours to get out of the state just going up 95 to Georgia. 12ish to get to Alabama if you go up to I10 and head west. Not to argue Florida is a more boring drive (though the stretch on I10 heading E-W across the north end of the state is pretty fucking bare), just that I have even longer…

As someone who writes all fucking day, sometimes even reading it you miss that stuff. You wrote it and in your mind can just skip over those things sometimes. My complaint would be with the editor. I miss shit in my writing that partners catch, but partners ask me to review their writing and I catch mistakes in…

I feel like they used to post shit together all the time, but in the last year or so, Mero does his thing in NJ and Desus does his thing all over. Felt like they just kind of outgrew the friendship (but maybe it was something like money or creative control, curious if we’ll ever know). Whatever makes them happy…

Soooo many times.

Who knows whether we will hear it, but the question right now isn’t whether it is possible, it is whether they are really doing everything they can to find out if it is possible. They have a lot of money to spend on trying to make this right. Are they? I dont know, but that would be good information to have. Hard to…

I dont know if they fit better with the other company, but I know I tend to prefer the styling of Kias over Hyundais, but I prefer the Ioniq stlying over the EV6. I do think the Ioniq body panels look more inline with Hyundais, even though I dont really like that styling on the rest of Hyundai line.

I would have said longer than 5 years (lifelong Miami resident)

I mean, I agree it shouldn’t be tax dollars, it should be Brightline doing it since they decided to build their network without following the suggestions for safe operation.

While I didnt grow up missing as much as you did, as someone who grew up in Miami and lucked into going to a school with a bunch of rich kids (when I wasn’t) this city can absolutely do that to you.

I mean you just described Miami in general (said as a native Miamian). So you’re saying they knocked it out of the park?

I want to know if you can walk the upper concourse of the stadium on a GA ticket. I have season tickets for the Hurricanes and all of last season I was watching the track get built and unless the grandstands (which weren’t at the time) are in the way, there should be some decent sight lines from the upper concourse…

I will say, not all of us “chose” to live in Miami, unless you mean choose to stay. There are a few of us left that were actually born here.

I’ll defer to your expertise in the field of economic impact, but as someone who lives in Miami and sees what tourists do, it would seem like 1. while the race itself may not have the cache of Indy or Daytona, having the cache of F1 associated with a touristy city like Miami I would think you accomplish the same…

I want to hear if people are going to complain of the smell of sewage in the paddocks since they failed to obtain a permit to build the paddock where they did since the city wouldn’t give them one because it is right above a critical access point for the sewer line.

Good to know.

You think tickets in Austin were bad? There is no general admission for Miami (at least they haven’t announced it yet). The prices I am seeing are $2,000+ for 3-day pass and still over $1,500 for just Sunday.

I know this is not the point of the story, but I can’t help but ask:

Does this mean everyone has to stay 8 feet from a cop during an encounter, or just people recording? Is the cop not scared to arrest someone with non-recording people around, but as soon as the camera comes out that person is a threat? I want those politicians to explain the distinction to me.

Know nothing about either of these people as I don’t live in Illinois, but generally, don’t you want your politician beholden to their political base? I get criticizing being beholden to his cronies, but does he mean something different when he says political base? Is that not just voters? Isn’t the goal to do what…

We’ve picked up a lot of wealthy NYers who were probably voting red (for whatever that was worth in NY) and may help counter some of the dying Rs here.
