This is the kind of history lesson that makes Gawker great; haven’t seen a piece this good in months I don’t think.

I miss the first proposed 7, 8, 9, turn complex before the long oval section. It added some skill needed and set up a nice passing under braking zone.
Seems NASCAR is set to turn this into as much of a F1 parade lap thing as possible.

I test drove one just 2 weeks back. The engine’s fine 250Hp 295 Lb/ft The sweet spot is 2K-4K RPM so it’s perfect for non-highway roads, but the transmission is a shitshow and without a sport mode it dampens the experience so much that it is a turn off, and don’t even bother shifting with the paddles. I am surprised…

That Waluigi tweet is awesome.

Ok, so, developers and producers, take note. This is how you maintain a game.

I always liked NMS, I never bought into the hype, and it was what it was. Played it with my wife, too. I take breaks in between, but with this update, I will be jumping headlong into it with her again. We love co-op games.

My favorite so far:

Credit to Van for responding, in the moment and in the face a huge celebrity and icon and not backing down and still delivering some really real shit to Kanye’s face.

It seems like this is 100% about context. In American Sign Language, that’s the sign for the number 9, or a slightly modified F depending on how you wanted to look at it.

Isn’t that the symbol you make in middle school that, if you get someone to look at, you punch them in the arm?

I think that’s why Nailed It! really clicked with me. There was plenty of awkwardness, but none of the hosts had that rage. Even when one of the contestants gave them raw batter and I think another just... forgot eggs entirely.

Update: repeat-checking behavior of first time parents has been restored. Parents that have previously raised a toddler to teenager will leave subsequent toddlers in the care of the dog to try and woohoo but probably just wind up napping on the couch.

If we’re supposed to ever get the masses into EVs, putting chargers at Walmart is a good step in that direction.

Athough Slowpokes do not provide the satisfaction of a good hunt due to their lethargic pace, their meat is delicious when properly cooked. They can be easily harvested and must be cured, similar to pork, before serving. Their pelts are soft but change color after tanning, and it is difficult to maintain the pink…

“What do they call a Whopper?”

Hot damn! They should’ve kept the turn 7-9 switchback sequence though

Is this real life? Like seriously, if they raced here or Laguna Seca, I would actually watch that instead of football

This is just the worst! And I feel like The Root is the only one writing about it. Those poor children.

Raleigh instead of Charlotte?
