I’m shocked that Spa had its record broken this year. A lot of the shorter, technical tracks had their lap records smashed, but the longer tracks are still where pure power will make the most difference. I doubt we’ll ever see Monza’s record broken.

Have you ever been on a friend’s boat when they start talking to their Boat Friends™? You feel like a third wheel between two people that are about to fuck.

I came here 100% ready to declare horse people the worst, but when you really think about it it’s a goddamn tough call.

as god intended

Cream of wheat is for sugar, grits is supposed to be savory.

It took a long time for iOS to be robust enough to justify a $1000 asking price for an iPad. I don’t think Chrome OS is there yet no matter how great the hardware might be.

From what I’ve seen and heard I think I would enjoy his show. It made the main ESPN channels right as my local radio stations dropped their ESPN affiliations so I never got a chance to listen to it regularly.

I was actually thinking the same thing. The SVP + Russillo combo from 2009-2014ish was perfect in its wit and irreverence. I think she could pair well with him and I might actually be interested in tuning into sports radio again.

I’d actually get a kick out of seeing her berate and mute people as host on Around the Horn.

If all you’re carrying is an X70, any bag can be photo-friendly.

I’m not 100% certain it was Matchett, I’d have to go back and listen. But in one of the past few races they had Bob back on to commentate and Bob and (presumably) Steve were theorizing about an on-track incident that happened before the world feed showed the replay. Basically Steve kept intimating that Bob didn’t…

Yeah, David Hobbs is certainly getting up there in age. I would be happy with them keeping Will Buxton and Steve Matchett, but I get the impression from their interaction that Matchett and Bob Varsha kind of hate each other so it would be awkward bringing both of them on board.

If they don’t keep Steve Matchett, David Hobbs, Leigh Diffey, and Will Buxton I’ll be very sad.

What would be the theoretical lifespan of a black box at the bottom of the ocean? Let’s say someone miraculously finds it a decade from now, would the data inside be retrievable?

Shameless plug, but my partner and his team made all of these graphics. Between Harvey, Irma, Maria, and the Mexican earthquakes their team has been working 60+ hour weeks for almost the last month. This is why it’s critical for NASA to continue to support Earth science. Space travel is great, but we do still have to…

This is great coverage of something we rarely hear about, thanks Dvora.

White person question: do black and milds taste as good as they smell? They smell fucking amazing (as does regular pipe tobacco, i guess).

McCann must be seething at this glory boy

Instead of full outfits, I pack shirts and underwear 2:1 or 3:1 for every pair of pants. A clean shirt and underwear is all you really need to feel like you’re not wearing dirty clothes. Pants take up 2-3 times the space of a shirt.
