My go to warning for all putting all your money in a single stock is GT Advanced Technologies. They took a huge loan from Apple with some really onerous terms. When Apple ended up not using their sapphire glass for the iPhone, the company imploded. There was a huge thread on a website (thecontrarianinvestor.com which…

Uhh, its going to be on Motortrend On Demand. I suspect they’ll use the Superview feed, they have a 14 day trial which will get you through the race today.

Yep, I felt the same way until Schuy’s first retirement.

Bulleit is a Diageo product, and as such, is kind of going against “I’ve tried to stick with smaller distilleries...” However, that WhistlePig came out of Alberta Distilling before they finished it, so its a question of how far you like to go on “small distilleries”.

Stay away from the Spirits Direct stuff at Total Wine, its, as a general rule, all awful.

Last trip my boarding pass wasn’t marked Pre, but I just used my Global Entry card as my ID when I got to the TSA agent checking IDs.

I passed through one of these in Texas pretty shortly after it opened.  Day light, but raining, it was tough to follow the lines to end up in the right place.  I’ve since been through it probably a dozen times, but it still isn’t “normal” to me yet.

I was going to point out that the Formula V8 World Series was an awesome way to hear those engines again (saw them at COTA during the ‘17 WEC race) but I hadn’t realized the series shut down at the end of last season.  I’m sad now.

Saw them at COTA earlier this year at the PWC weekend. Highly entertaining, if a bit sloppy racing. And there don’t appear to be any “track limits” enforced in that series at all...

Indycar fueling rigs are gravity fed, the F1 rigs were pressurized.

F1 Refueling: The fuel rig suppliers have not yet made a failure proof rig, and it puts mechanics in danger when it fails (which it inevitably does). I’m sure Mr Matchett would love to explain why refueling in F1 is bad (he’s been on fire).

Leena could not hide the disappointment in her voice when Lotterer got involved in the first lap dust up when it looked like it was all his fault.

Actually, I believe Bird was gone for about a week and half before they returned to Austin. The city council put some minimal rules in place and people seem to have been following them (other than the helmet thing). As a someone normally acts prematurely old, I’m unbothered by these things.

People don’t seem to understand how out in the middle of nowhere these places are. A number of years ago the exits for Ozona had a “Next gas 120 miles” info sign underneath it. I’ve spent the night in Van Horn once (at the Motel 6 across from the train tracks, my wife is no longer allowed to choose accommodations) and…

Perhaps they should do what others have done when faced with inability manage their own services, get MLBAM to do it (see also, ESPN3, NHL, HBO Now, etc).

That was an entire season’s worth of stupid in about 10 minutes.

So, I’m shorter than your husband but just about as wide (I wear a similar sized jacket, but I’m only 6'), and I had a lovely flight from MUC-EWR in Premium Economy on Lufthansa on an A350-900 last week. The best way I can describe it is that it would have been business class on a domestic flight. My seat mate and I…

There were subtitles when I was watching it last night.

Had to drive back from an event the better part of two hours away at 3:30a after having been awake all the previous day doing outdoorsy shit. Two Xenadrine (before they cut out the ephedra), Red Bull, and water got me back home without ending up in a ditch, but its the only time I’ve ever felt like my whole body was…
