The underlying challenge for IndyCar is that it is running out of places it is willing and able to run at. There are only three ovals on the current schedule; Indy is Indy, Worldwide Technology Raceway (Gateway) is meh, and Texas sucks now because the Firestones don’t work with PJ1. There are other options that could…

Depends on the team. The bigger the team, the more employees and the more potential savings. If you’re a smaller team, you’re probably already buying cars and engines from someone else, so this ultimately that big of a change. You’re probably talking a few hundred people, but that is a few hundred people who are…

You can update your CV all you want, you can’t get around the fact that one of the purposes of this new car design is to reduce head count at the teams. 

Same here. For the first few years, our school system didn’t want the kids to learn rote, or the standard algorithm for that matter. Until they did. Now our sixth grader is working with flash cards and about to start with a tutor so that we can get her back up to speed.

Not for nothing, but this next generation car is going to greatly reduce overhead for the teams, which is a nice way of saying that it is going to result in the loss of a lot of good paying fabricator, welder, and other jobs that are currently in the fab shops at these teams. I don’t know if any of this information is…

Glad someone else caught that.

I am all for nuclear power.

Except for the little detail of the Ogallala Aquifer, which lies under the state and much of the region to the south, and provides water to the region. Polluting that is a bit more problematic than polluting a sparsely populated state.

There are no free lunches. Energy generation is always going to cause pollution in some form or another. Yes, even wind and even solar. You have to pollute to manufacture the things that aren’t supposed to pollute, and you pollute when you get rid of those things at the end of their lifecycle.

I will not stand for this entire list, or QOTD clickbait nonsense.

I found myself watching Kid Rock’s performance of Bawitdaba from Woodstock ‘99 recently, and my initial response after listening to and watching the thing in its entirety was that these people are who became Trumpers. I mean we all know Bob Richie there became a celebrity confidant of the ex-President, but the band,…

Marsha Marsha Marsha...

“I’m like a seahorse out here” isn’t an explanation, it’s an analogy.

Funny this comes up now. I was watching something recently that featured an old Dart with dog dish hubcaps that featured this logo predominantly, and I wondered if whatever organization owned Dodge now had plans to use this thing. Never knew the name of it.

My brother’s friend had a late 50s base model Rambler and it had the same numbering scheme on the speedometer. Supposedly the higher trim level got the zeros, but I never bothered to look into it.

90s? These things were originally introduced in the early 60s, and they weren’t really improved by the time they stopped production 30 or so years later as much as the parts bins that they picking components from changed over the decades.

Since I don’t need the entirety of both floors, nor all the cargo space underneath, I’m sure I could solve this problem with the proper application of way too much money.

This article is a classic example of correlation not necessarily equaling causation. Sales are down and prices are up because inventories are tight, not because prices are up independent of an inventory shortage. If there was inventory to move, prices would come down and sales would go back up.

London City bus? No thanks. I’m holding out for a Van Hool T925 double-decker, known by the kids as the MEGABUS. Something that could run comfortably at highway speeds.

And you’re missing the part where the job in question was contractually Nichols, and ESPN violated that contract by giving it to Taylor, whose contract is up soon.
