I mean, a large percentage of Illinois that isn’t Chicago is covered in farmland.  I don’t think you’d have to drive very far out of the town to get to some corn/soybean fields.

I’m in my mid-30s and I don’t think I have ever once paid money for a landline, and I haven’t had cable since I lived in a dorm room. I spend more now on streaming than I ever have on TV services. They just kept growing slowly enough that I didn’t notice until I suddenly had four different streaming services and still…

The thing is, we never saw Saul in Breaking Bad when he wasn’t a character in someone else’s story and serving a purpose in the specific plot of that specific show. I’m sure Gilligan and Gould have an interesting fate in mind for Kim, and she won’t end up just moving across town, but I can’t think of any reason why…

That wouldn’t be a very dramatically satisfying end to a five-year subplot involving increasing moral ambiguity and immersion in criminal enterprises, though, to be entirely fair.

If they kill Kim i’m gonna.....um....well, I’ll whine about it on the internet.

It uses a new Garlic Aioli, which is pretty damn good. It’s pretty strong, but I just use a light drizzle. It basically gets more garlicky the more you use, so you can adjust it how you like.

Yeah, I caught Rollberball on TCM and expected just a bad sports movie with sci-fi flavoring, but that movie was just weird and I was there for it. I particularly like how Caan’s character never became some big revolutionary or a closet intellectual or something...he was basically a jock who was sick of being pushed…

sounds great!

If anyone questions her acting chops, she can point to this scene and say, “I let Ryan Philippe intimidate me without bursting out laughing.”

I road Amtrak only once. The train wasn’t 2 years late. It only felt that way.

They were Goodyear G399a LHS tires according to a closeup picture, which are long haul semi truck tires and not rated for 300mph...

Class 8 truck tires aren’t rated for 300 MPH, anyone consider this an issue?

Where would you even source truck tires that large that are good for 300mph? I know the larger diameter makes them rotate slower but still, the forces on outside edge of those huge donuts must be enormous.

Yes, Armco barriers are really a thing. You know the steel guard rail on posts on the highway? That’s an Armco barrier. On a track they’re usually stacked to make a more significant barrier, though it’s a somewhat dated one that doesn’t usually appear on FIA Grade 1 tracks because there are better options.

He would have been unable to wear a helmet or a HANS device, which are both required for nearly every professional racing series.

Who wore it better?

I don’t watch any of the lower Formula series so I can’t really comment on those, but I’d argue at least four F1 drivers owe not having been seriously injured or killed to the halo:

Ah yes...Ruprecht the Monkey Boy. You know, everything Steve Martin does is genius. Everything.

“Here’s the big social paradigm shift that has to happen: It’s also okay to just sit there and pee!”

No, it’s a stealth endorsement for BitTorrent, because that’s just how innovative he is.
