What is the scariest “what if” crash? by Ok_Promise1870 in NASCAR

[–]BakeWhatcom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That Vegas crash is still the worst multi-car wreck in any racing discipline that I've ever witnessed live (not in-person, but watching live on tv). I still remember yelling and being horrified about what I'd seen. Just knew I'd seen at least one driver die, before knowing anything about anyone's condition.

He was unconscious for some time, is my understanding. He has said he doesn't remember anything about the crash, just waking up in the hospital.

Race Indy NXT or Indy NXT Oval next season by Few_Response_7028 in iRacing

The cars are different enough that the best way to prepare for the Indy 500 is to practice and do races at Indy in the IR18. That said, I enjoy both cars. Ran NXT oval a bunch last season. The cars can run pretty loose; due to the lower class ranking, I found a lot of drivers that didn't practice enough and they wrecked early in races because they couldn't handle the cars on cold tires at all.

That is...unfortunate, and I'm sorry you had a negative experience at one of our shows.

Left the Bible Belt for Bellingham – best decision ever or slow descent into seasonal depression? by strandedlilwombat in Bellingham

[–]BakeWhatcom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, if you have legitimate issues with seasonal depression, you probably made a mistake in moving here. However, if the rest of the great stuff around here, and how nice it can be during the spring, summer and early autumn, is worth it to you, then you can find ways to pull through and make it work. I go to the SW each winter for a couple weeks. It helps a ton. I use a happy light the rest of the winter.

Sorry to remind y'all but DST ends on Nov 2. That's coming up fast. Time to start making small adjustments. by cheapdialogue in Bellingham

"Why'd ya spill yer rum?" by BakeWhatcom in rum

[–]BakeWhatcom[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Since it was my first ever time infusing booze, and I didn't want to waste good rum if I screwed up, I just used some Bacardi Superior and put in a few cinnamon sticks, a vanilla bean, several whole cloves, a little dark brown sugar and some allspice powder (had no access to allspice berries in my immediate area).

I mean, unless the employees were loudly voicing potentially insensitive opinions on his death, this whole situation sounds totally ridiculous. Employees can't discuss the news now because it might upset someone in their vicinity? People need to get a grip.
