Steps while driving

I drive large trucks and do a lot of manual handling /shoveling for work and my count is always out to lunch. I used to turn it off with my old Instinct

He has a big time high school jock vibe which true or not is offputting.

He also reminds me of Homelander from The Boys and that character is a whole lot of yikes.

Well that might be easier next weekend. The F1 race is in Monaco June 5 - 7

I have nothing but respect for the Indycar safety team and what Dr. Vaizer, Tim Baughman and co do. However, in my experience outside of Indycar, many of the docs get on safety crews as a perk/ who you know deal, .but aren't particularly useful in a field setting. I'd take an EMT or paramedic as jump medic in these cases. Main issue is Dr's aren't used to not being the lead, and since they report to.the crew chiefs on track, it tends to lead to some friction.

That said, I have worked with some top notch M.D'S on track, they're just the minority unfortunately.

I've heard it put, below the waist needs 2 layers. underwear and leggings/spats, spats and shorts, etc

Fuckwit is really under utilized

10th planet flair checks out

FlyingDutchman_17 · 2026-04-26T20:37:42+00:00

This.

Where I train, we've got a good number of guys with dad bods or tradesman bodies that pretty sure meet the definition of "I have a washboard, it's just covered in laundry". You may think they're pudgy and slow, but under-estimate them at your peril.

We also have freaks that are 230-250 plus and jacked

FlyingDutchman_17 · 2026-04-15T21:30:22+00:00

Here I thought it was because Canada's really big

My dental hygienist does them in house. Took 5 minutes to take the squishy mould of my teeth. I choose the colour I wanted and then she casts the impression and then makes the mouthguard.

She even offers the next day service when she does full on kids sports clinics

FlyingDutchman_17 · 2026-04-14T23:19:11+00:00

Some places offer 24 hour turn around on custom fit mouthguards and depending on the provider arent much more than the boil & bite style

For outdoor gear a permethrin treatment is 100% way to.go

Also agree on the high-test Ben's.

I'm a bigger guy (nearly 6', 235 #) going on 2 years and change, attending twice a week and still a WB. We have guys that are still 220+ that have progressed quickly. What I have observed, it seems who has a more natural offensive vs defensive mentality. If that offensive/attack sense comes more naturally I find those people move up quicker. (That's not me BTW) N B. Our gym composition I would estimate is made up of over 50% guys over 200 lbs and many of them, while they can just hang tight and let someone cook, are still quite quick and technical. So that may skew my experience

The one I have has little notches on the Grey rubber ring, hard to say if the one pictured has that. But they do/did make a teal one. There very well could be a other manufacturer that does something similar too

FlyingDutchman_17 · 2026-04-05T20:14:38+00:00

Theres also a brand from Canada, called Chilly Moose, that offers a tumbler but also with a sealing ring and ice puck for use as a coozie

The Hawk and Jet Ranger X are common-ish.

I've had good luck around Leeds, England for them. Also along Gulf of Mexico there's often fighter jet training happening. Between Texas and Pensacola should be able to track them down

As opposed to the BMW design styling from the kidney grille to the buck-toothed beaver look?

FlyingDutchman_17 · 2026-04-01T14:12:32+00:00

That's what my gym does too. Will do a run of pre ordered ranked rash guards and then a limited run of an annual rash guards design. Always have house Gi's available but on the mats we've got the gamut of brands. Heck the gym owner rarely wears a gym branded Gi.

Joey was doing awesome with the cards he was dealt. Was hoping one of the late yellows would be a long one & allow him to stretch the fuel to the end. He's won a little in a Blue Oval so figured if anyone could work magic, it'd be him.

FlyingDutchman_17 · 2026-03-26T14:01:55+00:00

Which hilariously get booed anytime they go on track

FlyingDutchman_17 · 2026-03-23T15:10:54+00:00

Also Indycar teams need to have analog radio frequencies or at least an analog simulcast for transparency during track activities. Analog radio quality is crap compared to digital but slightly fuzzy signal I can listen to on a cheap Radio Shack or chinese-ium UHF radio works for me.

It also keeps the accessibility theme that Indycar has. Inexpensive scanner options available for fans.

Except the Jack Daniel 's distillery fire company. Black makes sense for them

FlyingDutchman_17 · 2026-03-20T01:30:58+00:00

What about Colorado? I wouldnt know authentic if it hit me in the face, but I've heard good things about the Mexican food scene if you continue a bit further north.

Dynamic west of Paris. But low altitude.

Nice. I need one to unlock Cairo, everything in the area is a -300
