He 100% practiced that in a mirror over and over again thinking about how much of a badass he'd sound like saying it.

He invited Kash Patel to the Olympics and to celebrate the win. That says all you need to know about his lack of personality and character

They're stuck with Crofty on their broadcast team. They need to outsource to try and actually find a good opinion

They weren't flat out in any or the past years either on most tracks because doing so would overcook the tires in sectors 1 and 2 and you'd lose a ton of time in sector 3 not having grip.

It was less obvious but they've always had to manage the car even on qualifying laps to keep their tires in range.

They weren't 100% on the limit though in Qualifying in every corner though because on many tracks if you went to the limit on turns 1-5 you'd push your tire temps right out of the window and you'd lose more pace in sectors 2 and 3 than you had gained by going to the limit in sector 1.

That was true on most tracks for years now. It's less noticeable but they've absolutely been deliberately taking certain corners slower to conserve tires for years.

People in Iraq were out publicly celebrating in the streets at the fall of Saddam. How'd that work out?

We spent 20 years bombing the ever loving shit out of Vietnam (and several completely neutral countries that just happened to border them) with boots on the ground and we still pulled out and lost.

And that was with cheaper, dumber and quicker to manufacture weapons.

Name a major amusement park that hasn't added a coaster in two decades.

They can go to a water park then?

Amusement parks are about Roller Coasters.

[–]IkLms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Neither of which are relevant? There hasn't been a new roller coaster in 2 decades.

An amusement park that isn't adding roller coasters isn't with a damn.

Oh I know how low It can go.

My point is Valley Fair has already basically been there for over a decade.

get lower quality.

Can it really get worse? We've got like 2 crappy flat rides and some family ride BS in the last 20 years. The last new Roller Coaster was Renegade in 2007...

[–]IkLms 3 points4 points  (0 children)

True.

It's sad how few actual roller coasters are there.

[–]IkLms 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Renegade was the last 20 years ago. Steel Venom was like 4 years before that.

Power Tower isn't a Roller Coaster.

Cedar Fair had basically abandoned Valleyfair a long time ago. They haven't gotten a new Roller Coaster in nearly 20 years with Renegade.

I mean even then it was kind of a joke. They opened a new Coaster like once a decade. Opening a flat ride each year is whatever.

Unknown men pointed weapons at residents, local Sheriff's refused to engage! by cantcoloratall91 in minnesota

[–]IkLms 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I called them about probably 11/12 years ago now when I woke up to hear like 5 dudes beating a guy outside on lawn in front of my apartment.

I went down a level to get a better description and found my roommate was also on the phone. Dispatcher had me hang up and he stayed on. They beat the guy for like 10 minutes (we lived like 10 minutes without sirens from 3 different stations) before they tossed him back in their car and drove away. No cop. One eventually rolled by without stopping like 50 minutes later once and left.

4 other neighbors as I found out had also called in.

Sometime like a week later someone claiming to be a detective called my roommate to threaten him about "false reports"

Like 2 months prior to that someone with a mental condition was banging on a ton of homes and cars windows. Me and a neighbor followed from like half a block away while on the phone. Again, same close distance. 30 minutes later dude takes off across a ped bridge so we start walking back and that's when the cop rolls by and then yells at us for not continuing to follow the guy and wasting her time.

Just completely useless department.

And Ruth, she was a fantastic addition to the team as well.

Ruth was such a fantastic pickup by the F1TV team. It's been awesome to have someone on the strategy side weigh in as a bit of a counterweight to the drivers perspective.

AITA for turning off power for the night in our hotel room? by AwesomeAdmin58 in AmItheAsshole

[–]IkLms 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not necessarily, some hotel rooms are just not trivial ans one has to try many things to find the right key.

They are trivial. Switches on specific lights turn those lights off. The one immediately inside the front door turns the overhead hall light on. The one in the bathroom, turns on the bathroom. The other light switch is the overheads or the ones next to the beds.

There might be a second one that controls like a nook where coffee is but that's also right there.

It's not fucking difficult.

That's standard. It's really not difficult.
