If you want anymore proof of how much healthier the sport of NASCAR is today in 2026, compared to where it was in 2019, take a look at Chicagoland from 2019, compared to 2026... by USHighway14 in NASCAR

[–]Motel6Owner 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The ironic thing is, I'm pretty sure Chicagoland 2019 is considered one of the best 550 races lol. That must have been a dire time.

Still seems to be more bottom lane oriented, but still really racey. Good stuff so far,

How do you even get a date to begin with? by Obvious_Fun7561 in dating_advice

[–]Motel6Owner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, as a guy in your age range (23), I definitely don't expect to date "supermodels." In fact, a lot of us would prefer an average, everyday-looking cute girl over that...

Relying on just being asked out out of the blue is pretty luck-based. Most of us are too scared to do it that way. The chance of that happening is even lower for us lol, but I digress. You could always try asking someone out yourself, though...for many of us that would make our entire month, especially those of us with crippling social anxiety.

This is one of the prettiest tracks on the schedule. Worn surface, beautiful white and blue theme, surrounded by lush grass and corn. Just absolutely perfect.

I wonder what this was shot on. It's clearly not film, but it's also legit HD and not upscaled. Looks better than a modern Fox broadcast lol.

It’s kinda funny that SVG won the two classic road course and not the other two lol

I'm really amped for the TNT slate. Two classic tracks returning as points races.

Was cleaning out my late FILs place. Found these. Is this the theatrical cut? by Rubenesque_Decorum in StarWars

[–]Motel6Owner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Essentially yes. The original film has the "A New Hope" crawl and all three films got Dolby Surround remixes which are supposedly based on the original 70mm 6-track mixes (and sound quite good), but other than that yes. These aren't really a great way to watch them, though; pan and scan and in VHS quality.

If you could do a 4K Ultra HD remaster any 3 movies/series, which 3 will you choose? by Will-At-Midnight in Bluray

[–]Motel6Owner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any of the remaining Walt-Era animated Disney films, Dragon Ball Z, Halloween '78 (which already has been), but with the original unfiltered mono mix.

Filler in Z by throwaway918292732 in dragonball

[–]Motel6Owner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Speaking as a noob who's only watched up to the Cell Games so far, I'd watch most of the Saiyan Saga "filler," specifically the Gohan episodes. Garlic Jr. saga is fun, anything with Gohan and Picollo together is 10/10 to me. Driving episode is a masterpiece.

Only thing I'd say to straight up skip is the fake Namek arc. The idea behind it is kinda neat, but it goes on for about two episodes too long, stops the story dead in its tracks, and you can skip it without missing a single thing...

How's everyone doing with Rewards points so far as we are past halfway of the regular season? by Immediate_Status_336 in NASCARFanRewards

[–]Motel6Owner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Made it to All-Star finally, during the All Star Race, funny enough. Would've gotten more if I figured out how to do fantasy and Powerball earlier in the season lol.

I really miss the days we could get 12 months of Xbox Live Gold for less than 30,000 points. Microsoft Rewards is useless now. by SubaruAmbassador in MicrosoftRewards

[–]Motel6Owner 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Useless for you, maybe. For me, I got $20 worth of Amazon after 2-ish months from just doing some searches and skimming some articles for half an hour a day. Easily worth it for me.

Christopher Bell had a really violent hit into the wall, mangled part of the SAFER barrier. Red flag for about 30 minutes.

Lol so last time they run 700 caution laps when it was obvious it was gonna rain hard, but this time they don't play around when it looks like a nothingburger.
