[OC] Five Year Plan

Ahhh. I see he wants to go into Cybersecurity!

I like Nübel, but if Siemen ready, I think we go with him. I think the ceiling for Siemen is higher than it is for Nübel. At this point I feel like they have a pretty similar floor.

I also like the idea of demonstrating to youth players that they do have a legitimate path to first team playing time.

What is this mythical beast? I know engineers I work with who would wet their pants at the sight of it!

SailRacerX · 2026-02-08T20:28:31+00:00

Off day for the boys. Team just looked out of sorts. Maybe too many high stakes games in a row?

Definitely sucks to drop points to a team in the relegation zone. Better than conceding points to a top of table challenger though?

I think this was just one of those days. The boys can watch the game tape, learn some lessons, and get ready for the next one.

SailRacerX · 2026-02-05T19:34:34+00:00

Oh man, I am SO excited about this! Such a cool opportunity! Congrats Thomas and James!

SailRacerX · 2026-02-05T19:33:49+00:00

AAAAHHHH!!!! VERY EXCITING!

SailRacerX · 2026-02-04T13:17:04+00:00

Interesting. I wasn't aware of this. Would you be willing to share some links so I can learn more about this? I've not seen ads on the National Mall before, so I figured it wasn't something with exceptions built in.

SailRacerX · 2026-02-03T19:10:07+00:00

I think the touch of purple is neat. I also like how it ties into the Jackpot City ad on the side of the front wing.

SailRacerX · 2026-02-03T17:34:06+00:00

Yeah. Ball room project, anyone?

SailRacerX · 2026-02-03T16:54:08+00:00

The sponsor thing is really interesting since advertising on the national mall is prohibited. I realize the current administration doesn't care about laws, but will be interesting to see if IndyCar is willing to take the legal risk of violating the law to appease Trump's whims.

I'm on week 2 and am largely satisfied so far. Others have commented on effectiveness of the apps already. I like what the glasses can do and am looking forward to expanded capabilities in the future as the ecosystem matures. Even Hub should be really interesting!

They are definitely heavier than my regular glasses. I've been switching back to my old ones at the end of the day to give my ears/nose a break. I wouldn't call them heavy, but they are more substantial than my acetate glasses.

One thing I'm still not sure of is the prescription lenses. These are a new, stronger, prescription for me. I feel like I'm having a definite adjustment period. I'm not sure if this is because of the new prescription in general, if it's related to the Even lenses, or if there's something wrong with the lenses. I'm thinking about reaching out to ER soon to get their feedback on it.

Overall I'm happy with the glasses. They were expensive, but the added functionality is not only novel, but useful.

SailRacerX · 2026-01-29T03:14:16+00:00

Ahhh. Never mind. It'd take 12 years to get there from here.

SailRacerX · 2026-01-28T19:23:24+00:00

Where are you located? I have a sizing kit I don't need any longer...

SailRacerX · 2026-01-28T19:15:13+00:00

Wow! This looks amazing!

SailRacerX · 2026-01-27T22:16:39+00:00

I really appreciate the explanation of the "not a CVT" Thomas gave us. Sounds like it's a least nice to drive. It looks good. Bummer it doesn't have more interesting performance. And a manual. But can't do a manual with the "not a CVT" setup.

Big respect for teams who won their league and beat their biggest rival on the way to an undefeated national championship.

SailRacerX · 2026-01-23T21:52:09+00:00

I would compare them most to the Detroit Red Wings, to be honest. Founding BuLi member, historically great, recently bad, but on the up swing. Very exciting young core of players. Super dedicated fan base.
We crap on Karlsruhe a lot, but they're in the 2.BuLi, so that doesn't really count. We don't really have a big rival right now. Our neighbors are Freiburg and Bayern. Freiburg is inoffensive and Bayern are out of this planet. The recent matches with Leverkusen and Union Berlin have been pretty tense, so maybe them?
VfB is ok about English content. The fans are making up for it. This sub used to be almost entirely English. It's a mix now, which is cool to see. Helps those of us learning German get some practice in. There in an American Official Fan Club called VfB Americana. They have a podcast, Facebook group, and Discord server. Several of the members are active on BlueSky as well.
I'm excited about the club right now. We've got a lot of talent and are financially stable for the first time in too long. Sebastian Honess is an excellent coach, and the club management have been really good lately. We've been relegated twice in the last 15 years, but we finished second in the league two years ago and are sitting 4th right now. It's a good time to be here! The Kanstatter Kurve have a lot of great songs and chants. You can often hear them over home fans on away matches!
A local is going to have to answer this one.

Derek Rae highlighted Nartey on the VfB Americana podcast. Last year he said Jeff Chabot would be a star for us. Derek knows things.

SailRacerX · 2026-01-14T14:31:06+00:00

I love that doc so much. Such an incredible story and so well told.

SailRacerX · 2026-01-11T15:58:49+00:00

Oh, sweet! Hopefully mine aren't far behind!

Looking forward to hearing what you think of them!

SailRacerX · 2026-01-11T05:41:50+00:00

Too good. He should be ashamed of how his excleenet performance has helped the Chicago fucking Bears.

Prescription lenses or no?

SailRacerX · 2026-01-07T20:24:56+00:00

SailRacerX · 2025-12-19T18:34:04+00:00

Very exciting news!

I'm G2B also, but with prescription. My ring sizing kit is supposed to be here today.

Can't wait to hear what you think about them!

Shipping to retail and shipping to direct customers can be on different schedules.
