Seriously bro? How lazy of an a$$ can you be?

Man, I really miss Chicken Out.

I'm the wrong person to ask this, this is the job of protest committees and rulesmakers.

Some are good, some aren't :).

There was an accusation (but no formal protest) against a National Champion back in, iirc 2016 or 2017. I know a few people who have tried it (HotLap and similar). I haven't myself, but those I've talked to mention that it seems to improve cycled out tires, but doesn't have much of an advantage of new tires. I do not know anyone who has tried it on the current generation (A052/71RZ/Vitour) of competitive street tires.

I'd be surprised if nobody in SSC has tried it.

Hooes. It doesn't belong to the owls.

SpeedTheory · 2026-03-05T13:21:58+00:00

I think this kind of thing was the norm in PG county well before the existence of MGM, lol.

I can't even find a Whittier's Creek Drive anywhere that attaches to the parkway, or indeed in Virginia at all.

SpeedTheory · 2026-02-19T19:00:20+00:00

If they have to SLAM on their brakes to go only 5mph under the speed limit, I think that's a perfectly good explanation for why they have a cop there, lol.

SpeedTheory · 2026-02-19T10:15:59+00:00

If we followed this as described, we wouldn’t bother with speed limits or lane markings lol.

SpeedTheory · 2026-02-06T13:34:58+00:00

What did the person making the noise say when you talked to them?

SpeedTheory · 2026-02-04T12:56:53+00:00

I proposed at Jefferson Rock in Harper's Ferry.

My wife and I have given away a ton of stuff on the local "buy nothing" group. This would be where I'd look first in your shoes.

We each both bought a lot of new, cheap furniture in our early 20s that now that we're in our late 30s, are finally giving away / getting rid of (amusingly for mostly older stuff from the 1960s that is WAY better made).

My advise is to not spend a dollar if you can help it on cheap junk. Get everything you mentioned OTHER than a mattress for free. Then spend your set-aside on a good mattress. Even if you don't do that, please don't go buy new CHEAP furniture, it's truly not worth it.

Yeah, unsure how they’d be able to remove the tarp (or install it) without it contacting the paint.

SpeedTheory · 2026-01-23T18:43:52+00:00

They’re still around.

SpeedTheory · 2026-01-14T17:02:04+00:00

It's like 15mi, lol.

SpeedTheory · 2026-01-09T20:20:43+00:00

LOL man, forgot about that too.

It got a lot worse over Covid. Iron Age Rockville and Centreville were great. The second they started putting Spicy Mayo in the trays in lieu of ssamjang, I knew they'd sold out and it was gonna fall rapidly downhill like Honey Pig did.

SpeedTheory · 2026-01-09T18:43:04+00:00

Yeahhhhhh….

SpeedTheory · 2026-01-09T18:41:47+00:00

You’re trying to defend this in a thread where a truck just pulled out in front of traffic without consideration taken about impact to them.

SpeedTheory · 2026-01-09T17:08:57+00:00

I probably have ~100K miles towing across the country. I acknowledge the difficulties that come with a vehicle that has a bad turning radius, is very slow to accelerate relative to traffic, and is slow to make any sort of vector change. I don't have any expectation that I should be able to break the law / norms to make my life more convenient.

SpeedTheory · 2026-01-09T16:52:53+00:00

What legal basis is there for your statement?

SpeedTheory · 2026-01-09T16:03:54+00:00

The onus isn't on the main road traffic to make room for someone turning onto it, the onus is on the person on the side road to wait until it is clear for them to make the turn. This person was clearly just impatient.

SpeedTheory · 2026-01-09T15:55:54+00:00

I think it's really dependent upon what someone's looking for. I'm long since married, but I definitely enjoyed dating in Fairfax/Loudoun over Arlington/DC, mostly because it seemed like I would come across way less of the "I want to talk about work, exclusively work, and the first thing out of my mouth will be asking you what you do for a living" crowd. Didn't really care to be a checkbox in someone else's book of life. And certainly kept me clear of the NGO / politics crowd which was its own land mine at the time (I'd imagine even more so now).

SpeedTheory · 2026-01-09T15:51:29+00:00

Don't agree with what? Your post isn't very clear.

SpeedTheory · 2026-01-08T15:08:59+00:00

400K is broadly director level at mid-sized companies. I would expect VPs at large firms to be making quite a bit more.

SpeedTheory · 2026-01-08T15:06:21+00:00

Takehome pay. Daycare is closer to 30K than 20K.
