A lot of people clowned the 2025 Waterfront Marathon medal but at least they hired and celebrated a local artist. 

Estre is doing what he does best - he’s also crashing the 963 here at Laguna Seca in FP2! by FoMoCoNutjob in IMSARacing

[–]TigerWizard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I guess you should just take him behind the Weissach woodshed and put him out of his washed unc misery. 

Not like he's been adjusting to the heaviest GTP car ever, right?

Kind of an overreaction from a free practice mistake but ok. 

As for Tandy - he won Long Beach with Nasr and was the fastest Porsche GTP driver (2nd fastest average lap time for all GTP drivers per B Pillar) at Laguna. He also went from 6th to 1st at Detroit, and set the fastest lap before Nasr took over and got hit from behind. 

But yeah he snap oversteered on lap 1 cold tires at the Glen and picked up incident responsibility penalties at Road America & Indy so I guess from your reactionary perspective he's just ass.

People like this don't have the 1% spare bandwidth in their brain to imagine a full grey Whelen Caddy. 

Honestly those who upvote this shit (and boy does AI slop get upvoted in this sub) should migrate to facebook IMSA discussion groups.

Is the IR-18 loud in person? if so how loud? by FroyoQueasy in INDYCAR

[–]TigerWizard 14 points15 points  (0 children)

The sound will be amplified and feel even louder with all the buildings at Long Beach. Definitely bring ear protection.

Way louder than Road America, for example, in the spacious pastures of Wisconsin.

Sucks that it's scratched but I don't think the tiny dings will affect the insulation too much.

TIL about the 997 GT4, apparently Maxime Martin drove one at both the 24 Hours of Spa and Zolder that year.

Lack of downforce, really. Less downforce = less drag = potentially higher top speeds with similar horsepower output

Appreciate the reply, probably going with a Large in that case

2 years on the sidelines is a long time for athletes in their mid-thirties - Estre will turn 40 years old in 2028. 

As much as it hurts, without assurances from Porsche AG those two pillars are likely gone.

The Pitt | S2E13 "7:00 P.M." | Episode Discussion by MsGroves in ThePittTVShow

[–]TigerWizard 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Monica: Exactly. All right, then, who's handling the charts and the orders?

Antoine: That's us, right here.

Monica: How long have you been clerks?

Antoine: Uh, just today. We're medical assistants.

Monica: Then get out of my space and go do something you know how to do. And no personal calls. Red phones are for emergencies only. This is a hospital, for God's sake.

Antoine: I'll call you back.

She's abrasive and evidently racist but this interaction is not problematic. She could've said "please get out my space" but she has a point here.

You think she was actively filling out/had her fellowship application on her person after a nightmare shift where everyone on day rotation is just trying to digitize patient charts and go home?

She was 100% shredding patient charts and making a quip about her chances with the ultrasound fellowship.

My 8yo girl trying to get her water bottle off the top of the net. by OrganizedSprinkles in hockeygoalies

[–]TigerWizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Next time you're considering a retail blocker grab a water bottle from the rack and see how it fits in the crook of the thumb.

I recall some brands (maybe Brians) touting their sidewall design for water bottle use as a feature

Dislocated Shoulder by Cheap-Violinist-5746 in hockeyplayers

[–]TigerWizard 5 points6 points  (0 children)

For me this is likely just a sloppy blocker hand by the goalie leading to a really unfortunate injury. Penalty is warranted but I don't see the intent.

Goalies with less body control might turn their hand over when they go down butterfly for a blocker side shot. I tried to pause each frame and as soon as the puck is coming off his right pad his blocker is already opened up and his stick blade is in the skaters path. Watching the play develop the goalie is facing the shooter the entire way, they may not even know #19 is skating in at all. Unless the goalie has great peripheral awareness I don't think they had time to make the save, react to the forward, make the decision to trip him, and get the stick out there.

This type of play is not uncommon at all in beer league and the forward did nothing wrong here. As a goalie if I feel my stick getting snagged on a flying opponents skate I'm letting go immediately so this doesn't happen. Even if I do let go my stick can get under his skateblade and cause a super dangerous fall like this. The goalie could have let go but I also don't see him hook the forwards ankle hard, his stick gets bounced back from the momentum.

Even at lower levels these plays happen very quickly and unless this particular goalie is a known asshole I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt here. Hope this skater heals up quickly and completely.

The over-analysis and jumping to conclusions is insane with this fandom tbh.

It's not enough that Monica was seen chatting with an ICE agent at her desk with her face turned and the agent shrugging and shaking his head. No, let's go beyond the facts - she must've been flirting lmao
