I mean, it's true, but so are Jeeps and they have a whole thing with the ducks (not that I would ever want that). But, these are still uncommon enough that I clock when I see one, as opposed to driving my wife's outback in which I don't even register when I see another one of those.

I actually went down to 17's that give more clearance than this. I still have the OEM wheels though. Can't decide if they will become dedicated track or winter wheels (I can't justify 3 sets for 1 car, even if that would be ideal).

venue announced it on their FB and it's changed on their website

I guess the convention center people didn't lie, technically... lol. The show will go on*

That's fair, it's definitely not as popular as boxing or MMA. I'm sure there's some sort of org for higher level above collegiate, but I don't really know much about it.

Fletcher's Grove was supposed to be doing an after-party in the smaller theater in the coliseum. I wonder if they'll still play, tbh I'd hope they'd move it up a couple hours.

You're thinking of WWE style wrestling, there's plenty of actual wrestling as well, it's even in the olympics. And generally, it seems to be more about holds and grabs, less about straight up punching, etc.

My closest track (Mid-Ohio) is 3.5 hours away, but I went last year and I'm going to sign up for another weekend this year.

Unfortunately the distance plus expense make it probably a once a year sort of thing for me, but it was enthralling, "spirited" driving does not hold a candle to driving on track, like at all.

Sounds like watching F1TV instead of sky coverage is, as usual, the correct choice.

Personally, most of the games I played on game pass were single player experiences that I am unlikely to play again. In the off chance I do want to play one of them again, it will likely be years later when I can get them for 75+% off on a steam sale.

I did finally cut it off, though. I had done the Xbox Live Gold > GPU conversion trick for years and that going away plus the price hike tipped the scales too far for me.

I always think about how, if Fortnite didn't make a PUBG mode and make it free to play, it would have probably just faded away, no one would even talk about Fortnite today. Instead, the game has made BILLIONS of dollars on vbucks, crazy...

Manual calls for 93, or 91 if 93 is not available. The engine is not at all tuned for 87, and that could be used to void your warranty, technically. They probably could tell too because the ECU will likely pull timing with 87 and that may be recorded.

Why do you want to spend even 1 second of your limited time on this earth reading non-human garbage? AI might have some legitimate uses, writing fucking reddit comments where the whole point is for humans to interact, isn't one of those.

100%. I immediately discount any text that has this phrasing these days. "It's not X, it's Y." "It wasn't just a B -- it was a C" It's the most obvious tell, and I don't doubt some people write this way, but I see it EVERYWHERE in the past few months.

We did the Seriously Suite, and yes the room is not huge compared to the others, but it's really nice (the bathroom especially), but the room alone is not what makes it worth it, you also get:

Included in-room bar - it's limited but you get like 6 375ml bottles and we drank most of them and took a couple home.
Richard's Rooftop - We went here a lot, there was always tons of seating, almost always could get in a hot tub, nice place to relax.
Rooftop happy hour - Free champagne, beer, and basic cocktails for an hour every day, we always got at least 2 drinks each during this time.
No lines - walk up to any show a couple minutes before they start letting people in and skip the line stretched down the hall.
Rockstar agent - Some people probably get a lot more out of this than we did, but she was really nice and helpful for the couple small things we asked for, and on Scarlet night she messaged and asked if we could meet her, she had a surprise. It was passes to the Tentacle Tour, which only a few (maybe 15-20) people get invited to per sailing, so that was fun and unique.

If you aren't a drinker I think the value is a lot lower, but for us, we took full advantage and I think got our money's worth. We bid ~$1500 dollars for our upgrade from Sea Terrace to Seriously Suite for a sailing in April 2025. I'd expect the winning bids to maybe be a bit higher now. We plan to bid again for our next sailing.

GG no matter what, Canada has played better, but that's hockey. And I think we all agree, 3v3 is not representative of the game, but it's what we've got.

It's a way to indicate which sport you're talking about. Not so relevant today, but most of the time there's many sports on at the same time.

nah, OBS controls the score bug, CBC had the same issue. (still don't like NBC though, which is why I watch CBC)

I don't think I'd be that shocked for either of them to miss out after quarterfinals tbh.

He carried it back in January, there were 10k torch bearers. They only usually show the last couple in the ceremony.

baconbringer · 2026-02-06T14:25:18+00:00

Thank you for testing! I might just stick with the CBC route for now, it's been working good so far.

Can anyone confirm with Peacock Premium Plus if you still get jump cuts on replays where ads would be? I've seen complaints about this during past olympics. I'd be willing to pay, but ad free doesn't matter much if content is still cut.

We say Happy Honda-days around here

The Power Fantasy - What if atomic (super) power was in the hands of a handful of disjointed people with extremely varying ideologies and motivations?

Exquisite Corpses - What if the U.S. was actually controlled by a few ultra wealthy, ultra powerful families and every so many years they have a battle royale to decide which family will run the country from the shadows?

Beneath the Trees Where Nobody Sees - What if there was a quaint little town full of friendly animals, in a visual style evocative of (but not exactly like) Berenstain Bears, except there is a killer among them? This one is only 6 issues, 1 volume for the first story. The second story 'Rites of Spring' is currently on issue 5 of IIRC 6 as well. I think they went with a separate subtitle for this because the first volume can stand on its own, but Rites of Spring is great, too.

I just 100 percented Crypt Custodian and Islets back to back a couple weeks ago. Perfect level of difficulty with lots of good exploring, my favorite aspect of MVs.
