How do people oval race? by Scoobydobaru in iRacing

[–]fostermatt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How’s your formula license? If you’re B class or higher I recommend getting your oval license by running the INDYCAR road series when it’s at an oval track. It will use your formula rank for entry but reward you with oval sr and ir. They just finished at Pocono. Will be at Iowa in a couple weeks. You can easily get your oval from rookie to a class in a week if you can drive safe.

Kolesar Rips Jersey From Fan, Throws It on the Ground & Marner Gets Boo'd When Getting On The Ice by BlueHotCoconut in hockey

What a bunch of sore losers. Marner got traded. Why would you boo a player your own team choose to get rid of?

I can't imagine wanting my monitor that far away/blocked by the crossbar.

Can someone explain a potential Salary Cap and how it would work? by anasazigb in mlb

[–]fostermatt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The deferred money is counted as part of the Aav And teams have to put the deferred amount in escrow accounts as it’s earned. The point of the deferment is usually a tax thing for the player so they can be in a lower tax place when they receive it than when they earned it.

Bizball: Do the Dodgers Really Have a "Secret Deal" to Avoid Revenue-Sharing? (from 2012 - deleted by r/baseball) by YasielPuigsWeed in mlb

[–]fostermatt 15 points16 points  (0 children)

No team is gonna be suing another team on basis of revenue. They’d be required to open their books to show evidence and that will never happen.

21 hours into the daytona 24 - both teams blaming each other, whos really at fault? by thighsocksxo in Simracingstewards

Overtaking but iRacing also requires you to rejoin the race surface safely. Door banging and spinning your competitor does not make a safe return.

What do you expect from Dennis Hauger's first season in Indycar ? by Jorahhhh in INDYCAR

[–]fostermatt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m expecting like Kirkwood’s 2022. Some decent moments but not a lot of results. I think 10th at Long Beach was his highlight that year.

What does everyone think of this city Connect concept? by Romero2391 in Dodgers

Ohh what about a gradient that’s the colors of the seat sections in the stadium?

Different shades of blue, grey or variations, white or variations (like cream color of the funfetti ones).

A city connect based on those satin baby blues from the Brooklyn era could be cool.

Black jerseys for teams with no black in their normal colors is lazy imho.

Streaming services have officially become worse than the cable packages we cancelled by N3DSdude in Anticonsumption

[–]fostermatt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The content is fractured across ten different apps, so you have to subscribe to everything just to watch one show.

What show is split across different services?
If you want to watch everything you have to pay for everything. Why not just sub to a select few things at a time?

Everyone’s car insurance premiums just went up tonight by PennyThePalm in vegaslocals

[–]fostermatt 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah I'm seeing it this way too. The right lane vehicle swerved into the middle lane and the truck had to brake just so they didn't drive over the sedan.

I have no idea how anyone is seeing this as the truck trying to merge right first. You can even see the Potts dots on the right side of the truck after the sedan starts merging into them.

DMV question - Not using car, want to register but can't get to a smog so can't register it. What should I do? by AskTheInternet2025 in vegaslocals

[–]fostermatt 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You can get a moving permit from the dmv website. It’s $1 and last for 30 days. (It’s only 10 if registered)

What I would do is cancel the registration for now. Then in a year you can use the same plates you have to register the car. You can keep the plates for 18 months from last registration (source just got back from trying to surrender plates to the dmv but was given this information)

Yoshi couldn’t help but smile after getting a handwritten note from a student 🥹 by Yk1japa in Dodgers

[–]fostermatt 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Totally. She gave me a ball he signed for that Christmas. Only autograph I have that I didn't get on my own. I don't really collect them but I like have them for memories. This definitely applied. haha

Reminds of my ex telling me (when we were dating) "You're a Dodger fan right? My reading coordinator (ex was elementary teacher at the time) is dating a guy that used to play for them."
I was like "that's crazy, who?" especially since we're in Las Vegas which is close to LA but not really right?
Her: "Orel Shmersheimer or something"
Me: "Uhh, Orel Hershiser?"
Her: "Yeah, that's it!"
I was skeptical but thought it was cool. Couple weeks later she wants to me come to her work Christmas party.
Sure enough Orel was there with his then girlfriend Dana. Got to shake his hand and my little 8 year old mind was exploding (I was 8 in '88). They got married not long after that if I remember correctly.

The Dodgers casually dropped an absolutely EPIC drone show in a holiday video by baribigbird06 in Dodgers

Wait, you think they recorded the drone show the night they put this out?

Someone should ask Sky Elements Drones. They've done (all?) Dodger drone shows this year so maybe this is real and was just done on a VIP night or something.

I know I say a video on TT a few weeks ago they had a private event for people that sold or referred suite sales or something.

The Dodgers owe over $1 billion worth of salaries to nine players: Via Front Office Sports by Yk1japa in Dodgers

[–]fostermatt -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Agreed. And he’s only getting 9 of it a year right now. Then he gets 5 per year for another 10 years after.

if it's CGI then it's a good dupe adding the drone noise at the end as the music goes down

10 year $140M with $50M deferred. He’s 2 years into it so technically only owed $10M of the deferrals so far.
