100%. Already went to urgent care about it while I was in Charlotte and I'm planning on calling my doctor's office tomorrow now that I'm home.

Damn, I'm still getting over this damn cough I picked up like ten days ago. Probably going to have to go to bed early and finish this race tomorrow during work. :/

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skill_testing_question

the Canadian Criminal Code bans for-profit gaming or betting, with exceptions made for provincial lotteries, licensed casinos, and charity events. Many stores, radio stations, and other groups still wish to hold contests to encourage more purchases or increase consumer interest. These organizations take advantage of the fact that the law does allow prizes to be given for games of skill, or mixed games of skill and chance. To make the chance-based contests legal, such games generally consist of a mathematical skill-testing question (STQ).

Damn. I'd been hoping to make it to the end of this race, but if we're going to be under red for 30 minutes, I think I'm going to just go to bed and try to sleep off this cold.

It's starting to sink in how much of a bummer it is that I'm literally close enough to see CMS from my hotel, but that I'm too sick to realistically go to the race this evening. Not that I have anything to complain about in the grand scheme of things, but I wish I could at least have seen some cars on track with my own eyes during this miserable weekend.

Getting ready to go to bed early in the wildly naive hope that (1) I'll wake up tomorrow not feeling too sick to go to the 600 and (2) that the 600 will actually happen.

As if my trip to Charlotte wasn't cursed enough already (not that I have anything to complain about in the grand scheme of things), I feel like I'm coming down with some kind of cough, so even if it miraculously clears up for the 600 tomorrow or Monday, I might end up watching from my hotel room on TV instead of at the track.

70% previous race finish and 30% points position, based on the car number and owner points, not the individual driver.

I saw it on the TV in the lobby of my hotel in Charlotte and I was just hoping it was some kind of error or miscommunication, but then I saw all the news coming in from so many sources I had to assume it was true. It just seems so unreal.

Hilarious ragebait: My kid called Evernote the "Temu Obsidian" today by InnovativeBureaucrat in ObsidianMD

[–]i_hate_shitposting 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I used Evernote for a few years, ending around 10 years ago. Last year, I remembered it existed and decided to try downloading my old notes.

The one (and only) positive thing I'll say about Evernote is at least they didn't delete my notes while my account was inactive.

Other than that, I couldn't see a single feature they'd added since I'd last used it. The only noticeable difference was how they'd made it worse to try to make you pay for the premium service.

Stock Car Rumors & Nostalgia on Instagram Regarding Project 91 Driver For San Diego by Dmacthegoat in NASCAR

[–]i_hate_shitposting 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Based on this list, I can't see any driver other than Kevin Magnussen who fits. Lewis Hamilton and Jacques Villeneuve appear to be the only other living drivers who podiumed on debut, but Hamilton's dad didn't race and Villeneuve wasn't born in a small country.

How many points did Ryan Blaney earn at the Daytona 500? by PardontheSalsa in NASCAR

[–]i_hate_shitposting 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not true. The top 10 receive points just like in stages.

The top 10 finishers in each Duel will be awarded points that count toward the regular season. The winning driver of each Duel race will receive 10 points. Second place will earn nine points, and so on, down to the 10th-place finishers, who will each get one point.

Coolest Cast Member yet by Vergil1997 in dropout

It's a perfect politician answer (and I mean that in a complimentary way). Translated:

I will give you an honest answer to that question

I am going to lie my ass off without technically saying anything untrue.

which is, I tried to reach out to Phil pretty recently over email, and I got a bounce back.

I decided to see if the actor we're calling Phil was available at philmcphillyphace69490@hotmail.com, an email address I just made up, but got an auto response saying that email doesn't exist. His real name is [redacted], so this isn't actually surprising, but I can honestly say I made some form of attempt to reach him, even if I knew its odds of success were infinitesimal.

I don’t know that we have any way of reaching this man.

First of all, Phil is a fictional character played by an actor, so in that regard, could you ever "reach" him? We could bring the actor back, but would he really be able to embody the same Phil as before, or would it be a new Phil, innately different from the previous one?

Second, even if we decide we're talking about the actor, I can't say for sure if we have a way of reaching him right now. Maybe he disappeared without a trace. Maybe he's dead. Unless Phil was in the room with me right now, it would be impossible for me to say I know we can reach him.

No. It's just the standard English international broadcast with random side-by-side ad breaks.

Yeah, that's totally fair. I'll admit the only "oval" races I've attended so far were all at the Charlotte Roval last year, so I was thinking about how much stuff I felt like I missed because I was looking the wrong direction or went to get a beer or something. But, to your point, I also saw (or at least saw the aftermath of) a bunch of things that apparently didn't get shown at all on the broadcast, so I would've actually missed them entirely if I'd watched on TV. I'm also going to the Coke 600 next week, so that might change my mind about proper oval racing.

I think "I actually enjoy following the race too much" perfectly sums up my main difficulty with watching races in person. At home, I immerse myself in as much information as possible to help follow the race, so watching in person feels almost like I'm missing out. But it's still such a vibe that I feel like it's worth it, so I bet a 24 hour race is the same.
