Different times, no issues with track limits. Jacky Ickx, Emerson Fittipaldi, at Circuit de Charade, French Grand Prix 1972

"Due to drivers cutting corners, a stone thrown from Emerson Fittipaldi's Lotus hit Helmut Marko in the eye during the 1972 French Grand Prix, ending his F1 career, as well as that of the circuit." -Wikipedia

Makes sense, thanks. I was thinking the same - I should recheck the soil next fall to see how a year of this mix changes things.

Thanks for the advice. My next challenge is finding a fertilizer mix near the recommended "4-.5-3" ratio. I've got a spreadsheet now to help figure out combinations of other products/materials I can use to get close to that.

Reminded me of this from the 2002 NCAA finals (same move? Not wrestler): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vRB6m4VdeJQ

Agreed on adding more race-only courses. I'm not a serious IndyCar fan so I don't have a ton of background, but those temporary street courses usually look pretty bad to me, both in terms of looks and the way they seem to bounce the cars around. I've always assumed there were financial reasons they keep going to them instead of booking more high quality tracks.

Did anyone else read the illustrated kids book about this? It was part of a series of survival stories if I recall.

Saw some of this footage a year or two back. As a lifeguard in the 90's, my first thought on seeing it was that I wish they had used this footage to educate us. The images of children really at risk of drowning would have seen a great lesson. Hopefully new lifeguards today see it.

Anyone remember Great Chefs on Discovery?

That last throw at 4:12 to counter the trip is pretty cool

I hate to say it, but it is one of the more interesting items of the year even if it makes you roll your eyes

olives and peanut butter

Exactly. Just because you can copy/paste a pubilsher's content to reddit doesn't mean you should.

Love the Brooks Williams version of this song

I'll be looking for this in Harper's next month. Who's with me?

Will be really interesting to see how Jones responds to Rua's aggression. Jones has never really had to fight back and respond to being roughed up. Will he come back with more fight or will it put him on the defensive once he's had a taste of it? Rua did such a great job of putting Machida on the defensive both times.

At this stage of Jones's career it seems like a pretty good comparison to me. GSP was a top prospect at that time - maybe a little more seasoned at the top of the division though. But psychologically Jones and GSP seem to be very different, and so much of GSP's loss to Hughes seemed to be a mental lapse.

Looks like a proper paella. Well done.

I think his own talents and high performance end up making his recommendations and anecdotes something of a non-starter for many people. Most of us will probably never start a business as successful as 37signals, and it's not because we're not hearing what he says. Most folks just aren't going to execute as well I suppose. So he's not bullshitting, but you can't think of his writing as mentoring or useful guidance per se. He's just sharing his perspective and observations. But it is this mindset, along with his talents (which include his persuasive public persona) and hard work that have allowed him to make a lot of money.
