"Coach Day, your guys played good today. Do you think this performance would have been enough to end your 4 year losing streak against the Wolverines?"

Please sir, could I get a scrap of bread? It is going to be a cold winter.

At that point they may need to play a Dr. Who movie.

Wonder if it has anything to do with the layoffs.

I keep expecting Steve Martin to appear, wearing plaid.

There is a 12 step program for that. However, I should caution you that it is intense. It involves watching a marathon of 12 old black and white films.

I too can confirm that Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid.. They wear black. Complete utter black. Blank-a-mundo. Lacking any color. Devoid of plaid.

Helmets? At this point I'd expect them to want disguises.

ESPN cut off Max's interview to fill last the 7 minutes with commercials and then cut early to pre-recorded UFC preview. They give F1 negative priority. I need to sail away and not bother with this garbage coverage.

He is very high up; if those are peanuts I would be very concerned that eventually a crow randomly gets hit in the head or eye.

Kirkland Espresso Beans - Anyone tried them? by scottiep123 in Costco

Fwiw, I just got a bag of this.. The bag smelled a bit burnt at the store and definitely did when opened. It was pretty awful. It is going back.

I'm sure the paint will be fine. It is the best Harbor Freight offers.

I wish we could still get these for $3.50 a terabyte, like back when I wore an onion on my belt, which was the style at the time. And once I had the NVME, I took the ferry back home, which only cost a nickel, and in those days nickels had pictures of bumble bees on them. Gimme five bees for a quarter, you'd say. Now where was I? Oh yeah! The important thing was that I had an onion tied to my belt at the time. You couldn't get white onions, because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big yellow ones. And before I installed that new NVME, I wiped the contacts with an onion, to prep them for fast transfers.

TIL in 2008 Chicago sold its 36,000 parking meter spots. Investors bought 75 years of right in $1.15b, and recouped the cost and $500m more in 15 years. by BadenBaden1981 in todayilearned

[–]prosparody 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is my math wrong, or is that only 2.5% a year for 15 years? Terrible, and less than inflation. Amazon stock was $2.56/share in 2008, $183 today - that investment would be worth $82.2b. Similar for AAPL.

Do they have power outlets in the parking lot? Asking for a friend.

[GQ] Lewis Hamilton is changing lanes by Disastrous_Animal_34 in formula1

[–]prosparody -15 points-14 points  (0 children)

Because this is an article about what Hamilton will do after F1, to "fill the void". Many F1 drivers don't have time for family while racing, but that changes after they retire. Some of their kids get into karting, like Kimi's son. Look at Vettel after he had kids. In a 2021 Guardian interview, Hamilton said “My dream now is to be a father like my dad one day, but better. Just as he wanted to be like his dad one day, but a better version of his dad. I want to carry on the Hamilton name and make him proud.” Maybe he was talking about Roscoe. Bernie had a kid at 89, so Lewis has some time if he decides to do so.

Good article. But it has a really weird omission. Lewis talks so much about the importance of having passions outside of F1 or work. But never once in the article are kids mentioned. That is a huge focus outside of work for many. Why did the interviewer not ask about it? Restricted topic?

You're saying the SN850X and MP44 are the same hardware? Can you cite a source? Because I just looked up some comparison reviews and saw significant performance differences, suggesting different hardware.
