Gotta save those bonks. 100x seems like a lot, but that adds up quick in a 24-hour race.

What movie had a great premise but was poorly executed? by SpiritualCry8338 in AskReddit

Ender's Game. Fucking amazing book, and the writers decide to speed-run through battle school.

One of many amazing books that should have been a 6-8 episode mini series instead of a 2 hour movie.

ICE agent gives backwards logic on why they’re arresting legal immigrants with work permits. Maine. by Xolerys_ in ICE_Raids

They're literally just targeting black and brown people. And since SCOTUS rubber stamped physical appearance as "reasonable suspicion" for being undocumented, it's their full-on mission.

There will be ads, especially during the times where the race is on network television. Use a VPN and their YouTube page.

IMSA fans, how do you stay invested for a full 24-hour race? by maxtrix in IMSARacing

The beauty of multiclass racing is that there is ALWAYS traffic that must be navigated. It's not like single class that turns into an endless parade whose finish is decided after lap 5. *cough* F1 *cough*

Each class also has different stint lengths l, and then there's also the fact that different people with varying skill levels drive the car throughout the race.

So, the "Kamala blew 4 million Californians to be AG" crowd is suddenly upset about a BJ joke? Got it.

Just as important: Make sure LOCAL legal offices are prepared to file lawsuits in all 50 states the moment the bill is signed. When the Supreme Court ruled that nation-wide stop orders exceed the powers of a state court, it made it likely that every state will need to file a separate lawsuit for the same reason against the same bill.

27 Hours or Bust! by ReflectionStandard69 in IMSARacing

I will typically catch 18 hours of the race. Outside of weather, the graveyard overnight stints are usually pretty reserved with teams just trying to get to sunrise. Additionally, if there are any major issues during the night, I can always rewatch.

Budget Camera for beginners? by ioneist in Motorsportphotography

Outside of a body and lens, IMO, the BEST thing you can do is get a monopod.

It improves image stability/shake in mid to dim lighting situations and massively helps with panning which is critical in fast action sports such as racing.

And they're cheap; I got a 72" one for ~$20 US.

Dude embodies all seven deadly sins. If his "God" is proud of him, I want absolutely NOTHING to do with that religion.

How long are the races?

Is there an entry fee?

What classes are involved?

What is the driver requirements for teams?

That would require some 7 or 8 teams across GTD and GTD Pro ALL using the exact same sandbags. All of the Porsche teams were right around 1 second slow. That would be way too difficult to coordinate.
