I really like these weekly challenges from Stern - hope they start another series! #pinball

Took a few tries, but finally got this weekโ€™s destruction jackpot badge! Iโ€™m surprised this was still available - still 207 left to claim.

All Roombas should be named โ€œMr. Annoyingโ€ from the factory.

Or maybe it was โ€œNorth Carolina Universityโ€œ?

Iโ€™ve seen it clued as a โ€œCity in North Carolinaโ€ in some crosswords (not necessarily NYT)

Iโ€™m guessing next season weโ€™ll get a โ€œI canโ€™t believe the leopards ate MY faceโ€ report from Ayao after Esteban takes out Ollie for the tenth timeโ€ฆ

As someone who did FSAE in the early 90s when it was 99% tube frames, it blows my mind that theyโ€™re now making carbon fiber tubs. So awesome.

But seriously, I hope Marcus does well this season - he seems like a genuinely nice guy.

So are we going to see a posedown between Newgarden and Ericsson?

Venu demise causes IndyCar streaming headache The NTT IndyCar Series finds itself with a significant new problem that affects fans who prefer to consume its racing through a widely available streaming platform. In its move from the NBC networkโ€ฆ

As an Indy fan for 30+ years, Fox could bring back Bob Varsha as a commentator and I still wouldnโ€™t pay $90/month. Hopefully Fox and/or IndyCar is working on a reasonably priced streaming option for cord cutters.

When I first saw the virtual version of this table, I thought for sure the author didnโ€™t accurately model the โ€œlizardโ€ - but they were spot on! (and itโ€™s a great game)

Although the Venu deal imploding kills streaming for a lot of other sports - so hopefully Fox is working on some sort of cord-cutter streaming solution.

I remember being annoyed when F1TV went from about $50 to $80 the other year (maybe that was a trial rate?) but considering the number of hours I watch it, itโ€™s a bargain.

10.01.2025 21:25 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Thatโ€™s interesting- I didnโ€™t realize IndyCar already had a streaming system for other countries. Iโ€™ll also bet the Fox deal precludes the use of it in the US, unfortunately

As a โ€œcord cutterโ€ Iโ€™m not sure how Iโ€™m going to follow IndyCar this year - maybe YouTube highlights?

I keep reading how this Fox deal is such a game changer - I donโ€™t get it.

Wow - what a cluster with Venu being cancelled. I think I pay $100/year for Peacock with no ads - it was such a great way to watch every IndyCar session. When the Fox/Venu deal was announced I decided I wasnโ€™t going to pay $42/month.

F1TV is a bargain at $80/year.

Apart from the Duracell battery, Williams liveries have been pretty bland the past few years - just a generic blue car. Hopefully this means theyโ€™ve got something interesting planned this season.

Wow - these shots are amazing! I recognized it as TOTAN but Iโ€™ve never seen it from this perspective - cool!

Yes! So glad to see you over here! I also follow you on Threads, but there doesnโ€™t seem to be a lot of engagement or discussion over there.

I like this theory. Gaetzโ€™s nomination also helps normalize Trumpโ€™s other nominations.
