So how busy was this week? So busy that I wasn’t able to write the next instalment of “A Ranking of Ryes.” That’s right, I was too busy to drink whiskey. How tf does that even happen?
The planets are also too busy to line up into any readable patterns. MERCURY RETROGRADE is still going on, Aquarius is still being a pimp, and the moon being in Pisces means good fishing.
Aaaaand the cards still hate you.
Aquarius: The Tower reversed. I’m not even going into detail with this one. Just know that of the 156 possible single-card draws, this is the worst one. Enjoy!
Pisces: 3 of Coins reversed – Skilled labor fucking up. A guy installing a stained glass window, but dropping it from the top of the ladder. Mediocrity, in work and otherwise, puerility, pettiness, weakness.
Aries: 5 of Wands reversed – Defeat in a game. Litigation, disputes, trickery, contradiction.
Taurus: The Hanged Man. Even though we’re dealing with the sign of the Bull, it’s “hanged,” not “hung.” Wisdom, circumspection, discernment, trials, sacrifice, intuition, divination, prophecy.
Gemini: 9 of Coins reversed – Investments going to shit. Roguery, deception, voided project, bad faith.
Cancer: King of Cups reversed – Bad priests. Dishonest, double-dealing man; roguery, exaction, injustice, vice, scandal, pillage, considerable loss.
Leo: The Moon reversed – Instability, inconstancy, silence, lesser degrees of deception and error. At least it’s lesser degrees. Count that as a blessing this week.
Virgo: Page of Swords – Authority, overseeing, secret service, vigilance, spying, examination
Libra: 10 of Cups – Contentment, repose of the entire heart; perfection of human love and friendship
Scorpio: Strength reversed – Despotism, abuse of power, weakness, discord, disgrace.
Sagittarius: King of Coins reversed – Vice, weakness, ugliness, perversity, corruption, peril.
Capricorn: 5 of Swords – Degradation, destruction, revocation, infamy, dishonor, loss. But remember, these are things that you will be doing. You catch a break… this week.
Scorpio: Strength reversed – Despotism, abuse of power, weakness, discord, disgrace
What? We got rid of that punk in our press office – JRB46
Oh for fuck’s sake, NA!
Bwahaha!
Virgo: Page of Swords – Authority, overseeing, secret service, vigilance, spying, examination
Hold up- Am I the spy? Or the spy-ee ?
Either answer could give me a strange boner.
I am the Spy, from what my new Boss tells me,
How did the ice removal go last week? Everyone survive intact?
it was awesome, dropping them with sledgehammers, giant explosions when they hit the ground, We were laughing like a couple of kids, and lived,
https://photos.app.goo.gl/baSUsEGbSGCz9PSW9
Awesome. We get similar ice on the building where I work. You don’t want to be parked too close when it lets go.
Also a spy
Another spy
More spies
Gemini: 9 of Coins reversed – Investments going to shit. Roguery, deception, voided project, bad faith.
But enough about the government.
Sunday. It happens every week, even if the sun refuses to emerge from behind the clouds.
I saw that thing on Friday, it’s gotta be around here somewhere…..
It peeked out down here a little while ago, trying to lull us into a false sense of security.
Degradation, destruction, revocation, infamy, dishonor, loss. But remember, these are things that you will be doing.
So the wife won’t be back til midweek, so only half as bad as it could be.
Litigation, disputes, trickery, contradiction.
Maybe.
“So the wife won’t be back til midweek…”
So a….mid-wife ?
“I don’t know nothin’ ’bout birthin’ babies”!
Sagittarius: King of Coins reversed – Vice, weakness, ugliness, perversity, corruption, peril.
Good thing I’ve got a fresh bottle of airplane glue.
Instability, inconstancy, silence, lesser degrees of deception and error. At least it’s lesser degrees. Count that as a blessing this week.
I expect it will be bigger degrees.
Nope. We’re fine:
“Moon reversal”? Is that where you flash the front stuff?
Im trying to think of a witty “Valley Girl” joke, but I got nuthin’.
Chaw! As If?
Moon Reversal is what you call doing it doggy style with a Zappa
Larf,
Fucking Libras.
Someone wants to get judged, good and hard.
So Scaly as well,
What’s with bank stocks? I’m up 21% since 1/1/2021 on my regional bank stock holding. Of course, despite what you heard about TARP bailing out the banks and letting them off scot free, I’m still down 46% from the stock’s high in 2007.
They’re being primed for a combined short and dump collaboration between several brokerages.
I don’t follow them much, but I’d ask which to which banking sector do you refer? GS is up 600% since 2008, for example, and still only trades below PE = 13.
What’s with bank stocks?
Something something Janet Yellin, blowing bubbles.
?
Tiny bubbles?
Bubbles is back! Let the good times roll! Bubbles is back!

Pork. It’s what’s for lunch.
Not pictured – guns. No one tries to steal pork chops.
Nice. How will you cook them?
Cast iron.
Gonna serve with a side of bread cheese and bruschetta.
Perfect. Got filets going on the grill later, subzero temps be damned!
‘Murica!
I’d have to shovel snow to get to my grill. So, our filets will be done in the pan tonight too.
Chops came out perfect and the house smells good to boot.
Well, knowing Sean a *little* bit, probably using the hot exhaust gases from a crew-served 20mm Gatling gun.
It’s lunchtime. Something has to die.
?
Nice.
Gemini: 9 of Coins reversed – Investments going to shit. Roguery, deception, voided project, bad faith.
Well, we’ve been braced for this for awhile, so . . .
Libra: 10 of Cups – Contentment, repose of the entire heart; perfection of human love and friendship
I’ll take it! You just point to which beach and I’ll find the beer on my own.
Time to see how boring & woke NASCAR is gonna be this year
More gay than Jeff Gordon in a rainbow car?
ahh, another FAG, jealous much? or is it Little Dale?
Daytona? I stopped watching when they went to heat racing, Fucking pussies, can’t run 500 miles in one shot…..
That’s one of many things that has turned me off. But I usually watch Daytona and Talladega just for the wreckage
E Sr. won at Talladega once under Green flag conditions, all 500 miles, a great race,
Kenny Wallace (my favorite driver) pushed him to his final NASCAR race win at Talladega
Yes, Kenny is hilarious, and that was a great piece of racin’ by those two,
the Good Old Days,
They just got the first Arab woman driver, wait until they start getting Asian women, lol!
They will be too busy parking.
OMG. They’re going to “have a conversation about race” on the prerace. And “race” isn’t referring to cars.
Struggle session with Kyle Larson, natch. Our mute button is getting quite the workout today.
We skipped watching most of last season. I think the biggest draw for us this year is Bowyer in the booth.
I LOVE Clint! What is it with Missouri drivers? Clint, Kenny, and Kenny are the best!
And Jamie McMurray!
I still miss Carl Edwards. : (
Carl would have been WONDERFUL in the booth! I honestly believed he was being groomed for that. But then he just walked away…
(I understand though – Junior’s concussion shook him, I think, and he didn’t want to jeopardize his pilot’s license.)
My ex nicknamed Carl Edwards “Corn”. He said corn was afraid of that guy’s teeth LOL
I still miss Carl Edwards. : (
Everybody was kung fu fighting….
(Oh, wait, that’s Carl *Douglas*.)
I’ll put on the last hour or so of the race for Dad if it’s on when we’re having dinner. Otherwise, something else goes on.
I, of course, think the only reason to watch NASCAR is for the crashes.
I only enjoy crashes involving Kyle Busch on the receiving end.
HA!!
I also loved Elliott Sadler’s personality
Unwatchable is the first word that comes to mind. Granted, it wasn’t the newfound wokeness that ran me off. It was the mickey mouse rules package that turned it into WWE on wheels rather than a sporting competition.
NASCAR is a lot like the GOP: it’s taken over by a different demographic than the one that created it and brought it to be, and it will fascinating to see what comes of it.
When I was 14 I was wrenching on the same engines they had; I wore some of their swag, I used some of their tricks: I could relate. I don’t begrudge the level of driving and understand that there are few industries that my toothless demographic will continue to dominate after the real world comes calling and the bucks start flying, but you can’t get me to care like I cared. The disconnect between what they’re running and what is in the showroom is a dealbreaker; if I want a world-class contrivance, I can just enjoy F1 . . . which has never pretended to be relevant.
The heats are the least forgivable of the latest changes, and I’ll never again sit and watch one flag-to-flag, but I don’t mind having it on in the background so long as the venue creates some real racing. So, top down, these are my interests such as I understand the season:
Watkins Glen
Sears Point
Bristol
Richmond
Pocono
Atlanta
Elkhart
Indy roadcourse
I could never get into Atlanta…it’s very fast, but with none of the drafting excitement.
I hate all the 1.5 miler “new” tracks that they brought in in the late 90’s, and I don’t car much for NH or Pocono.
I agree with most of your picks, but I really love the draft. I’ll probably only watch the 4 Daytona & Talladega races this year if I remember they’re on.
Time to see how boring & woke NASCAR is gonna be this year
Oh, right- the Taxi Cab Super Bowl.
Pisces: 3 of Coins reversed – Skilled labor fucking up. A guy installing a stained glass window, but dropping it from the top of the ladder.
Almost. How ’bout tree branch hitting the sunroof of the Expedition that I’ve owned for all of one week, followed by eight hours of rain?
That sucks man. Sorry.
Oof. That sucks dude.
Holy shit, that sucks. Sorry that happened, but I’m totally showing the pic to my husband and saying, “I told you so!” We bought a new truck a few years ago, and the exact make and model we wanted was on the lot, except it had a sunroof. I had to drag him away from it, saying, “No capes!” (like the Incredibles)

Mercury Retrograde https://youtu.be/-TzL83iF2jI
I think I predicted Bitcoin hits $50k over the weekend. Not there yet.
My $10 of free XLM is now worth $53 (including the $4 of BAT I transfered to XLM last week)
I’d like to get a couple grand into XLM before it gets to $0.75.
Carrying over from the dead thread, Count Potato provided two interesting topics of discussion: one, on Slate Star Codex and Scott Alexander (comment #24), and the other on “The Market for Cruelty” and thus indirectly Curtis Yarvin aka Moldbug (comment #38). I’d link to the original context but I’d like to save my 2 links for another purpose.
Following those rabbit holes, I ran across Contra Weyl on Technocracy (Alexander) and then Moldbug’s very long winded assessment of it, Scott Alexander, the disappointed lover.
Without biasing too much, the post by Scott was the first one where I stopped partway through and didn’t immediately intend to reread later (I still probably should) whereas I made it several thousand words into Moldbug’s bit before he got to the meat. Both are interesting reads, but will take a good chunk out of your day.
@GT Since you’re in the comments I was wondering how the reading/opinion writing was going
*In the comments as opposed to off doing real life things.
I got through about Part 16, I think, but started to feel a bit lost. No fault of the writing – I suspect it was trying to read in fits & starts during lulls at work. Started over, jotting down notes re: important action that happens in each part. Back through Part 6. Will follow up with comments soon by e (but probably not until after the NASCAR race unless there’s a LONG caution.)
Thanks.
Yeah, reading in small snippets doesn’t make it easy to follow a plot.
Looking forward to my day off tomorrow to make a lot more progress. If it snows as much as they’re predicting, I can hope for another day off on Tuesday…though that would make posting our staff payroll…problematic.
My mother got me a chef’s knife for christmas (which I only got this weekend) I was sort of surprised that among my collection of cutlery and my love of cooking, I didn’t actually own that form factor of knife.
Anyway, when I’m visiting my mother among the background noise that is typically on is cooking shows. One in particular has an individual who hates a grip I mentally dubbed indexing, and advocates what I mentally dubbed the chef’s grip. I also derieded both as silly and too far forward. Fast forward to me chopping beets for borsht, seeing how the new knife performs, and I notice that I’ve always been using the chef’s grip. Now I’m retroactively embarassed.
retroactively embarrassed
Takes a big man to say that; good for you. You shut me down once on that point when all I was guilty of was knowing what I was talking about and having decades of experience. But that’s the price one pays to even darken the back benches of Glibdom, and it’s past.
Now we can go back to arguing about sharpening. I sharpened my grandfather’s stockman, my chef’s knife, hollow-edge cleaver, and two paring knives and had the Arkansas cleaned and put away in 20 minutes. Pro tip: wash your stones; they fill up with the the steel you’re taking off . . . your rock actually dulls if you don’t clean out those pores.
You’re going to have to provide a link to any time I argued with you on proper knife grips. Because I never voiced these opinions.
I certainly apologize if I misread you then
UnCivilServant on May 28, 2020, 2:13 PM There is nothing right about that grip except that they’re on the handle end

Now we can go back to arguing about sharpening.
I’ve never been patient enough for sharpening free hand. Results have always been horrid. I just got a lansky kit and hit the chef’s knife with it a few days ago. Mediocre results, but not the horrid edge I was used to. Did some research and realized that I wasn’t going to ruin the knife with some pressure on the stone. Retried again today, and it was sharp enough to put a big old cut across a finger when I was being stupid. Not quite as sharp as I want, but close.
So far, so good with the lansky kit.
Get this book — it changed my life:
https://www.leevalley.com/en-ca/shop/tools/books-and-dvds/32991-the-complete-guide-to-sharpening?item=73L0155
First book on sharpening tools/knives I ever saw that used electron microscope photographs of edges to back up its claims about the best ways to sharpen virtually anything. Oh, and try not to get lost in the drool-worthy goodness that is the remainder of the Lee Valley site (I’m an addict, myself).
So… Worst Cooks in America, and Chef Ann Burrell? Considering she walks around with a red sharpie to mark the people on her team who hold the knife with the index finger out.
I’m also embarassed to have seen the show, which is why I talked around it.
It’s a guilty pleasure of mine. I’ve picked up a couple of tips from watching it, I can’t stand the celebrity editions though.
There’s still a guilty part of guilty pleasure.
It’s a fun show, at times. The celebrity ones are shit and sometimes they cast more for stupid than for “seeks knowledge” but otherwise…
Borscht is done enough for me to try a bowl.
I decided to finally use my japanese bowls, because what’s the point of having bought them if I never use any.
It’s tasty, but I missed the part of the instructions where some of the veggies are grated.
So, we are shutting down the plant tonight because we can’t get natural gas. I have been trying to figure out why, but I haven’t found anything. Increased demand due to the cold snap I guess.
I have worked at my plant since 2013, and I have never seen us cease operations for anything other than planned maintenance outages. This is wierd.
We are also shutting down while the temp is in single digits. Thawing her out and getting everything back moving is going to be a real bitch.
Read this:
https://www.zerohedge.com/energy/energy-emergency-texas-power-provider-warns-rotating-outages-cold-weather-tests-limits-grid
Spot prices for NatGas in some areas of the U.S. are expected to hit $9,000 (no, that is not a mis-print!) on Monday and Tuesday. Many well-heads in the U.S. are frozen, choking off supply just when demand’s spiking. Spot NatGas was $3.46 a week ago, and touched over $377.00 on Friday last.
At nine grand USD per Million BTUs, operating your furnaces is economic insanity.
Holy shit. Thats crazy. I spent some time looking last night and was unable to come up with anything. Makes sense now.
A lot of the power plants around here are natural gas fired. I wonder how they will be able to operate.
if we lose gas, we are dead, Mushrooms don’t do well in the winter up here, we are talking a 15 million dollar operation, crushed instantly, you’re scaring me…..
Depends where on the distribution grid you are. If you’re getting most of your NatGas from Canadian sources, you’ll be fine. (We’re used to operating wellheads in cold temperatures . . . 😉 ).
A lot of the power plants around here are natural gas fired. I wonder how they will be able to operate.
A combination of “rolling brown/black-outs” and/or “rate riders on all of their customers’ bills after the spot price settles down,” I should guess. Either way, it ain’t gonna be pretty.
Wow. My boss was talking about resuming operations Tuesday morning. I wonder if this ends up lasting a lot longer than that.
Return to normalcy.
The coming assault on energy certainly won’t make things better.
It’s like a preview of what Biden and friends have in store for us permanently.
We can fix this if we stop fracking, quit drilling on federal land and get rid of pipelines.
a few thoughts that might or might not apply
a) Spot prices shouldn’t matter to a buyer (factory) with futures in hand: those must be satisfied and delivered as a matter of securities law. Little retail people have no savior but their PUC, but a futures contract is a sacred thing in the oil field and at the SEC. I would expect your plant to be taking delivery on NG it bought at $2 a year ago.
b) I bet your actual delivery is very close to the futures base price: hell, you’re on the way to Erath and might even save someone several hundred miles’ pumping.
c) Most American NG is wet: full of various hydrocarbon liquids and even water, so the first thing you’ve got to do right off the wellhead is dry it off, and that starts by, get this, cooling it below subterranean temps. First you get the water off at high pressure, then the rest of the dinosaur juice off at low pressure, then you run to the compressor and pump on down the line. Thus endeth the “upstream” portion of the business. What this leads me to guess is that the delivery problem with NG has nothing to do with “production” temperatures; it may be real and it may be demand or logistics, but the wells are on balance doing what they were planned to do in February. This is not anyone’s first rodeo or winter.
d) The well ges paid by the midstream boys for dry NG by the BTU. MM is old school for a million, so, say, $3/MMBTU. Most NG comes in at 1,000 BTU per cubic foot, so some folks will talk price as $3 per MCF (thousand cubic feet) really the same thing within a percent, but not the legal thing.
shutting down the plant tonight because we can’t get natural gas.
That is bizarre.
We use a ton of gas. Our re heat furnace alone is natural gas fired and is capable of 24 million BTUs. Not to mention our oxy/gas burners on the arc furnaces and our 3 heat treat furnaces.
I have never heard of a time when OG&E has been unable to supply us.
Mid-West city?
Ft. Smith Ar.
Is Ft Chaffee still a thing? I drove past there about 10 years ago. 65 years ago I got an Arkansas vacation there for a few months, American plan? Food and clothing furnished.
The press finally gets to go back to doing what they love most and do best
On a mission to rebuild institutional norms and help heal a hurting nation, Joe and Jill Biden are trying something novel after four years of the Trumps: a little tenderness.
Since Inauguration Day last month, the first couple have been conspicuous in their frequent public displays of affection, from a fleeting kiss before boarding Marine One to a cozy morning stroll among oversized candy hearts on the White House North Lawn.
The romantic gestures between the Bidens — who are spending Valentine’s Day weekend with family at Camp David — are representative not only of their resilient, 43-year marriage, but also of the new president’s self-proclaimed “tactile” style of interpersonal communication.
Lick that Presidential ass. Lick it good.

Nailed it.
A little something lovely for a change of pace. One of my favourite studio models:
https://www.glibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/pose-65.jpg
who dat? she purty, a bit thicc is fine,
A bit thicc? I’m a “bit thicc” – that beautiful woman with the fabulous hair is completely normal-sized.
I can tell by the arms, Men know these things, and you are just about the right kind of thicc IMO,
Don’t be jealous of her hair in this image — it’s one of my studio wigs (although she does pull it off really well!). And you’re right — the impression you get from her when she’s wearing more form-fitting clothes is one of healthy and strong, not thicc.
Her natural hair’s good, too. We were just screwing around that session. Had a lot of fun.
I was actually refarining from saying terrible things about the hair.
But since it’s just a wig…
Women have given me a lot of positive comments on that wig over the years, particularly ladies who are fighting the grey themselves. One or two have used the wig as inspiration to get their own hair coloured and cut like it.
I think it’s quite a charming treatment, myself, which is why I invested money in it. I have about ten wigs or so, but I need a few more. Mebbe when our moral and intellectual betters allow us peons to actually socialize with each other again, so, I dunno, 2025?
In this case I’m just being snarky. Everything past the elipsis is what I have to say about the wig.
She’s my avatar at the moment.
And this is her in a Rembrandt kind of treatment:

I love the style & salt & pepperiness
An old friend who has posed for me from time-to-time. Those arms aren’t from fat — she’s strong like bull (a personal trainer). Really nice lady, too.

Today in manufactured outrage: Daughter of Lombardi Trophy Designer Wants an Apology from Tom Brady
https://nypost.com/2021/02/13/daughter-of-lombardi-trophy-designer-wants-apology-from-tom-brady/
Apparently Tampa held a boat parade to mark the Bucs’ Superbowl victory. During this parade, a drunked-up Tom Brady tossed the Lombardi Trophy to someone in another boat.
“Groh told the network that Brady’s trophy toss made her so upset that she had sleepless nights over the fact he treated the passion her father put into the trophy so lightly.”
What this country needs at this precise moment is more airtime for attention-starved, mentally fragile hysterics.
Football is over, Brady just acknowledged it,
HA HA!
Don’t tell her the stories of what all has happened to the Stanley Cup.
So I have heard, like some Led Zeppelin stories,
I miss this discussion earlier.
The fact that anyone even bothered to write this down is emblematic of everything that is wrong with our country right now. Some reporter actually thought it was worth finding out what this lady thought of it. Some editor thought that it was worth publishing. What the hell is happened to us?
If anyone apologizes for this, they need to be smacked in the head.
First, she has every right to be proud that her grandfather built something that people recognize. But that’s about it. She didn’t build anything. And he was hired to do a job. He did it and he got paid. I cannot imagine that he would have a similar reaction, but if he did he’d be just as nutty as she is. The guy who built my sedan doesn’t get to decide whether or not my use of it is appropriate. That’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard.
It’s bad enough that these sniveling, weak-minded, narcissistic douchebags exist in our society. But I’m starting to think that people who pay them attention are worse.
It is this sort of thing that leads to real consequences. Like that comeuppance That the associate White House press secretary got for being mean to a woman reporter.
Leaving aside the gleeful just desserts that we all feel for these people eating their own, some random third-party reporters felt like they were entitled to this guy’s head on a platter because he was mean to a reporter. Because she was a woman!
these people are muddled and they’re beneath contempt. Women can be reporters just like men! But they’re wilting flowers who cannot handle people speaking to them harshly!
Look, if you can’t handle some guy getting pissed off because you’re asking questions about his private life and who he hooked up with in the past, you shouldn’t be a reporter. Of course he’s going to snap at you and say mean things. You’re digging in and trying to wreck his life. it deserves someone saying mean things to you.
This is the world today. If someone’s a conservative and they point out that violence against people you disagree with is a bad thing, but they do it using a metaphor to Nazi Germany, they should never work again! In fact, they are probably literally Hitler!
This stupid reporter thought it was her job to bring some guy down because she found out about who he might have had relationships with, then proceeds to use the fact that he said mean things to her in response to in fact actually bring him down. And the mob is okay with this?
At some point people have to quit apologizing. Trump showed the way on this. you don’t even acknowledge their stupidity. You don’t play their game. You don’t stand there looking ashamed as they repeat your off-handed joke in somber tones, opining as to just how serious it is. You flip them off and you keep going. That is the only way to handle this stuff. And until the nation at large starts doing that, we are doomed.
Well, the WH staffer was in a highly unethical relationship, and threatened somebody who was going to reveal it. Through that lens, he should absolutely be gone.
Didn’t hear that part…. What was unethical?
Asst press secretary in an undisclosed relationship with a reporter – I can see some ethical concerns.
Guess what I am putting in today’s Gumbo. It starts with B and ends with ay leaves.
Naggers?
It’s Hitler isn’t it.
Bitler? OK sure,
I’m-a put a bay leaf in my PF Chang’s frozen orange chicken just to spite the anti-bay leafers.
“Now I’m a bay-leafer. Not a trace of doubt in my mind…”

I don’t have one it the Borscht, but it wasn’t part and parsley of the recipe.

Holy crap, that is brilliant.
An attempt to replace the HDMI cable behind the wall was unsuccessful. The HDMI cable in place is not bad–passes thru 4k–but not modern enough for HDMI ARC. Too many cables go thru a small opening in a plastic box buried in the wall. Sad.
Why was the cable embedded in the wall?
To have a TV hanging on the wall without visible cables. The cable is loose, not exactly embedded, but the end of the HDMI cable is too wide.
cut in a Tiger box next to your existing box, route the wires through it, problem solved,
That will probably work but I wasn’t prepared for it today.
I think they’re finally about to go fast and turn left. ::picks up long-neglected yarn project:: Now I have to teach myself how to crochet all over again.
Finally…sheesh! Go Clint!

I thought slut shaming was forbidden.

+1 for the use of “tart” while not referring to a dessert.
Cool link, bro.
The best. The finest links.
Jeezus they are really pushing Bubba Wallace. He’s not a good enough driver to overcome his being a complete woke douchebag, gize. I hope he wrecks and is forced to drive around the track with no front end just to make points.
I’ve noticed he’s now the spokesperson for a brave and socially conscious auto insurance start-up.
You could be an F1 fan – the one driver pushing wokeness is Lewis Hamilton – just imagine how successful he’d be if systemic racism wasn’t keeping him down (for non-F1 fans, Hamilton has just won the world drivers’ championship 4 years running, 7 times overall [tied for most] and is favored to repeat).
F1 was pretty much the only sports I watched over the past year. While it had a bit of woke bullshit at the very beginning, it was almost not mentioned by the broadcasters the entire season. I was happy to see my favorite driver Verstappen not participate in the kneeling bs before the first race of the season. In six weeks my cable contract is going to expire and I am switching to internet only. Sports were really the only thing I watched on tv channels and they done fucked that up with their race hustling. Hope I can find F1 somehow on the net (I usually watch it Sunday evening taped anyways). You got into it the past season then, huh?
Poor Derrick Cope
Yup. I gotta say that blue Corvette pace car is Gorgeous.
