Is there a better source for this info? This sounds damning.

Yeah. Being in an are during wildfire season, it’s wild how grim the world looks with that lighting. Really surreal when you’re actually in it for a week or more.

Is there anything to prevent an accidental press on Stop? This is one of the things I actually prefer about the current setup.

Yep. I think if they didn’t respawn or respawned way less I might have really enjoyed that game.

Elite handled its hard sci-fi really well. I was never taken out of the immersion due to lore or believability.

Seth MacFarlane gets crap for his writing style, but I’m totally a sucker for it. I especially enjoy when he’s on screen. 1000 Ways to Die in the West and The Orville are amazing works from him that I thoroughly enjoy. I really wish he did more live action work.

Every game is just an HD rerelease of Pong.

…in a forest when they come across an old abandoned barn. They quickly run inside, with maybe seconds to spare before their pursuers catch up to the group.

Thinking quickly on their feet, one of them hops in an old potato sack. “Follow my lead!” The other two immediately grab their own bags and hide.

Moments later, the cops burst through the doors and begin looking for clues. One of them sees the pile of potato sacks and motions for one of the other officers. “I think I’ve got something.”

He kicks the first bag.

WOOF WOOF

“Oh. Weird. Just a dog.” They see another bag nearby and kick it as well.

REEEER

“Nah. Just a cat.”

They come across the final bag, about to give up and move on with their search, when they give it one last kick.

POTATOES

I put together an article of my first-hand account of what it was like to see a Formula 1 event, plus some of my proudest pictures.

 

Spotted this at my local flea market. My first VFD display!

 
 

I have to reject any that don’t make the cut.

 

Everyone knows all the classic stuff you hear in karaoke bars, but I always enjoy artists that can make lyrics that you love singing along to.

I’m not necessarily talking about the best lyrics or the most thoughtful, but the ones that you love belting out with confidence even when a friend is in the car. Think Bohemian Rhapsody scene from Wayne’s World.

I’m curious if there are some lesser-known artists that are just as fun to sing along to, but never got their time on the radio.

 

This is only my test picture. I’ll be posting a full album from my DSLR later next week.

It is insane just how big these events are and how surprisingly well organized everything has been. Really impressed overall with how alive everything has been.

I had earplugs plus noise canceling headphones on and the engines were still clear as day. Absolutely insane how fast they go. GA is sat right around the sphere and it’s a pretty heavy breaking zone. Even then, trying to track the cars for a good shot proved really challenging. Definitely pushed my skills.

And totally unrelated, but I also learned OneRepublic is responsible for like 90% of the modern pop radio that I hate. So that was fun to sit through…

 
 

I’ll be going to see the Las Vegas GP. I’ve never been to a Formula 1 race and don’t know what to expect from the days surrounding the race. Are there any tips you wish you knew before going the first time? I plan on going to the full race weekend and not sure what to bring to make my stay more comfortable. Also, any tips on stops I should make in that area of Vegas while I’m there?
