5AF Fantasy F1 2024

As the dictator in charge, I was thinking of imposing a "you can't pick anyone from Red Bull" restriction for this season, but I decided not to. I'm now thinking that I really should have done that.

I think the tone of the SOTU was exactly what it should have been. This is not a normal election year.

He sounded like an old man who was angry and yelling because his children just took his car keys and told him that it's time to give up driving.

Non-Military Aviation

It wouldn't be Boeing's responsibility. That 777-200ER left the factory over 20 years ago, and the way the airline industry works is that airlines and not manufacturers are responsible for maintenance and repairs. That car is on United.

OMG, it's been announced that Akira Toriyama—the creator of Dragon Ball and the character designer for Chrono Trigger and every Dragon Quest / Dragon Warrior game—died of a hemorrhagic stroke on March 1 at age 68.

Anyone wanting to buy a politician would have to get in line behind big oil, big pharma, and Boeing, Raytheon, General Dynamics, Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, and every other member of the military-industrial complex. That's a horse the left the barn decades ago.

I'm thinking you probably landed on the far-west runway, 36L/18R? It's quite a way over there. Trivia: I want to say that I read that the most-distant runway at a major airport is 18R/36L at Amsterdam Schiphol Airport. It's closest end is over three miles from the terminal, and a taxi runs around 20...

In the meantime, I have a weekend of freelance work ahead of me which is the first piece of gainful employment that doesn't involve taking my clothes off since being deep-sixed in November. I hope I remember how to do this stuff.

So not for the Musk thread - but I've been thinking about this. How does a guy who leads the head of a major U.S. defense contractor get to say Joe Biden is committing Treason on X? Especially if he's meeting with Trump to be a donor? Thing seems awfully murkey there, yea? No, because we have free ...

In case anyone else was wondering, according to the NYT, the earliest Trump could mathematically clinch the Republican nomination would be March 12, when Georgia, Hawaii, Mississippi, and Washington have their primaries/caucuses, but it's more likely that it would be March 19, when Arizona, Florida,...

Thanks, is there something setup in this world that even if they passed this new law, it wouldn't pertain to Donny because of how it's current with him? Don't think so. It couldn't be a criminal statute due to the constitutional prohibition on ex post facto laws, but I suppose Congress could pass a...

Cooking and Dining

I totally disagree. Memphis style is a major style, with a focus on dry rubs for pork shoulders and ribs. If sauces are used, they tend to be tomato based but much less sweet than KC styles, with more spice. The mention that Henry Perry's barbecue sauce was originally too spicy for folks in KC so he...

It's a nice video, but he doesn't even mention Memphis barbecue, which is usually considered to be equal to Texas, KC, and Carolina as the "big four" of major barbecue styles. An odd omission.

Biden cabal talk is awful quiet when the system actually plays out how it’s designed to. What do those chuckle-heads say about the verdict? Did sleepy Joe’s absolute control falter for just a moment. :roll: Some people aren't taking it well. https://twitter.com/KeithOlbermann/status/176467235337865...

I keep seeing things saying, but they left it to states or congress to pass a law saying they can be disqualified. Isn't there something already out there saying this?

I decided to cut down on caffeine back in 2020, and as a consequence I've pretty much switched to coffee when I want a hot beverage, because IMO decaf coffee is a less terrible than decaf tea, and regardless no one makes decaf versions of the teas that I like the most, like Taiwanese oolongs.
