Sadly. I left the bar when y’all went up, mostly sure Evil Man Tom was done with his reign of terror

I’m of the opinion that I’m going to always expect the worst, and then be surprised and happy lol. It’s been a tough few years.

As a Titans fan…no need to tune in. Gonna be an Ass-tier game.

Roczen finally did it. I swore he won a championship in SX before but I was mistaken. Just felt like he’d been there before. After his insane crash in 2017, re-injury in 2018, and then just general struggle for consistency and stamina, it’s nice to see him win. Also I’ve been dying for an old man championship for a while now with Tomac, and we finally get one for Ken. Hopefully Eli is good for start of MX, nasty crash in the heat has me worried for his already injured hip.

Hunter rode well, but Ken played it right biding his time instead of sprinting out and gassing himself. Hunter went down chasing, and that was that. Sexton win going until MX, Prado continues to look more comfortable each week, I think he is going to be a monster in MX.

Cole Davies and Deegan Rd 2 and Davies wins. Makes contact on his own, to the body, and muscles Deegan out. Deegan comes back and folds himself. I think we’ll see a bit of this in his first year or 2 on 450, but I’ve been wrong before. Cole looked great, and Star Yamaha is firmly in the spot Pro Circuit Kawasaki used to hold where they won everything.

To give a little more nuanced answer, I don’t think these are really mutually separate at this moment. They may not always be allies in the future but I think given current mechanisms, they’re pretty intertwined with each other and will be for the foreseeable future.

Yes

I mean I guess technically racing motorcycles. However it’s more of a circumstance thing, getting back into it would take, pretty easily, almost $10k. So I’m getting into MTB and BMX instead now. I absolutely will be back into it the second I’m able to though, up until very recently, I’d spent more years on a motorcycle than off of one. Age 4 to probably 23 I raced. 0-4 and 23-35 I haven’t. Miss it dearly every day, but I’m still very involved in it when I can watch it in-person.

Oh also, last race til GP of France 24th of May.

Forgot to post last week. Regardless, 1 point separates Roczen over Lawrence for the championship going into the finale. Winner wins. I’d love to take Roczen, but idk. His luck just always seems to die in must-win situations, but Hunter is no stranger to bad luck this season or in general. Will be exciting either way.

Tomac came back and looked good. Prado is dialing in starts and I think is going to be a monster outdoors that people aren’t expecting. JCoop and Webb may have some looming battles as well, speed is very similar.

Deegan won again, surprise. Will be interesting to see what he does on 450 outdoor. I was amped for outdoors last season and that fizzled quick. Maybe this year will be different? So many fast dudes. 450 just continually gets stacked deeper and deeper. You’ll have a stupidly strong top 20 this year where I think 10 guys have the ability to win, and it wouldn’t be that surprising.

Then yeah, that’s at least pretty weird. Is it like…HS logos on it, clearly a high school uniform? Or is it like…work casual clothes that just also happen to meet uniform requirements?

Lol he’s had quite a few issues on previous set ups. I think he has already broken 2 previous engines, but I think they were R1 engines? Don’t quote me on that tho

Herlings is still that dude. Guy just looks stupid fast still, but…Lucas Coenen looks better when he isn’t on the ground. Vialle still solid, Gajser finally showed up. Good to see Kay de Wolf showing up too; I was expecting way more from him.

250s are basically Sacha Coenen show I think. Langenfelder is lacking something right now, Farres being the surprise 3rd right now I think. Everts still likes crashing a bit too much, but he’s looked good when he’s up. Reisulis in a year or 2 I think will be the top guy. He just keeps getting better.

Tomac getting hurt is huge. Big shakeup, and basically turns this into a 2 horse race in the last 3 rounds. Kenny still looking very solid, and this may be the best he’s looked since his wild 2017 injury. Idk if he has the straight speed to beat Hunter, but he’s way more consistent currently. It’ll be interesting to see how it shakes out. Gotta mention JCoop too, guy has been solid lately. Just wish he’d find this at the beginning of the season.

250 was pretty wild. Thrasher pulling it out, just another guy who has speed and no consistency. Landen Gordon being a rookie pulling out 2nd is everything Dudney was unable to put together earlier. Both are young, both will still have shots, but Gordon looks great. Hammaker down 21, unless Davies fully tosses a race away. Guy has the worst luck I think.

I guess it depends on the uniform. Plental of people wear college sports jerseys or other stuff displaying their Alma mater, but I guess thay isn’t strictly a “uniform”. If you’re wearing the designated, every day uniform if a high school or something as an adult well past the age, then I wonder what the motives for it are.

I’ve really liked this dudes stuff for a while. I don’t follow him specifically but he’s just the right level of knowledgeable, sarcastic, and self-deprecating that it’s entertaining. Plus he’s doing some interesting stuff

Concerning shock would be that you find it hard to let go; the current causes muscles to contract and your hand to close, and you actively have to make yourself let go. Appliances and household voltage can do so, but there is no mistaking it when it happens, and it’s not something you just brush off, especially if it happens repeatedly. And then why would you be the only one experiencing it?

I’d be having people recreate your conditions; if you open it early, length of time, close time proximity to when it occurs. What would you think the cause is, if not something similar to faulty appliance?

I don’t think that’s biology. Old CRT style TVs used to emit a really high pitch frequency, and from the ground floor, I could hear if the basement TV was on. With laptops, if it’s an older one or you have a bad power supply, you may be smelling ozone and that’d your queue, or if your room is small with little to no circulation, you may just be sensitive to the heat coming off it. As for the microwave, it may be faulty or ungrounded. If you were getting shocked by a running microwave, I do not think it would be like a static shock where you just get a little crack. They don’t deal with low power or voltage, it would be a concerning shock that you receive.

Is it just the slight vibration-type shock? I had a laundry dryer with a bad fuse be “live” one time, where if you touched it, you’d be getting shocked, but it was low voltage. But with the regular machine vibration and due to it not being a really powerful shock, it was hard to notice, plus like a microwave, when you pop the door, it largely turns off. The machine vibration coupled with the low power shock, I legitimately didn’t know it was shocking me for like…a few weeks. Because it was such a quick interaction with the machine, if you even touched it while it was on in the first place, it’d be hard to notice.

Yeah, we’re not starting off on a solid foundation, for sure

Concord didn’t last long enough for anyone to notice anything lol

I mean, we’re all rational here, I assume, so that would be a pretty big stretch to say it was shoved down your throat. If you wouldn’t feel threatened by a dude at the store saying you looked cute, then I don’t think BG3 is any worse. The women throw themselves at you equally as quickly as the men, if not more so. Lazel seems like she hates you, and then by like Day 2 is like “well, we may as well smash, you do well with a sword and that’s what counts”.
