@89th said in "A suspicious death": I've seen the video, it's gnarly. Yeah, that's the understatement of the week.

@jon-nyc said in The Rabbit Tactic (1500M speedskating strategy): I’m not a racing fan, F1, NASCAR or Indy. I seem to think you were the guy who described F1 as a niche-sport in the middle of a discussion about baseball or American League Cornholing or something.

@LuFins-Dad said in The answer is "No".: Andretti agreed to pay $200,000,000 in fees to the existing 10 teams The annual budget cap for a single team is 135 million, so that wouldn't make that much difference over 3 years. I don't agree with turning them down, but I'm pretty sure the reason wasn't because anybody thought Andretti would win any races. Maybe the back-marker teams didn't want to get beat, which would probably happen, but Red Bull, Mercedes, Ferrari and McClaren probably aren't that worried. I don't really understand it, to be honest. F1 has clearly been desperate to try and bring in interest in the US for the sport, and the owning company is American.

@George-K said in The "Squad" is having a bad week.: Who? I can think of a few, but... Basically the few you can think of. You want to walk into a Republican’s office and ask them to put their name between AOC and Omar? Or a Dem to sign between Gaetz and MTG?

Saw that one yesterday or today. Interesting stuff.

Holy crap… Taylor Swift tickets are almost as expensive, and there are hundreds of those concerts every year… And no, not a swiftie, looked up for an argument with my son’s girlfriend [image: 1706735747355-9b9613a0-ffe1-4590-90f3-aae5803bbf16.png]

@Doctor-Phibes said in The worst betrayal: It's hard to understand the kind of corporate thought process that led to that being a thing. Not if you understand corporate.

It’s so bad, that they posted this topic on our forum twice!

@Klaus I actually purchased one for a few dollars from a salvage yard.

@taiwan_girl said in China's hackers: Jolly, I agree with what you said. (THough I am not really followed the current impeachment, so that I am not sure. Doing bad at your job is not necessarily something to be impeached for. Fired, yes. Impeached, hmm I don't know.) Anyway, somebody needs to be adult in the room and it looks like neither party is wanting to be that adult. The only person that can fire Mayorkas is Biden. The only tools Congress has is the power of the purse and impeachment.

Big dogs lead shorter lives. Guys know the danger of the sport going in. It's not IF you get hurt, but how much and when...Even at the high school level. I think that the NFL should do a couple of things: Standardize their dementia definition to the rest of Medicine. Limit career concussions. X number and you're retired.

Maybe the speed restrictors that California is proposing is the answer. https://nodebb.the-new-coffee-room.club/topic/29281/slow-down-in-california?_=1706711269010

To be fair, the Chief Diversity and Inclusion Officer (CDIO) has a really tough set of job duties: Hang up flags in cafes that mark them as Safe Spaces. Hire people that do not have European ancestry.
