re: 2023 Formula 1 season Thread

WCC:
1. Ferrari
2. Red Bull
3. Mercedes
4. Aston Martin
5. Alpine
6. Haas
7. McLaren
8. Alpha Tauri
9. Alfa Romeo
10. Williams

WDC:
1. Max
2. Charles
3. Hamilton
4. Sainz
5. Russell
6. Alonso
7. Gasly
8. Ocon
9. Checo
10. Norris
11. Ric
12. Stroll
13. Hulk
14. Bottas
15. KMag
16. Piastri
17. Zhou
18. Albon
19. DeVries
20. Sargeant
21. Yuki

As a couple have stated with their picks, I don't know if my WDC and WCC could even work out but I also believe Mercedes and Ferrari will be closer this year. Alonso and Gasly will sneak some good performances in there. This will cause Horner to make a late change around race 14-15 to Ric. Yuki will still be doing Yuki things, so Red Bull will move Checo down to that car for the final 8-9 races to see if he can bring some stability and points with DeVries.

The late season change will bring a surge for Red Bull but not enough to pass Ferrari. Checo gets some late points for AT and is able to get AT from 10th to 8th.

This is also all BS hopes and wishes. But as an added bonus, I'll throw in a win total for everyone:
Max: 12
Charles: 4 (finally gets Monaco)
Sainz: 2
Hamilton: 2
Russell: 1
Alonso/Gasly: 1 (strategy/retirements)
Ric: 1 (Austin or Singapore)

In Louisville for a music festival. In particular, we are staying on the east side of Louisville. Does anyone of any suggestions on places that are must east while we are here for the week?

Thanks in advance for the help!
What racing wheel does everyone recommend? I started getting back into racing games again. Picked Forza Horizon back up, really like F1 2020, and messed around with the newest need for speed a little bit. Haven't bought a racing wheel since the 360 days. F1 especially I just really feel like I'd enjoy it that much more with a wheel instead of a controller.
I just got through for both on Best Buy. Both just popped up on Sam's Club
That's what I figure as well, especially with the rumors and timed exclusivity of GTA. This would be their fire back. But they may view putting them on game pass day 1 to be along the same lines as timed exclusivity.

There are also rumors they met with bungie about re-adding them and giving them more creative control over destiny than what Activision gave them and teaming up with 343 to fix Halo. Would make sense with everything they've talked about with Halo Infinite online sounding like what bungie has done with destiny 2 since leaving Activision.

You now also have obsidian and Bethesda under same umbrella for fallout remasters and new games if Microsoft can get them to play nice together
Phil Spencer came out and said Deathloop and Ghostwire will be honored as PS exclusives. But all future Bethesda games will be evaluated for non Xbox consoles on a "case by case basis."
Boom. Got one! Nice heads up. nowinstock.net has been a letdown with this pre-order cycle so far.

I managed to make it to Fleet Feet in Monroe. They didn't have any Adrenaline 20s in stock, but they did have the Ghost 12s. Tried on a few different shoes, but will say the Ghost fit like a glove. Interested in ordering a pair of Adrenalines to try as well to get a rotation in if they fit well. Strongly considering order an extra pair of Ghosts too though. :lol:

It is insane how much better my body feels after a couple runs in them vs what I have been doing in my ultraboost this whole time.

Now that I have a good shoe for running on the road, track, or treadmill. I was curious would anyone recommend getting a trail shoe? I have a marine buddy who wants to run 3-4 miles a day/3 day per week. But he runs out in the country on trail routes and gravel roads. As I am still very new to this, didn't know if it would be worth looking into a trail shoe.

Has anyone used Run Wild in Alexandria or Shreveport or Fleet Feet in Monroe?

I will start by saying I am relatively new to running. Was over 300 lbs a year ago. A lot of dietary changes plus working my way up to walking around 16-20 miles on a given day on top of weightlifting. Sitting around 195 now. But I have been working on running. All I have are ultraboost which I mainly have because I wear them for everything as the cushioning is comfortable as a pharmacist on my feet 10-12 hours per day.

I have been slowly working my way up to running my first 5k at the end of April. I can run for about 9 minutes without having to slow to a walk for a few minutes and picking it back up. Have been looking for something a little more comfortable for actual running vs everyday wear. I found this thread and curious about the locations in Monroe, Alexandria, and Shreveport as they are the closest to me.
$209? Not bad. I know before the season started, my buddies and I looked at tickets, could get row 2-3 in endzone for about $240/ticket. Indy game ended up being $150/ticket for same area. Figured seeing Mahomes vs Luck would be a decent instead of paying that extra for Rodgers/Mahomes. :lol:
lol. I was there for the game against Indy. The tomahawk chop was very much alive.

For the OP, a good bar/bbq combo joint is County Road Ice House. Sports bar feel, but serves KC Joe's BBQ there (something about the split with OK Joe's not allowing them to open traditional Joe's for so long). The place also serves tex-mex variations of his bbq such as burnt end tacos and such. Offers all the traditional beers on tap plus a few of the local brews. Directly behind the restaurant is one of the bigger entertainment squares. Last year Tec9 was there. As long as we were buying beer, they allowed us to sit on the outside deck and enjoy the show.

Places such as Jack Stack, Q39, and Gates are pretty good as well. Jack Stack had probably the best one plate of BBQ I've ever eaten, Jack's Select. It's on the more expensive side versus some of the other bbq joints. If you decide to try to go at night, you will probably want to get a reservation.

For the game experience, the place can get louder than LSU when the team is on. I mean they do have the record for loudest outdoor stadium for a reason. Everyone is really nice up there too. I go once a year and love every second of it. Even on a year like this year where the Colts beat the Chiefs, its just a great experience going there.

Best places to eat in Kansas City?

Going for the KC/Indy game October 6th. I have been trying to go to one game a year for the past couple of years. I hit up Joe's two years ago and County Road Icehouse this past year because Jack Stack had a 2 hour wait. So basically had Joe's two years in a row.

This year I'll actually have time to hit up something on Saturday night, Sunday during the day, and Monday before I leave.

I was still thinking about hitting up Jack Stack for an early lunch Sunday simply because I figure it has to be good if all locations has a two hour wait last year.

The one in Jonesboro still has them. Usually get 2 when I drive through there. Cheaper now though. Maybe $3/each. Get it in mild, spicy, or the blackened strip.
New trailers from Gamescom today. Looks like the recent story leak is accurate based on these. Should be an interesting year 3.

It's my understanding that the source material was never completed prior to Jordan's death. Is this correct?


Correct. But he had 100s of pages of notes detailing the main plot points and character arcs all the way to the end. He knew he wouldn't finish the books due to illness, so he prepared everything for another author to take over.
I was born, raised, and still live in Winnfield. These guys have no idea what they are talking about. Their chicken is basically unseasoned Southern Classic. Their dirty rice and corn fritters are pretty good. Pretty much the only thing I every get from there anymore is a burger and milkshake.

I also have no idea when they stopped by and made it through the drive thru in a hurry. They are notorious for letting people order 20-30 piece chicken meals at the window and sit there until its ready. No pull around or come back in a few minutes.

Most people around here have gotten to the point of driving 15-20 minutes to Jonesboro to get southern classic or popeyes because the chicken has gotten so bad at Brenda's.
Variations on the same challenges. Like for titans it may say kill so many Hive, Hunters so many Fallen, Warlocks so many Cabal.

I completed the Titan to Majestic. Dunno if I will masterwork. Playing that much crucible right now would suck to reset valor. Definitely not worth fooling around with to get Hunter or Warlock for me at least. Rarely play with those classes anyway.

Doesn't really seem worth it for armor that will be outclassed within a couple hours of starting Shadowkeep most likely and to get the void energy sparrow. I mainly just did it to boost my character on up since I was basically a 600 this time last week... 742 now.

Once you do get a majestic armor set, it will start dropping with different rolls from the Solstice Packages. That's kinda cool I guess.
Started back yesterday. Was nice to walk into the Solstice event and get handed 700 gear. Is the solstice gear this year going to work similar to last year where once you upgrade it to renewed it jumped from like 200 to 300 and then from 300 to 400 when going from Renewed to Majestic? For instance does it go from 700 to 725 to 750 when completing all the tasks and upgrading?
