What's the best way to shop around?


Have someone else do it who knows what they're doing. I work through a broker that presents me options every year. I use Brown & Brown. They saved me $100k this year and I didn't have to lift a finger. Cigna was going up on me a lot. They shopped around for me and found us an equal plan with another company without me even asking.

If you're a dummy like me and need pictures, Chain Bear has a new video explaining straight line mode and overtake mode. I was admittedly still a little confused before the video.

Fbd is a OB Dale's. A classic, really.

I turn 41 today. I don't say that to get wishes. I don't care about those at this age. Rather, I say that to point out I've been posting beer pictures with you fellow gentlemen (and Zappa) since my 20's. We're getting old, yall, and I don't mind it too much.

Pirelli is removing the colored stripes on the tires. I guess teams asked for this so they won’t have to tell the other teams what tires they are starting on.


I feel like that's cutting off your nose to spite your face. That seems like it would be harder for teams to strategize if they don't know what everyone else is on.
Always keep a small roll in your vehicle. You may never need it, but that one time you do need it, man, it's worth more than gold.

Will probably end up on the Apple broadcast.


Apple seems to be handling F1 right so far, so hopefully not.

Not a bad little piece of hardware. I'm all-in on Windows, so no, I won't be getting one.

Seems odd it doesn't have one USB-A port. C is better, but there are still tons of devices out there that come with A because of the costs associated with C.
Removing the rover journey drama and adding Ironman are my only gripes about The Martian movie/book adaptation. Otherwise, it was a great adaptation, imo. I kind of get why they dropped the rover journey. It was already a 2 1/2 hour movie without it, and there wasn't a lot that could have been cut out before that. I'm still puzzled why they added Ironman.

If you've read Ian Fleming's books, Dalton very likely plays the role the most like the character Fleming created


I love License to Kill. Pure 80's awesomenes.
I have my initial pics in. Spread it around a little to hopefully gain some points here or there, but I'm not expecting much from my pics.

why do commercial bank loans take a few months


A phase 1 and appraisal have been my only hangups, and that hasn't been months. Maybe a week or two. Are you using a large, national bank,or a local/regional bank?
Man, I haven't thought about that underwater TMNT level in a long, long time. frick that level. It usually took me two or three turtles to get through that level. I'd always waste Raphael and Mikee on it because they're combat range sucked.

It's interesting how far back this legend goes. Both Asian and North Americans had this belief, which means Native Americans brought it over with them in the ice age when they crossed the Bering Strait.

That's certainly a take.
Must be nice to suck at your job and get paid $13 million.

WEC just cancelled their race in Qatar scheduled for 3/26.


They need to cancel it permanently. While it's marginally better for WEC than F1, it's still a shitty track for a season debut. The only reason it's better for WEC is the multi-class aspect causes some chaos.

I'd be fine with only 200 million or so.


Don't throw out the baby with the bath water. Less people sounds good on paper, but our economy would be in the shitter with only 200 million people.

Globally, we're not far off from what is believed to be peak population. Depends on who you ask, but we are projected to peak in the middle to second half of this century somewhere in the neighborhood of 9-10 billion. Kind of crazy to think we may be alive at peak population.

So, is that Tehran night or US night. I'm not expecting anything either way, but it'd be nice to know what they meant. It's currently 12:30 am in Tehran. They better get a move on.

Algarve is one of my all-time favorite sim tracks (along with Silverstone and Suzuka)


You're a psycho :lol: I can tolerate Portimao and Suzuka in GT3 simraces, but I can't stand those two tracks on LMP2 and Hypercar. Silverstone is the exact opposite. I can't stand it for GT3 races. LMP2 is awesome there.
