    Any F1 racing fans?

    Yeah, I was following Alonzo moving to Aston Martin, but it certainly didn't impress me. For Alonso, it seems a bit of a downgrade from Alpine. I don't mean for this to sound critical, but I think he is simply trying to stay relevant. I would guess that driving for any Lawrence Stroll team would...

    Ferrari strategists (in your best Italian accent): “It is pronounced screw-de-ria”. What a shitshow. They used to blame it all on Arrivabene, but apparently it is systematic.

    Any F1 racing fans?

    Looks like Sebastian Vettel has announced he is retiring at the end of this season. A little mixed on this one. While Seb is certainly not the same driver he was a few years back, I still think he is better than 5 or 6 of the drivers currently occupying seats. I just don’t feel he was able to...

    Any F1 racing fans?

    That was a fun race. When Verstappen pitted the first time, I said “Ferrari has got to widen the gap to about 28 seconds and then pit Leclerc”. I no more got that out of my mouth than Leclerc put it in the wall. I yelled at the TV. My daughter asked me what happened and I told her that he...

    The Terminal List

    Dang. Tough crowd. I know nothing about the book series, but I have thoroughly enjoyed the Amazon series thus far…..after somewhere around the 2nd or 3rd episode. The first episode really was tough to get through and I almost passed. The first 10 minutes were brutal. I haven’t finished the...

    Any Instagram users here? Could use your help.

    I certainly appreciate your concern and the point you were trying to make (I know this sounds sarcastic, but it isn't....I appreciate anyone who has a legitimate concern for anyone in my family). You (and I'm sure others who have posted) were so eager to drive home a point that they made one...

    Any Instagram users here? Could use your help.

    Hmmmmm That’s strange. I don’t remember asking for anyone’s opinion. I asked for their index finger to click a button on their mouse/phone screen. No opinions requested, just the exercising of some fine motor skills. In fairness, I am also aware that people offer their unsolicited opinion...

    Everyone has their opinion, but this is where the line needs to be drawn you jerk. You made quite a leap with this one. I will fully admit, I might not have lived a life like yours, so I haven’t seen many “hookers”. But your hyperbolic comment is foolish and uncalled for. My daughter certinaly...

    Any Instagram users here? Could use your help.

    Some of you guys are full of more crap than a Christmas turkey. I have a daughter who is has been in dance since she was 3, pageants since she was 4, cheer since she was in 1st grade. She has literally made straight A’s in every class since 1st grade. She volunteers her time to help the needy...

    Tell me about it. Having a daughter so involved in these pageants, my entire life feels weird.

    Any Instagram users here? Could use your help.

    Because I am a dad that loves his daughter, I’m asking any and all Hide members who are Instagram users to go like my daughter’s photo for an upcoming pageant….. Edit: But apparently I have seen the error of my ways. I should have known better, but had a momentary lapse in judgment.

    Any F1 racing fans?

    Just watched qualifying. Ferrari and Red Bull look much stronger than the rest of the field at this point. Happy to see K Mag come out of nowhere to replace Maz and then take P7….in a Haas….and only running 1 lap in both Q2 and Q3. McLaren really regressed (or maybe didn’t progress) after...

    Any structural engineers around?

    I'm not 100% sure, but I think his intent is to invert the beams from the as-photographed position so that the "truss framing" is pointing towards the creek. This assumption is based off his statement of using "milled utility poles" as the driving surface. I assume he would have no room to...

    Any structural engineers around?

    Wow. Hate I missed this one. It is odd because I had a former friend from high school call me about a VERY similar project a few weeks back except he also wanted to pull (in addition to large tractors) fully-loaded semis across the bridge during peanut season. He was looking at some old W8s of...

    Biden to ban Russian oil. Get ready for $10.00 gas.

    I just gave “Ol Joe” a call and asked him his plan to combat these crazy gas prices. Thankfully, he does have a plan. He told me he planned to roll out a new stump speech in the next few days calling on Congress to raise the minimum wage to $27.50 per hour because $15 just doesn’t even cover...

    Any F1 racing fans?

    Followed it a little. Most teams are sandbagging a little, in my opinion. I was glad to see Ferrari and McLaren with strong showings. I saw some slow-no videos of the cars “porpoising”. In particular it was a Ferrari that really caught my attention. That has got to be a weird feeling. I...

    Someone needs to explain Pete Davidson to me

    Pete Davidson looks like a heroin overdose that has either happened, or is waiting to happen. He is not funny. I've watched a little bit of his stand up. It is brutally bad. I don't give him much credit for Kim K. A lot of guys have danced a jig in that reprobate.

    New Jack Reacher on Prime

    I liked it.…and I’m usually not a fan of movie adaptations of novels because you are trying to cram 12-14 hours of story into 90-120 minutes. The 8 to 10, 1-hour episodes is perfect for capturing the essence of a novel. Sure, it had some cheesy stuff and I could nit-pick where it diverged from...

    New Jack Reacher on Prime

    I still have 3 episodes to go. I like it so far. The differences from “Killing Floor” are obvious, but I understand why. I’m a huge Reacher fan. I consider this 50 times better than that crappy version of the Mitch Rapp books from a few years ago.

    Any F1 racing fans?

    I think you are right. I just hope that he doesn't use this "loss" as a reason to get defensive and over-simplify the situation with cries of bias or racism or whatever. I don't think he would do that, but he has surprised me before. I do hope that this "lights a fire" in him to push harder...
