So it looks like 1 and 2 generation old GT3 cars, those tube Mutangs with the sequential box, and straight up TA1 cars. I kind of love this. It's basically run what you brung as long as the wheels are covered. Too bad Tracy is such a toolbag.

Not the Current list? I guess this is still pretty cool.

Periodically I find myself going down a Tubes rabbit hole and the story of their early years all the up to right about "She's a Beauty" would make an amazing ltd. series. They opened for Led Zep after basically winning a bet with the promoter in '73 and thinking he'd set them up with a club opener.

I do weekly meal prep for my teacher wife, so we have a lot of repeat grocery orders. In just the time that she was off for the summer this year her weekly lunch total increased over 20%. Some items were straight price increases, but a lot were quantity/volume decreases with identical pricing. Fun.

So many of the Avengers' problems are caused—directly or indirectly— by the Avengers. The actual best way for them to help would just be to retire and for Steve and Bucky to admit their true feelings for each other.

You’re never going to get me to believe that Qdoba is something that exists anywhere outside of an airport.

How will you spot them if they are positioned in front of flora, though?

Although, big shoutout to Kia who had the full suite of Star Wars DLC installed in the Telluride we had a couple weeks ago.

Okay I wasn't going to name names, but, uh, yeah. Them and Stellantis are definitely on the naughty list.

My most toxic auto journalist trait is getting unreasonably mad when a press car shows up and the Sirius subscription isn't activated.

Based on this description I think I know the exact content you're talking about, and i watch it with the same type of reservations. It's frustrating that we've created an arts culture where the only practical way stuff like this can exist is through the use of pretty morally questionable tech.

Mezzo Mix would absolutely fly off shelves here, too. Although only now am I realizing I’ve never tasted it cold…

They’ve kinda been using a similar logo for a lot of their history, but the new revival logo that uses Impact for the type does look weirdly familiar.

That's a real nice shade. I recently discovered I could make s'mores in the air fryer and it was a real game changer. One of those "Why has the universe been keeping this from me?" moments.

Yeah this.👆 People shouldn't murder people. But, also... Maybe some people should think about how they're living their lives and whether that will make people want to murder them.

Yeah man I've blown a bunch of money on Steam, too. Relatable.

My most toxic boomer-esque trait is being filled with the white hot rage of 1000 suns every time I see someone holding a lav mic like a stick mic.

If we're just turning flights into open mic night at 30,000 feet I've got a tight five that would kill on the DAB-ATL hop.

They were the first of the cars where we kind of realized "Oh I guess manufacturers are figuring out how to make heavy cars handle well." Now Mustangs and Corvettes weigh nearly the same as these and it's just kind of the wold we live in now.

Oh mannnnnnn... Nothing is worse than getting sick right after eating a food you love and it turns you off to it through no fault of its own. I once got a major flu after eating pistachios and I couldn't tough them for years. We've since reconciled.

Okay, soccer is over everyone. Now we can get back to the white-knuckle, edge-of-your seat thrill ride of only 80 more games of baseball followed by a two month playoff season.

Me, a casual soccer fan: OMG SOMETHING EXCITING FINALLY HAPPENED! The refs: No, it didn't

Now we come down to the most thrilling part of the contest for casual fans like me: Wondering how much time is actually left in the game.

I guess not

II am, at most, a very casual soccer and basketball fan, but both feature one of my favorite moves in all of sports: As you're falling out of bounds with the ball you simply wail it off the head of an opposing player so it ricochets out of bounds and you get the ball back.

I probably should have figured this out after casually watching most of the elimination round, but is this sudden death?

This is penance for me watching that game yesterday and thinking "You know I should give soccer more of a chance"

Yeah basically just let teams increasingly load the box. Or they could send a coupe golden retrievers out on the field to chase the ball. Or everyone gets knives.

JG Pasterjak @jpasterjak.bsky.social · 19/07/2026
The edges of the goals should be on little tracks so after a 0-0 tie at the half they spend the entire second half slowly getting wider until they span the entire width of the field by the end of the game. Alternately, second ball.

Yeah… I have a couple pair I use for track and shop videos, but they now live exclusively in my gear bag and tool cart. This is why we can’t have nice things.

Scientifically and historically significant things like this should not be commodities. On the other hand, I also wouldn't trust our current government not to do something incredibly stupid with it. Just kind of feel bad for Gus here mostly.

To be fair, if I was President I'd probably try to schedule a bunch of new races, too, but I'd just make sure they didn't suck as bad.

Just remembered I have some Ore Ida crinkle cuts in the freezer. I should toss a small handful in the air fryer then eat them with mayo to show respect to our new conquerers.

The USMNT just needs to get to the end of this lackluster game 1 with Belgium and hope they can get it together and come back tomorrow night to even the series.
