Over in Singapore right now. Just took a tour of the F1 route here. Apparently it's the only night race they do in the F1 series. Ok, that's all my F1 knowledge.
Don't usually participate but did call the wife this morning and told her to get us some Mega Million tickets!

It's so damn hot there when they race that they run it at night so it's a little cooler.

Makes sense. Humidity here is R. I. D. I. C. U. L. O. U. S.

your poor wife is going from beautiful Europe to Alabama. God damn.
Haha, not all Europe is beautiful. Huntsville is a nice area and she’s just happy I won’t be deploying
This reminded me of Trendon when he mentioned getting crushed by a falling satellite as his preferred method of death, as he would at least get a Wikipedia page about it

I got my Mega Millions tickets...why not me!!!
With the 24% Texas tax rate, I'm looking at at a $567 million payout. Cool cool.
Funny thing is, it has to get to a billion for me to buy a ticket, I think the last time I did was when it got to a billion. Like I can't be bothered to buy a ticket cause it's just not worth it when the lottery amount is $300 million or some shit lol.

I think the idea of winning the lottery is fantastical. But if I'm being 100% honest, I'm not sure if I'd truly want to win that amount publicly

You have to drive to a middle of nowhere quickie mart and also purchase a case of Keystone or Busch at minimum to be considered.
Purchase anywhere else you are basically throwing away money.

Depending on the state you are in, you can set up an anonymous trust to collect the winnings.

Verstappen's following is a great spark for viewership and having LeClerc at a similar age should make for a nice long-term rivalry. LeClerc has to learn to keep it on the track though! Hamilton is on the backside of his career, but having Russell as a teammate keeps Mercedes in that top 3 manufacturer's spot with Red Bull and Ferrari.

Hah... yeah, not exactly a banner weekend for Ferrari. It's like they are using a magic 8 ball to make strategy decisions.
Meanwhile, Max is pulling 360s and still winning from P10.

I don't understand why you would ever want to put on the hard compound with how bad they were performing, and the constant threat of rain ruining the long run. I just didn't get it at all.

Binotto made a comment after that they had been tracking AM's hard tire choice early on and still decided to go with it... even with LeClerc asking them to run out the RM longer and not use their pre-determined RM-RH strat. For those that don't watch, this is like being down 7 points and punting on 3rd down because you've got a great defense.
