In 1990, they removed beef tallow from our food.

In 2026, they’re selling it back to us for $24 a jar at Whole Foods.

The cow never changed.

The middleman did.

IndyCar
- has to avoid the Masters
- has to avoid March Madness Rd1
- has to avoid Sebring / Le Mans
- has to avoid NFL
- has to avoid NBA finals
- has to race “before people go on vacation”

At some point this shit needs to stop. We got a series to run. Run it. Can’t duck &…

@champwebdotnet Most fun I had watching a street circuit race in a while, way too trigger happy on yellows though (and some were so long for seemingly no reason)

[MR™ © @msmd1]

Not when clearly it is not needed. Officiating has gone too far the other way now. Common sense should prevail.

[Tyler Wong @TylerWong65]

@CrashGladys @SpeedFreaks @IndyCar @BryanHerta I like it! Safety is the priority

Nice sarcasm…😜

Very useful information!

With everything we are hearing right now about ticks this seems like good information to share.

“Here’s what I’ve learned after more ticks than I care to count.
First, whatever your uncle told you, forget it. No matches. No nail polish. No Vaseline. No soap on a cotton ball. All of those do the same terrible thing, they stress the tick out, and a stressed tick empties its gut back into the bite before letting go. Which, if you think about what that actually means for a second, is literally how Lyme and the rest get transmitted so you’re not speeding up its exit. You’re making it throw up into you.
Fine-tipped tweezers. Grip right where the mouthparts enter the skin, not the body, the head. Pull straight up, steady, no twisting, no jerking. It’ll feel like it’s resisting because it is, the mouthparts are barbed. Just keep the pressure on and it lets go in a few seconds. If a piece breaks off in the skin, leave it alone. Your body pushes splinters out. Digging around with a needle does more damage then the fragment ever would.
Clean it with alcohol or soap. Wash your hands.
Now here’s the part most people skip: don’t flush the tick.
Tape it to an index card. Clear packing tape right over the body, write the date and where on your body it was, and stick the card in a drawer. If you come down with anything weird in the next 30 days, rash, fever, joint pain, that flu-that-isn’t-flu feeling, that tick goes with you to the doctor. Some labs will test the tick itself, which is faster and often more reliable than waiting for antibodies to show up in your own blood. A dated tick taped to a card is one of the most useful things you can hand a doctor who’s trying to figure out what’s wrong with you.
The other thing worth saying out loud: if the tick was engorged when you pulled it, and you can’t swear it was off your body within 24 hours, call your doctor that same day. Don’t wait for a rash. Fewer than three out of four Lyme cases even produce the classic bullseye. A single preventive dose of doxycycline within 72 hours of a deer tick bite cuts the Lyme odds way down, and most docs in tick country will write that prescription without giving you a hard time, especially if you walk in with the tick taped to a card and a clear timeline.”

[James Anderson White @jamesawhiite]

It’s imperative that we revert to STANDARD, not Daylight time, for two reasons, one of which you may have never considered.

You know the first: solar noon is closest to 12 o’clock all year. That means an equal number of hours before and after noon each day.

This also means earlier sunrises which are significantly better for establishing a healthy circadian rhythm.

The second reason is that nearly ONE THIRD of US counties are in the wrong timezone.

A significant swath of the country isn’t only an artificial hour ahead because of daylight time… but TWO HOURS ahead of true solar time.

Year-round daylight time, especially without recalibrating time zones, would establish this error permanently, affecting millions of Americans.

We should be letting the Sun dictate the day the way God made it. Arbitrary, artificial tampering would be worse for us all.

Fix the time zones and affix standard time.

Interesting statistics…

[Keith Just @keithjust]

Mick Schumacher's faster than it appears. And this with a broken wrist too!
here are some takeaways from the official Indy 500 session reports....
Mick Schumacher (Car #47) may have finished the Indy 500 in 18th place after starting in 27th, but a deeper dive into the telemetry reveals a highly impressive underlying performance.

Despite finishing deep in the pack, he successfully completed all 200 laps on the lead lap, logging an overall elapsed time of 03:05:24.5776 and a solid average speed of 161.804 mph.

Here are the most impressive statistics and obscure data insights from his race:

Overall Pace and Micro-Sector Speed

Schumacher possessed top-tier speed that rivalled the race leaders during specific stints, most notably around laps 66–68 and lap 154:

Top 6 Overall Lap: Schumacher recorded the 6th fastest single lap of the entire race on lap 67, blistering the track at 224.496 mph (40.0898 seconds).

Turn 1 Mastery: On lap 154, he was exceptionally quick through the first turn, logging the 2nd fastest time in the Turn 1 Exit section at 223.276 mph. On that same lap, he also posted the 6th fastest speeds in the Turn 1 Entry and Front Stretch 5 sections (227.569 mph).

Back Stretch Speed: On lap 66, Schumacher was the 2nd fastest driver in the Back Stretch 4 segment, reaching 229.528 mph.

Front Stretch Power: He clocked the 5th fastest time in both the Front Stretch 4 and T1 to SS1 sections at 224.986 mph during lap 154.

Trap Speeds: He registered the 8th highest trap speed at T2T to T2, hitting a remarkable 232.965 mph on lap 76.

Pit Lane Efficiency Schumacher also extracted significant time in the pit lane and transition zones, ranking in the top 10 for several obscure pit-related metrics:

He recorded the 5th fastest speed in the PI to SFP (Pit In to Start/Finish Pit) and SFP to PO (Start/Finish Pit to Pit Out) sections, averaging 59.298 mph on lap 29.

He was the 6th fastest in the PO to BS (Pit Out to Back Stretch) transition, accelerating to 136.133 mph on lap 177.

He had the 8th fastest navigation of the PIC to PI and PI to PO sections on lap 107.
