Sometimes it’s best to look back, reassess, and throw it into the Houston Astros branded trashcan.
I deem your punishment of one Astros elimination to be sufficient.
Yeah, join the club. Those fuckups can really stick with you for a while, but they happen and a little focus on the good stuff can help to put those in the rear view mirror. And there’s plenty of good stuff here.
Me, I’m always up for restaurant suggestions. Whose curry do you favor?
Just curious – when you wrote that September was “down,” is that down in website traffic or down in subscribers?
What does down mean in your context?
(we were still up 14% year-over-year but down 15% from where we’d been over the summer).
Website traffic.
I liked the race car vs street car piece, and for me anyway, the numbers were the less important part compared to the bigger implied question of: is this a good thing?
While I appreciate the engineer-detail that’s always evident here, I also really enjoy the subtle, thought-provoking nature of a lot of the pieces. That’s journalism at its best.
And come on, Rapport has had his moments. You’re probably NOT going to like a comparison with his great/grating appearance on the Simpsons, so how about his costarring with Arnold in the now-forgotten but not bad The 6th Day?
Same! I’m not the race nerd I always want to be, so it totally slipped me by, but it definitely had a very interesting thesis to me, and now that his baseball dreams are shattered (I think he said that in a TMD, I actively avoid baseball), maybe a rewrite could do it justice.
Thanks, MH, for not carrying on the worst parts of the Gawker culture. And just in case it needs saying.. please don’t publish any celebrity sex tapes here.
I can’t even spell nougat bearing or whatever it is, so wouldn’t have known the difference, on this side of the pond we got Nascar, and I imagine there are many street cars faster than the V8 roll cages in plastic shells, especially around corners, like even EVs like the Porsche Taycan.
And if it wasn’t for needing liquid cooling for the DCFC, I think all EVs should have the charge cords attached to the car, and just a receptacle on the charger itself, maybe that would lead to more evs actually having the plug front and center on the car instead of the random fender/taillight location the makes can’t seem to standardize on.
These posts make me feel far better about having been such an annoying fucker to you folks so very many times. It turns out you’re all just as fucked up as I. Not that we don’t all strive to be better.
We’re just people. Deeply fallible people who just want to make readers happy.
Well you’re doing a fine job of it. Just don’t ever sell out to PE please (kidding – I know you wont).
