I don't really follow the sport but it seems like NASCAR fans are like we want playoffs. Joey Logano wins: NOT LIKE THAT - JD Nov 11, 10:51 7
- I mean, one driver could win 28 season races, and another wins 1 race and they could win the championship. - JaxSean Nov 11, 11:02 5
  - Bring back the old way with no playoffs and just let the best driver win. If you want to incentivize wins, give the winner a big point bonus. - Will Hunting Nov 11, 11:07 3
    - I never really paid attention to it before, but this "history" of how the points are awarded is brain spiraling. -- (link) - JaxSean Nov 11, 11:30
    - Heh. Real chance that I've been brainwashed by Premier League fandom but I'm becoming a no playoffs fan when feasible -- (edited) - JD Nov 11, 11:23 1
      - I think it could in theory work if you actually just limit the 'playoffs' to the playoff contenders, and then don't do this arbitrary cut-off...but... - Will Hunting Nov 11, 11:38
  - sidenote: I hate Logano, and I hate Larson more, but Larson dominated the season. - JaxSean Nov 11, 11:03
- This year appeared to be even more of a cluster-fuck than normal in that he only got in because someone else failed Nascar's 'inspections'. - Will Hunting Nov 11, 11:01
Apparently we’re seeing JRAD this weekend. - znufrii Nov 11, 10:48 2

What's your favorite stove top burner? -- nm - JD Nov 11, 10:21 24
- I've got a dark horse in that it is always the middle extreme boiler. I want it done RIGHT NOW - Pippy aka Desparada Nov 11, 11:33 1
  - You've got a middle burner? Really fancy ;-) -- nm - JD Nov 11, 11:35
- Right front. I don’t do much cooking that requires multiple simultaneous burners so the others practically don’t need to exist. -- nm - Dano Nov 11, 10:50
- right front is the bigger and most used, we do have this long oval for a griddle but never used it. two back ones might as well not exist -- nm - zeitgeist Nov 11, 10:36
- Left front unless we're boiling then we use one of the two "Power Burners" -- nm - oblique Nov 11, 10:34

  - Who has time for that though? -- nm - znufrii Nov 11, 10:33 1
    - Any bozo can sear something on front left, but iif you want to create something special, back right is the way. -- nm - Roger More Nov 11, 10:53
  - fancy -- nm - JD Nov 11, 10:33
- Default is front left for main dish component, with water for pasta boiling on front right -- (edited) - znufrii Nov 11, 10:29 2
  - Agree. But typically front is large and I want to shimmy it and what not, so the secondary goes back right. -- nm - VMan Nov 11, 10:36
  - Honorable mention to the center griddle, your contribution to Sunday pancakes will not go unrecognized. -- nm - znufrii Nov 11, 10:35
- on my stove, the left front is bigger, so anything that requires a bigger pan goes there. right front is smaller, so pots of soup, etc goes there. -- nm - tRuMaN Nov 11, 10:25
- The original Stove Top Turkey Stuffing -- nm - ty97 Nov 11, 10:24 1
  - I'll see your stuffing and raise you a cup of oatmeal with maple syrup for extra stickiness. took me six weeks to get it off my le cruset sauce pot -- nm - zeitgeist Nov 11, 10:38

The Grove Hotel is a nice hotel in Boise built into the Idaho Central Arena, so sorta like the Rogers Centre, you can rent suites looking onto the ice - crash davis 😺 Nov 11, 10:04 4

- I randomly picked a 'shredded foam memory pillow' off of Amazon and am surprisingly very happy with it - decline Nov 11, 10:35
- for under my head I have a very old feather pillow NOT downy, its not spongy or bouncy, it conforms to your head like wet cement and gets solid ish - zeitgeist Nov 11, 10:34
- i havent found it yet. -- nm - tRuMaN Nov 11, 10:11 1
  - It was warm in the night, I was cold as a stone -- (link) - JD Nov 11, 10:13 [youtube]
- I have casper sleep pillows and I love them. -- nm - amanda Nov 11, 10:08
- trial and error. we have so many pillows. and i use exactly one of them. (foam, curved with the neck support edge, not too thick.) -- nm - Andie Nov 11, 10:04 1
  - This is my favorite as well. -- nm - pmb Nov 11, 10:17
- I really like my pillow but I'm unsure of the brand right now. It's a memory foam type of pillow but small pieces and not one solid piece. -- nm - Krusty Nov 11, 10:02
- I'm still on that quest -- nm - crash davis 😺 Nov 11, 09:56

- yup. Men's Polo -- nm - mr mooch Nov 11, 10:07
- I wear cologne daily but try and keep it light. People think they need to keep smelling it themselves so they put on too much. -- nm - Krusty Nov 11, 10:03
- One of the Tax Directors wears a lot of perfume. if you walk by her office, even with the door closed you can smell it. -- nm - tRuMaN Nov 11, 09:48

LYC: We may have hit the high water mark for solar production surplus now this year. 10/29 I hit 3512 kwh "banked" if my tracking is right - oblique Nov 11, 09:16 4
- How long do you think it'll be before you use up that surplus? -- nm - Krusty Nov 11, 10:06 2
  - That's the big question. We added panels last fall to hopefully end up at net zero in April when the credits reset. -- nm - oblique Nov 11, 10:07 1

Trying to decide the right timing to jump out of this TSLA stock position. - ty97 Nov 11, 07:14 18
- how do you feel about monthly dividend stocks? You can jump out of TSLA and get into their TSLY it is cheap and pays every month. - Pippy aka Desparada Nov 11, 09:05 2
