OT: 111th Obsequious Banter Thread: If threads were floors, this would be the tallest building in America

Max yes, but P2-P20 in WDC and P2-P10 in WCC is, truth to be told, exciting.



I appreciate the input, but oh hell no

It was nice to see Mercedes back on the podium this past weekend

Serious hail storm going on right now.

I spent four days last week up camping in Poe Paddy State Park. We had a fire going most of the time.

I was a bit sad when I did laundry yesterday. My clothes smelled so good while I was putting them into the washer.

I just put on a hoodie that I had worn a few days ago a friends bbq/fire pit. Loved it

Lost power at around 4 and not even from bad weather as far as I can tell.....this blows. If I was amish, wouldn't be a big deal...but

I've been looking at getting a home generator lately

My parent's place has one. They constantly lost power for days sometimes. It's good to have one though. I would get a Generac...

I wouldn’t be without one now. You don’t need it often but when you do it sure is nice to have it.

@Tripod the smoke from your wildfires has now reached my house in Montgomery County, just west of Philly. Crazy. Smells like the worlds biggest bonfire.

Yeah I just stepped outside - it's crazy.

Yeah you might be getting it from Quebec which is on fire too. Crazy that we have had rain for 5 straight days and it's still burning. The one really close to us under control and most people started returning to homes yesterday. My buddy said his house was fine, but the smell of garbage...and of course when he opened his fridge and freezer. 8 days with no power....shits gonna be ripe.

I was watching one of the Boston stations and they were saying the smoke is coming from us and Quebec. Lots of our country us on fire...Alberta and BC too. Nuts.

Yankee Stadium looks crazy

Jeez. It’s not that bad here but you can still see the haze from the fires. We didn’t get as much rain as they said so I am hoping for no problems here moving forward

Mods, do we have a dedicated racing [OT] thread or shall F1-related venting be placed here?

Edit: I'd try to find myself, but search function here is not very optimal

No one is f***ing dumb enough to make that

 

[Embiid]

My mom is also having some breathing issues in Bucks....what shit air quality.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Deciding if I want to bother going to the Phillies game tomorrow night. I didn't notice it really during the day today but Sunday night I was having a bit of trouble with the fires in South Jersey burning.

Not sure it's worth sitting through that.

 

[Lord Defect]

What’s the easiest way to go about watching the new season of Alone, without having comcast?

Can't be good playing in that

 

[Cody Webster]

What a strange way to put it ...

Look guys, Mars.

This is the standard processing on the iPhone, I live in Bensalem, just north of the Philly line for those not indoctrinated.

 

[trostol]

air quality is shite atm...everything is hazy and smells like someone cooking bad BBQ

 

[trostol]

air is ok for now..it seems ...i guess that is why I woke up feeling like crap...guess I might just close my window tonight

 

[Jack Straw]

I live about 60 miles north of NYC and I haven’t noticed anything. It’s been overcast (and raining) but normal overcast, not brown sky overcast.

Agree to disagree.

Russell is so easy to hate that it's not even funny and Lewis had enough years of success I'd rather see Merc/AM/Ferrari in the same mix/level with unpredictable podium (instead of Merc building the gap as P2 in WCC), but sheesh... AM were so godawful in Barcelona - hopefully only because the track didn't suit them at all. And Ferrari... No comment.

From my front porch last night. Today doesn't seem quite as bad visually but I can smell it now
