Butternut squash is fine, but when it’s used to make pasta and crackers, get the gently caress out.

any butternut squash that isn't used to make curry or soup is a wasted butternut squash.

I hated it until I made it, turns out boiled up squash by itself inside the ravioli is what I had tried before.

I'm a big fan of this fact

quote:

Of the 30 fastest men's 100m sprint times ever, only nine have been run by an athlete not banned for drugs, all by Jamaica's Usain Bolt. He holds the record for the three fastest 100m sprints in history. American sprinter Tyson Gay, the joint-second fastest athlete ever, has served two doping bans and was stripped off his 2012 Olympics silver.

Kimi :allears:

quote:

When Kimi Räikkönen left McLaren he flew his mechanics to Lapland on a private jet for a weeklong drinking and snowmobiling session, ending the week with a night at his family home.

Kimi’s Dad showed them all around the family garage full of off road cars, go-karts, motocross bikes, snow-mobiles, old formula 1 cars and all sorts in between. All the mechanics went on a night out,then when they returned to the family house Kimi’s Mum gave them all cups of tea and made sure they didn’t miss their flight home.

I just think this gives a lovely insight into Kimi’s personality and the family he came from. He was so grateful for the work his mechanics did on his car over the years that he repaid them by inviting them to his homeland and into his family home where his parents welcomed everyone with open arms.

Reference: Marc ‘Elvis’ Priestleys book about his time in McLaren. Book title: “The Mechanic”

The purest sport is snooker, where competitors were up in arms that they weren't allowed to drink during the game any more.
The chance those tubby lads are on anything to improve their performance is very close to zero.

So today I randomly got into a conversation with someone who used to work as a mechanical engineer for Red Bull. First question I had was “is Horner as much of a knob as he comes across on TV?” - the answer was emphatically yes, he’s as much of a nightmare to work for as you’d suspect.

during one of the free practice broadcasts over the past couplea races they put ted on and he mentioned offhandedly that horner just passed by and gave him a "friendly punch in the stomach" like dude is frat boy culture personified in a 48 year old that is desperately trying to escape his wifes shadow

I would think stuff like beta blockers are huge for pool/darts/etc. If they aren’t being tested they’re definitely on all kinds of poo poo.

This for my justices slingin' thangs, rib breakin' kings / Truck, necklace, robe, gavel and things / For the solicitors seein' them dissents spin and grin / That robe with the lace trim that win.
F1 needs to adopt the NASCAR schedule - 40 races in the American South.

This type of 2 week break is unacceptable.

Watching tiny skinny men get covered in mud riding their bicycles on cobblestones for 6 hours is a cheap substitute

A lot of niche sports that you'd assume are clean are actually super dirty because they get basically no attention from anti-doping regulators. I'd put my money on something like basketball, but it's also worth noting that "cleanest sport" is a lot like "most relatable F1 driver" - you gotta grade on a steep curve.

Basketball is hilariously dirty, they have 4 piss test ALL SEASON, so after your 4th you can basically go nuts.
