Should've gotten the heptagonal burr version of the 1ZPresso Q2 grinder that is only sold on AliExpress. They basically copied the Comandante's burrs which is probably why they're not selling that version of the grinder outside of China.

You mean this one?



The C2 was $90.

Imagine dropping $1600 on a manual grinder and not going flat burr.

LOL. I don't know what's up with that pricing. It's usually ~$100.

I think Commandante caught on and put a stop to it, because the normal version with the standard burr grinder is $135, but any of the ones I can find with the 7 core burr are $250+


Also Canada prices are higher for everything because this country is incompetent.

I have a ceramic coated weed grinder so it doesn't get all grody, and also probably releases some awful chemicals into my lungs so I die a tragic, young death.

That film probably spoke to me more as someone who had his mom hop churches every couple of years growing up because she wasn't fitting in then shoved me into the Catholic school system because she thought it was poor man's private school but I really can't advocate for that film enough. Its loving shocking that the film was made in 2019 because its incredibly prescient to the times we now live in. Also its just a loving great Verhoeven film.

Looks like Motorsport wrote about that engine, the Porsche 3512, a couple years ago, and it looks like there is a McLaren anecdote in there.

quote:

Porsche had originally entertained hopes of persuading McLaren to use it, and the team was given a briefing in 1987.

"One of the Porsche engineers had this briefcase, and he took out this single drawing, which was the general layout of the engine," recalls former McLaren man Steve Nichols. "He started unfolding and unfolding. I just looked at this thing and thought 'how bizarre'. It was like they'd taken two of our little V6 engines, and stuck them together.

"It was quite wide, and quite tall, and it was just l-o-n-g. And it had gear drives up through the middle where they'd stuck the two V6s together, and a shaft that came out through the vee. So the gearbox was going to be way up high to accommodate that. I came out of the meeting and said to Ron Dennis, 'Sign the Honda contract.' It just looked like it had no future..."

lmao 'sign the Honda contract' just direct like that.

In other news, extremely hyped race held in Eastern time on a broadcast network and not during football season does well in the American TV ratings

quote:

Sunday’s Miami Grand Prix drew the largest audience for a live Formula 1 race broadcast in the USA.

Formula 1’s regular broadcaster in the US is ESPN but parent network ABC took on the Miami Grand Prix broadcast, boosting viewership. An average live audience of 2.6 million people watched the coverage. Qualifying and practice were broadcast on ESPN. Qualifying drawing 953,000 viewers and the first practice session on the new Miami International Autodrome attracted 398,000. These were the largest qualifying and practice audiences since F1 returned to being broadcast on ESPN in 2018.

F1’s figures compared favourably with those for NASCAR, America’s most popular form of motorsport, which held its Darlington 400 on the same day, drawing an audience of 2.614 million.

An average 735,000 people between the ages of 18-49 watched the Miami Grand Prix. This is a key demographic reflecting the younger audience growth F1 claims it has seen from the popularity of Netflix’s Drive To Survive series. They represent between 28% of F1’s viewers, which compares favourably to NASCAR’s 19%.

Last year’s US Grand Prix drew an average audience of 1.2 million, the most viewed in the US in 2021, showing significant growth in audience to Miami.

notably, it about doubled the ratings figure for the USGP at COTA last year.

NFL season is September through mid-February, so it's one thing for Americans in the eastern half to have Formula 1 the same as Premier League/La Liga coverage in the morning, but another for races to happen in the same time window as live NFL games.

the Las Vegas race supposedly happening in or around Thanksgiving weekend will make for a very interesting question both for people going to the race and also for viewership over that weekend. Remember, that's also apparently going to be a Saturday night race too.
