    Some books I love

    I haven't produced much content lately. Just not feeling "pony." Been working on some space opera I might post to Royal Road or Amazon or something someday.

    In light of my recent lack of content, have some of my favorite books:

    Me: What did you learn in school today?

    Kid: We learned about "SPQR" in ancient Rome.

    Me: Romanes eunt domes!

    Wife: What?

    Me: Don't worry about it.

    Always worth a re-read

    I just re-read, for the sixth or eighth time, one of my all time favorite books:
    Neptune's Inferno: The U.S. Navy at Guadalcanal, James D. Hornfischer

Alas, it is not race week · 9:14am Apr 16th, 2023

Sadly, this week's Chinese Grand Prix was cancelled this year, so it'll be two weeks before Formula 1 is back at Azerbaijan.

The Shanghai International Circuit is a very fun track to drive on the computer, with a combination of complex, twisty corners and the longest laser-straight back stretch on the calendar, it requires careful car setup to get optimum performance. I find myself feathering the gas and brakes simultaneously, one foot on each pedal, through the turns 1-2-3-4 complex, right at the limit of my (very small) skills. A shame to miss the race this year.

Well, Azerbaijan in two weeks should be a trip and a half. It's a narrow, technical street circuit with a fast back straight, and they're doing a modified schedule with a Saturday sprint race.

Looking forward to it!

Honestly I actually wonder why you haven't done a racing based fic before on here.

Yea but the NHRA 4 wide nationals are on this weekend, so there is racing to watch! :pinkiehappy:
