I think it started the second she announced a deal to run a lower series race

but seriously, why is she the one in the announcer box? Surely they could have found someone more experienced who isn't racing tonight...

Quote from BlueFlame :

You can 'had died' e.g. "RiseAM had died on the eve of 3rd of Julember" etc etc

I believe that any context in which that was correct would require me to come back from the dead, wouldn't it? Otherwise, you'd just say "RiseAM died on the 5th of Maytober"

But you can say "The doctors confirmed that he had died before they arrived on the scene from asphyxiation from laughter."

Quote from Dennis93 :

Can't ****ing believe what I'm reading you respectless rats...
Hope you all choke on pepper corns.

I don't see anyone being disrespectful in here? Don't get me wrong, it's sad that someone died, it usually is. But I see no need to be overly sad when I was only barely aware of him in real life. It's not like he had a profound effect on me with his acting, though I'm sure he was a very good actor.

I actually think it would be far more of an insult to suddenly pretend that I cared a whole lot about him, when I was only barely aware of him in real life. Death is just a thing, it happens to everyone at some point.

Edit: goddammit Mysho you sneaky bastard

You can't "had died" because it is an action that is final. Once he is dead, he is not likely to change that status, barring a zombie apocalypse. It's "David has died."

For a condition in the past, that does not currently exist, you could say something like "David had an injury, but now he's better."

Quote from JO53PHS :

You would only use had if you were saying something like 'I didn't know that he had died'.

Indeed. The action of dying is in the past, whereas the condition of dying is eternal. That's the difference that makes it correct to say "had died" in this instance..

Quote from anttt69 :

While it is sad that somebody has died. There was no need for this thread.

Next time it will be "unknown extra out of happy days dies". Where do you draw the line? Did you know him personally?

Can't we just make a single "someone marginally famous that you might recognize if you were paying attention has died" thread? And use that from now on?

Quote from Cornys :

As long as we have 8 we're good . I can lock it at any number 8 or higher . Looking at Tuesday night to lock that if we don't get 10 so we can make our picks

Oh ok I thought we needed 10

Quote from Raito :

Apply image on new layer and try to play around with Dodge/Burn tool (use switch for Midtones)

Grain merge mode in GIMP is better for shading than dodge and burn are.

You should also look to see if they have any other similar teams. I know Georgia Tech had an offroad team also, and a team that competed in Grassroots Motorsports $200x challenges... they had a Miata with a Lexus v8 shoehorned into it, which was pretty awesome.

It's been wacky all around. It's barely even dipped below freezing in Michigan. Just as long as the race isn't shortened due to rain, it's all good

BTW, what's happening with the fantasy league now... still only 8. Probably getting to be time to advertise it somewhere else or make it public.

Quote from Mackie The Staggie :

The Scottish leagues are a closed leagues and teams are invited into the league at the lowest levels.

This, I did not know. Thanks

Still, you'd think the lower leagues would invite them pretty quickly, that with that many fans behind them they'd be able to cut a deal. Because even after the fallout of all the glory-hunters, there still have to have a bunch of people who have spent their entire lifes as a part of the club, and couldn't bear to see it die off completely. And I wager that would make them very attractive to the lower leagues on several levels.

Quote from Mackie The Staggie :

Scottish Football will survive with one or both of the ugly sisters missing, it will not be easy and other casualties will occur (Hearts & Dundee being possible candidates due to previous history) and it will take time...but to say that if Rangers go then so does Scottish football is wide of the mark.

I can't see either Rangers or Celtic completely ceasing to exist in some form. Even if they are shut down completely, you know a new club will spring up in the exact same place, with the exact same fans, an almost identical name, and wearing the same colors. And where there are large numbers of fans, there is money. Would be a different club structure, but it will still be Rangers, since the persona of teams is tied into the fanbase and area so much.

Quote from el pibe :

did he get a drive trhu or he just continued like nothing had happend?

haha, drive through on a SCCA weekend... you're silly

At worst, he would have gotten a post race penalty after the stewards talked to both drivers and possibly the corner workers. But I wouldn't think there is any video besides whatever they may have inside their cars. Usually, nothing happens at all.

You have to remember that everyone else out there, besides Dennis' group, are amateurs. The weekend as a whole doesn't have enough money behind it to pay for a proper steward review system with cameras like they would use in F1 or IndyCar or ALMS etc. So they basically rely on trusting each other, and giving each other a bit more room than they need to. Which means the pro races can be absolute carnage, no review system, damage doesn't come directly out of the driver's pocket, and they race hard.
