Lol he’s had quite a few issues on previous set ups. I think he has already broken 2 previous engines, but I think they were R1 engines? Don’t quote me on that tho

Herlings is still that dude. Guy just looks stupid fast still, but…Lucas Coenen looks better when he isn’t on the ground. Vialle still solid, Gajser finally showed up. Good to see Kay de Wolf showing up too; I was expecting way more from him.

250s are basically Sacha Coenen show I think. Langenfelder is lacking something right now, Farres being the surprise 3rd right now I think. Everts still likes crashing a bit too much, but he’s looked good when he’s up. Reisulis in a year or 2 I think will be the top guy. He just keeps getting better.

Tomac getting hurt is huge. Big shakeup, and basically turns this into a 2 horse race in the last 3 rounds. Kenny still looking very solid, and this may be the best he’s looked since his wild 2017 injury. Idk if he has the straight speed to beat Hunter, but he’s way more consistent currently. It’ll be interesting to see how it shakes out. Gotta mention JCoop too, guy has been solid lately. Just wish he’d find this at the beginning of the season.

250 was pretty wild. Thrasher pulling it out, just another guy who has speed and no consistency. Landen Gordon being a rookie pulling out 2nd is everything Dudney was unable to put together earlier. Both are young, both will still have shots, but Gordon looks great. Hammaker down 21, unless Davies fully tosses a race away. Guy has the worst luck I think.

I’ve really liked this dudes stuff for a while. I don’t follow him specifically but he’s just the right level of knowledgeable, sarcastic, and self-deprecating that it’s entertaining. Plus he’s doing some interesting stuff

Coenen looks wild in MXGP. Dude blew past Herlings twice, in the sand. That doesn’t happen. Already looking to be a 2 horse race, but Febvre can’t be counted out, and de Wolf will probably get more consistent soon. Gajser does not seem to be liking the Yamaha either, Vialle seems to be averaging out, but he looks like a solid top 5 guy, which I don’t think he would be in the US.

MX2, other Coenen kinda tossed the win to Langenfelder. Everts looks strong too, Belgium will be a force at MXdN for the foreseeable future. Also, Reisulis deserves a mention, as well as Farres and McLellan. Strong results, especially from the Triumph boys.

Another week, another instance of Tomac letting the championship slip away. This was shaping up to be a really good main, and then everyone not named Hunter Lawrence choked it away. Roczen uncharacteristic mistakes, and guy is kickstarting his bike in 2026. Tomac did absolutely nothing all race, and after a really promising looking heat,couldn’t climb up past about 8th before tucking the front and finishing 12th. Sexton on a Kawi had more momentum than Tomac, going 17th to 4th. It’s gotta be an injury; there is no way KTM changes the bike and forces him to finish like this.

250 race was super entertaining, but Hammaker cannot catch a break. One mistake on his own, gets back up to 2nd, and Bennick swaps the rear and collects him. After RJ cleaned him out and took him out of a championship last year, this is likely over and done now too. Triple Crown in Cleveland this weekend though, so points could swing.

Will do!

More like noted to check out further, but it looks promising! Big question is functionality with Android Auto, which if it’s just a website, would be unlikely, but still good to have for home use! It has new releases I’d be looking for on it already too, one album literally came out yesterday and it’s on there.

👀

I’ll be honest, it could be recorded through a tin can and I probably wouldn’t be able to tell the difference lol. As long as it shows me new songs every now and then, and gives me varied radio playlists, I’m happy.

Interesting. I’m fine if I gotta scroll a bit, I usually set it up before I leave. I’ll give it a look!

Nooooooted. Hell yeah

I do as well, and that’ll be the hardest thing to lose, if I can’t find a good equivalent. Cause I have to swap back and forth from Android Auto to the BT player otherwise, and that suuuuuucks.

I’ve heard of it, it’s on my list. My only real qualm is that I want a good “radio”. I don’t do play lists, I just hit Supermix on YT and let it play through. Spotify tried to give me the “average” of all my liked songs, so I’d end up with a Playlist that repeated the same 50 songs or so. YT Music seemed to give me varied music at a similar ratio of my liked genres, which was exactly what I wanted.

Does it have a radio function similar to that?

What’s the free music streaming service you use that has no ads? I’d like to try it, I’m obviously in the market.

Lmao buddy resorts to this and then blocks me. What a small human.

I have a reminder to cancel before the increase. It was, imo, a good deal for no ads, bolstered creator support in YT (Premium views were worth more than free, iirc), and to get YT Music, which I liked more than Spotify.

For $16/mo, I’ll set up ad-free options for YT and I’ll figure something out for music.

True. I use it more for sports updates and such, which was the issue. I’d follow an NFL starter pack, and I’d get some journalists and insiders, and then just some random dudes with a podcast from 2 years ago and now they write about Anime and van life or something. Just doesn’t work in its current format like that lol.

Aside from these forum style accounts, BlueSky is the only actual social media I have, and my engagement is pretty low. But it serves its purpose for me

That was my thought. I think some of them work that way; I do have one that gets posted to the feed when someone responds ONLY with “overheard”, so no extra stuff gets posted. It’s pretty funny to scroll sometimes lol.

It just needs some better filtering somehow.

Eh. They have 2 different purposes in my mind. Here, I want to discuss things and learn specifics or engage in a topic. On Twitter/BlueSky/Mastodon type social media, I’d rather just scroll it and not engage. I want to see the “headlines”, and then decide to delve deeper elsewhere if it warrants. Which is why the starter packs didn’t work for me, because it consistently served me content I didn’t care to see. Here, I’ll check out /all just to see what is floating around in other circles.

Sure, I didn’t necessarily think it was going to “solve” anything, it was more just a proposed solution that does not work in practice in its current form.
