  • 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.





  • Concerning shock would be that you find it hard to let go; the current causes muscles to contract and your hand to close, and you actively have to make yourself let go. Appliances and household voltage can do so, but there is no mistaking it when it happens, and it’s not something you just brush off, especially if it happens repeatedly. And then why would you be the only one experiencing it?

    I’d be having people recreate your conditions; if you open it early, length of time, close time proximity to when it occurs. What would you think the cause is, if not something similar to faulty appliance?


  • I don’t think that’s biology. Old CRT style TVs used to emit a really high pitch frequency, and from the ground floor, I could hear if the basement TV was on. With laptops, if it’s an older one or you have a bad power supply, you may be smelling ozone and that’d your queue, or if your room is small with little to no circulation, you may just be sensitive to the heat coming off it. As for the microwave, it may be faulty or ungrounded. If you were getting shocked by a running microwave, I do not think it would be like a static shock where you just get a little crack. They don’t deal with low power or voltage, it would be a concerning shock that you receive.

    Is it just the slight vibration-type shock? I had a laundry dryer with a bad fuse be “live” one time, where if you touched it, you’d be getting shocked, but it was low voltage. But with the regular machine vibration and due to it not being a really powerful shock, it was hard to notice, plus like a microwave, when you pop the door, it largely turns off. The machine vibration coupled with the low power shock, I legitimately didn’t know it was shocking me for like…a few weeks. Because it was such a quick interaction with the machine, if you even touched it while it was on in the first place, it’d be hard to notice.

    I feel like that’s what enhances it? Lol I think of a chicken leg as like…skinny bone with a bulb on the end, and VA has more of that imo. KY ends up being more like a uniform line until it gets to the think part. 🍗 shape. I also just mean I’m reference to the shape itself, not as a memory tool. I’m from WV so I loooove the void we left in VA lol




  • 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.
