Kyle Busch R.I.P. NASCAR icon Kyle Busch dies at the age of 41
Image from nascar.com
NASCAR icon Kyle Busch, a two-time Cup Series champion who won more races across the sport's three national series than any driver in history, has died at the age of 41, the racing series announced Thursday. The Busch family, Richard Childress Racing and NASCAR issued a joint statement Thursday, saying that Busch died after being hospitalized earlier in the day as the result of a severe illness, three days before he was to compete at the Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway. No cause of death was given. "On behalf of the Busch family, everyone at Richard Childress Racing and all of NASCAR, we are devastated to announce the sudden and tragic passing of Kyle Busch," NASCAR said in a statement. "Our entire NASCAR family is heartbroken by the loss of Kyle Busch. A future Hall of Famer, Kyle was a rare talent, one who comes along once in a generation. He was fierce, he was passionate, he was immensely skilled and he cared deeply about the sport and fans."More from ESPN

• Ranks 9th on the all-time Cup Series wins list (63)
• Holds record 234 combined wins in NASCAR's top three series
• Holds wins record in O'Reilly Auto Parts Series (102) and Craftsman Truck Series (69)

• Most recent win came in the Truck Series at Dover on May 15
• Most recent Cup Series win came June 4, 2023, at World Wide Technology Raceway at Gateway
• Had competed in 397 straight starts in the Cup Series, the 4th-longest active streak behind Joey Logano (624), Brad Keselowski (592) and Ricky Stenhouse Jr. (412)
A rooftop restaurant in Beverly Hills responded after a viral social media post claimed it charged a $110 cake cutting fee during a group dinner. The restaurant, Poza, is located on top of L’Ermitage Beverly Hills and came under criticism after a food influencer shared a photo of the bill on Instagram. The influencer, known as @justinelovesushi, posted that the restaurant added a cake cutting fee of $10 per person for a party of 11 people. The total dinner bill was more than $1,100, but the extra charge quickly became the center of attention online. The video received more than 355,000 views and thousands of comments. Many people debated whether the cake cutting fee was reasonable. Some users said high-end restaurants often charge service fees when customers bring in outside desserts. Others felt the restaurant should have clearly explained the cake cutting fee before serving the cake. *** After the backlash, Poza released a public response on Instagram. The restaurant apologized and admitted the guests should have been informed about the cake cutting fee when they brought the cake into the restaurant.Yet another reason to stay the eff out of California ----- What came first - the bio-engineered chick or the 3D-printed egg? Bio-Engineering Company Hatches Chicks Out of Completely Artificial Eggs
A Dallas-based biotech company claims to have developed a “fully artificial egg” that allows it to hatch a variety of avian species, which could, theoretically, allow it to bring back extinct species and help save endangered ones. One of the stated goals of Colossal Biosciences is to bring back the South Island giant moa (Dinornis robustus), a 3-metre-tall New Zealand bird that went extinct in the 14th century. Colossal Biosciences’s artificial egg looks like a simple plastic cup, but it’s a small 3D-printed miracle that allows chicken embryos to develop into living chicks. The true innovation lies in the silicone membrane coating the inside of the lattice structure, which allows sufficient oxygen to pass through, just like that of a natural egg. *** Interestingly, Japanese scientists successfully hatched quail chicks from artificial eggs in 1998, and others have done so with other bird species since, but their system required oxygen supplementation, which caused some chicks to suffer genetic defects or fail to hatch altogether. The membrane created by Colossal Biosciences allows enough oxygen to permeate naturally.Just because we CAN do this, does that mean we SHOULD?? ----- Life hacks!

Speaking of Uranus, be careful. Starting this morning at around 5AM EDT until about 4PM EDT Uranus will be in conjunction with the sun. In fact, it will be an occultation. The Sun is going to block Uranus for about 11 hours tomorrow.

So Bowie did his "Berlin" trilogy, great albums but poor sellers. As soon as the judgement was done, Bowie released "Let's Dance." His commercial powerhouse.

Seriously, we are getting pretty dry here, and I'm about 7" behind normal for the year. If the forecast holds, this may make a dent in that. And it will spread out for about a week, not too much at one time, to let it soak in.

Yeah, he was my favorite driver back when I watched it regularly.
I'll always remember that season when he broke his leg at Daytona, and because NASCAR admitted they should have had SAFER barrier installed where he hit, they gave him a waiver on the rule that you had to be in each race of the season to be eligible for the championship.
He then won the championship.
And he was always the guy to watch if he was in third place on a late race restart, because he was always going to 'make something happen' going into turn 1.

A white stretch Lincoln pulled in to gas up. The driver asked us if we had any weed. (We looked the part). Said it was for Bowie. Looked into the car and sure enough it was. We quickly went and rolled him a couple joints each and were given a bottle of wine in return. David didn't get out of the car. They were headed to Albany area, IIRC

about it and they became fans too. In 2002, David wrote a song about watching the Uncle Floyd Show called Slip Away. Floyd was touched by it, but was more touched by the very big check David sent him. Some kind of royalties from the song. Floyd said it was very generous and David didn't have to do that. i think Bowie was a decent sort. It's a peaceful song, It was on Youtube last I checked.

Movie trivia: the Goblin King was two guys. David Bowie, and juggler Michael Moschen.
All the "contact juggling" with the crystal balls was actually Moschen, standing behind Bowie and doing the crystal ball tricks blind.

Yeah, if you want to show up at a restaurant with your own food, you should expect a fee. This is controversial?
If the customer wasn't told about the fee, that probably means she showed up with the cake without asking the restaurant first.

The "WD" in WD-40 stands for "water displacement." It was indeed developed as an expedient metal protectant, not a lubricant. The company that makes it ultimately promoted many other uses. The residue that remains after the propellant evaporates is fish oil.

Don't blame you. That whole cross-contamination thing freaks me out too...

Did the seal consent?

Christmas seals are legal now. Easter seals are still under age.

Yes, sadly comedy dies tonight. But America shall pick itself up and learn to laugh again.....
Too late for a horror movie. I started Hellraiser 5. It looked good. I'll see tomorrow. Good night everyone.

Fish oil must be a good lubricant. I have never seen a fish start squeaking and then seize up.

Awful songs. Adam Carolla has a real tic about Man Eater.

Hall and Oates were WAY overplayed. Mostly good songs, but six times in one day would ruin Moonlight Sonata, f'pete's sake...

Yup, I use it when old grease gets hard and I want to dissolve it and loosen it up to remove it. It cuts down on the parts washer time.

Yep. I've got a link shortener extension for Chrome and the others. I've been getting timeouts with is.gd and one of the other ones. The problem is tinyurl will default to a preview version -- you have to get some damned access token to use it with the extension now, which is why I switched it to is.gd.
But the timeouts are happening a lot now.

Diamond Dogs was an attempt to make a glitter-rock opera out of 1984. It had several good songs, and a lot of songs that only made sense if you knew they were rejected by the Orwell estate.
