One of my colleagues races slot cars (Scalextric) and was talking about getting into RC cars and suggested Kyosho Mini-Z as a racing series.

So I bought one so we could try them out, then he decided they were too expensive and suggested some chinese knockoff piece of crap which in fact goes faster.

NOT ONLY THAT

I wanted the shark-nose martini 911 but at the time Kyosho didn't make them, so settled for a standard 911 in a colour I didn't really like

Not more than about three weeks later kyosho brought out the exact one I wanted.

Maybe I'll just get the second one too, and the headlight kits for both, and some better tyres.

speaking of shows, i had the distinct displeasure of watching tv. a good chunk was ai slop, the rest was just regular slop. terrible writing, terrible visuals, horribly bland soundscape. and how are we in 2026 and everything's pixelated and choppy and people are back to (unreliable) stereo? this is why you should have blurays.

it was very hard to focus on. i imagine it's like returning to fast food after 20 years without.

there was recently a field of dreams game or something? the commentators were very obviously under studio lighting in front of a greenscreen, commenting about the weather or something and looking up at the 'sky,' i dunno. set it up on the edge of the cornfield ffs. i saw a bit of it while they were still killing time talking about hall of famers. a bigger baseball fan than me could probably tell me who won. cba to look it up.

as a consequence, i got dragged into watching a bit of the old movie later. it's like 8 hours of kevin costner's relatives yelling at him and something about america's pastime. a kid gets thrown off the bleachers and nobody gets punched. 3/10!

I saw the field of dreams as an option on some streaming service. I have three now. I had to do a double take to make sure it wasn't the original movie.

...

The local special needs league got their field renovated. I was there for the grand opening. They called it a field of dreams too. I am not sure if that is some technical term or something in baseball

Some more background

It started with my 1/10th Tamiya Impreza, at ~$5-600 all up when you include the batteries, charger etc that was too expensive apparently, $300 was suggested by him, then he backed out again due to cost.
Maybe stop subsidising a divorcee and her kids and you'd have more cash I guess.
