The two shows are very different. HCF is set back in the very early PC era, and is much more of a realistic drama than a comedy. (I'm not saying it's historically accurate, merely that it feels like it could be.) But they're both excellent shows.

Principal syndication is on AMC. No idea what legitimate streaming services offer it. I use bit torrent.

Gotcha, I'm too lazy for torrents anymore. I haven't even watched F1 or V8 Supercars in 2 years.

I haven't had cable in approaching 10 years, but I'm about ready to so I can just watch the stuff I want to see when I want to see it.

fwiw- there is a lot of sportscar racing on youtube both live stream and prior recordings. I've watched Japanese GT, FIA GT, FIA Rallycross, a variety of racing from Australia.

IMSA puts full races up with IMSA Radio commentary within a week of broadcast. Continental Races seem to lag behind a bit longer (probably because of the delayed broadcast time).

No staples. Still a bit tenuous, and I've got a couple of follow-ups scheduled. But I'm not on any narcotics and doing reasonably well.

Also, WRT the photo: I gained 7 lbs in the hospital over the past week. Friggin' Martha the head nurse is like an Italian grandmother. "You gotta eat! You getting so skinny!" I'm embarrassed by this shot, but it's the only one I have of me in full cardio-monitor regalia showing the bandages.

Six chest X-rays in one day has got to be approaching some kind of record...

But a pleasant coda; Turns out that doing laps of the 3rd floor of the hospital every day for the past week has paid off. One of the nurses on the floor (different section, one who I'd kind of hit it off with*,) e-stalked me and invited me to a party this evening just after I got discharged, to which I painfully but happily obliged. We'll see where this goes, hopefully after all the gauze packing is removed.

* = meaning that she is actually kind of my age, and we share some common interests. Erin turned out to be young enough to be my daughter (just barely) and has a six year old kid. Total shutdown signs.

Fortunately, the radiation dose from a chest X-ray is pretty minimal these days. Nothing like one of these things:

Too much baggage.

Plus, there is something freakishly wrong at a genetic level when someone who is literally young enough to be my daughter appears old enough to be desirable as a partner. I'm noticing that this seems to be a trend in this area. The women here, as a broad generalization, seem to be unnaturally predisposed to excessive exposure to some combination of sunlight, McDonalds, and/or inbreeding. This one was a fellow CA transplant, and seems to have taken care of herself.

That is a freakishly large example of the breed.

I've had numerous fluoroscopic procedures done over the years. Most recent in memory were the placement of needles in my spine for lumbar epidural injection, and the insertion, inspection, and removal of K-wires from the bones of my right hand. Not my actual hand, but looked exactly the same:

A friend of mine did the exact same thing to let some steam off in a seemingly plastic (flexible) pole, only to find out it was a metal one.

That's what I love about these high school girls, man. I get older, they stay the same age.
