I'm going to get my levels checked, and my doc said to do it early (no later than 9am) because that's when levels are highest and taper off around 11am/noon

However, I work a mid-shift and wake up around 11:30am, so my sleep/wake cycle isn't as common as the general population. If levels are highest when you wake up, am I supposed to get tested hours earlier?

Basically, for those who aren't part of 9-5 society does it really matter?

I'm watching a game right now, and within one second it will show on TV the type of pitch that was thrown (sinker, fastball, etc.)

How can that be so fast? Is a person relaying this information, or is a computer guessing?

I love asking this every year. This community and IndyCar as a whole has grown since the last 500, so seeing how it went for everyone is fun, even if you didn't/couldn't attend the race:

The single best part of the race

Good things about the race

Neutral things and/or stray observations

Things you didn't care for

Highlight of the day

edit: bonus points for the funniest/insane thing you saw

We know about bad commercials (Butterball is the first that comes to mind), but what about plugs when it's not pre-recorded? It can be an interview at the track/podcast/news segment/etc

The worst one for me was when Helio had the Verizon 4G livery (I believe this was the 500), and a reporter asked something about the speed of the car during practice

He said "I-I know our car is fast, but you know what's even faster? Is the fast...the fast speed of how Verizon is with the 4G fast of how their 4G network is, and if you want fast Verizon is the way to go and yeah"

It's as if Verizon told him to do the promo word-for-word and he was struggling to get it. His facial expression during and after the interview showed how bad it was. Even the reporter had second-hand embarrassment

I've been watching videos about sound mixing for a tv show (Pluribus) and where sound producers put mics for the NBA. There are so many elements that can be used, so how do they know what makes it sound realistic? When awards are given, what criteria are they being judged on?
