[RACE DISCUSSION] Grand Prix of Portland

Portland International Raceway opened in 1961 on the former location of the city of Vanport, which was destroyed by the Memorial Day 1948 flood. The 12-turn, 1.964-mile natural road course is relatively flat but contains several spots for passing opportunities, including a quick chicane at the end of the frontstretch, a hard-braking right-hander (Turn 7) leading onto the sweeping backstretch, and a three-turn complex leading back onto the fronstretch. Al Unser Jr. won the first Indy car race in 1984. In 1997, the race set the now current all-time record for the closest two-car and closest three-car finish in Indy car racing history on a road course. Mark Blundell beat second-place Gil de Ferran by 0.027 of a second, and beat third-place Raul Boesel by 0.055 of a second, in a three-wide finish.

Music downloader idea.

I've had this idea for a while now, and always wondered if a program like this existed, but never found anything like it. The idea is a selfhosted service/script/daemon that connects to music streaming platforms APIs and automatically downloads your play history. You'd keep listening to your music library on the streaming service until you think you've built a big enough of an offline library and then just drop the streaming service. This would be a great way to build a music library for people who want to drop streaming services but don't have a music library. I might just put something together myself.
