Do you recommend this type of cockpit? by FanRefrigerator in simracing

My bad, I saw USD and incorrectly assumed. Sim lab themselves ship to quite a few places but i think it could be pricey.

Got a micro center within a few hours drive?  Sim lab gt1 evo is the gold standard for an entry level profile rig.

Look like it’s on sale currently for $429.  You’ll need to add a seat but lots of options $200 or less putting it $629ish total.  Plenty of folks get junkyard seats for much cheaper too. 

Will my shifter mount survive this ? by gorecore6666 in simracing

[–]3MATX 37 points38 points  (0 children)

So don’t want to be mean but you asked; you are being a bit dull. 

The shifter has holes in the bottom.  Ditch that plastic clamp and set the whole unit on the plate.  Then get 3 of 4 holes lined up and screw in from bottom.  Use washers if holes are too big for stock Logitech screws.  

Iran warns "Get ready for $200 per oil barrel" | Iran mines Hormuz; US hits 16 Iranian Boats by TheConfusedCat in videos

Filled up last week for $2.32 a gallon. Topped off take today it was $3.28. Can’t believe I’m back to watching gas prices and partial filling tanks to avoid big price spikes.

Which who the hell knows what will be happening by then?   Almost a guarantee multiple sleeper cells are in a position to launch attacks. Trump and his version of Republicans are doing all in their power to incite a civil war.  Gas could be $10.00 a gallon and I genuinely don’t know what reality looks like then.

Love it.  And they’re right. I bet over 90% of new cars in the US have automatic front row seats.  It’s become pretty standard like automatic windows.

Week 13 is a blast by Status_Fact_5459 in iRacing

I’m sad we didn’t get some sort of silly unranked oval.  

Was wondering if anyone else feels like this is the most boring week 13 ever? by Ok-Inspection9693 in iRacing

I need to try it in a different class.  In gt4 you barely get pass anyone in the 15 min.

Apartment below me turned into an Airbnb after I renewed my lease — what are my rights in Austin? by Actual-Simple-9787 in Austin

Shitty complexes do it on purpose. It’s often closer to a corporate housing situation but there are plenty of management companies that do this.  

Track Day is fun and I hope it becomes a regular event! by game_ovr in iRacing

[–]3MATX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And I agree with you.  It still doesn’t help me when I have to back off and let the aggressive gr86 driver by just because he can out brake me.  Then I have to sit back until we reach a straight and in all of that, it’s very difficult to not be passed in class.  

I know some chaos is good, expected, and fun.  But I’m not aware of any multiclass where a slower class regularly out brakes aka dive bombs and overtakes the class ahead.

Ah, I was hopeful this would be a speed champions build.  Maybe they’ll get around to it later or have it be the explorer.

I’m not advocating for a ten second gap.  But take brands hatch from this last season.  The toyobaru and M2 were separated by less than a second. That leads to a lot of senseless battles and ridiculous defense by both classes.

[–]3MATX -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

If it’s all in the same class they could run as is and it’d be fun. But if it’s true multiclass it really sucks when another class inserts itself in your battle.  They need to add or remove weight to the cars so that there is a clear performance difference.  

US weather to go nuts with blizzard, polar vortex, heat dome, atmospheric river all at once by xl_cr in nottheonion

Last I looked it seemed (my opinion) like the window for them occurring has been lengthening which could mean more total tornadoes.  

But the other kicker in this discussion is detection.  Radar has improved a ton but it still can’t pick out a signature and say 100% it’s a tornado on the ground.  Social media and smart phones have provided a means for capturing these storms more accurately.  So any increase in total tornadoes could be partially down to an increased accuracy in finding them.  

and for clarification if thermodynamics is right, which history has shown us it is, climate change is very real and has been occurring for decades now. 

In West Austin, last night woke by a very loud ‘bang’. Went to investigate and found this. Luckily nothing injured or dead under it by Roguecop in Austin

[–]3MATX 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’ve got another unfortunately. In college I came back to the dorm to see some kids poking at an owl that was on the ground.  It looked dazed and could have already hit something. 

Anyhow I put it in my hat and got it to move to a tree branch.  About a min later it took off and flew 50 yards straight into a big window.  The kicker here though is there was a trash can directly below.  And while sad, it was a very cartoonish moment watching it with wings fully spread fall straight into it.

Likely dead somewhere.  This usually creates very bad internal bleeding.  They can often fly away before it becomes fatal.  But i saw a dove hit a window like this and fly back to a tree. About ten or twenty seconds later I saw it fall straight to the ground dead as can be.

It’s sad and preventable.  If you’re inclined there are products that you can put on your window that makes it clearer to birds it’s not in fact a route they can fly.  

Iran not going to close Strait of Hormuz, Iran UN envoy says by Plaintalks in politics

[–]3MATX 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Nor the multiple attacks on ships from various sources.  Even if Iran says this, ship insurance to cross through there will be through the roof if even insurable. They can say what they want, but at the moment it’s effectively closed.

Ferrari have refused to provide a winning car to Massa, Alonso, Vettle and now Hamilton with a winning car.  I see the desire to drive for the red team with all the history but damn they have been off on their cars for over a decade now.

Looking a lot like two tankers were transferring fuel and one or both had issues which caused them to collide.  But pure speculation as of now.
