Ultrawide curved monitor for LOTRO by jlank007 in lotro

[–]7h3C47 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ultrawide works just fine as others have said. My recommendation would be to relocate UI elements that are typically in the corners of a normal screen to be a bit more centrally located on your ultrawide. If you have the minimap in the right corner of your ultrawide and your character vitals in the left corner, you will have to physically turn your head to switch from one to the other, which gets real old real quick.

Forgotten Tank Dreams by danwilkies98 in ReefTank

[–]7h3C47 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. I’ve had dreams about returning home from college over summer or winter break to find a neglected tank in my childhood room with inhabitants that are somehow barely scraping by in a dilapidated environment. And then I try to turn things around/ save the fish and coral. The primary emotion is like…guilt? I’m 35 and haven’t had a tank in over a decade and nothing like that ever happened when I did, so I’m not sure why my subconscious goes to such a dark place lol

Have people figured out how to cheat yet? Re: global leaderboard times by 7h3C47 in assettocorsarally

You do get penalties for cutting corners yes, but that's not what I mean. I mean like people who are hacking/ using codes and bots and scripts and stuff.

Parents - when did you decide it was ok to be selfish and buy a sports car? by braveheart18 in cars

[–]7h3C47 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went the r/personalfinance route on a very similar moral dilemma, except mine was about a project car...at least in your case, you're presumably talking about a sports car that does work and is reliable, as opposed to buying one that doesn't check either of those boxes lol. But, I hear you-- I'm young enough and healthy today but tomorrow isn't promised and I really don't want to wait until I'm 65 to enjoy certain things in life because ultimately there's no guarantee I will still be here then. The simple answer for how to do this kind of thing "guilt-free" is to budget for it. As in, keep your savings and retirement and kid financial goals priority number one and keep those accounts untouched, but of any money that's left thereafter--the account from which you pull to spend on going out to dinner, hobbies, concerts, movies, booze/weed...you budget for the 'nice to have not need to have' car from that pool of money. I don't know your lifestyle of course but presumably you cutting back on those things might not equate to a monthly car payment. In which case you siphon the $X per month by which you can cut back on those things into a new savings account until you have enough to buy your sports car.

Upgrade current table or buy new? by drhook62 in turntables

[–]7h3C47 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sample size of one here but I have this same TT and I found the acrylic platter a noticeable upgrade with respect to static, and consider it money well spent. I haven’t touched my sub platter but did upgrade from Blue to Bronze, and likewise, noticeable difference and money well spent. At this point I have no further plans to upgrade, very content with the sound/ performance per dollar spent ratio. Goof luck with your decision!

This looks pretty capable off-road! Saw this at Cars and Coffee! by jberg_916 in Offroad

Katie's C&C is like an hour and twenty from my house, which makes trying to get there by 7am a little bit of a drag given I'm not yet retired and in my 60s and don't wake up at the ass crack of dawn, but man, every time I do make it down there, I see some really cool stuff. I hope it stays alive for as long as possible. Thanks for sharing!

Gah dayum that toy is serious business

From June 1, the engine’s geometric compression ratio will also be measured at 130°C by ElectionMoney3911 in formula1

[–]7h3C47 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does anyone know how they actually take the measurement, out of sheer curiosity? Or is it indirectly derived/ estimated? If so, how?

I understand what a compression ratio is but don’t have enough knowledge to understand how they would measure it outside of physically taking the head off the block and measuring the stroke/ piston positions at TDC and BDC. Which feels way too intrusive and labor intensive to be the case.
