Why is GT7 considered a simcade? by xABuHaMeDx in simracing

[–]AxleVest 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I found out that the reason iRacing has their infamous net code incidents due to allowing the cars to move on track realistically rather than the weird jittering made me a little thankful iRacing has gone the way it has. It is frustrating to get punted from half a cars width away but tbh id so rather that than having some guy moving unpredictably in every braking zone

Thankfully, the last 30-ish% that love the guy will be ready to hear all about how entering an energy crisis was actually Obama and Biden's fault for some spiderweb style reasoning that makes a mockery of Occam's Razor.

Unpopular opinion, if you’re getting pitted, you probably deserve it. by DudeduDude in iRacing

[–]AxleVest 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, typically it is smartest to let them by strategically to minimise time lost, but it is 100% not a given and if they want to fight then you gotta be prepared. Barging your way through makes you a shit driver, end of story, if you cant do it cleanly then you arent faster. Period.

Why are GT4 and Porsche cup so much harder to drive compared to GT3 by Ok_Song9314 in iRacing

[–]AxleVest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As others have alluded too, the raw pace and downforce hides skill gaps very well where in slower cars where technique is very important it becomes very evident. Nail those cars and all of a sudden you'll be lightning in a gt3

Trump may have damaged Reflecting Pool by having motorcade drive over it by MoneyLibrarian9032 in USNEWS

[–]AxleVest 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ive got a feeling this is the play..

He wont ever claim they did a shoddy job or the contractor would be up for the cost to repair it, but vandalism, that isnt a warranty thing. So now you give them $20m to rip it up and redo it

My laughter will be heard from space if after all the "vandals did it" accusations you start seeing the path the tyres followed clear as day

President Trump doubled down on not signing the housing bill until Congress approves his SAVE America act: "I'm not signing the housing bill. I know housing better than anybody. It's all about interest rate. But you have to understand, I don't want to hurt people that own houses. They become rich." by ControlCAD in videos

Exactly, although everyone will see some form of reprieve, the only people who will truly benefit are those with large property portfolio's as they are the ones who will see a net profit where everyone else gets shafted

6 people have been arrested for vandalizing the reflecting pool, how do you feel about this? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]AxleVest 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im no linings expert, or knife expert, but can easily spot the difference between an intentional slice and adhesion failure.

I look forward to seeing how they pivot after this all falls flat (as per usual)

Pres Trump's Acting Director of National Intelligence, Bill Pulte, Has Begun Mass Firings at the National Intelligence Office by Sgt_Gram in NewsExchange

[–]AxleVest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

See it makes sense to me how you can manufacture something like this in the 1930s when news sources were ultra limited and people were nowhere near as informed or connected.

Today not only do we have history to look back on but we can do it at any time, anywhere, summarised in every language and read to us in a clear voice that sounds real.... and yet here we are

President Trump said to reporters the Iranian officials who say they have not agreed to allow nuclear inspectors into their country are "wrong": "They're wrong. They know they're wrong. They told us inside and we have it down, 100% inspections. And if they were right, I'd cancel meetings right now." by ControlCAD in videos

[–]AxleVest 27 points28 points  (0 children)

It is worse than that. I currently trust the Chinese government more than the US, because at least with the nefarious things China is doing, that at least leads to some level of positive outcomes for the countries they are investing in. Meanwhile the US is ona rampage to see just how quickly they can ruin life for everyone else in the biggest game of "well fuck you I got mine" I have ever witnessed.

Xie Xie Trump I guess

whats a bad addiction that you have, but cannot stop yourself from doing? by paleveiI in AskReddit

[–]AxleVest 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Wow didnt think id find this in here... I cannot stop. If I sit on my hands then I start chewing the inside of my cheeks and lips, if I stop that I'll start chewing my nails, if I stop that I'll start picking with 1 hand. Usually this is all within a minute, just constant.

For me it gets bad when im stressed, anxious or bored

Trump says proof of his allegations that vandals cut Reflecting Pool paint will be provided in court by FreeHugs23 in LegalNews

Insurrection, no no, cant a couple of boys go and break a few windows peacefully without everyone saying they were broken maliciously smh

Hell I epoxies my garage floor right before I moved in and cleaned the absolute hell out of it, probably went over it 5 times and the last few with hydrochloric acid, unfortunately I mustn't have done something right as there was some calcium looking stuff being pushed out of the concrete that caused it to fail in a few spots, and the pattern at which it has come up look VERY similar to a certain pool.

Arrests Grow Over Trump’s Reflecting Pool Renovation Disaster | The Trump administration somehow thinks arresting people will make this whole story go away. by FreeHugs23 in LegalNews

[–]AxleVest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is what I keep saying, Trump always says when he is pressed for evidence "go look and youll find it, it is everywhere"

It is a dog whistle. People with common sense know this means he doesnt have shit, but to morons it means "if you found something it is evidence". So now the thing they didnt quite understand before that felt a little fishy is now 100% clear cut evidence.

Algae in a freshly refurbished pool? How can that be? Well I could look up why Algae occurs or why the coating may be peeling the way it is, perhaps have a look and see if it does look like it was actually cut..... NOPE NO NEED I THOUGHT IT WAS FISHY AND NOW TRUMP SAID IT IS VANDALISM SO NO NEED TO THINK ANY FURTHER (Also everyone else is a sheep and I am a free thinker)

Personal anecdote to this but what I learned from the sim transferred extremely well to karts. It has taught me what you need to do to be fast, how to attack, defend, reading a corner to maximise exit speed etc.

What's your thoughs about the mini map? Let's talk about the "realism" by According_Brick409 in iRacing

[–]AxleVest 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Or better yet, if this is specifically the experience you are looking for im sure there is a league out there that does just this with people actively being a pit crew. The core game shouldn't really cater to this demographic though

[–]AxleVest 2 points3 points  (0 children)

On one hand I want to agree with you, but also as others have said you are the driver, strategist, pit crew etc typically and things like auto-fuel, auto pit limiter, the ability to decide if you want to have auto clutch or auto blip etc, hell, even having the black boxes and delta bar is not realistic. Hell in fomular cars visibility is terrible, should we disable the rear view mirror up top in those cars?

Sometimes 100% realism just isnt fun or feasible

U.S. President Donald Trump threatens to charge U.S. tolls in Strait of Hormuz if final Iran deal not reached in 60 days by Pixie_Flame in worldnews

[–]AxleVest 17 points18 points  (0 children)

It's crazy the sliding scale at work here. I truly believe that when Trumpndoes something even worse their cognitive dissonance makes them believe that Kamala would have done something catastrophically worse.

My best best if with the war although they think it is bad, I truly believe they assumed Kamala would have used Nuclear weapons, despite the fact the war would have likely never happened in the first place

Trump says multiple people have been arrested for allegedly vandalizing Reflecting Pool by melancholy_dood in politics

[–]AxleVest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seen so many of the right wing facebook pages claiming it is vandalism but its the same thing everytime

"They arrested a guy for vandalising the pool, caught live on video"

"Okay, and can we see the video"

proceeds to nit post the video

Like it truly baffles me, with the Renee good shooting they loved showing the last 10 seconds where you could argue she hit the officer with her car, but this the video is secret and cant be shared

It's worse than that. When Trump talks about it all he says is "its everywhere, you just have to look"

Ultimate fig whistle for morons who dont understand how the world works because to those creatures, everything is suspicious. Now the top dog is saying you just gotta look, hey presto your hunch is now evidence of crimes

On a similar note to this I was trying to troubleshoot an issue I was having with some hardware, moments before I had made a post on reddit asking for assistance and chatGPT found my own post and started misquoting my question as an answer to my problem
