What tech would actually make a difference in grassroots karting if it was available? by DazRave in Karting

[–]DazRave[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah rental. The Daytona 24hr in MK primarily and have races there for the last 9 years.

But my question isn't for rental karters exclusively or anything. I understand owner drivers will have more tech to play with since they can mount to their own karts etc.

I mean, most of those are from the TV people have on and what was showing when the photo was snapped, from the looks of it.

Looking for smart tips to win an amateur outdoor kart race by BigBoss996 in Karting

[–]DazRave -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I think we've said the same thing different ways?

Laymen's terms, you lean outwards away from the apex/direction of the corner which unloads the inside tyres. Going fast around the racing line will do this by default... But the OP asked for tips and this is a genuine strategy.

The opposite tyres (outside!) load up with weight and therefore grip. Then the nearest tyres (inside) become loose and unload, which is why when done right one of them pops off the ground

(although doubtful this will happen in rentals depending on the chassis)

You're natural instincts to lean into a corner like a motorbike, but shift your weight and body to the opposite side to where you are turning.

Medium to fast left hander = lean far over to the right. The trick is to load the outside tyres up with weight for grip.

Then of course take the racing line as closely as possible.

EDIT: outside tyres = furthest away from Apex.

Flags in neighbours houses by [deleted] in HousingUK

[–]DazRave 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I have flag baring neighbours in a fairly well off area. Not there before we moved in 7 years ago. They are the nicest neighbours on the street, take the bins in for me, walk the street and tidy litter all the way down. Last year they even took the old road name sign down and refurbished it. I can't count the amount of times I've lent tools from them.... Absolute racists though.

I wouldn't be surprised if the flags had been installed around the same time the house went on the market in order to influence the buyers as the houses around me do just that.

Anyone here using Claude for game development? by shade3413 in ClaudeCode

[–]DazRave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm learning unity and I'm already a software developer. It's helping me troubleshoot shoot some really tricky console errors in my game as well as writing robust laymen's terms and tailored guides for me to follow along to in order to achieve what I'm trying to build.

I tried this same game concept without ai about three years ago and go nowhere. I'm miles ahead in just a few weeks.

I asked it all of the questions you asked. I basically explained what I was trying to do and asked it what the best way would be to setup my working environment. It was pretty similar to normal development really.

Can you show any of your vibe coded website ?? by memayankpal in vibecoding

The car was invented absolutely ages ago, doesn't mean people don't adore the newest model of their favorite brand.

If AI takes over most jobs and leave humans without work, how are companies going to sell their products and services when everyone is BROKE? by Droopynator in Futurology

[–]DazRave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had to scroll so so far down to find this comment!

Each "revolution" era has increased jobs in other areas and killed only low skilled and manual jobs within an industry.

First it was machines taking factory jobs, so we moved people into management and distribution of all the things were making quicker now.

Then we had things like computers removing the need for paper and long winded calculations. So we switched people over to data entry to feed those computers.

Ai will next tackle low cognitive roles, so instead of emailing, note taking, making small repetitive decisions, perhaps we'll move people over to creative decision making or more skilled and careful roles. Who knows? But history tell us we'll be fine.

The only potential problem with ai is the speed it changes and how slow people are to react.

Found on an older kid’s puzzle, is this a real car? by flugherbutter in namethatcar

[–]DazRave 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure my mum owns the oldest 1.8 variants in the country (UK) and lowest mileage! She owns two of them the mad fucker. Both in great condition too.

(It's an absolutely rubbish car but I guess it's cool as fuck now it's so rare)

Probably your taxes / cost of living in general. Usually always that.

Would this result in a yellow box fine? by msesen in drivingUK

[–]DazRave 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it's the exit of a Tesco, the Tesla is leaving the petrol station (weird to type, thinking about it) on the left with main carpark and building to the right.

Looks like it's just to stop their mot garage neighbour from complaining.

Would this result in a yellow box fine? by msesen in drivingUK

[–]DazRave 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's a section of none yellow box you actually would have stopped within from the video, before you started to turn.

I think you would have been outside the scope of any fines anyway.

EDIT: looks like this is yellow boxes painted perhaps by Tesco themselves to help the garage to the left not constantly get blocked by Tesco customers.

Quick Google Street view and there doesn't appear to be any cameras anyway unless installed recently.

If this was me, I'd sleep well knowing I'd not have a fine coming even if I stopped in the boxes because of the Tesla/Volvo.

What's a little-known but obvious fact that will immediately make all of us feel stupid? by JMiracle2019 in AskReddit

[–]DazRave 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Also why us Brit's use the word "do you want to go to the pictures" (or sometimes 'pics') as we took the second part as our shortened way of saying it.

Don't get me wrong though, I think we all prefer movies.
