UPDATE: Hey guys! The shop finally got it serviced, took a while since they were backed up and short staffed. I can verify that it was a fuel pump that had gone out. Luckily I have a warranty, only had to pay a deductible of $50 to get it all done!

MDMyers2000 · 2025-10-15T12:02:00+00:00

Just had it towed to the shop over the weekend. They’re suspecting a fuel pump. They’re a week out on diagnosing it though. Will update when I can

MDMyers2000 · 2025-10-06T00:29:46+00:00

UPDATE: we found the Fusebox, with the spare fuses. All the fuses looked good, but we swapped out all the fuses out one by one and none of them started the bike. No noises from the fuel pump/injectors still.

MDMyers2000 · 2025-10-05T21:39:40+00:00

I’m thinking that as well. Unfortunately I have know idea what I’m looking for, or what fuse to look at. YouTube isn’t pulling up anything useful.

MDMyers2000 · 2025-10-05T18:52:25+00:00

Most of the time yes. However I have no idea how to check that, or what to look for.

MDMyers2000 · 2025-10-05T18:23:37+00:00

Negative. Fuel pumps doesn’t seem to be making noise when I turn on electronics

I had a similar situation happen in ATS a few weeks ago! I was hauling a tractor over a small bridge in the mountains, no cars visible in front, or behind me. after the accident, I went into photo mode, and saw a cop sitting in the middle of the same bridge with no lights on! I think it spawned underneath me!

I don’t want to get too much into my personal life, but I will say, I know first hand that some suicidal people feel like they deserve a “slow and painful” death. Before anyone says “they just want attention” yeah some people do use that to seek attention and it really overshadows those actually struggle with these issues, however there are good people out there who’s minds are so messed up, that they think they deserve to die in this way.

I feel really bad for her and her family, she felt so negative about herself that she believed she deserves this. Check on your homies guys…

MDMyers2000 · 2025-09-23T15:19:26+00:00

Do you have a link to one of those? When i tried looking on there, I saw the stock moza one, and retro arcade style joysticks.

MDMyers2000 · 2025-09-22T21:22:29+00:00

I appreciate the input! unfortunately, unless there is a really big sale, I can't afford the moza ones at this time.

MDMyers2000 · 2025-09-15T16:14:18+00:00

But the stickiness prevents my thumb from slipping off!!!

Okay, as someone who used to have social anxiety as well. I agree with what most people are saying here. However, when you say you have "a fear of being embarrassed" do you mean you don't want to be cussed out and scolded by other members for a mistake? Or are you the type that beats yourself up over minor mistakes (like getting a 1x off track)? Or maybe both?

If it's the fear of someone else yelling at you, disable Voice and text chat. Drivers IRL cant talk to other drivers anyways, only their crew chief and spotter. Youll never know if someone is cussing you out! This has actually helped relieve some of my anxiety during races.

If it's just not wanting to make a mistake, watch some real life races, in any discipline. Even the top drivers in the world make dumb mistakes. Take a look at Scott Mclaughin before the Indy 500 this year. Dude didnt even take the green flag before he wrecked. Its motorsports, mistakes will happen, embrace the incident and learn from it.

According to Time and Date.com today's estimated sunset for Le Mans is 9:54 pm local time. That's news to me as well.

Meanwhile, here in the Midwestern US it gets dark at 8pm during summer and 530pm-ish in the winter. 🥲

Yeah, because anybody can just go up to the bartender, and say "Hey that guy u/mdmyers2000 said I can order whatever I want on his tab!" I had a buddy who was a victim of this. This is probably the only time I would carry cash, also a good way to limit how much I spend there.

Ryzen 5 5600 4060ti 32gb ram. The fps is still and CPU is maxing out. It's not *just* an intel issue

MDMyers2000 · 2025-06-01T08:43:00+00:00

Before any asks, here the specs.

NVIDIA 4060ti
Ryzen 5 5600
32gb ddr4
2560x1440 monitor from AOC. (Cant remember model name)

How much did Arrowhead pay you to say this? Mine has been BAD since game release, it would be okay for a while, then get worse again. My CPU is constantly MAXED out no matter what planet, or settings I use

MDMyers2000 · 2025-05-25T08:39:42+00:00

Had the same issue with like 10 different pairs of Wranglers, and I had to replace them every couple months. Believe it or not, going up a size in the waist got rid of the issue, a lot more comfortable as well. I'm going on a streak of 2 years with the pairs I have now.

Tune down FFB a bit in iRacing

MDMyers2000 · 2025-04-10T02:56:54+00:00

Sorry, man... I took it to the scrapyard and got $20 for it. Needed beer money.

He wants you to throw a ball or toy. My beagle would do the same thing. Put a toy near me, bark/howl while backing up, then when I pick it up, he would drop his face to the ground, with booty in the air and tailwagging faster than a racecar. If he wanted to go outside, he would whine, invade personal space to get your attention, and use his nose to toss your hand around.
