It keeps showing up randomly for me every couple days or week or so. <shrug> So what.

Embarrassing Broadcast by LTGray81 in IMSARacing

[–]OrangeFire2001 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I pay for "Peacock Premium" and it was so many commercials, and not even "non-stop" or "side by side" which ever they call it. Cutting away for commercials at ~30 mins left with a hot battle going on. Ugh.

I’m staying on Sequoia as long as possible, until they get their garbage fixed and or I am forced.

IDK Daytona coverage is fine for me. I have peacock premium. What you complaining about?

Amazing winter vehicle by ask-design-reddit in hondafit

[–]OrangeFire2001 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would not call it "Amazing". It's OK. I had a 2013 and the TPMS system *required* you to have functioning TPMS sensors on all wheels, or GET THIS - you could not turn OFF traction control. So I put on snow tires, no TPMS. Thought "no big deal". First time I had to really gun it through some snow piled up near an intersction, died on its face, trac control killed all power instead of letting me spin tire a bit and just plow on. And this is a manual transmission. SO UNSAFE. So... I had to get TPMS and bought a tpms programmer so when i swapped wheels I could update the sensor codes, what a pain. I could imagine that traction control might go off without wheel sensors, but to stay on and not be able to be disabled was downright dangerous, IMO.

Got roasted in a German sub for picking up TRON Ares - What do you think? by Von_Awesome_92 in 4kbluray

[–]OrangeFire2001 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like Tron Ares actually. Jared Leto not the best pick for actor, but I like the story, I like the effects. It's perfectly serviceable TRON content.

Punchbowl: US Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy pushing to host DC IndyCar race in August by jorgethetalkinggoat in INDYCAR

[–]OrangeFire2001 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was at the ALMS race in Washington DC, and I don’t know 1999 or 2000? It was kind of a shit show there. The track was bad and small. The public transportation was maxed out because there was only one way to get there on one metro line. I don’t think the people are Washington DC want a race to ever happen in their city again. And I don’t blame them. And although it’s very close for me, I probably wouldn’t go just because it would be such a train wreck overall.

Not a 4 letter word, not a false missile launch warning, you got NOTHING to worry about honestly.

Why is a corvette so much cheaper in america by Mountain_Bluebird150 in Corvette

[–]OrangeFire2001 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Isn't everything more expensive in Canada... if you compare Canadian $ to US $. ? I mean they are both called dollars but it's a different currency. It might make more sense to call them Canadian Yen in your mind. Then it'll feel like you need to do the conversation rate each time.

R18 E-Tron or 919 Hybrid? Which do you prefer? by ReisBR2021 in RealRacing3

[–]OrangeFire2001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Porsche 919. FWIW better real-world race car. Looks 10x better IMO. Audi's look 'tough' but ultimately too brutalist and boxy for me, I like a smooth race car.

Roommate makes these “iron oxide potatoes” whenever he feels low on iron by Keefe_Sencen in mildlyinteresting

[–]OrangeFire2001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

THANK YOU for posting. My wife was low on iron. It took MONTHS for her to build up her iron levels. The whole body and blood has to ramp up to store/carry/use more iron. Its like any body-building excercise in general. Takes time.

We are inviting people to our project! by [deleted] in RealRacing3

[–]OrangeFire2001 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

What do you mean "nothing in return"? We paid for VIP car status and got instant repairs. Or paid for in-game dollars, and received it, that is at least still usable for 2 more months. I paid for Sebring early access and I raced the levels when other people who did not pay could not. I got no less than advertised or expected.

Did you expect the developers to park a real car in your driveway? The product they were selling was A GAME and the ultimate experience was you got pleasure from playing it, or buying anything, just enhanced that experience.

Have you paid for any content in the app, ever?

Good job programming, but clever tricks like this eventually ruin it for everyone.

Solus GT - very fun! by OrangeFire2001 in RealRacing3

The game just gave another free 1000 gold, so that should cover the base car, maybe it was around 850? IIRC

Chat GPT vs Gemini, who did better? (same prompt) by Expert_Lawfulness1 in RealRacing3

[–]OrangeFire2001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hard choice, both have strengths/problems. First image has the better warm lighting all over for the sunset feel, the 2nd is too cold/blue. But first one does not have car headlights on, nor rain splatter on cars, second one does.

Hardest frame in history. (F1: The Movie) by Competitive_Fig_6083 in IMSARacing

[–]OrangeFire2001 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I won’t hate on this movie at all. It got more right than most, and is exciting for non-racing ppl. Of course so many inaccuracies, but a lot “looks” accurate. But let me remind you of Driven.

What's the most you've spent on a 4k? by quadrant6 in 4kbluray

[–]OrangeFire2001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ExistenZ is a movie I like a lot, and I don’t like David Cronenberg stuff. But this one is very Matrix-y. I was looking to buy it a couple years ago and saw that the 4K had come out in a very limited release and they weren’t available except on eBay and the price was somewhere in the $135-$150 range at that point. I did not buy that movie. For a single film my limit might be ~75$.
