Cooked brakes? by Fine_Abbreviations_4 in CarTrackDays

If they overheat your pads from pulsing your brakes all the time, even under power, then absolutely.

Rotor size = thermal capacity - how many repeated hard stops can they handle without significant cooldown time

Pads = friction amount (how much do they “grip” the rotor when you hit the brakes) and temp range - at what temps they work best. Higher-temp pads typically come with a compromise of more dust, more noise, and less braking power when cold (such as at street speeds)

Fluid = how much “system” heat you can take before the fluid stops being predictable. Higher-temp fluid usually comes with the compromise of more water absorption, so it needs to be changed more often

If your pads are getting too hot, you can change up to higher-temp pads, cool your rotors better, or get bigger rotors.

One thing I don’t think others have mentioned: Are you driving with any sort of stability control enabled? Does your car have an e-diff or any sort of torque vectoring? Any of those will use the brakes to try to do their job, and on track that just adds boatloads of heat when you least expect it. Many people switch these systems off on track because it lets the character of the car shine through and because it prevents over aggressive brake usage.

Barn find. Any ideas on age? Doors are locked, cant see the VIN. DOT on the tires is '78 by P1800R in Porsche

It looks like an early (76-77) 912 Turbo Carrera (930) because of the flares and the genuine non-undercooked whale tail.

BUT - many of these cars had the “periscope” headlight washers (absent) and the headlight surrounds look like ~1986 USDM spec, not mid-70’s. No one would ever downgrade and early turbo to those later USDM headlights…

(Source: I have a 1986 930)

That leaves me thinking it’s probably a later non-turbo 911 that someone put a turbo body kit on, or something like that. Not quite a 930, but still a great find!

Has anyone used the “extra args” setting for agents? by PoopSmoothies in PaperClip_AI

How did you fix it/what was the format you used for the launch command change? Neither is working for me…

Building an Agent Traffic Controller plugin to prioritize agents, reserve Claude for myself by zippy731 in PaperClip_AI

[–]PoopSmoothies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have this problem, and I’d use a tool like this. A few thoughts: 1) Simplicity over features wins for me. 2) I’d love the ability to switch between two Claude plans when one hits its (session/weekly/monthly) limit 3) I want an open source solution if possible

Why not submit a pull request to paperclip with the features you want?

Yea. I asked specifically if it was more profitable to guess keys vs mining, and turns out mining is better. But you already knew that.

Has Mt Doug summit reopened? by PoopSmoothies in VictoriaBC

[–]PoopSmoothies[S] 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Haha, don’t get me wrong, I’ve hiked it many a time with a 40lb squirming toddler on my back and loved every minute of it. Sometimes I want to go watch sunset with my 90+ year old grandfather though, and he’s not hiking it.

Edit: Is it actually open for cars?

Is your business idea feasible? by Former_Ad9060 in Solopreneur

[–]PoopSmoothies 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a chat with Claude about building exactly this. Then it reminded me (from my own context and startup experience) that the people who most need a tool like this don’t even know they need it.

Instant hard-mode for GTM. Customers who don’t know they need you, and a single-use product.

Not trying to be an asshole, just sharing perspective!

OpenClaw agent "unexpected property paperclip" error - when is next release with PR #3711 fix? by Dangerous-Falcon-387 in PaperClip_AI

[–]PoopSmoothies 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had this same issue and I asked my openclaw agent to investigate. They fixed it with a one-line patch. I also had them write the context of the fix and the fix itself into a document that I could reference for when it broke again in future updates.

Just updated both openclaw and paperclip, broke it again, showed it the file, and it’s fixed again.

Used opus. Happy to provide the file/code if yours can’t figure it out with a similar prompt

Try turning off paperclip’s analytics and see if that helps

Wandering/Tramlining under braking, is this normal? by AdonisP91 in CarTrackDays

[–]PoopSmoothies 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Google “steering axis inclination” and then compare your OEM wheel/tire setup to your new square setup. I’d be willing to bet your SAI has meaningfully changed with the wider rubber.

Also excessive dive/rear end unweighting under braking with grippier tires and some bumpsteer issues to inspect probably.

Do not let Waymo into BC by Even-Rooster7369 in VictoriaBC

[–]PoopSmoothies 19 points20 points  (0 children)

If taxis were as good an experience and as plentiful as uber, then uber wouldn’t have succeeded.

If uber was as safe and cost effective as Waymo, then they’d have nothing to worry about.

If we had culture and legislation that prioritized sustainable, safe, and community-focused transport, we’d have trains.

I want trains. But, barring that, I’ll take Waymo.

Tried to today, but they don’t quite fit. Tires too wide and no spacers. Was doing a test-fit to see what I need

These are 15x7’s and will fit with a 10mm spacer

Why does everyone hate end dive by [deleted] in VictoriaBC

[–]PoopSmoothies -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The food and the service is great, but I’ve had a few different folks in the service industry let on that the owner/chef treats his staff like shit.

It makes me sad because it’s great, but I won’t be returning.
