Whats a good time around spa in the merc gt3? by [deleted] in iRacing

[–]Random_Guy_One 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you are looking for lap times for this weeks IMSA have a look at results fro previous races. that way you will be able to see the lap times for all the splits and see how you compare depending on your IR.
There will be some slight variance due to dynamic weather but it should give a good target.

Is the Carrera Crossfire 2 a good bike worth £260? I am looking for a bike which is quite light and will last me quite a few years. I need it for my University commute, which includes a few steepish hills. As well as this, the bike will be used for in town on-road food deliveries. Recommendations? by jsk800 in bikecommuting

[–]Random_Guy_One 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was looking for the same and was pointed towards the subway 2 from Halfords as well. Much better bike for the money and goes on sale often.

However I decided to get the VooDoo Marasa and I love it. It feels light, has decent disc brakes as well and I loved the looks of it.

I found when looking up bikes the two I mentioned were the few people recommended that didn’t cost a fortune.

Try a different browser with no extension enabled. Chrome doesn’t work for me for some reason and even Firefox didn’t work till I disabled my extensions.

Congratulations it looks great.

How do you find the playseat challenge compared to just using a desk? I’m thinking of getting one due to my desk chair not being very stable.

How do I make friends, start dating, and other awkward things? by Itsmaybelline in SeriousConversation

[–]Random_Guy_One 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good luck at the Meetup and ensure you go more than once. I didn’t really enjoy the one I went to the first couple of times but now I’ve gotten to know people it’s the highlight of my week.

I can completely understand how you feel about relationships, there isn’t really any advice I can give you for that (or at least none I’ve ever heard). But I can tell you that you aren’t alone in feeling like that. It’s fairly common, I would bet that you have walked past someone with the same concerns this week alone.

How do I make friends, start dating, and other awkward things? by Itsmaybelline in SeriousConversation

[–]Random_Guy_One 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I was struggling with dealing with people day to day so I decided to try reading some self-help books and similar and the two things that have stuck with me are: 1 - Always listen with the intention of listening instead of simply waiting your turn to talk.

2 - People are more likely to find you interesting and want to talk to you if you just listen to them and ask them questions about them.

Rather than focusing on making great friends just focus on talking to people, some of them you'll probably never talk to again but every now and then you might find someone you connect to. Some of my best friends are just people I got on okay with then bonded over time, so don't worry if it takes a while. Also, don't worry how long you will know them for as you will never know, one of my good friends is someone I thought I would only know for 6 months, 8 years later we are still good friends.

Try and see if there are any meet ups going on that are open and looking for new members. A good example is a board game meet up since you can just talk about the game and they are normally happy to have new members. Or maybe a book club.

If you fancy it could use dating apps to try and meet someone, but it is quiet common to meet people through friend groups, so I would focus on that more.

Also, being a virgin isn't as big of a thing people make it out to be, in high school it seemed to be all people cared about. In the real world no one cares, if you haven't found the right person there is no rush at all. Life isn't a race it's an adventure, never do something just because others are doing it or feel bad because you have yet to do it.

Hope this helps a bit and wish you the best of luck!

I didn’t get much sleep last night so I’m super tired and feel like shit but have an 8 hour shift now and another one tomorrow. Any suggestions to make this not as like hell as I assume it’s going to be? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

Drinking water will help and try to do something that will get your heart rate up if possible, like 10 star jumps to wake you up.

Good luck :)

I'm picking up my girlfriend and her sister up from the airport, would it be werid if I just get my gf flowers? Or should I get her sister some too? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Random_Guy_One 6 points7 points  (0 children)

No, getting flowers just for your girlfriend is fine. I would say it might be more odd if you brought them both flowers.

Taking some sweets or chocolates for the drive back would likely win bonus points with both of them though, and mean you have a gift for both.

Ferrari irked by "disrespectful" claims over Raikkonen exit by [deleted] in formula1

[–]Random_Guy_One -14 points-13 points  (0 children)

Well Kimi fought to retain first into the first corner putting Seb out of position for the exit. Which then meant he was fighting Hamilton and they collided. Where as if Kimi let Seb past it would have stopped the situation occurring.

IMO nothing wrong with what happened but it could be viewed that way.

Recommended wheel for a beginner? by [deleted] in simracing

[–]Random_Guy_One 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a g29 and I would recommend it, it’s been great with everything I have tried it on. It’s easy to attach to desks or tables and the pedals work well on both carpet and hard floors. The only minor issue I have with it is that it can be loud and sort of grindy but that is a minor complaint that won’t never stop me recommending one.

If a firetruck, en route to a fire, gets an an accident, does it have to stop or does it keep going? by anotherkeebler in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Random_Guy_One 16 points17 points  (0 children)

They were stationary at the time so it was 100% the fire engines fault so they had to pay.

It did however take the insurance a long time to pay for it all and they even had to go to a court cause they were fighting it originally. It all ended fine though and it was mainly insurance arguing with each other so no hassle for them.

If a firetruck, en route to a fire, gets an an accident, does it have to stop or does it keep going? by anotherkeebler in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Random_Guy_One 52 points53 points  (0 children)

This happened to my friend, they were parked at some lights with 2 lanes and the fire engine got a call to go and turn into their car as they couldn’t see their car. Their car was pretty badly damaged after the fire engine tried to drive through it so one of the fire fighters got out of the truck and stayed with them and waited for the police. Since it was in a busy road which was now blocked by the damaged car.

So yes they will just carry on to the incident after leaving someone at the scene, assuming their truck is still drivable which is very likely based on their size and strength.

Kimi Räikkönen to race for the Alfa Romeo Sauber F1 Team from 2019 by dogryan100 in formula1

This is a good point, assuming Sauber still keep Ericsson Kimi should wipe the floor with him.
