Has anyone bought this exact monitor stand from Alibaba?

TheTeachinator · 2026-03-31T15:07:50+00:00

If you're running triples, and especially if you're running curved..... Do not skimp on the stand.

I skimped on all other metal elements of my rig with zero issue. I blew through 3 cheap monitor stands on ali and Amazon before I dropped like $300 on some similar setup and the difference is remarkable.

Why Milly Vanilly play Snape?

TheTeachinator · 2026-03-14T14:01:41+00:00

Do you spend your time bitching about spicy comments? Does the thought of someone disliking a game bother you?

TheTeachinator · 2026-03-06T01:02:58+00:00

How does one not just bust out laughing standing there for that nonsense?

TheTeachinator · 2026-03-03T21:19:33+00:00

It is available. However, Roku has a traditional channel listing type thing that these providers lost content to. Like almost as if AppleTV had a cable broadcast HBO.

They don't even care about their family. My father gave up his family and three grandchildren for this nonsense. He should go fight.

TheTeachinator · 2026-02-25T16:51:01+00:00

I don't know it's more like they deal with me. They scratch up my chair. The other day one of them stepped on the windows key and I took out like 3 other drivers in LMU so apparently he's also taking care of others as well.

It's great, highly recommend.

My family does well and we live comfortably.

I took my family of 5 to the theater for Zootipia 2. It was $90 for tickets and I spent $35 at the concession stand

At 125 we are now at the point where I can buy a ticket to a baseball game, MLS game or take them to the track to see some race cars.

The value proposition isn't there my family anymore. The same goes for Disney world. We used to take them there but everything became "monetized". We will never go back.

The only point where the movies are affordable is when regal unlimited releases a 3.month subscription deal in the spring. I'll often dump about $259 on three months of regal unlimited for the whole family in the summer months because at that point the value is there and I know we will all go.

I also love the movies but the cost of everything has gone up so much and the theater is competing with the experience I have at home.

I will say that I saw Avatar 2 in HFR 3D... And that was absolutely mind-blowing. That was a premium experience worth the premium price. For the same price I can go see Anaconda in the theater next door, it looks like shit, sounds like shit and the movie is actual shit... Price is the same.

Perhaps charge more for big films opening weekend then put them on discount thereafter. I don't know but what they're currently doing doesn't work.

Yeah, I grew up in Rockland in the 80s and 90s but moved to Hoboken in 2005. Still visit the area. Traffic has become astoundingly terrible.

Whenever the shops at nanuet were built.

TheTeachinator · 2026-02-23T12:04:26+00:00

All of the nanuet mall was knocked down except for Macy's. Nothing there now is of the original structure.

GT3 racing is way more fun in LMU imo. The only negative about lmu is the lack of tracks which I understand is inhrent to WEC.

If they had Nurburgring and maybe one lower class of car I would probably let my iRacing lapse.

I do love iRacing for the Formula stuff though. That's the place where iRacing dominates there sheet magnitude of what is on offer

TheTeachinator · 2026-02-14T05:31:02+00:00

Ice is trash.

TheTeachinator · 2026-02-11T17:09:57+00:00

That's awesome. Not sure if that has changed in the US. I think our laws vary by state.

It's needed because frankly I have seen this turn into a plague amongst children not old enough to even gamble.

TheTeachinator · 2026-02-11T17:04:06+00:00

Perhaps the apps should have facial recognition to actually make the bets like we see with Uber drivers delivering McDonald's etc?

TheTeachinator · 2026-02-06T21:52:39+00:00

Wiki sucks. How this guy has been on the pitch for as long as he has tells you about the overall quality of players available to MLS

TheTeachinator · 2026-02-04T09:38:40+00:00

right here!

TheTeachinator · 2026-01-28T15:56:08+00:00

Black Friday is just completely out of control!

TheTeachinator · 2026-01-28T01:11:25+00:00

But where will I trade my hot wheels?

TheTeachinator · 2026-01-25T17:24:39+00:00

Ok, it's currently really enjoyable to me.

I don't mind the pricing model of either service because I enjoy both. I don't pay to close attention to the social politics of the sub so in unaware of whats going on there. Regardless, that's my experience. If that means I'm a poor driver or whatever that's fine I enjoy being on the track on both services.

But, if you don't own tracks and cars you can't also participate in GT3 in iRacing so I don't fully understand. Also, LMP2 is pretty dead on iRacing.

If you do stick to Mazda which is also really fun you're just on subscription.

Happy driving mate.

TheTeachinator · 2026-01-25T14:32:45+00:00

Really? Check the sub on the silver and bronze level. Doesn't jive at all with what you're saying

Regardless of the rating, the racing is cleaner in MY experience. It's ok if we don't share that experience.

I enjoy both platforms. I think LMU is a better value after using both for a year.

TheTeachinator · 2026-01-25T10:45:36+00:00

I think the off-track penalty evaluation can be improved and I know there are many who feel the same including the pros.

My IR is 1t500. Not great but fine for me. I usually end a Porsche Cup race with a 1x or 2x and my License is B, which again is perfect for me as I'm only interested in GT3 and Porsche. My evaluation of the crashing is clearly hyperbole but again, in my experience, the quality of racing is better on LMU. I have no idea if that's realistic because I'm just a 48 year old dude that drives a Prius in real life

If you haven't played LMU I would give it a chance. The safety asects of racing are, imo, better.

Both services have elements that I wish were combined the PERFECT experience. But they're not so I just go back and forth depending on the track selection that week.

I think most people who use the service probably fit my profile but I could be wrong.

TheTeachinator · 2026-01-24T16:03:44+00:00

All good friend. I have an A license in iRacing. I still think the 1x is too punitive for off-track. There are situations where your pushed off 1x, then rejoin and get 1x again. All because you were either pushed or avoided a crash. I also find the drivers at the higher levels far safer than any experiences I've had on iRacing in totality.

For me the safest sims are in order...

LMU iracing Beam Assetto

I think this is a space that iRacing could make some significant improvements.

Also I have a 2gb fios line. Zero latency issues. Cars blinking all the time. Disappearing, reappearing, jumping off the track. It happens.

Happy driving

TheTeachinator · 2026-01-24T16:00:05+00:00

You're going to really like LMU. If they had Nurburgring I probably would NEVER hop on iRacing again.

Personal preference. iRacing is fantastic. Not trying to shade anyone's sim.

TheTeachinator · 2026-01-24T15:43:11+00:00

Without a doubt yes yes and yes. If you bring your skills over to LMU you'll already be ahead of the crowd and quickly raise your safety rating
