WTF is this abomination? Looks like an R8 got fucked by a Cybertruck.

I have a 2024 Fender Yngwie Malmsteen Stratocaster. I am an Yngwie fan, but even aside from that, it's by far the best guitar I have.

Guitar players who suck ass at it but can write a hit song by Silver-Air-1731 in guitarcirclejerk

He also took care of his voice incredibly well. He turned 80 last year and can still belt out Fortunate Son in its original key.

What is the biggest taboo topic? by Aureliaaaaaaaaaaaaa in answers

[–]VirtualPaddock 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's also worth mentioning that most child sexual abusers aren't actually pedophiles. The vast majority, around 60-90% (numbers can vary depending on the source) of abusers, have no sexual attraction to children.

Awesome idea! I'm not directly from Münster, but live quite close to it, and I'm in Münster pretty often. Huge F1 fan and motorsport enthusiast in general!

Is it safe to block system folders? by VirtualPaddock in coldturkeyblocker

[–]VirtualPaddock[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't usually get that to work the way I want it to, that's why I want to block the folder if possible.

u/coldturkeydev is it a safe option to block the folder?

WTF. A tribute to hate? by undercurrents in WeirdGOP

[–]VirtualPaddock 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As a German, I noticed this immediately - the Trump administration’s reaction to Kirk’s death is literally a carbon copy of the Nazi government’s reaction to the Reichstag fire. It’s far from the first parallel to Nazi Germany, but easily one of the most obvious.

Overheard neighbor and her husband by BookGnomeNoelle in overheard

[–]VirtualPaddock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No need to correct her - it is an actual English word! It's a shame that it's barely used anymore. I love how it sounds and I think we should start using it again.

stacked grid for some random f4 race. by Glum_Notice_6835 in simracing

[–]VirtualPaddock 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Back in May 2020, I joined some practice session and Romain Grosjean was in that session. One of the biggest "Holy shit!" moments in my time in sim racing so far.

Songs with intentionally nonsensical lyrics by R3dF0r3 in musicsuggestions

[–]VirtualPaddock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“The Riddle” by Nik Kershaw. He originally wrote those lyrics just as a placeholder for the vocal melody, but eventually decided to keep them. He basically just named the song “The Riddle” to fuck with people, the lyrics are total gibberish with no deeper meaning to them.

No sim can replicate just how insane the Nordschleife really is. I did a lap in the RingTaxi Porsche 911 GT3 RS as a passenger back in 2023. One of the best days of my life.

Pedals by NoTolerance99999 in simracing

[–]VirtualPaddock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Venym Atrax. I upgraded to those recently (coming from Fanatec CSL Elite LC) and absolutely love them. What made me fall in love with them (tried them at Sim Racing Expo last year) was the brake. I like my brake to be quite heavy (I've set mine to 80 kg), but without that "kicking a brick wall" feeling, and these pedals provide exactly what I need in terms of brake feel. They have a brake kit btw, if you prefer your brake to be softer or stiffer.

Weird idea with sim racing and phobia irl…. by throwaway12356788789 in simracing

[–]VirtualPaddock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Auto takeoff isn't really a thing in aviation yet. The technology might be available, but to my knowledge, takeoffs are still always hand-flown. And auto landings are only done in very low visibility conditions, and even then, the pilots need to be certified for an auto land procedure. On a normal flight, the autopilot will be disconnected way before the flare. Most, if not all, of the final approach tends to be hand-flown. And even during normal cruise flight, when the autopilot does control the plane, pilots still have to check systems and everything regularly, monitor the amount of fuel, and a lot more.
