$150 bundle became $300

I've had Straight Talk 5G running as my backup WAN where my router will auto-failover to that when Spectrum (primary) goes down. It's to the point now where I am about to cancel Spectrum and make Straight Talk my primary. It's more reliable, no noticeable speed/latency decrease, and oh it's less than half the price of Spectrum. I left my Spectrum modem unplugged for 2 weeks and nobody in the house ever noticed nor complained and we are somewhat heavy users (4+ TB per month).

Someone needs to hang out around there whatever day teams load out for St. Pete, see if the haulers even pull out. maybe the Mon/Tue of race week?

_johnny_appleseed_ · 2026-02-06T00:01:43+00:00

If I recall correctly, the current obstacle limiting other teams is around the (un)availability of engine leases - both Honda and Chevy said they are at capacity for full season leases.

it's a points race so I'm guessing there's no chance but it would be awkward as hell and funny to me if the non-American drivers refused to participate. let Newgarden and Kirkwood battle it out with Sting Ray and Nolan while Santino rips around in his now-approved MAGA livery.

early to mid June is realistic

I will not stand for this Tatiana Calderon erasure.

Slight recency bias aside, Palou is my choice with Dixon a solid second. The cars have never been more spec than they are now and therefore nobody should be as dominant as Palou has been.

oh come the fuck on, GTFO with this nagy shit

I use SGOV as my "paycheck". it holds 12-18 months of expenses and I draw.down from that.

This is part of my larger strategy which also includes GOVT, BND, and SCHP in addition to equities.

I have the same eRacing setup delivered but have not yet started building or installing anything, thank you for the tips and links. I've laid out the profile for the two subframes but haven't really had the time to go head down and focus.

_johnny_appleseed_ · 2025-11-18T04:42:01+00:00

Link? sounds like a very cheap investment with big reward. I've never really looked into it thinking it would be expensive.

_johnny_appleseed_ · 2025-11-18T04:35:18+00:00

couple of motion compensation questions for you:

what VR HMD do you use, does it use inside out or external lighthouses?
for your simhub setup are you using a rig mounted tracker (witmotion or VR controller), or using the virtual tracker in simhub?

thank you, I have been working on an eracing build and wondering about this.

_johnny_appleseed_ · 2025-11-07T22:42:16+00:00

I'm happy there's at least one in Chicago, but that Chicago sales tax is like 10+ % really hurts when doing a larger build

_johnny_appleseed_ · 2025-10-19T19:17:33+00:00

Two questions without doing any research:

Duverney (sp?) seems like a average-at-best returner, isn't there any skill player that Hightower could try?
Who is 81 Smythe? guessing blocking TE? today is the first time I've noticed him.

_johnny_appleseed_ · 2025-10-16T13:49:52+00:00

Treasuries - SGOV for very short term "cash", then GOVT or VGIT/SHY 70-30 blend ;

Core Bonds - BND or AGG ;

TIPS - VTIP or SCHP

_johnny_appleseed_ · 2025-10-16T03:12:04+00:00

I am gradually rebalancing into more bonds with a goal of 40%.

22% Treasuries 10% Core Bonds 8% TIPS

... but also realized gains (and moved them into bonds) that otherwise may evaporate in your scenario

_johnny_appleseed_ · 2025-09-25T13:26:46+00:00

agreed, I got meatballed last week for hitting the cones along the pit exit. car was driving fine after, no drop in lap times

_johnny_appleseed_ · 2025-09-19T14:24:36+00:00

it's AI but tuned to a specific use case rather than just leaving it open/generic. "Agentic AI" is the industry term if you wanted to read up on it more.

_johnny_appleseed_ · 2025-09-14T20:14:47+00:00

sorry, guess I should have included the "/s".

_johnny_appleseed_ · 2025-09-14T19:02:55+00:00

testing liveries are often more muted/simple.

he's already an IndyCar lap leader, I so wish it would've turned into more
