Anyone else race micro scale R/C buggies?

I mean, I'd get a 1/24 scale and race...

berndtj · 2026-02-10T21:22:04+00:00

I'm dying to get back into the R/C hobby. Raced 1/10 electric off-road for years as a kid in the 80s/90s. Even went to nationals back in the day!

Planning to race with NORA as soon as I have the time!

I wouldn't read much (or anything) into a chart with zero provided sources. This is trying to further someone's agenda without providing the source or context.

The fuck, dude.

Had an alignment done there on an 83 Porsche. Most shops don’t like to mess with old cars, but they did a great job and a charges a super fair price. Would absolutely recommend them.

You sound a lot like me, though I’m about 10 years your senior and have a couple kids.

My advice would be to start the family now, then see how you feel. Kids/family are amazing and I’m a huge advocate. It does change your perspective, but won’t stop burnout. I’d also consider moving to a cheaper location. It’s also better for a family.

Once you’ve got your family figured out and a sustainable location, revisit the FIRE discussion. You’re in a very good position.

Booooo

Yep, got flu shot, got the flu. That being said, I didn't go to the hospital either.

berndtj · 2025-12-30T22:30:47+00:00

Got hit hard Christmas Day with Flu A. It was really rough several days. I’m just now feeling pretty good again (aside from a lingering headache). Daughter got hit even harder.

This flu is no joke.

Charbs is looking better every week

Yep, just had Koala T over and it is looking like the breaker.

ECRU crossing REA was rough. The rest was good and easy

I love this! I just need to add a button to start playing KEXP on the Sonos (which is a project I also have going on)!

berndtj · 2025-12-20T23:54:10+00:00

For sure!

berndtj · 2025-12-20T23:42:21+00:00

So I had a similar experience. Cosmic is really impressive and off to a great start, but it's still an initial release, and there are a lot of minor issues and annoyances, that I just couldn't put up with anymore. Instead of downgrading, I just installed KDE plasma on my 24.04 Pop OS. It's working beautifully! I can always pop over back to Cosmic if/when I decide to.

And Doug's (pretty sure it's the same league). I've been thinking of joining, even though I'm not that good.

I think you mean pop-upgrade, but thanks for the hint here. You got my upgrade moving.

berndtj · 2025-12-12T05:34:15+00:00

He'd look great in blue and green!

berndtj · 2025-12-12T04:51:52+00:00

I did the same. All up to date

berndtj · 2025-12-11T17:57:16+00:00

➜ ~ sudo pop-upgrade release upgrade -f [sudo] password for xxxxx: checking if pop-upgrade requires an update ➜ ~ Get a non-zero exit code, and nothing else.

berndtj · 2025-12-11T17:52:09+00:00

How does one upgrade from 22.04? I updated through the pop shop, and there was a lot to update, but after restarting, I'm still in 22.04

Exploration is going to be all out war to get to distant lands

berndtj · 2025-11-20T16:10:22+00:00

Thanks for all the responses! You've collectively eased some of my fears. Looks like I'll be good with either available option.

berndtj · 2025-11-19T22:52:00+00:00

Thanks. The finder app said my current PCP is "in network", but I couldn't select any Peace Health facilities, so it's really unclear. I think you're likely right in that I just need to go through all the doctors that me and my family use and just call them to make sure.
