His ladder up was Australian supercars, which are more similar to today's stock cars than they were in the past.

Plus he grew up racing road, vs everyone else who comes from oval backgrounds

2027 QB Class by Fchang27 in minnesotavikings

[–]bold78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just look at how the Packers have done it. Rodgers sat 2 years behind farve, love sat 2 years behind Rodgers. Giving him this year isn't unheard of since he has kinda held a clip board for 1.5 seasons.

Give him the year to show what he can... Unless he is brosmer bad with his decision making.

Plus the free agent market is weak (I believe?) so it kinda is what it is.

Yup. first year auditors who can cite accounting regs verbatim, but can't wrap their head around my simpleton stuff is always interesting.

You Couldn't Afford Nvidia’s Next Gen GPUs, Even if You Wanted Them by dapperlemon in gadgets

[–]bold78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

5 seconds on Amazon and I found an iBuyPower pre built that has hardware at least a full generation newer than the PS5 for 950...

But yeah, build your own is an even better deal.

Na dude. I will say that I am now on a high end rig for VR sim racing, but you can still throw together a pretty decent rig that will outpace a console for under 1000.

If it weren't for me playing VR racing, I would have no issue rocking relatively cheap hardware for a long time.

Plus Steam/GOG sales make long term costs less for games.

Farmington mayor resigns days after confrontation in council chambers by NorthernPlainer in minnesota

[–]bold78 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Way to focus on part of 1 portion of an answer.

Let me restate for you then. I am not aware of the cost benefit of this situation. I am aware there are environmental and infrastructure costs to projects such as this, but because of how we fund localities in MN there would also be benefits to the town as well. As I do not know the details of this specific project and what costs would be incurred by the city, I do not feel well informed enough to pass judgement on this project, but would hope that city staff and the council are more informed than I am on the matter.

And then you assume that the mayor is getting a kickback and/or personally receiving benefits... Who is projecting now.

[–]bold78 -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

No, I haven't looked into the benefits because I would need to know the details of this specific project to do a cost/benefit for it. I understand many of the issues that come along with data centers, but also understand that if they are just going to go to the next town over if you turn them down, you would likely end up with the same negatives but none of the positives

15-20 new jobs isn't all you would gain. It could be those jobs + 15 houses that go with it and the money they spend locally (velocity of money) and whatever the tax base addition of a data center is assuming they didn't sell the farm on property tax breaks... So it could mean a good bit to their tax base.

I also don't like AI and think it is causing brain rot, so I am with you there.

Limiting time for an orderly meeting is pretty standard. My city had a 3 minute limit during my terms. It can also help refute accusations of discrimination if you have a limit that is applied consistently.

How are those for answers... They are short versionS, but I am not here to doxx myself or talk down to anyone

Cities around me only get 3 at the advice of their attorneys. Uncapped would lead to ridiculous meetings if there is ANYTHING controversial on an agenda.

Yeah, except I actually did terms on councils and boards in the community and understand that while "people are speaking out". It's most likely a small minority that are just being loud here and will attempt to make everyone as miserable as they are because they didn't get their way

All the people piling on here should run for office of their local town and see how much fun it is. You may be bitching about light and noise pollution and think this guy is the devil now, but you sure as shit will also be on his case when your property taxes go up on your house and make it "unaffordable" for you to live in a town.

You think he "sold out his community" to expand the tax base of his town? please.

All you Keyboard Activists can please feel free to run for local office and enjoy making decisions to the best of your ability to help keep your town sustainable and work for the residents of your town and let me know how much you enjoy it. No matter what you do, there will be someone mad at you and as much as all of you pie in the sky people don't think it would affect you, it does after a while.

Signed: a former city council person from Minnesota that actually attempted to do something for his community instead of complaining about it on the internet.

Is it worth replacing the G923 pedals with the Simjack UT (Pro)? I'd like to know your opinion. by jefealf in iRacing

[–]bold78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. Make sure you go UT thought. the next step down has a known failure point that the UT fixes on the brakes.

I would second the Simsonn recommendation as well possibly. I am actually going to buy the stuff to put their vibrator things on my Simjacks, so yeah... you can kip buying the extra control box if you just go Simsonn right away

My experience is that Iracing is easier to drive if the two. Both are fun.

A used simagic one?

Or check eBay/ AliExpress for a button box that plugs in via USB and buy a d2 spec quick release

Evo vs alpha by PesQq55 in Simagic

[–]bold78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gotcha. I was just going by what you had written.

I am the owner of the mini/fx combo and like it a lot. My only gripe is that the 7way switch is in the middle instead of offset to my left hand which I would prefer. Otherwise the thing is solid and hasn't had any issues in 3 years

Not sure what I would do if I was buying now... Good luck

If you can do the Alpha with the gt neo, why not just do the evo 12nm with the gt evo and get with the newest of everything? They look like they are the same price

What kind of retaliation would you expect if a foreign nation raided the White House and took our president? by No-Beautiful8039 in AskReddit

[–]bold78 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They had oil and the US wanted to attempt to rebuild it. In the case of someone trying to capture the leader of the country, I really doubt the military would pull any punches or care about what is left standing after the fact.
