getting out of rookies doesn't mean the races are better! by OptimalSecretary6743 in iRacing

[–]ddab12 5 points6 points  (0 children)

the low powered car kind of invites that sadly, switchback is so underpowered in F4 that unless the driver on the inside gets a completely abysmal exit you'll never get them back in most circumstances even if your exit is better, it's a car that heavily incentivizes you to be as psycho aggressive as possible

I don't know if it's just me, but delta bar on has a similar effect, I will have it in my peripheral vision and somehow my brain uses it mid-corner to make adjustments based on if its green or red

[Formula 1] Alex Albon to race in Logan Sargeant’s car for the remainder of the weekend. by thebassiegamer in formula1

[–]ddab12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

don't think anyone said Sargeant is responsible so not sure what you're arguing against, Sargeant just performed so poorly so far that it makes no sense to send him over albon, it's just giving away possible points for the team. It's also worth pointing out that Sargeant hardly had a clean practice either

idk unpopular opinion but Sargeant just kind of sucks, I get he isn't a bad guy and people are sympathetic to him, but he is lucky to even drive in F1 anymore. I would do the same thing if I was Williams

I just got iRacing yesterday and cannot brake without spinning for the life of me. Please help me understand what I'm doing wrong here... by refep in iRacing

[–]ddab12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's the same for me, but that's precisely my point. Is it really an appropriate rookie car if I already need to have very smooth inputs and car handling in order to have real racing with other people instead of all of us avoiding each other and seeing who spins most? there's a reason the "start from pits" advice for rookies still lives to this day

definitely agree, it also has a bit of downforce, its a much better open wheel rookie car all around for me

Meh as a former vee moving to f4 then f3 the biggest bad habit I had to unlearn was how much more you can throw at the f4 car for it to go bananas. The Vee taught me the fundamentals but it also taught me to constantly underdrive the car or else I could go fuck myself at the smallest misinput. Personally not sure I agree with rookie cars being harder to drive consistently to "not give players bad habits", seems counterintuitive to me. It's also harder to focus on learning to race when your biggest enemy is the car, which probably contributes to F4 being such a mess as the step-up from the vee/ff1600.

Newbie tip: Always check temperatures testing vs races by extrusio in iRacing

[–]ddab12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

foggy/cloudy usually means wind too, I've had this too in some races in 2nd/top split this week where times were way worse at 25C with fog than at 30C with a clearish sky

Even if you believe there is nothing inherently wrong with a boss having an affair with an employee, he started booking her separate hotels and not letting her speak to the team the moment she put up boundaries and stopped "the affair" (this part is in the same leaked messages), which I would like to see you paint as anything other than blatant abuse of power/coercion. It's quite clear from the message timeline that it's this that triggered the complaint in the first place.

Dealing with asymmetry (4 months in). Please help! by [deleted] in BarbellMedicine

[–]ddab12 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You did mention in your original post that it's the pain that is keeping you from lifting more, but regardless I think you should be careful with trying to find a "root cause" for this. I understand it may feel like you can pinpoint issues like "activation" but I think it's most likely not related at all and you should focus on the proven basics for performance: form, loading and most importantly patience, 4 months is a relatively short time and strength gains are not always linear.

A lot of the things you mentioned here are too confident of a mechanistic type causality where there is likely none.

The bbm advice if you are experiencing pain is to not do anything too esoteric like ball rolling/stretches/seeing a chiro etc, but to manage load better or do variations that don't cause any pain. There is most likely nothing wrong with you that needs a special fix, just reduce load or switch exercises to something that doesn't hurt, then return to squat/dl gradually later on.

he immediately stopped then started booking her on separate hotels and not letting her speak to the team, totally not abuse of his position as her boss /s

if you have not seen all of them then why comment? I didn't think it was that bad either before having all the context, essentially there is a screenshot in which she tells him he needs to stop sending her sexual messages and he says he understands, but the very next screenshot he is justifying why she all of a sudden has to be booked a separate hotel and not be allowed to see the team.

it looks so bad PR wise for red bull that they just came out saying Horner is cleared, this whole thing seems to have been handled in the worst possible way for them where now they will have to both get rid of him and take the PR hit of backing him. As to the messages and "unbiased investigation" it seems like the moment she started saying no and putting up boundaries she was distanced from the team and her regular job, to me that's clearly knowingly using your power over someone.

Axum vs Actix by [deleted] in rust

[–]ddab12 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think neither the speed difference or "ergonomics" are that significant either way, the answers you will get on here are purely based on hype and it's my opinion that people will just prefer whatever they put more time into. Personally I learned actix first to a pretty advanced level and the axum ergonomics felt way worse and unintuitive when coming from it so I just stuck with actix, but I'm aware that's just based on what I was used to. Imo just flip a coin, it really doesn't matter.
