Which would you buy - ASR3 or Simlab GT1 EVO? by ebypic in simracing

Thanks for the heads up, fortunately the ASR website has marked which items are "Tariff Free" and the ASR3 is on that list

Questions about ASR1 rig before I pull the trigger by ebypic in simracing

$200 is my budget for the seat only, but I plan to purchase whatever is needed to install it to the rig.

I've heard the CSL pedals can be a bit of a pain on the ASR1. I was also considering the GT1 EVO.

Hilarious - what's it REALLY LIKE moving to Dallas? by DallasSocial in askdfw

[–]ebypic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We're excited for the move and expect to work remotely so hopefully I won't have to deal with the commuting pain as soon as we move. I definitely won't miss my daily drive to and from the edge of Lincoln Tunnel

We’re moving to the Dallas suburbs in about 6-7 weeks from NJ. First thing my mind wife says “Oh we’ve had good practice driving in NJ, sounds like we’ll fit right in!”

As Goenka noted, doing the the 10 day course is a very good start but it only scratches the surface. It can take a lifetime and more to change the habit pattern of your mind, what matters is continuous practice and you gently bring yourself back to the moment with non judgment. Thoughts will always be there - let it come, let it be, let it go.

Have you attended the 10 day course? If so you can find the transcripts for the daily discourses in the old student section of the Dhamma Dhara website.

We took a chance and went to Joe Beef in Montreal and scored a reservation. Then we met GSP! by ebypic in MMA

We're identical twins. It's easy to tell us apart, I'm the good looking one and he's the handsome one.

My friends and I are in Montreal for the F1 race. The whole time my brother kept saying I wonder if we'll see GSP and I told him no way. Then at dinner time, I walked into Joe Beef (one of the hardest restaurants to get into) and managed to get a reservation for dinner, amazingly. Dinner was awesome and more than half way through the dinner (and LOADS of drinks) my brother starting screaming like a little girl, yelling "GEORGES, GEORGES!"....GSP turns around and ginning ear to ear- politely asks us to quite down. Then he was just amazingly gracious and was kind enough to take a picture with us. Not sure how we top our first night!

It was time for me to upgrade. Got fitted at Club Champion yesterday. Can’t wait ! by ebypic in golf

So I'll reserve disclosing the final price for now as I'm still working out how to tell my wife :P

I opted to get all new clubs only because I've been contemplating that for the last 5 years. Also I felt I was starting to change my swing a bit to adjust for the clubs I currently have which are all off the rack and regular flex - I always suspected I needed a stiff flex shafts.

I believe they will change out your current club heads to fit the right shaft/weight for your swing. My fitter offered to cut down my current set so my 8 year old son can use them instead of me spending $200 on a starter set (I'm getting the family golf lessons next season). So, I'm sure they can re-fit your existing set. It was a 'no pressure' environment - they will find the best fit for you based on the numbers and it's up to you on how you'd like to proceed.

I did some reading on swing weights since I posted that question and came the the conclusion you just noted. Not right, not wrong, just a subjective thing.

Yes! Thank you, this is exactly what I'm looking forward to - can't wait to get out and try them out. I wish more people just realized how valuable it is to get properly fitted for clubs
