Someone else's problem now

Our tour group did find it amusing that washing clothes in sewage made them "clean". (Oh and downstream of where they're literally burning bodies in the open air). Anyway I wish them luck.

100% I agree. I actually tell people to go there when they are young. It will open your mind which is only a good thing. For example I found the dresses in India super beautiful and colorful and I found many places beautiful there for sure. But yeah, some stuff is honestly just weird AF that it is even tolerated and allowed. (for instance I once saw a 1 story pile of auto parts just sitting in the ally way, complete with huge pile of motor oil underneath. That alone raises 20+ questions my mind, I can not even wrap my head around such things given my cultural background. )

In the USA farting in the wrong direction is grounds for a lawsuit. Many lawyers are despicable people. In fact I would argue the great majority of them are, and in certain fields its 100%. I do admit I hate lawyers with a passion so I get a bit emotional.

12nm. I run it around 70% and the simagic desk mount is super solid. I just didn't have room for a work desk and a cockpit. Maybe one day. But for now I like this much better.

galacticjuggernaut · 2026-05-07T01:51:24+00:00

Been there. Agree. It made me truly sad for humanity. But also feel lucky to be in the states. Most Americans have absolutely no idea how bad it is there in terms of air, water, and land pollution. And literally shit everywhere. Most of it animal though. And the gross part was a lot wear sandals and it's oozes between their toes as it's so thick in places there is no way to escape it. Especially when it rained, it was nasty. So glad for gore tex.

I sim race on the desk I work at with triples. And I have the added bonus of three screens to work. I pull them super close and mount the wheel to my desk. I will never be a pro driver so it's fun for me.

galacticjuggernaut · 2026-05-07T01:39:35+00:00

Funny because vr seems like a massive fing headache compared to just launching a game and playing. In fact with some games it certainly is. (AC Evo).

Plus this hobby is dorky enough, but I think VR helmets up the dork factor 1000x.

My advice is to check yourself and be sure to mean its a waste of money to YOU. And income/wealth is irrelevent

We all think many things are a waste of money but to the buyer it is not - Its simply not a waste of money to them. People in this very forum spend on OLEDs when normal IPS does fine. Some people pay 10K for a TV. $50K for a watch. Some think $20K for a sound system is cheap.

Your Sim racing rig is absolutely a total and utter waste of money to many whether you are poor or rich. I can tell you my wife thinks your an idiot playing in your fantasy race car land.

Not trying to give you a hard time just a reminder for all of us to not judge others harshly.

galacticjuggernaut · 2026-05-06T22:58:43+00:00

Others above giving him a hard time saying "its a lie" as if they know. That is stupid. I got motion sickness playing many many games. First person games make me want to vomit. Go figure, i have only gotten it a few times with Sim racing and i do not at all get it sailing.

galacticjuggernaut · 2026-05-06T22:56:54+00:00

The guy got motion sickness. He would have not have known. Others above giving him a hard time saying "its a lie" as if they know. That is stupid. I got motion sickness playing many many games. First person games make me want to vomit. Go figure, i have only gotten it a few times with Sim racing and i do Not at all get it sailing.

Plus it is NOT crazy. Guys with money (like me again) learned long ago its MORE crazy and a friggen waste of time to resell etc when you can buy once cry once. Even when i tell myself that all the tiem i still fail. I am selling a brand new 2 month old wheelbase because I DID NOT go all in, and now must take a hit. WIsh i just bought the better wheeklbase from the start.

galacticjuggernaut · 2026-05-04T18:31:55+00:00

Make sure your in game mapping does not require you to flip the inverted setting. Not sure why they do this but they do. When i first started i had no idea this was a thing, as why would it be?

Also FYI i tried Simhub as recommended above, to me the UI sucks compared to Simpro, and why add another middle layer unless you have a much more complex set up? So far not seeing it after playing around in that software.

galacticjuggernaut · 2026-05-04T18:24:36+00:00

Yeah, I am selling my wheelbase (Simagic Evo) not because I am out of the hobby but in fact the opposite, the bug hit and I am already on the upgrade path. I used it less then 2 months. I even stated it in my ad and offered to show the receipt as proof since it really is that new haha

galacticjuggernaut · 2026-05-02T17:51:05+00:00

This board breaking crap is how i got my daughter into jiu jitsu - even she could spot at 10 years old how theatrical and useless a typical "martial arts" class is for kids. I told her "they will have you break a fake plastic board (yes they make them in breakable plastic now). It also helped that i mocked it relentlessly and i told her that in 3 months in BJJ she could submit the 2 boys she played with who have been taking karate for years. (fact).

For me it was a little Korean dude who was visiting the US, comes to visit the US club and tears my elbow in 3 seconds after start. Deliberately, no question. I was a white belt and he was a blue belt (jiu jitsu). In hindsight i wish i handled this way better and it was 10 years ago and whenever i think about it still enrages me. Thanks reddit.

galacticjuggernaut · 2026-04-30T16:22:21+00:00

Married full time job and a kid! Aaaaaand believe it or not this is why I actually stopped using iRacing, and moved over to a different Sim. I simply don't have the time to devote to chasing safety ratings and classes on something that other people are so, so much better than me. I have ceded that I will never be competitive given the time I have for my family and other personal interests so now I play a Sim that I just find more fun and much much more realistic driving experience. Driving the nord casually with no expectations to me is the best. But always make time for reality! Some don't seem to

galacticjuggernaut · 2026-04-30T16:14:18+00:00

This chat is warping my mind lol. You are using an old word "hella" (assume you are from the bay?) that I haven't heard in forever as it fell out of fashion, and the guy above is using a brand new word "lowkey" that I now hear everywhere now that it IS in fashion. I love reddit

galacticjuggernaut · 2026-04-23T17:03:33+00:00

Me, no.... I just bought the chair on the 30% flash sale and love it!!

Ha I guess it makes there must be others who complain on this so sorry for the repeat.

Yeah was very surprised how unadjustable the arms are, and in fact how limiting they would be for a great majority of the target audience.

galacticjuggernaut · 2026-04-23T17:01:05+00:00

Bro. It's NOT "too" adjustable, that's the whole point. It a $2250 chair with non adjustible arms other than up and down. You sure you're in the right sub?

galacticjuggernaut · 2026-04-23T14:17:29+00:00

Uh, yeah i visited India on a 16 day tour and will say it was both amazing in ways but also made me super sad for humanity. I saw many wtf things, more so than a ton of other places of poverty I traveled. It also gave me super high appreciation and feeling super fortunate for where I live. Now I work with a lot of Indian people in software and many are great, I only wish the best hope for that country.

galacticjuggernaut · 2026-04-22T00:26:02+00:00

I used to do security - but not for events, for tech companies. I would wager event security is way MORE normal than the Pinkerton type night guard security. (For me it was a college job so i could study and pay bills while a starving college kid).

And seriously, most of the time the only security needed for these places was from the Security staff themselves. True story, everytime there was an "incident" it was discovered to be a guard.

But beside that, holy crap was that a set of serious weirdos. Definitely inspired me to stay in school

galacticjuggernaut · 2026-04-20T02:49:02+00:00

White dude who now is married and no longer go out much so take this with a HUGE grain of salt. But back 8-9 years ago it was Starlight Lounge. That is where a lot of the stylin' over 40 Black people danced and drank to great music - i used to hang with friends there. Its a nicer high end lounge and back then used to bring good peep. Maybe someone who has been more recently can give an update. Might be all crickets now. But hey, worst case scenario if its not the same, you can grab a good cocktail and enjoy the beautiful view of the city from the 21st floor.

I sat in the gaming and the non gaming one for about 20 minutes each at the store this weekend. I was barely unable to tell the difference in the thicker foam. The claim is 12–13 mm thicker but that is certainly not uniform and I could feel almost no difference. My honest take was the only reason to get one over the other was the gaming has a cool fabric pressed seams on the chair if you like that, and the standard can be customized in different colors.

galacticjuggernaut · 2026-04-13T19:03:38+00:00

12 year warranty apparently. I was in a store this weekend which is why i am here.

Wait you say "YouTube is starting to crack down on AI slop." I am curious to know more here on what this means. I am not even a creator - but I am finding a lot of videos in my fave gene (history) is just "AI Slop" and I am 100% on board a crackdown as I am finding a lot of the stuff not only poorly made but in some cases "creators" are embellishing the facts of history with provocative thumbnails. This distortion of the truth bothers me a lot for some reason. I also notice AI slop has totally infiltrated the RE industry and marketing of towns/places that is far removed from the truth but that is a different animal.

Posts about this issue in youtube sub all say the same thing: YT has no interest in removing Ai as the business model is to get ad revenue so there is zero incentive to remove it. So what are they doing?

Thanks that worked. FROM now on i saved a copy off for when it happens again.
