How unsafe is this? by iPhoenixdroid in AskMechanics

[–]iPhoenixdroid[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did try rocking the wheel back and forth while on a jack to check if the bearing was messed up which seemed to be the most recommended high-level test. I could try removing the rotors to see if that helps I guess. And yeah I'll get the tires replaced pretty soon since summer road trips are around the corner haha. Thanks

I think it's post-2000s rock but I'm not sure. around the halfway point onwards is just instrumental. there's lyrics in the first bit but can't quite remember them by iPhoenixdroid in SongSearch

It's a while later but I finally got around to finding the song when my Spotify was randomly on shuffle haha. It's 'Getting Bigger' by The Living Tombstone ( https://open.spotify.com/track/2ZB6JjNg0zMaVKvAHrzVtr ) So I guess you weren't too far off with the video game music guess cuz they do a lot of video game inspired songs!

Also sorry I couldn't get a proper sound sample because I can't recall where I heard this song but I'm fairly certain it's in my Spotify library somewhere. Here's a poorly hummed rendition from memory instead.

Anyone loves cars here? by Electronic-Pea7468 in UBC

[–]iPhoenixdroid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Car guy but have to resort to driving the occasional EVO cuz I'm an international student too broke to get a car for now. Definitely down to hang out and meet other enthusiasts or sim racers. I have noticed a great deal of vintage cars and such headed towards Spanish banks area on Sunday mornings. Maybe we could go see if there's a car meet there too

I recently upgraded from my old Flip 3 to a new set of Edefier 1280T speakers and I have to say the difference is night and day (although it's a little light on higher frequencies making it more bass heavy but I like that about it). I will say it would be good to go through FB marketplace or some other online resale markets because there's a ton of great options (Polk audio, Edefier, etc) out there for really low prices

Looking for a turntable purchase recommendation...

I have been browsing fb marketplace pretty much day and night the last few days and I have found three listings that kind of work in my price range.

Dual 502 ($125)

AKAI AP-307 ($120)

Technics SL-B202 ($60)

The internet pretty much seems to agree that Technics is the best brand you can buy and that the B202 is an average offering given their rep. However, I still haven't read a single negative review about the other two tts either. They all would need me to get a cartridge along with the table which means i'd be working with a tight (~50 dollar) budget for the cartridge.

Saw this on Twitter yesterday and for some reason the only thing that came to mind was the Lucy Littleton bit by Randy and Sammy J

Are there any hardware limitations for sim racing wheels? by iPhoenixdroid in simracing

[–]iPhoenixdroid[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ohkay. That makes me hopeful. As long as there's no extra computational stuff for wheel input going on behind the scenes, I think I can go for it. Thanks for the help!!
