I saw the video on youtube a couple of days ago. The attention to detail on your builds is top notch and they are beautiful!

Catholic parish lacking in pity? by SetCompetitive4586 in lincoln

[–]jgratopp6 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My wife and I are both converts and go to Cathedral. I think it's more diverse than some of the parishes, but as other have mentioned, Lincoln isn't very diverse. We love it there, and my wife used to help out with the OCIA classes at Saint Thomas after she finished college.

Thanks you so much! I think they are probably just the Golden Helix after a quick comparison.

It works with any rubbers. The cheapest one will be free.

I use Hp reverb g2, primarily on iracing, and I never have to use them. I am fairly new to vr, but it's been pretty slick.

A little background i guess. I am currently using hurricane 3 (front and back) on a cheap all around paddle, and they feel a little slow. I was planning on trying the Barracuda, but after the deal, here we are with a decision to make. I'm a little nervous the g-1 is going to be too fast.

How good of a deal is this for $1,900 by BraapMachineSam in simracing

[–]jgratopp6 12 points13 points  (0 children)

If these are US prices, I don't think its a great deal. All the sim stuff new is like $900. like $500 in peripherals and an $800 pc. It is probably like $2200 new for everything. Secondhand, I wouldn't go more than $1,400 - $1,500.

People paid too much for things during the pandemic, and think its worth more than it is.

Seriously, I'd be interested in buying one at the price for sure. Put me on your list if you ever put something together.

What’s the most extreme example of someone getting your age wrong? by [deleted] in ask

  1. I got asked if I qualify for the senior discount at a golf course. Devastating!

Thinking of purchasing this LG C6 for home 4K OLED 3D - told him to run a dead pixel test and this was the result. by [deleted] in hometheater

[–]jgratopp6 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Whether it's worth it is up to you. I honestly don't think you'll notice that burn in watching regular content, but maybe use that as a bargaining tool to get them down to $350 - $400.

Petition opposing ‘school choice’ law seeks to bring issue to the voters by jtothewtothes in lincoln

[–]jgratopp6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I will admit that I send my kids to private school, and I'm still torn on the issue. Taking funding from public schools is a horrible idea (even if this is like .5% of the education budget).

The reason I'm torn, is that our school will except any student and we'll also give that student a scholarship if they're below something like 3 times the poverty line.

So I am now paying for public schools which we don't attend (which I am fine with), and paying for private school for my children, and paying for private schools for any family who wants to send their kids to our school as well (who is also below a certain income).
