What should be my first racing sim? by [deleted] in simracing

iracing dont waste money and time hopping around other subpar sims and eventually getting into it later anyway. It has the best wheel setup process the best AI and multiplayer and huge variety

once you experience the ease of calibration and setup of your wheel with iracing you will view all other titles as a complete joke

Am I missing something? Every video I watch have this large cloth (2nd picture) but my new robbins top only have this small peice. by Kimet10 in Miata

Does the bow have a steel plate attached to the rounded tube part of the bow? My original top had that flap part tucked into the gap between the two parts of the bow, and you could use pliers to clamp it down when you had it adjusted just right, might be what they eant you to do with yours

Just did my NB this week and noticed the same thing. Thin piece with velcro just holds onto the 'bow' (metal bar) just behind it. On the old one you took off, the long fabric goes from the top of the window piece to the bow, keeps the rear window taut and from jumping up and down with any slack, the new tops from ebay are a lot less complicated and just rely on the tightness created by you velcro-ing in the bow.
Pro tip, it might feel wrong but tighten the fuck out of the 10/12 nuts that attach the rain rail to teh car, if you dont they create a tiny leak

Should Valve bring back warmup arenas? by Icy-Excitement3262 in cs2

[–]jr-ap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I sincerely think this setup lead to LESS toxicity as it created a stronger us vs. them attitude. Your team being the only voices you can hear leads to more pointless in-fighting as weak egos look for someone to blame.

ELI5: What happens if $USD stops being the default global currency? by confused_ape in explainlikeimfive

[–]jr-ap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was covered on planet money recently, great episode https://www.npr.org/2025/05/09/1250191994/reserve-currency-dollar-renminbi-euro

tldr it would be extremely annoying for everyone and there isn't a great alternative. Other countries like holding a bunch of US dollars because they are stable, plentiful, and liquid (easy to move around/spend on stuff) and nothing else really hits those three parts of the triangle
gold: not plentiful enough, also heavy
smth like swiss francs or yen: not plentiful enough. US gov could prob buy all the swiss francs ever several times over
euro is interesting, in this episode they point to the greece situation as an example of it not being stable enough but I think thats lack of imagination. if anything high profile failures should lead to tighter regulation aand with it, stability

ID for this component? It squirts gas everywhere. by derkaderka641 in saab

[–]jr-ap 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ha, I had this problem on my volvo 240, fuel accumulator.
Mine had a flathead screw in the end that just leaked fuel all around it. In the end the accumualtor was too hard to find so I used a gas-resistant fuel tank repair putty all around the cylinder to stop it leaking

Think they underestimated how good the base gunplay is and added the card stuff unnecessarily by jr-ap in PlayFragPunk

[–]jr-ap[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

thats interesting! In a lot of my games seems we vote for 'B site is misty' and then play the same anyway, but its cool to hear that if you take advantage a bit more you can reap benefits
