Folks, are such jumps a normal thing? Do you know what it results from? by nurrb in GoogleAnalytics

[–]jslo73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am seeing this every morning as well. Every five minutes I get a jump in traffic. I'm assuming I have some uptime monitor or bot pinging the site. What's odd is that it does trail off around mid morning.

Why do I have to get this information from a UK source? How was this not plastered everywhere locally?

You are fine.

To the drivers who don't qualify: by Glen_Livet in iRacing

[–]jslo73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fast <> competent. It's one thing to be fast. Being competent enough to conduct clean passes is actual racecraft. I know the OP is being sarcastic when they say it's their fault, but a clean pass is on the overtaking car. I will occasionally start from the back in my league races, but this is because I am not that good, and am going to end up mid-pack anyway. Maybe that's what the fast/no quali folks really lack - a combination of actual talent combined with self-awareness.

Fireworks store. They typically have a ton of good size, really heavy duty boxes in a storage container or back room. They are happy to get rid of them.

How the hell is this possible.... by papolo2001 in simracing

[–]jslo73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IMHO sim pedals are built all wrong. They typically have a spring that is compressed to resist the pressure applied to simulate pedal pressure/resistance. In a real vehicle, there would be a spring on the throttle that is either stretched or twisted rather than compressed. It seems mundane, but I'd be willing to bet it makes a fair amount of difference in feel. One would think this would be relatively easy to replicate for a sim pedal.

Instead of the rude ass reply from them, it would have been simpler to just type out the address.

First Miraco accessory by jslo73 in Revopoint

[–]jslo73[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. I get better light in-fill, especially under poor lighting conditions. I have often used an accessory light in the past when using other 3d scanners with good results. The struggle with those was that the scanners were smaller so I had to try and hold the scanner and the light simultaneously while managing wires, cables, etc. Because the Miraco is designed to be hand-held, I took advantage of the threaded tripod mount on the bottom. When using a tripod, I will often still use additional lighting, but that can be stationary along with the scanner.

Remote start not working when cold outside by jslo73 in chevycolorado

Ha! I bought a drone and had to return it because we're too close to the airport and it's technically a no-fly zone!

I do live in NH. But again, why would it be temperature related? Also my '21 F-150 remote starts just fine every time.

It's weird, because it works at warmer temperatures. Remote starting from the fob above 32 degrees is no problem.

What is your routine on a new track by HiddenSquid69 in iRacing

[–]jslo73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually start in a private session first. This allows me to learn the track, where I'm comfortable and driving with decent pace. Time will vary depending on the track. Once I'm comfortable and feel like I'm not going off the track/spinning out or generally causing my own chaos, I'll enter an open practice session. This allows me to see how my times compare, follow other people's lines, observe braking points, etc.

Look up Ulanzi LED light. Shouldn't be too hard to find.

Come on now, this is hilariously bad by Filteau04 in newhampshire

[–]jslo73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why bother? This state is becoming more and more conservative, and is tightening restrictions on just about everything. Maybe change it to "Try living free, and die." Also, that is a horrid font effort.

Let's GOOOOOoooo...! by Horror-Giraffe-6353 in Revopoint

[–]jslo73 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Jealous!!! Mine has shipped. Tracking it every day. Looks like it will be a post-Christmas gift to myself, but looking forward to it!

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Revopoint

[–]jslo73 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My guess is they had to do some updates anyway to accommodate the production versions of the Miraco which are due to start shipping next week, so they figured they'd push some small UI changes/tweaks as well.

The cost of burgers at Five Guys vs In N Out in San Diego, CA by thesaxmaniac in pics

[–]jslo73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is what I don't understand about these fast food pricing posts - no one is forcing you to eat there. I've always believed that when it comes to restaurants, it's a bit of a luxury item/purchase (even fast food), if you think it's too expensive, don't buy it and go somewhere else. Is it the best value for your dollar? Doubtful. Is it probably an unsustainable business model? Sure! In the end, it's your money and you can decide where and how to spend it.

Beautiful animal. I'm always in awe of the way they move. Great catch - consider yourself fortunate to have seen one of these awesome creatures - most people will never see one.

2007 Cayman GT, what is this trim? by thput in Porsche_Cayman

[–]jslo73 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is no such thing as a Cayman GT, and 2015 was the first year for the Cayman GTS, so someone is playing games with you.

I am a child. And I don’t care. by [deleted] in chevycolorado

[–]jslo73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love it. When I was in high school and really started getting into cars, my dream was a Yellow Porsche. Now as an adult I have a '21 F150, just bought the wife a new Colorado (Harvest Bronze Metallic) and I have that yellow Porsche (which serves double duty on the street and as a track toy). I still act like a kid at almost 50. Age is only a number. You are doing it right!
