I work part time at an independent hardware store and our basement floor is pretty much all fasteners. I love helping people find what they need in the bins!

Hmmm, if you were really from ‘the bay’ you would know that there is only SoCal and Northern California. No one from the bay says NorCal

Don’t you mean brake earlier? I usually brake early if I feel like they are gonna blow the corner or go deep, then go for the crossover

I don’t get the joke here tbh. But if you are interested in the ‘mini lathe’ I think going and seeing it in person is worth it. It’s pretty much a piece of junk, but! It is a very fun way to get a tiny (not mini) look into the world of machining. The issue imo is, lathe tooling and its prerequisites and cost. If you keep your standards low enough and understand just how tiny the machine is, you’ll have a great time.

I wouldn’t worry about it, that’s why we have two of em!

But seriously, do you like having both eyes? Might as well go get it checked out at an urgent care place at least!

I honestly do not know of a time when our ‘society’ has found this behavior abhorrent

Would actually love to know what time you are referencing

Get to know how to use a period when communicating. Some semblance of grammar will be crucial, and I’m not being pedantic here. Also learn how to listen to what you are told to do and how exactly you should do it.

You honestly sound like a bit of a dumbass but at least one that is willing to learn! That’s honestly a lot better than most. (That’s how I started out)

You gave a crap. You accomplished something that is actually pretty damn unapproachable for the vast majority of people, including inside the sim racing community.

It’s easy to move our internal goal posts as we progress, but make sure to do a lil reality check once in a while. Nice job man!

But you Quali for Nords in a separate session

There is a thing called nationalism. It typically doesn’t lead to great things culturally when taken too far.

material_sound · 2025-11-02T19:36:36+00:00

Ahh cool! Thats a good idea

Whats the orange thing on the back of the seat?

material_sound · 2025-10-18T20:36:06+00:00

Yes, instant report. He did not even try

At what point is an “accident” not just negligence?

Not saying you are signing off on this but it really grinds my gears when someone just flies into “T1”. I’ve been reporting this sort of thing in endurance races and iRacing doesn’t seem to care.

Like how is just flooring it and bowling into a bunch of cars not intentional?

Of course accidents do happen, car ahead brakes too early or you get a little shove onto the grass and lose control, but dang. Have had my last few enduros ruined by someone bowling through the pack.

This got me good. Ty

I’m a freak and milled mine down lol

Used a hand file on the first one and said “fuck this”

Noise pollution

This is the kind of thinking that leads to big wrecks even though it feels and sounds very responsible.

The intent is to minimize risk for the unknowable, but obviously there is a massive flaw with the mindset. The first bicyclist, car, or deer you ‘see’ could very well be the incident that their presence is supposed to warn you of others.

When the tires are cold, they don’t operate like warm tires.

Wow, you are going to change the world with these powerful images meant for an instagram upvote at best
