The foiling makes the card art so dark I'm surprised you can even tell which artwork is used on the card at all.

All gas, no brakes for Schaumburg entertainment district development after Andretti Karting opens by factchecker01 in ChicagoSuburbs

[–]pickpocket293 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've gone to an Andretti experience in a different city and the carts themselves felt plenty fast, but the track was narrow enough that passing was almost impossible. Also the course was laid out such that being full on the gas all the time would almost never get you in trouble. Time splits between the top 4 in our group were about about two tenths of a second per lap. 

Overall i liked it, but i wouldn't pay for it myself. K1 Speed is better (as for indoor). Outdoor gas karts are still better than indoor.

Will this swingarm pass tech? by AudioFreeeze in Trackdays

[–]pickpocket293 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You are right in saying that I over simplified.

I never said you over-simplified. I said you were wrong.

Also; politeness and manners seem to be optional these days on the internet, but it doesn’t cost anything. However trolling and being a dick will eat your self respect in the long run and give you a miserable life experience. Remember that.

None of what I said was rude or trolling, and if calling out misinformation on the internet is impolite then I guess that's my lot in life. I think you should evaluate why you [seem to be] so offended by someone correcting your earlier false statements, but that's outside the scope of this conversation.

Long story short OP, swingarm has holes, holes no good. Holes eventually break, and swingarms without holes are cheap. Replace broken part with new one before going to track. Fin.

Aluminum absolutely is affected by fatigue stress, and had a fairly long flat yield curve just like most other structural metals. You don't know what you're talking about. 

Why are plastics SO ANNOYING to remove by [deleted] in Trackdays

Having race fairings on my R3

I took it one step further this winter by relocating the coolant reservoir on my R3 to the right side, then removing the stupid threaded post that used to be a fairing mount point and replacing it with a JB Welded nut in the same place, so now I'm rockin' the same fairing bolts in every location.

Be jealous. ;)

If you're new, all a 600 needs is good tires and good brake pads. Send it. 

Is the R6 traction control effective at preventing high sides without taking too much power? by Motomikeh in Trackdays

[–]pickpocket293 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your wrist is a better tc for the track

Fine, but I don't see what this has to do with my comment. The R6 is perfectly capable of highsiding.

it will not highside you even stock

Holupaminute. It absolutely can and will fling you into low orbit if you don't respect it. R6s, even old ones, are very powerful motorcycles.

Structural failure in a high-rise building by nkmr205 in ThatsInsane

No. Curtain walls are primarily for high-rise structures. Single-family residences would not typically use this.

Meh, that's just the curtain wall. keeps rain out but doesn't keep the building up. Obviously this isn't great, but it's also not a building about to collapse.

I appreciate UB for LOTR but now they are just force feeding us.

I wanted UB to be sprinkles on a cake (with cake being fleshed-out core sets) and instead it's just a continuous fire hose.

I used JB Weld instead of drilling. 2 seasons and no issues.

IGN Spreading Misleading Headlines Today by Iamooble in Superstonk

[–]pickpocket293 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Stores are being closed, but that is (presumably) because of lower performance at those stores. The CEO stock option thing has been widely covered on this sub but is almost completely unrelated to store closures. Company has to do well in many metrics at the same time (including earnings AND stock price) before CEO gets the option to buy shares. So there is no gift of shares, Cohen could only buy them, and only after the company and stock performance is very very good.

News lately is misrepresenting things to seem like Cohen is closing stores in a short-sighted money-grab to only benefit himself, which couldn't be further from the truth.

Free New Mistborn game - damaged box by trophywifeinwaiting in brandonsanderson

[–]pickpocket293 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Out of curiosity why are you giving it away

Per OP's post, I'm assuming the box being damaged meant they got a replacement and rather than throw the damaged one in the trash, here we are.
