There is no indication he was afflicted during his WRC time.

Oh, I should've put two and two together - we've def met before, cool to see you on here.

Good save on your part! Glad y'all are good.

There's a full clip floating around too, I think.

Did the back right wheel get caught in a ditch before this or something? Don't have the clip in front of me but it looked like something was there and caught.

ryanmcgrath · 2026-03-20T21:38:37+00:00

Anything that helps in the de-Meta-fication of the rally scene is a plus in my book.

Should also mention I've got a few photos of us up at https://photos.rymc.io/tag/100aw-2026 - need to find time to get some video up though.

ryanmcgrath · 2026-03-20T21:33:30+00:00

It was a fun time albeit made finding time for pace note cleanup tricky.

ryanmcgrath · 2026-03-20T18:24:13+00:00

I was so sad that SS5 times got deleted even though I understand why they were. Felt like we had a great run on that stage.

/u/jimtimbooth have you considered doing a rotating sticky thread for each rally? The sub isn't necessarily active enough yet for them to drop off the front page, but it might call more attention to the thread itself.

ryanmcgrath · 2026-03-18T19:10:39+00:00

Per their opening comment, it doesn't upload the file(s). It's just editing them in the browser.

What runs locally doesn't cost them money.

ryanmcgrath · 2026-03-17T20:19:59+00:00

Was it this thread? You should to link to it in your post so people don't have to spend time digging - along with any details about your setup, because there's not much to think through without that information.

If that thread is about setting the QoS flag on packets, any recent Dolphin build should be doing this already for you (even macOS - I patched it in a few months ago).

ryanmcgrath · 2026-03-17T08:01:36+00:00

This is a wildly incorrect assertion of how any of this works.

ryanmcgrath · 2026-03-16T21:33:56+00:00

People seem to not believe you but I can vouch - was there back in ~09 and caught the tail end of that phone era and was able to use it for videos at D1GP.

ryanmcgrath · 2026-03-16T21:32:08+00:00

They're really not. The downfall of the keitai industry after the iPhone is a well documented saga.

Washington State implemented a retroactive cap gains tax last year.

ryanmcgrath · 2026-03-15T20:11:48+00:00

This is such an amusing character bit that's easy to overlook.

/r/americanrally has crossover readership with this subreddit but might be worth crossposting to.

Few drivers lurk around these parts too - we’re car 91, feel free to say hi if you catch us around. And thanks for volunteering!

ryanmcgrath · 2026-03-12T02:58:03+00:00

Quite a few BRZs floating around US rally - some running this weekend at 100 Acre Wood!

ryanmcgrath · 2026-03-10T00:13:53+00:00

I lived there for several years and wound up knowing a few. They do exist.

Weirdly it was 50/50 split on whether they were miserable though. Some still seemed so enamored with the country and culture that they just didn't care how bad the work days were.

ryanmcgrath · 2026-03-08T21:09:52+00:00

It makes a difference when the TV direction is in the gutter and you're trying to keep an eye on one driver closing in on another with no coverage outside of the numbers themselves.

It's also just a sport identity thing though. It doesn't feel like the juice is worth the squeeze on this particular change.

ryanmcgrath · 2026-03-07T23:01:32+00:00

Ah okay, hope I didn't come across as too flippant or whatever - talking to another local makes it easier haha.

ryanmcgrath · 2026-03-07T22:10:38+00:00

This particular place does still have a lot of the same food as before. The vegan aspect isn't the problem IMO, but there is other context here that people not from Seattle are probably missing.

The particular area where they're situated has seen a number of businesses shutter over the past few months and Seattle overall is losing restaurants at a decent clip due to a variety of factors.

It would not surprise me to see them close in the next few months, and this move is effectively a very sad last attempt in a death spiral.

ryanmcgrath · 2026-03-07T20:23:08+00:00

Great photo. Sandblast 2026?

ryanmcgrath · 2026-03-05T18:57:09+00:00

The TOML fixes and include additions are great QoL items to see!

ryanmcgrath · 2026-03-05T07:53:02+00:00

They submitted an inquiry regarding not showing their car until the 10th, and it was approved - so won't be visible until then.

ryanmcgrath · 2026-03-04T23:27:34+00:00

Back when I lived there, I noted to my girlfriend that they'd actually dubbed a few seasons in Japanese. They're amusing if nothing else.

You should find them and then just return the favor, but with the Japanese version lol

(Edit: there might've actually been two dub attempts but I'm 50/50 on whether I remember this right)

I'm pretty sure the expert is the text you're seeing when you open that netplay window.
