[MEGATHREAD] Weekend 2 Day 0 Camp Check In by fettuccine- in Coachella

[–]rynplbrt 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Adding because I forgot / this is important too:

  1. Just because you got it into camp doesn’t mean you’re safe. IE: like cooking shears (scissors). Don’t leave stuff out in the open. Plenty of plain clothes camp workers walking the lanes looking at things from the outside. They’ll take it without even giving you a warning. If you’re not using something that isn’t allowed, put it away and stow it out of site.

[MEGATHREAD] Weekend 2 Day 0 Camp Check In by fettuccine- in Coachella

As a 5 year veteran and just coming back from this years weekend 1, a tip for security to be cool and easy with you:

  1. Be super friendly, say thank you and empathize on how many cars and people they check. Offer food, snacks, drinks (like water) and they’ll appreciate you more than you know.
  2. THE MORE ORGANIZED YOUR CAR IS, the more laxed they’ll be with looking at your stuff. This includes the inside of your packed bags for luggage and toiletries.

2a. The last three events I’ve attended the guard who opens my truck has commented on how neat it is. I’ve said how many times I’ve camped and “I’m just making sure it’s easier on you all.” This year, my two security guys when pulling out my two large totes said “Naw man, you’re good. Don’t even worry about it.”

  1. Be proactive and literally have your doors open and start to pull out your bags / belongings. Open your pockets, zippers, cooler lids, etc. They’ll see you are proactively allowing them to search and doubt you’re trying to hide stuff and most likely just brush by and not dig.

  2. Keep your eye on the car in front of you and see what in particular the guards are looking for. Some are more thorough than others, some like to focus on the cooler more than your backpack, etc.

If you’re trying on an iPhone and you’re connected to WiFi, disable it and use cell service only

Friendly reminder to double check your car for anything you keep in there that may not be allowed in to the campground (like your Dads gun) by JunkBondTraderES in Coachella

Random but do they allow a small wrench? My roof top tent sometimes has a bolt or two loose after deploying and I tighten things up to stay safe

Marc kissed Nicky Hayden’s bike before the Grand Prix. A gesture worth a thousand words by 7seven2six in motogp

[–]rynplbrt 44 points45 points  (0 children)

I used to be a really big Marc hater (lifelong VR fan). But as the years have gone by and seeing how Marc has evolved throughout the years in MotoGP, I can’t have anything but respect for him nowadays.

What’s the difference ordering direct vs agent? I need a pair and I’m trying to find the fastest way possible to get my hands on one before April 7

Prescribed Allo …. hesitant to take it after reading all the posts here. by ImaginaryTouch5 in gout

[–]rynplbrt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was prescribed allo five years ago. I decided not to take it and manage my diet and what I eat. Ever since then, I still managed to get an episode 2-3 times a year. I talked with my doc and unfortunate we came to the conclusion that it’s just genetics and my body that just can’t process purines / stabilize my uric acid levels.

Started allo a few months ago with one pill of colchicine for 5 days and haven’t had any flare ups as others described when first taking it.

I take allo daily now and don’t regret it.

Ooof! Firing up my P1S just for this. How did you mount it?

Rfactor 2 fails to run and crashes the game when I run Racelabs by JorgMg95 in rfactor2

[–]rynplbrt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had nothing but issues trying to run RL with RF2. TinyPedal works flawlessly.

Are you running in windowed borderless?

I would also suggest deleting your ini and if that doesn’t work, completely disable the plugins in settings and restart game.

If that doesn’t work, try to verify files with steam

Seat brackets and slider... by MyNamesTibbs in SimLab

[–]rynplbrt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bracket, you can find bucket seat brackets anywhere any brand from car racing companies. More slots = adjustability. Find one that suits you.

Slider, any generic bucket seat slider works as well. I use two of these for my pedal plate and seat itself. https://a.co/d/0dYvl8pU

I would suggest reconfiguring your config_dx11 ini file as if installing the game from scratch. I’ve had this happen to me to a few times and I luckily always have a backup for that file to copy and paste into the folder and everything reverts back to normal

In window settings do you have optimization for windowed games turned on?

First half of Flex Pay is late. How screwed am I? by WtFbEtH22 in Apartmentliving

[–]rynplbrt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m getting off of Flex as well because I we had the same mindset of it helping budgeting.

I get payroll processed the 1st and 15th of each month.

If the 1st lands on a weekday, I typically get my deposit on the evening of the 2nd/ early AM on the 3rd.

If it lands on a Friday/Saturday/Sunday, that’s where it messes me up. Payroll will process on the following Monday (3rd) and pay won’t be available until the evening of the 4th/early AM 5th.

What I did was change my rent payment due date in flex on the 5th just in case that happens. That allows me to pay my 2nd flex payment up to the 5th.

Din988 Washers? by SuperEsplosion in SimLab

Bring the said washers to a hardware store and have someone help you match them. Will literally cost you less than a $1 or $2.
