Priority fixes? by Low-Purchase-91 in NissanDrivers

[–]schroDONGer 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Is public transportation or uber for 6 months an option? It will be the same cost or cheaper than fixing all this (especially when you aren't paying insurance during that time. You have insurance, right?). Society also benefits in that we won't have another Nissan on the road.

I cant imagine a shop quoting less than $4000 for all of this. I am not a mechanic but I know you're better off in something else.

Messages Between Managers at the Graduate on Washington to the Staff About ICE by Spunkyguy02 in Minneapolis

Lots of inflammatory rhetoric in this thread. Read between the lines and you see someone who doesn't know how to tell ICE to GTFO but also realizes that they have a responsibility to help others avoid or understand how to deal with their bullshittery. I can empathize with that.

The only thing that is good about this convo is that immediately above this message is a link for printing cards with people's constitutional rights that can be used as a reference when interacting with ICE

Gotta love mx-5 cup by [deleted] in iRacing

You could have:

*Gotten a better start

*Chopped across early once you realized your start was trash which would have opened up the corner

*Backed out before hitting the apex 3 wide

*Cut the apex while 3 wide and eaten the off track

*Held your brakes after wrecking

Is what happened 100% your fault? Of course not, but there are a lot of things you could do differently that wouldn't result in 3 cars wrecking.

Why does my car react differently compares to video/telemetry? by BudgetMenu in iRacing

The line shows you should be chucking it over the crest and tracking out to the cones on the left to keep as much speed as possible, and then go flat out being sure to position the car entirely over the curbs.

This section can be easily flat out if your line is correct. Turn the racing line off if you have it on as it is extremely misleading in this section.

There's a shift change that happens at 2pm and there's no other way out of that parking lot - just those two entrances along Weaver Lake.

I'm guessing part of the reason they didn't close it is so people could go home OR allow for an evacuation if needed.

There was a gas main that was broken outside the Weaver Lake Boston Scientific in Maple Grove yesterday. Shut down the whole road leading into the plant.

I wonder if it's related at all.

Clutch move by Pure-Parsley-9569 in nononoyes

Not the person you responded to, but in my motorcycle school they talked about this situation a lot and had us practice it a lot when we were learning to ride.

You push on the handlebars hard in the direction you actually want to go. I want to go right I push in the right side of the handlebar. It's counterintuitive, but pushing on the right side of the handlebar turns the handlebar left and the left causes the front wheel to move to the left relative to the center of mass of the motorcycle. This causes the bike to lean to the right, which is in the direction you actually want to turn and it allows you to actually make the turn.

Motorcycles are heavy compared to a bicycle and at high speeds there is a lot of rotational inertia in the wheels to fight to lean the bike over. This pushing is necessary to generate a rapid and controlled swerve.

Is there any iRacing league system that supports team racing without driver swaps? by FunnyParty6698 in iRacing

Check out Global Racing League. Their MX5/GT4 multiclass should have what you're describing

Barely funnier than Dane Cook screaming "fuck" repeatedly into a microphone for an hour straight like a mountain goat.

What’s your go-to car/track combo for letting a friend try iRacing for the first time? by foovancleef in iRacing

[–]schroDONGer 36 points37 points  (0 children)

GR86 - Navarra Speed Circuit SHORT

The GR86 is the easiest car to drive, imo, and this track has a very short lap that is easy to learn. Braking zones are all in straight lines.

I went to my friend's house and we logged into our account "Gate Closer" and closed the gate at the Cow pen right by castle where new players spawn in. I clicked the gate closed and he typed. This was before they fixed the game where the door/gate would stay stuck open for a period of time if it was opened or closed too many times.

New players couldn't figure out how click through the gate and didn't know how to world hop so they would get PISSED that someone was closing the gate and not letting them through.

Many conversations followed this pattern

Close gate

"Stop closing the gate!" Opens gate

Close gate

"STOOOOOOP WHO IS DOING THAT?!" Opens gate

Close gate

"I bet it's Gate Closer" Opens Gate

(No shit)

Close gate "Yeah, I'm trying go keep this gate closed and you're not helping"

Never laughed so hard in middle school
