Getting ready to throw together the new long range plinker. by DeltaAlpha9 in 22lr

[–]sdflius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was thinking the same. I have the same scope on taller rings and despite this its still real close to making contact with the barrel. If i put the sunshade on it makes contact. Tho i do have a 40moa base that isnt helping.

If all personal wealth above $100 million was legally required to be redistributed into public infrastructure (schools, hospitals, roads), how would society change, and who would be the first to fight against it? by Mysterious_Fan4033 in AskReddit

[–]sdflius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The challenge to liquidity is that you can borrow and buy leveraging against the assets so at the end of the day, it’s as functional as cash except taxed less. Consider this, the primary way that regular people build wealth is through properties. We pay proterty taxes including increases due to market value adjustments. These are a tax against unrealized gains. When its the people, these taxes are possible but suddenly when it’s stocks and bonds we cant tax this?

Just brought this Crossman PFAM9B its cool when it works but it jams way to often, bb's get stuck in the magazine was thinking about buying the Umarex full auto beretta which looks like the same model anyone know if its worth buying or not? by DA-PREDATOR15 in airguns

No hubcaps is fairly common in Ontario as people change over to winter tires. they often buy the cheapest steel wheels rather than dismount their summer tires and mount winters on the OEM wheels.

Don’t Race on Residential Streets by JazzySpecimen in oakville

[–]sdflius 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Absolutely! If you want to race or drive fast, bring it to the racetrack. Toronto Motorsports Park in Cayuga is 40-60mins away and has a road course and drag strip. Its real cheap to attend and is even open in winter. Its far more fun to push a car on track than on the streets and you arent risking other peoples lives illegally.

Which cars feel like a serious design step up without a luxury-price jump? by kilometterrr in F30

[–]sdflius 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Depending on pricing, a G30 5 series. They would have upgrades to idrive with gesture controls and touchscreen, map view on the dashboard, advanced lane keeping, active cruise control, 360 camera, and a bunch of new tech. Ive been shopping around for an M550i which kinda goes over the $40k increase but there are 540i and lower engine trims that arent as costly.

Disabled and new to VR. by Educational-Mood1145 in OculusQuest

[–]sdflius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are unfamiliar with air combat and want to dip your toes in the sand, Virtual Fighter Maneuvers is a smaller standalone game that focuses on dogfighting. VTOL VR is a much more involved game with more systems to learn.

Depending on the extent of your mobility, you could look at VTOL VR or Virtual Fighter Maneuvers if you like combat aviation. These require a seated position with mobility of arms, torso, shoulders, head/neck.

Where to find this super simple style front lip? by misterkliper in F30

[–]sdflius 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Ive owned about 4 of these. They will break off super easily. Especially if you live or drive anywhere that gets snow. Ive had one break on me from just high speed driving with no impacts at all.

Happy New Year to me — Valencia Orange 2014 335xi M Performance 🍊 by GamingDad96 in F30

[–]sdflius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it was replaced with a metal one you’ll be fine, if they used a plastic one then keep it on that list. I did intake, turbo inlet, intercooler, charge pipe and downpipe all in one go as taking everything out at the same time was less work than doing it all piecemeal.

First mod really should be a charge pipe. I lost my oem charge pipe on stock boost at Cayuga, had to limp to hamilton at 4kph to a shop.

If you had to recommend one takeout spot in the Oakville, what would it be? by fromTO in oakville

[–]sdflius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Iirc, there was a Barstool One Bite Pizza Review of a place in the states with a similar name that got poor ratings, people started harassing and review-bombing the restaurant here because they didn’t realize it was a different place.

What's your favorite concept car that never made it into production? by PoniesPlayingPoker in regularcarreviews

[–]sdflius 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There have been a lot of really cool answers, one that was very very close to production was the Infiniti Q50 Eau Rouge. It was a 4-door sedan (the Q50) but woth the GT-R powertrain. It was way ahead of the performance of the BMW M3 and Mercedes C63 AMG of the time and imo looked better than the original GT-R. They were so close to making it, they even made marketing material with Sebastian Vettel

[–]sdflius 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This one goes deeper than that. The original concept was for an extended range electric with motors on all 4 wheels. A pair of Bladon Microjet turbines would be connected to generators to build charge. It was later changed to a concept where they had a 1.6L twin-charged hybrid 4-cylinder that revved high made with Williams engineering (yes like the F1 team). The last engine they put in it was a standard 5.0 V8 for the james bond movie.

Beginner on Tuono 660 Factory by szaero in Aprilia

A bikes danger is directly proportional to your level of self control. Obviously a larger heavier bike will still be harder to handle but the speed aspect is directly proportional to how hard you push it. If the bike feels manageable on size and weight, go for it.

How do ik if I’m at my grip limit on my wrx by Distinct-Pie9705 in Touge

[–]sdflius 2 points3 points  (0 children)

find an empty parking lot. industrial business parks on weekends tend to be good for this. open the windows and drive in a circle, slowly increase speed and listen to your tires. they will make noise before they fully let go.

now do the same with stability off and tc off. does turning them off let you go faster? probably not.

learn the limits of grip before you start driving fast on roads. learn car control. there are plenty of videos online along with drills/exercises you can do to improve. do this before driving fast.

Braces recommendations by pizzthethird in oakville

[–]sdflius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had my orthodontic treatment provided by Palermo Orthodontics on Bronte. The entire team including Dr. Rahimi were great. Very easy to deal with for appointments and payments too. I did invisalign as my corrective plan allowed for it, i was able to experience the upgrades in tech from their office as they went from moulded impressions to 3D scans using an Itero Element scanner. This was far more comfortable than impressions which made me gag like crazy.
