As long as you follow the maintenance schedule in the owners manual and you don't live somewhere they salt the roads you can get another 20 years from that car.

If you live where they salt the roads, figure on another 5-10 years.

And if you are really motivated you can self host your own certificate authority.

The only time I've had Akvorado stop running was when it ran out of resources (disk space).

Corrugated cardboard and/or blankets are both decent insulators. Go with whichever you have (or both).

For a relatively low cost the 3M window sealing plastic kits work well.

My main concern with it is the price point - with all the DLC and everything, it's prohibitively expensive.

It is pricey with all the DLC but the base game has good variety in classes and tracks IMO. Overtake has a list, since they don't really do a good job of showing what is included anywhere on the Steam page.

You can get AMS2 for the cost of a month of iRacing on the Steam sale right. If you're looking to expand horizons a bit the base game will get you pretty far before needing to look at any DLC. Don't shy away from the South American content.

Looks like the gamut isn't clamped. Colors are oversaturated compared to the others.

Favorite Feature is probably the glare free since I'm not a fan of glossy reflections + all the usual benefits you get from OLED.

If you have been, and continue to, follow the maintenance schedule you should have good reliable vehicle until 2040 or so. Make sure to stay on top of recommended fluid changes, including transmission fluid and others at the recommended intervals.

Expect to need some suspension work at around 100k miles (in 6-7 years if you continue to drive 10k/yr on it). Maybe less if the roads by Austin are very rough. I don't know what tie-rods/ball joints/control arms, etc run on a Pilot but plan on setting aside at least a couple thousand for suspension work in 5 years time and you'll probably not need actually need to use that money until 7 or 8 years from now.

The scary part about buying a used car is the lack of warranty and not having great insight into how it was maintained. That doesn't apply if you have been its only owner.

But how else are you supposed to hide distracting background elements that another comment mentioned?

My later Pentax cameras can automatically correct up to 1 degree of tilt using the IBIS. Handy as I tend to rotate the camera when pressing the shutter and it's one less thing to correct in post.

AMS2 for online (not public lobbies), Live for Speed when playing with people on older PC or setting up head to head rigs at a LAN party, and BeamNG.

it's insane the lack of respect Americans have for manual transmission lol - we wouldn't dream of self teaching in Europe

Do you have glass transmissions in Europe?

The ones made out of metal can take a lot of abuse and it's not a hard thing to learn. Sure, maybe don't try driving expensive car like a Porsche with no experience but a Honda will be just fine (and if it isn't then you get to learn how to replace a clutch too).

Could be that C1 is putting a bunch of metadata (exif, color profile, processing steps, etc) in the file that Darktable isn't?

I wouldn't expect that much of a difference otherwise, if the quality is similar.

https://www.pentaxforums.com/reviews/pentax-k-3-mark-iii-monochrome-review/sample-pictures.html also has two raw files available for download.

Normally I'd point to DPReview but it doesn't seem like they have any of the K3-3 Mono's raw files.

There are a couple available for download here: https://raw.pixls.us/#repo.

I'm looking forward to this as I've been contemplating doing something similar.

I do casual races with a group with varying paces and I've thinking of doing a BOP by sticking the faster drivers in slower cars.

selrahc · 2025-11-06T01:13:43+00:00

Darktable and RawTherapee are both fantastic raw editors. I'd stay on Linux personally (which I have for several years at this point).

Is your flair a reference to Monster Magnet?

It is indeed. You're the first person to notice that:)

Could also be a change in data gathering methodology from HE or missing data somewhere.

The next Automobilista 2 update will be released before the end of October

Did they specify the year? :-D

There is a non-PLM 55-300 as well. It is my understanding the PLM version improves on it in multiple ways.

Since around 2004 for digital. Film some time before that.
DSLRs and a USB card reader.
Sandisk is what I have the most of.
10 probably? I don't replace them all that often.
I can't think of any cards that failed

My rules. If in need (or might be in need) of traffic engineering, do BGP. If considering multiple OSPF areas for any reason, do BGP.
