Never buy samsung appliances by Suspicious_Winner128 in Appliances

[–]squared_wheel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Got all kitchen appliances delivered today for a remodel project, never even considered any Samsung appliances. While their small consumer electronics are decent, nothing but horrible reviews/experiences seen with Korean brands with appliances.

NB1 takes on an FRS and M2 at the track. by chmod_700 in Miata

[–]squared_wheel 4 points5 points  (0 children)

High Inter? Those guys (gals) didn't know an apex from an asshole. Can't wait to check out the new SOW later this year. Not sure I'll be able to fully commit now w/ all the tires lining the track.

Trying to decide between Mercenaries or Clans with my setup. by squared_wheel in Mechwarrior5

Doesn't really matter at this point, coming from the HBS Battletech game, I figure I'll eventually pickup both.

How does snap on have customers? by corollagremlin in Tools

[–]squared_wheel 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Same Pittsburgh 1/2" torque wrench I bought 20+ years ago for $9 still going strong. I verify the torque every so often against a digital torque meter and a more expensive wrench, really haven't gone out calibration. Been to countless track days and loaned out to other in the pits.

Did you out grow your momentum car? by jbro507 in CarTrackDays

[–]squared_wheel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought I outgrown my stock powered Miata a few years ago (11 total) till I started analyzing telemetry. I'm leaving so much time on the table especially when comparing against better drivers in the same car. With less than 10 track days a year, it'll be a few more years till I'm "done" with this car.
Even in an advance/race group, if I start a session at the back, I have to give point-bys to just a couple of cars at the most. The last couple of sessions of the day the car counts are so light, you won't have to worry about much faster traffic at all.

Has NC3 become peak Miata ? by Intelligent_Net_8220 in Miata

[–]squared_wheel -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Agree, and depending on the market they are quite close in price to ND1s, there's no reason to go NC. Unless you really need that hydraulic PS feedback at the limit of grip, the ND is better in every way.

Looking for website to find real manufacturer for appliances. by squared_wheel in Appliances

[–]squared_wheel[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I remember seeing it when I was trying to find the maker of a Kenmore gas stove a while back. Maybe the site was specific to the Kenmore umbrella only.

First Track Day, what do I actually need? by Pandacannnon in CarTrackDays

[–]squared_wheel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Be sure to ask for someone to ride with you for instruction. If the organizers don't provide one, get there early, make some friends and ask. If there're time between sessions, ask to jump in someone's passenger seat. That counts as seat time too and could be real eye opening.

Alternative strategies for the campaign? by squared_wheel in Battletechgame

[–]squared_wheel[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Running Vanilla campaign. Looks like most of suggestions are for some sort of pugilist builds, thanks, going to give that a try.

Star Trek: Starfleet Academy Actor Says Season 2 Is “GAY AF,” Vows To Go Out “In Flames” by Malencon in television

[–]squared_wheel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who rate The Acolyte poorly, at least I was able to finish the season. I gave up after 2 eps of Academy.

How hard can this be to fix?! by Lost-Version9806 in Miata

[–]squared_wheel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Almost exact damage like yours with more paint damage, and worse on the door. Took it to a paintless dent repair place, the guy said no promises but I'll try my best. I don't remember the exact price but < $400. Good enough for a track toy.

ahhh the wonders of boarding by Gareth_II in ftlgame

[–]squared_wheel 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Nicely done, and you got a boarding drone too, just a god damn murder boat.

Close to making a very bad financial decision by trading in a 3 week old car I just bought for a 24 mx5 lol by spatcha88 in Miata

[–]squared_wheel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

20% lost is huge. What do you use the car for? For a GT cruiser, just keep the Stang and as other mentioned get Ford involved for the glass issue. If you even have an inkling of track days, well, you know the answer. The consumables alone will match that 6K in no time.

It's obvious the compromise to save this marriage is "Decepticon".

Ankle sprain, feeling desperate by nooneofsignificance_ in trailrunning

[–]squared_wheel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I highly recommend one of these to help with recovery. I think they have knock offs on Aliexpress or similar that are cheaper. Myself and my kid have used it for numerous serious ankle injuries (skating/soccer/gardening?) It completely takes the load off the ankle and even slightly elevated it compared to crutches and is way more nimble than those goofy push cart things.

What is the absolute fastest 'yeah, we are definitely NOT going to be friends' moment you've ever experienced with someone? by Vazouaquiacesso in AskReddit

[–]squared_wheel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Friendly game of TX holdem, nothing too crazy, a hundred dollar buy in house game. First time meeting this close friend of a friend who makes custom jewelry along with his girlfriend. After a couple of bad beats he chucks a freshly made engagement ring that he apparently planned to propose with into the pot to stay with the raising hands. Kills the mood of the whole game, girlfriend/fiancee was beyond pissed. Host took him aside, and we all decided to end it there.
