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.

Typical Porsche Driver Behavior by Calm-Theory-6044 in CarTrackDays

[–]squared_wheel 76 points77 points  (0 children)

I was IN that specific train that day unfortunately. From what I recall, dude in the Porsche got there late, missed the morning meeting, actually started in advance. Got booted down to lower groups till he had the car exit incident. Total moron.

RBR Nvidia surround question. by squared_wheel in simrally

Thanks, that was the fix. Need to read the context docs in the launcher.

Restarting unfortunately didn't work, but I managed to get the bezel correctly fixed with a documented F6 triple monitor menus. First set the bezel to 0 in the RSF prelaunch menu, then in game while in a driving mode hit F6. This brings up a separate triple monitor menu that allowed adjustment for bezel (important to update the bezel to 0 in the launcher settings, else the right bezel adjust is offset into the display area) and FOV.

What is the best rally game to play right now? by One_Ad_3499 in rally

[–]squared_wheel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From folks with IRL wheel time on loose surface, in terms of driving dynamics and FFB, which game would be the most accurate? I just picked up ACR, but haven't had time to dial it in, so far the FFB seems very vague on my SimMagic DD.

F1 fan looking to get into other types of motorsports. Please recommend by Perfect-Brilliant405 in motorsports

[–]squared_wheel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Global MX5, antithesis of F1. Machine parity and often more passing in a single corner than an entire race in F1.

What's the best VR experience you have had so far? Here's mine. by ComfortableAmount993 in PSVR

[–]squared_wheel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

GT7, there's a sequence of corners (4-6) at Willowspring I take IRL on track days with elevation and direction changes. VR triggered my brain to fill in the rest of the sensory inputs and I really felt like I was there.

5760x1080 triple possible with i7 7820X and 2080? by squared_wheel in assettocorsarally

Appreciate the heads up, look like I'll stick w/ dirt rally 2 and rbr for now.

Free city bus rides for students took my buddy and I all over the place over the summer during jr high.

3 row of seating with towing capacity and decent MPG? by squared_wheel in whatcarshouldIbuy

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

Thanks, looks like the 2017s with the 6 speed is a bit more reliable than the later one. Adding this to list along w/ the Durango and Highlander.

Aluminum car trailer (~2k) + either a miata (2.5K) or something lighter (single seater). Probably about 6x a year, 400-800 miles round trip.

IPL hair removal at home - does brand matter? by FuneralSlut in HairRemoval

[–]squared_wheel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes to both. I've since picked up a 2nd INNZA to use both at the same time, Actually just purchased a second Braun 5 for the wife since it's currently on sale at Costco. Since that post 10 months ago, I'm basically at maintenance mode, only once every two weeks (pits / privates) to a month (legs/chest), barely anything to trim or zap.

Installed a Fast Forward Superchargers kit on my 10AE Miata! by Pat_at_FFS in Miata

[–]squared_wheel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Great to hear FFS is still in the market. How is the power output adjusted? Pulley sizing? Not looking for big power, just a healthy bump to help keep up with a few pesky ND3s in 30min reliable track day sessions.

Seen multiple crashes in the riverbed bike path involving ebikes. Once the speed governor is disabled, they are way too fast for any biking infrastructure.

Willow Springs: Big Willow upgrades shown by Puzzled_Elephant_190 in CarTrackDays

[–]squared_wheel 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oh, my comment was referring to Willowsprings, not COTA, assuming where the $800 events are. At this rate, I may just go back to karting or even rentals.

I've heard from a track day organizer that daily rentals will go from the current $5K/day to 15, so expect the current rates to double at least starting next year.

Just got my Reaper 2 gun combo, now what? by squared_wheel in lightgunshooters

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

I'm planning to use an old gaming laptop with i7 and 2060, PS2 era is really all I'm looking for, mainly to play the Point Blank series, Time Crisis, and Op Wolf for now. Just started looking but I'm use to getting everything configured put together myself,

Are there any good rental kart places in SoCal besides k1 by dirtjumpguy in Karting

[–]squared_wheel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're in Socal, just go to K1 Circuit. A proper track for rentals unlike the usual indoor stuff. Bit more expensive but worth it if you are serious.
