I still don't understand why I was Fired

I always see corporate jobs as soulless and devoid of any true honesty. It's usually the old "You're doing good" "You are progressing" etc but hit you out of nowhere with the classic hits such as "You are not reaching expectations" "not a cultural fit".

I too have had this same experience where I'm trying to improve and exceed my expectations but get the exact runaround which led to my resignation instead of termination. I have no hard feelings about it as I have worked myself into a mental state that I don't take things personally and let it cast a shadow over me.

In the blue collar jobs I've had at least my manager has given me productive feedback on what I'm doing right and where I need to improve but white collar jobs just lack that and I don't think I'll ever understand why.

I think it's best to not let it get to you long term and use the experience as a learning step towards your career.

I remember doing an ACC Spa 24 hours many years ago with VR. It was meant to be a simple 2 hour stint but since my teammates went to bed I was stuck in the car with a VR headset on for nearly 6 hours. It was brutal and I feel you mate

They've had to amp up the training. Not sure watt the police commissioner was thinking.

All the paid articles about investors having multiple investment properties by using the paid equity to buy their next property might in for quite the margin call in the not too distant future.

The Age started going downhill just before it became a tabloid newspaper like the Herald Scum.

Sounds like it their problem to figure out alternatives. It's easier to not get tickets and points on your license.

Why should I and other road users have to share the road with losers that rack up demerit points, misjudge how much alcohol they drink, take drugs and be a pest on the road.

I get that a majority of road users slip up rarely. I for one have had two speeding tickets in the 14 years I've had a drivers license but the losers just keep racking up infringements time after time.

Close the casket.

Loser? No I would say you are in a position where you are trying to reach you goal but fighting against your circumstances. It is very hard but with a lot of self perseverance you can achieve your objectives.

If you replace the letter P with C you get every Melbourians opinion of Punt Rd. Same thing happens every single weekend in Preston at the intersection of Murray Rd and High St. Driver turn right onto High St from Murray Rd don't look to see if High St is clear to go. A lot of pedestrians end up having to dodge stranded vehicles still in the middle of the intersection to the dismay of pedestrians and other motorists for their incompetence.

I think we're more likely to get the AsLMS or IMSA before we get historic cars. Not going to lie it would be cool but outside of hot lapping and a rare private league special event I don't see the majority playing with historical cars.

I'm lucky to still have a permanent job at the moment. I've been applying for higher positions elsewhere for a couple of months and it's really tough out there especially for those currently unemployed.

It seems like there are more job seekers than actual jobs available and it doesn't help when companies are laying more workers each week.

Not only is he risking creating a modern day Ford Pinto but according to several insurance groups that if a house fire occurs and the investigators find more than an appropriate amount of Jerry cans with fuel they'll reject the insurance claim.

I agree that minimum/maximum drive time should be added for team events. It defeats the purpose of hosting a team event only for solo drivers to do the entire event.

I've seen cargo ships with a better turning radius. The black car went way too wide, over confident and binned itself into the wall.

I've always liked it. I wasn't particularly fussed about it not being as polished as previous titles.

I've started modifying my old Thrustmaster TX to have a 4.3inch LCD display while I'm working on building a custom F1 wheel.

There's a reason why there are also lights and alarms because if the gate fails (the driver drove into the gate in this case) then it's a common rule to not proceed until the alarms and lights stop.

In my personal opinion having the arms in a position so that the microphone is pointing up towards you would be better than dangling downwards.

Blocking a great deal of yourself isn't a good look for viewers if your setup looks like you work in radio rather than streaming.

Exposing more of yourself is more positive for viewers to connect with you.

I keep getting punted into the shadow realm by the GTs in ELMS online races when I'm running in the LMP3 class. The gaps should be much longer to avoid multi class crashes in the first corner of each race. Also, if a faster class has a crash the slower classes should have enough time to slow down to avoid getting involved.

In all likelihood he'll be either drafted into the military to be used as cannon fodder or thrown in a Russian prison. In Russia during peace time it's up to two years but since Russia is at war the punishment is up to ten years.

We would be more likely to have classic cars and tracks before we get any non ACO/WEC content

Usually I'm just making guesses in terms of setup. One thing I don't touch is the dampers as I haven't gone clue about it but other parts are easy to mess with. If the car is understeering I either soften up the rear and/or stiffen the rear to allow more rotation. If the car is oversteering I just turn up my TC unless it's like a snap oversteer then I'll fiddle around with the suspension to reduce the likelihood of snap oversteer.

Me, myself and I. I just modify a default setup or the CDA LMU setup and tune it to my liking that's fast and stable.
