  1. Valve CEO: 'We're comfortable with the idea that VR will turn out to be a complete failure'

    Checkout the Volairsim and Obutto cockpits. For the cost of a high end office chair and desk, you can have a purpose built unit.
  2. Valve CEO: 'We're comfortable with the idea that VR will turn out to be a complete failure'

    Store demos make this current gen of VR seem like the Wii. A fun gimmick that quickly loses its appeal once the novelty wears off. As an avid flight and racing sim gamer the Vive (I don't have the Oculus) is a game changer. Sitting in a 3D cockpit (or race car) with a 1:1 scaling makes all the...
  3. NHL Las Vegas team name

    Word in Vegas is that "The Las Vegas Black Knights" or "Las Vegas Knights" is most likely. Foley is a West Point grad.
  4. I feel bad for parents if this is close to how things work now

    As the proud father of a 15 year old daughter... Dance = Exactly as you described (thank god she lost interest) Horseback Riding Lessons = a fraction of the cost of dance (lost interest) Fencing = a fraction of the cost of dance (lost interest) Music lessons = a fraction of the cost as dance...
  5. AMC is considering letting people text in movie theaters

    When a theater chain announces Cell Phone jammers for every screen, they will earn my full support and dollars.
  6. Doctor Strange

    Same universe as most Marvel Characters. Sorcery vs mutant/science/alien powers. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doctor_Strange
  7. DirectTV. How is it?

    We have had DTV for a few years now... Exponentially better than Cox cable in our area. Great customer service, and only a couple of signal issues with heavy winds and rain. I only have a couple of complaints... 1. Pricey - To get the few channels we like to watch, we end up getting packages...
  8. Doctor Strange

    The trailer looks good. Another origin story. Maybe someday they will trust the audience to accept a hero without spending an entire first movie introducing them. Marvel hasn't really misfired yet. I am sure it is coming, but they are about as sure a bet as you will get in Hollywood when...
  9. The Bastard Executioner, Pilot on FX tonight

    I tried to watch it with the wife last night... It seems like a really slow burn with nothing that really grabs your attention. There are a lot of poorly introduced tropes (a former soldier, a mysterious druid/shaman/witch, an evil "Sheriff of Nottingham" type), but no real stakes. There wasn't...
  10. Which brand helmets are good?

    When it comes to helmets, fit is everything. Find a helmet that fits your head first, then worry about fitting your budget. Also ALWAYS wear ear protection. Wind noise will damage your hearing over time. Pricier helmets usually come with nicer liners (softer, odor resistant, moisture wicking...
  11. Motorcycle Front Brake Tightened while wheel was off.

    A simple tool like this will work nicely. http://www.ipdusa.com/products/6627/107270-piston-compression-tool-for-sliding-calipers
  12. Choosing sporting car under $15,000

  13. Understeer, oversteer, drifting curves, achiving best handling, 6AT, lowering

    Find a race track close to you and sign up for a performance driving class/clinic. You will learn more in a weekend with experienced instructors than you will ever learn driving recklessly on public roads.
  14. Removed throttle body. Behind it, there's WATER in my engine?! (PIC)

    Carbon build up on the top of the pistons could be striking the tip of the plug. Also worn rod bearings could be allowing the piston to travel higher in the combustion chamber combined with carbon. It might be possible to find a slightly shorter plug (or shim the OEM plugs with an extra washer...
  15. Delete...

    Gorgeous bike!!! I believe that the "Adventure" style bike is the new do-it-all machine. Comfort, performance, and practicality (easy to add luggage and other farkles). With Ducati DNA you have turned it up to 11. Cheers!
  16. Help me ID this motorcycle

    Triumph Tiger 800
  17. Car stereo and phone question

    Crutchfield offers live support and will show you every part needed (dash kits, antenna adapters, steering wheel control adapters, etc.) for your specific model. They are also among the best when it comes to returns and customer satisfaction. They may cost more, but they add a lot of value...
  18. Best SUV under 15k? RAV4? +Best site to determine car values?

    KBB, NADA, Edmunds, Truecar, etc. can all be used to give you an general idea of how much you can expect to pay based on condition and miles. Can you be more specific about your requirements? The RAV4 is a decent SUV as an appliance, but there may be other options to consider based on the...

  22. The official Electric Car discussion thread

    There is nothing preventing any manufacturer from selling EVs anywhere they have a market. That doesn't mean they are willing to or that they want to. EVs cost a lot in research and development to bring to the market. Economies of scale result in huge losses until enough cars are built and...
  23. What the Hell Happened, Part Deux: Renee Zellweger Edition

    That's because he is The Shat!
  24. The official Electric Car discussion thread

    I think the safety issues would prevent such a system from being installed. CNG is a disaster waiting to happen in an accident. Securely placing the tank, and then developing a safe way to refill would be an engineering nightmare for very little benefit.

    As a long time Southern Californian (1976-2011) that moved to Las Vegas, I really miss the weather with it his 110+. :biggrin:
  26. Lane Splitting

    I split on the freeway, and I split at stops. I have seen too many cars/bikes rear ended by inattentive drivers while they sit helpless at a light or stop sign.
  27. Car stereo and phone question

    Head over to Crutchfield and get a cheap radio with Bluetooth and USB. Add in a dash kit, and wire harness adapter, et. and you can have a "modern" stereo system for $200-300.
  28. The official Electric Car discussion thread

    EVs are not sold outside of CA (and Oregon), because automakers are only interested in meeting state requirements for zero emissions vehicles. California requires manufacturers to sell zero-emissions vehicles on a schedule that started in 2012 and rises to 15.4 percent of new-vehicle sales by...
  29. The official Electric Car discussion thread

    Most gasoline powered cars have a range of @300-400 miles per tank, and that is enough for most people to commute for 1-2 weeks between fill ups. EV's do not need a 500 mile range to be accepted by most drivers. I think 200 is the sweet spot that will open the market up.
  30. Why No One Will Sell You The Bike You Want.

    I highly doubt that.
  31. Why No One Will Sell You The Bike You Want.

    Not sure if you are trolling, but it sure smells like one. Tires have X amount of traction. The forces generated by accelerating, braking, turning, shifting weight, and changes in chassis geometry use up a portion of X. Once X is exceeded you lose grip and interesting things happen. You...
  32. What car did your parents drive when you were little?

    I am sure I am missing some, but since I was born... From 1971-1986: 1971 Plymouth 'Cuda 383ci 1973 Pontiac Grandville 4-door 400ci 1973 Plymouth Sebring 2-door 318ci 1978 Ford Econoline Conversion Van 351ci 1986-1997: 1986 Plymouth Voyager 2.6L 1966 Mustang 2+2 Fastback 289ci 1987 Buick...
  33. Why No One Will Sell You The Bike You Want.

    To be honest I wouldn't have allowed myself to be in that position in the first place. On a bike you need to constantly be aware of your surroundings, and proactively stay out of situations like the one you describe. If your escape route was to jet forward, then you should have moved forward...
  34. Getting better than avg mpg (+10%). Something wrong?

    I was just describing a scenario where you would see an 10% increase in mpg with only a change in driving habits. As you point out there are lot of things you can do to increase mpg. With regards to time and acceleration, It really comes down to how much more time are you spending...
  35. Getting better than avg mpg (+10%). Something wrong?

    My new Mazda6 has a "current mpg" display on the dash. If I granny drive it I never drop below @10-15mpg from a dead stop. Getting on the gas drops me to 4-7mpg. I usually granny for one tank, and then drive it like I stole it for the next. My average mpg doing the same commute every week...
  36. Getting better than avg mpg (+10%). Something wrong?

    Change in driving style, weather cooling down, possible change in seasonal fuel blends, etc, could all contribute to the +10%. It is most likely a combination of factors.
  37. Death Proof (movie) car up for sale

    Most movie/TV cars only look good on camera. They are shells that barely run if they run at all. Did you look at the pics for the Nemo car? The engine bay looks like a "Pic-a-Part" victim. Also there are visible cracks in the fiberglass fenders. That car is going to be extremely rough in...
  38. Getting better than avg mpg (+10%). Something wrong?

    Taking off in 2nd could increase mileage. Mazdas are setup with "Zoom Zoom" on throttle tip-in. Which basically means they will give better off the line performance at the expense of MPG. This gives a more sporty feel, but you won't get EPA estimated MPG if you don't granny the accelerator...
  39. Why No One Will Sell You The Bike You Want.

    I did it for years in So-Cal and Central-Cal. Lane splitting does require both acceleration and braking, but not the kind of acceleration you get from a supersport or liter class bike. You do NOT need a sub 8-sec 0-60 to lane split safely and effectively. Even the most modest bike or scooter...
  40. Any Amazon experts here? I think I'm about to get scammed :(

    I bought a Zune back in the day... Someone stole it out of my car when I forgot to lock it. Poor bastard did me a favor.
