Had my 2nd track day last month and definitely felt the pedal getting a bit long and the pads were seizing up a bit at the end of both sessions.

Trying to keep the car pretty much remaining stock to limit any warranty issues, so those are really the only things I want to worry about for now. Especially since the car's limits are currently far beyond my skill anyway.

Also, wanting to switch to 18s for more cost effectiveness and of course daily comfort and "reliability"/less potential chances to bend or break. All recommendations are welcome and anything else that I should consider! TIA

Golf first - I'm 6'5" and bought a golf set at the PGA store last year to try out the game. I did end up liking it, but even with adding the max 1.5" to the irons, they're still all too short. A friend's in law is a PGA pro who played a round with us and told me I 100% need to get properly sized clubs. I'd like to get that sorted first, then look into a few proper lessons. Any tips here would be super appreciated.

FWIW, I'll be living right next to Bayonet Black Horse - which thankfully also seems to be one of the most reasonably priced courses in the area.

For the friend piece, I'm prior service (E) going

I've had the diagnosis of those 4 bulging discs, degenerative disc disease and narrowing of the spine for about 10 years now. Most days are fine, though I get a couple days a year where I can't be off the couch without tremendous pain and I have some muscle relaxers which helps a lot for those times. I've previously done steroid and facet injections, physical therapy, yoga, continued to work out... Nothing has really helped. The neurosurgeon that I worked with when I got my diagnosis was trying to prevent surgery as I was in my mid 20s back then, and I'm still a bit concerned with that.in the future. In any case, I've never really understood where and when the back pain comes from until yest

Not a single email from big AF about how important this day is not just for the nation but specifically how it shaped what the AF and the military complex has been doing directly because of these attacks for the last two decades. Nothing on reflection, on terrorism, or anything else. I don't remember a time where something was NOT sent out - typically followed by (at least one) other commanders/chiefs in the chain jumping in and sharing their stories or perspectives. I thought maybe it'll be at the end of the day, but nothing at all. When I got home, I saw on social media that our base FD had a ceremony of sorts (specifically to remember the NYFD), but it was not publicized to the general

Пользуюсь гугл-переводчиком, так как у меня только американская клавиатура...

Всем привет. Я переехал в США, когда был еще подростком. С тех пор я разговаривал по русски только дома с семьей, так что вроде нормально говорю - хотя читаю намного лучше.

Сейчас мне 34 и хотя я все таки владею русским языком, я пытаюсь поднять его на профессиональный/высший уровень. На данный момент я читаю vz.ru (из-за уровня сложности) и могу все понять (с русского на английский) но говорить (и вспоминать слова с английского на русский) нeмного сложнее. Надеюсь найти какие-нибудь подкасты, которые смогут заполнить пробелы в слушании и правильном произношении слов.

Hi everyone. Got me a 96 euro m3 for dirt cheap (pretty much free) in Europe just before COVID and am finally getting to drive it. It has a ton of cosmetic damage with a bubbling up rust spot on the rear fender, which makes me concerned for the rest. It has high mileage (330K km) and some idle and power band issues under 4k RPM along with a falling power steering pump and shot suspension. Before I go all in and dive straight into an engine rebuild+extras to turn this into a track ready car, I want to make sure it's good from a structural perspective. Besides the jack points, what other rust-prone areas should I have checked? Also, any recommendations for after market parts after a rebuild? I

So I've been maxing my TSP for the last few years as enlisted, my Roth IRA for my whole career, have 2 rent houses, a decent taxable account, and overall am doing quite well for myself as I aim for FIRE once I'm done with my military service. I try to be open with people about my financial situation and help them out with specific questions they have. I guess my name's been getting popular and now some folks want me to do possibly multiple presentations tailored to various rank groups throughout my squadron.

Rather than re-invent the wheel or talk about things like the 72(t) and "hey make sure you take part of your pay bump and add it to your investments" that worked for my personal situa

As the title says, I have an older SLK230. We typically use this car as a 10-20 mile (one way) commute car. Work/groceries, and that's about it. Always had some electrical gremlin issues, but lately it's been something else.

Little backstory - Right after buying it, the battery would die constantly and need a jump start (at least monthly, sometimes weekly). One morning the wife was driving it to work and said that the car died while slowing down as she was coming to an intersection. She managed to get it cranked back to go through, then it died immediately after once again. Cranked it one last time to get it in the nearby parking lot and it died as she pulled into the lot. Wasn't able t

So I finally found a mythical mindwarp and made a change to go aether damage - https://www.grimtools.com/calc/lNkj49RZ is my build. GT says I should have 2-3 more attribute points and 2 extra skill points, but I have no idea what I am missing. I have no idea on my devotions either, I kind of looked at what would be good for extra protection for HC, but it feels like a total mess.

Been doing more or less ok, but still feel either a bit squishy, and at the same time a little low on damage. My rings are a holdover from when I had a physical weapon, I have yet to find any +aether rings and I know they're holding me back a decent amount. Same with shield, really only holding onto it for the p
