P1x ultimate floor?

Hi,
Does anyone know what floor is compatible with p1x ultimate?

Simlab’s website has it out of stock, so i found something on trakracer
https://trakracer.com/products/sim-floor-copy
And focus sim racing
https://focussimracing.com/products/focus-sim-racing-dropped-floor-pan

FSR’s seems to be compatible with seat sliders, but I’m not sure it would fit. All these floors have different dimensions which is kinda weird to me.
Can anyone suggest?

Also is simlab’s own floor compatible with their own seat slider?

Help me choose a birthday gift (for me)

I currently have:

Sim-Lab P1X Ultimate
Sensit Haptics seat
SRP handbrake
Fanatec DD1
ClubSport V3 pedals

The one major thing I’m missing is a shifter. I only have paddles right now, and I’ve been getting much more into rally, so I definitely want something that can do both H-pattern and sequential.

The dilemma is that I also really want a belt tensioner, probably the Qubic QS-BT1.

Budget ~2k
I see a few options:
Buy something relatively cheap like an SHH shifter for now, get the belt tensioner, and wait for active shifters to become cheaper/more competitive.

Skip the belt tensioner for now and splurge on the BDH Active.

Wait for the new CONSPIT CHS and see how good it is.

The BDH Active looks incredible, but ~$2.5k for a shifter is pretty hard to justify when that money basically covers a belt tensioner plus BDH sq2 or new Moza 3dof motion

Feedback on our kitchen layout, especially sink/stove spacing and peninsula placement

Hi all! We’d love some feedback on our proposed kitchen layout before we finalize the cabinet sizes.

A few important notes:

  • The picture is slightly outdated. We’re planning to use a 33-inch sink cabinet.
  • We’re aiming for at least 36 inches of counter space between the sink and stove.
  • The current plan includes a 3-inch filler, but we’d like to remove it and use those extra 3 inches between the sink and stove instead.
  • We’re willing to adjust the widths of any upper cabinets to make the layout work better.
  • We can also push the peninsula on the left farther into the dining room if that would improve spacing or functionality.
  • On the opposite wall, next to the refrigerator wall, there will be a doorless doorway. The doorway will be flanked by shelves/cabinets on both sides, with each section measuring 24 inches wide.

We’re open to broader layout suggestions, not just small adjustments. Does this seem like the best way to maximize prep space between the sink and stove? Would you change the peninsula position, cabinet widths, or anything else?

Thanks in advance!

DAE not visualize anything while reading?

TL;DR: I just learned that most people actually see images in their heads while reading. I don’t, and I’m wondering if anyone else experiences this

Today I found out that most people actually see scenes in their heads when they read a book.
I don’t.

When I read about a house, I don’t picture a house. It’s just the concept of “house.” If you’re a programmer, it’s like an object of type House, but with no visual representation.
I’ve always struggled with fiction because of this. Unless I consciously force myself to visualize what’s happening, it’s just a sequence of words and events that I have to keep track of.

Abstract things like math or ML concepts have never been a problem. I don’t visualize those either.

I’m currently remodeling a house, and I realized it’s the same there. Unless I have a drawing or a 3D model, I can’t really imagine what the finished space will look like or whether colors will work together.

Does anyone else experience this?

Trying to recreate Eastern European/Ukrainian smoked meats. Was it cold smoked or something else? What smoker setup do I need?

I grew up in Eastern Europe/Ukraine, and we had a lot of smoked foods: meats, fish, cheese, smoked pork belly/boczek, smoked ribs, smoked wings, sausages, etc.

I’ve been in the US for about 15 years now, and I really miss that style of smoked food. Most “smoked” food I see here is American BBQ: brisket, pulled pork, hot-smoked ribs, wings, etc. Good food, but not the same thing.

The stuff I remember from back home was more like cured/smoked meats you would slice cold and eat with bread, mustard, horseradish, pickles, etc. Some of it was probably cooked, some maybe not, but I honestly don’t remember the process well.

So my questions are:

  1. Are those Eastern European smoked meats usually cold smoked, warm smoked, hot smoked, or cured first and then smoked?

  2. For things like smoked pork belly/boczek, ribs, wings, fish, cheese, and sausage, what is the typical process?

  3. What kind of smoker should I buy in the US if I want to recreate that style, not just American BBQ?

  4. Do I need a separate cold-smoke generator, smokehouse, pellet tube, electric cabinet smoker, offset smoker, or something else?

  5. Any good resources/books/videos for Eastern European/Polish/Ukrainian-style smoking and curing?

I’m not trying to make Texas brisket. I’m trying to recreate that old-school Ukrainian/Eastern European smoked meat flavor: smoky, cured, dense, sliced cold, eaten like deli/charcuterie.

Any advice on equipment and process would be appreciated.

Pls help, bought this 1960 house

Since the house didn’t come with a floor plan, I created one myself. It’s in California, and right now, the floor plan feels a bit old-fashioned. I’m considering removing the wall between the kitchen and dining area (in the lower left corner) and making it larger. Alternatively, I’m thinking about combining two smaller bedrooms, which are currently quite narrow. Should I hire an actual architect to help me plan this? I’m a bit worried about the cost, and I’ve tried calling a few, but no one could give me an estimate. They mentioned that projects like this can range from $5,000 to $100,000, so I’m not sure how to proceed.

Looking for a residential architect/designer for a Millbrae remodel and future addition

We recently bought an approximately 2,000 sq. ft. house in Millbrae and are looking for recommendations for a residential architect or design firm with experience in Millbrae/San Mateo County.

The current floor plan has several separated living areas and a small kitchen with very little counter space. We would like help developing a cohesive plan that may include:

  • Reconfiguring and opening the kitchen, dining, and family areas
  • Evaluating which walls can be moved or opened
  • Improving circulation and storage
  • Adding or reconfiguring a half bath
  • Updating the bathrooms
  • Developing a proper lighting and electrical plan
  • Planning for a possible future ground-floor addition
  • Coordinating structural engineering and Millbrae permits

We want someone who can look at the house holistically rather than only design kitchen cabinets or select finishes. Ideally, they could prepare measured existing drawings, provide multiple floor-plan options, create a phased master plan, and coordinate with a structural engineer and contractor.

We are considering both a layout that preserves all bedrooms and one that repurposes a bedroom to create a better space.

If you have completed a similar remodel in Millbrae, Burlingame, San Mateo, or nearby, I would appreciate recommendations and any lessons learned. It would also be useful to hear what services your architect provided, how permitting went, and whether you would hire them again.

Please feel free to DM names if you would rather not post them publicly.

I’m in a peculiar predicament. I had tech interviews with two different companies, and for both, I solved the problem with optimal complexity and covered all edge cases. All tests passed, and the code compiles. It’s been two weeks since the interviews, and I haven’t received any response from recruiters. I’ve followed up with each of them twice and sent emails expressing my gratitude and appreciation after each interview.

Earlier companies would either reject my application or at least respond to my emails with a message like, “We are reviewing and will get back to you.” However, the current companies are simply ghosting me, which I find childish and extremely unprofessional. Is this behavior normal?

Hi everyone, I have an upcoming tech interview. The interview involves “fixing code and making unit tests pass” (specifically, code to interact with .csv files). However, I’m not familiar with Python; I’ve primarily worked with Java. I recently watched a series of Python guides and believe I’ve grasped the basics. Nevertheless, I’m still a bit confused about class fields in Python and how they’re set in constructors but not in class bodies.

Could anyone recommend an interactive, quick guide that would help me prepare for the interview? I have four days to prepare.

Also splices still look like magic to me, looking into them now
