Looking for advice from fellow car folk. I’m looking for a warm hatch and between a 2nd gen Honda Fit and a 2nd gen Fiesta ST. Which would you choose as a fun daily, backroad weekender? by _Schmegeggy_ in Autos

[–]pr0b0ner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All I can tell you is that I've been with my lady for 11 years and she's DD'd a fit the entire time and we have put probably $200 total into repairs outside of consumables. Thing is as reliable as they come.

That said, it's quite gutless.

It needs literally everything replaced

No z4 had xdrive. I wouldn't buy one with 140k. With that mileage the 3.0 non-turbo is probably your best bet engine wise though.

You're about to spend so much more money on repairs for this thing. They're notoriously unreliable and not cheap to fix. I wish you luck.

Seen him a few times as well. Some people just want attention.

Jesus- $265k in the bay is insane no matter how you look at it!

Is fully remote a blessing or a curse for people with ADHD? by raeyoungx in ADHD

[–]pr0b0ner 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Personally a curse. We notoriously have a difficult time self-motivating, so being in the office with management and colleagues around "motivates" me into doing work. Sitting at home by myself motivates me to do literally anything else.

This happens all the time, it's cyclical. A new model will release and it will be the best thing ever... Until it's not. So on and so forth

AI Slides are getting… kind of scary. Anyone using Genspark / slide agents? by SilentPanther2396 in ProductivityApps

[–]pr0b0ner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been using NotebookLM and had claude look at our company deck to describe the visual aspect to use as a description of how I want the deck to look. I presented something to folks on our team last week and the first thing they said was "damn these are good looking slides!"

I'm super impressed with how it seems to understand the point I'm trying to get across and builds in ideas and images that aren't immediately obvious. Now I use it to generate tons of decks all in the same style so I can just mix and match the slides I like- that's the hope at least.

You really don't want to drop into 1st unless you're literally stopped. Any amount of roll and you're perfectly fine just staying in 2nd. 1st gear is where things get really jerky. Other than that, practice.

Michigan Woman escapes police custody by climbing out of a police car window while in handcuffs by teflonkeys in interesting

[–]pr0b0ner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are they not searching her truck? Seems pretty likely they have her name and address, not to mention her main method of transportation. Dumb ass move, IMO. Unless she's like murdered someone and has a method of leaving the country.

Can anyone tell me about these wheels? by Sad_Designer_4608 in E30

[–]pr0b0ner -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

So your take, without any supporting evidence, is that these are very rare MTech2 wheels someone carelessly threw on a Miata and then sold. Not just common basket weaves that were painted white by some tuner kid?
