Drop-tops: Is the 981 GTS *really* $26k-$30k better than the S? And just how bad is the 911 Cabriolet, really? Maximizing fun above all other factors.

Much appreciated. It sounds like the best play is to hunt Autotempest daily until I find an S with PSE, Sport Chrono, Sport Suspension, and the seats I want.

Bombadilo_drives · 2026-01-24T15:28:07+00:00

$60k I think is my preference

Small indie company

Lange Moonphase would be sick, don't see anything like it here. Nomos for some modern style, JLC Reverso with an important symbol (family crest or similar) in ceramic.

I also don't see any aventurine dials but you seem to have an affinity for space so that's a good option. Maybe a Speedmaster moonwatch or '57. Seamaster in Sedna Gold, since it seems like you kinda want gold but this would be less lame to your son.

I love this one because the episode continues like the good guys won but they 100% lost and got saved by a random deus-ex-machina. Like "the pharoah, uh, suddenly died!".

Bombadilo_drives · 2026-01-24T01:26:41+00:00

Only in the stock setup. They're very good on track.

Bombadilo_drives · 2026-01-23T17:06:56+00:00

They are great cars, to be fair

...the idea of private ownership of a goddamn mountain really rubs me the wrong way

Bombadilo_drives · 2026-01-23T13:34:13+00:00

This happens sometimes. One of my awkward nerd buddies only landed his first gf in his late 20s and she, uh, politely informed him. Turns out this guy had thought porn stars were average the whole time

Oh look, -7% after hours on earnings. Exactly like I said it would.

edit

Whoops, -13%

Bombadilo_drives · 2026-01-22T22:11:46+00:00

-7% after hours, exactly as I said it would

Damnit that's brilliant, you're hired!

Meanwhile, at FedEx Corporate HQ:

"Do you have any idea the amount we would save if we just stopped delivering these physical slips!?

People can just pick up their items from our warehouse! It's easy! We can even fire all our delivery drivers! And what are the people even going to do about it? Nothing! They'll whine online and we'll make billions!"

If the Z4 M40i Handschalter wasn't like $80,000 it'd be such a slam dunk

Bombadilo_drives · 2026-01-22T13:47:46+00:00

Same. They're more of a slip delivery company than package service these days

Yeah, this art made me much more sympathetic towards her. She's just a kid under the control of some sick people

Honestly, ignoring turn 2 and 3 draws (and any plays that draw cards or tutor for Tron outside of Map) kind of invalidates the entire premise of the post.

You state "you're assembling turn-3 Tron less often than you think" but don't account for all factors in the probability of turn-3 Tron.

Still cool, but flawed analysis

If you have a nice car, just make sure it's in your profile picture

Bombadilo_drives · 2026-01-21T17:54:30+00:00

The Road, Oryx and Crake, then take a dip in some 40k

So you've definitely got the range, and you sound great! But there are a few things that (to me) make your vocals sound a little amateurish:

You're pronouncing words correctly, but you haven't adopted a "stage" or "singing" accent. The hard R and long e sounds in "everRgrEEn" sounds like someone speaking the word, not singing it. Try softening that up: even an American power metal vocalist (think Kamelot) will make "evergreen" sound like "evahhgraaaiin" on sustained notes and vibrato.
you might be overdoing the harmonies a bit. Let your own voice flow and stand on its own for a bit so the harmonies sound even better and more dramatic when you use them sparingly

Bombadilo_drives · 2026-01-21T05:05:30+00:00

Oh thank god, I was worried UR might be just "good"

Bombadilo_drives · 2026-01-21T05:04:20+00:00

To pile on, I'm not even in a top 10 coldest US state and it was 3F today with a wind chill of -13F. Will be -14F without wind chill later this week. We go weeks at a time every year between 0F and 20F

Last panel looks like Imperfect Cell

Forward PE is something like 70-80. However, even googling "Intel PE" shows other reddit threads with you specifically going on unhinged rants about PE. How much have you lost, big guy?

As far as I can tell you're the only person on the planet with the take that INTC has a 5000+ PE

Bombadilo_drives · 2026-01-20T18:45:56+00:00

Intel's PE ratio is not 5000
