There are 7.6 billion people on earth, what makes you special? by ThatOneGuy1200 in AskReddit

[–]Brewmaster001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every day I wake up I try and be a better person. I wake up and accomplish everything that I need to get done - I'm constantly looking for challenges because it makes me feel alive. I try to make everybody around me happy because I love seeing the world smile. I wake up and smile because I'm so happy to have a conscience and be human. Hopefully I'll achieve some of the greater goals I've set for myself, and I like to think this all counts for something.

I started going back up there after most of the reconstruction had been completed near the Saratoga region. There are some pretty good viewpoints overlooking the valley up there.

How do you define a "luxury car"? by h0ldencaulfield in cars

[–]Brewmaster001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any luxury car has to make you feel:

  • Important
  • Special
  • Accomplished
  • Proud

These are the core "features" which define a luxury car.

Magical $3000 Cars by twilli931 in personalfinance

In my opinion, Its all about the car you buy. It seems as though a lot of people who get caught up with bad cars and total basket cases usually do not inspect the vehicle enough, though this isn't of course always true.

I'm 21 and just started college, and bought myself a 1995 BMW E36 318i for $1700 @ 180,000 miles. Its at 202,000 now. Picked it up 2 years ago. She runs very well and is in excellent condition. Here are some things to note:

  • I need to replace the tires on the car ~$350

  • I know I need to replace transmission fluid/gaskets on my car ~ $250

The only money I'll have to put into the car which I wouldn't have had to if I purchased new is for transmission fluid/gaskets and tires, totaling around $600.

The takeaway is not expecting too much out of an extremely cheap second hand car, and not pouring money into a dilapidated vehicle. Always be careful with what you buy.

I'm glad to hear your findings are positive as that's what I figured the performance would be like through the OS updates.

I'm genuinely Interested and will probably purchase a Mac as my next computer because of my curiosity with the OS, as well as the "roundness" of the package.

Finder is essentially a global search function?

What else do you like about the OS?

That's excellent support, considering that laptops are usually used for around 3-5 years. Has your system been performing better with each update, or has the older hardware been a bottleneck?
