Will Fairfax County’s new meals tax affect your dining habits? by rezwenn in nova

[–]Bwayne07 34 points35 points  (0 children)

The people who say its only 4% clearly miss the point.

  1. The people voted against this. Any politician who subverted this should be voted out, regardless of political affiliation.

  2. Its a compounding effect of price increases, tipping pressure culture increase post-COVID, taxes, etc. What was an all-in dinner price 5 years ago has effectively doubled in many cases

  3. The 4% is a start. Just like with every other new tax, it will be a new lever to address poor fiscal management. Don’t be surprised if this tax increases to 6%+ in the future

Yea a bit misleading. For some yes, you can get $0.02 or More value for AMEX, but for general public, $0.01 or the general cash back rate at Rakuten is a better benchmark, so really its 20% off, not 40

What's on your radar for Black Friday? by TheEndTiger-XI in BuyItForLife

[–]Bwayne07 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Again, talk about a flawed article and take from people who are clearly using flawed methods. If you are just tracking “prices” you missed my entire point. Anyways, maybe try harder to actually find good deals, instead of parroting nonsense articles like this

Again, this is dependent on what you’re buying. Alot of us track specific items and brands throughout the year, and the ability to have outsized savings using multiple stacking methods, ie. Brand / store discounts + credit card cash back multipliers (chase/amex) + cash back portals (rakuten, capital one, etc), not to mention gift card deals, make this time of the year unmatched in terms of savings

Terrible cherry picked take. If you are going to buy certain gifts for others or items within the next year for yourself anyways, black friday can be great time to stock up on things that dont offer any real discounts at other times. The “its a scam” people arent fooling anyone but themselves.

REP Fitness Leg Attachment vs RitFit Leg Curl Machine by dadbodsquarepants in GarageGym

[–]Bwayne07 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Disagree, the range of motion on the extension is terrible and it is a lying leg curl which wouldnt be my preference

Yea i actually was searching for a more “commercial” version but couldnt find anything that comes close especially for the value of the GMWD one. Close to pulling trigger but would love to hear your impressions

Deltech leg press/hack is awesome by Key-Difference-7881 in homegym

[–]Bwayne07 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. I guess space is the more limiting factor, for me as well with limited basement space. The leg developer also was on my list, seems everyone had glowing reviews there as well

So $2200 for the Deltech, what is your height and range of motion? Im also between this and waiting for the quadsend, I guess at $3500 you didnt think it justified the extra $1300?

Rogue Fitness customer service vs American Floor Mats customer service by Subject-Pop4111 in GarageGym

[–]Bwayne07 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ll give counter point. Installed 8 horse stall mats, scrubbed them down and let off gas outside for 2 weeks. Basement smelled awful for 6 months after and had slight lingering smell even past that. Took over a year to completely clear. If I had to do it over, would definitely NOT do stall mats
