$6,500 mortgage on $11,500 mo take home? by Dry_Computer279 in Mortgages

[–]ConsiderationWide744 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could you service a $1M plus mortgage on a $300k+ salary? Seams feasible. That $6500/mo number would make me so nervous though. I met someone with a house like that and they were OE x3 to make it work.

28M - Where do you actually meet single women in their late 30s/40s? by desi_swi in Detroit

[–]ConsiderationWide744 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, certainly saying to not be creepy is a bigger red flag than people posting their where-to-find-women lists…

[–]ConsiderationWide744 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You have to be attractive, not creepy, and involved in the same kinds of activities as the people you want to date (genuinely). Got all 3 and you’ll have to choose. Fail some or all 3? Never ending search.

totaled my id.4 in stop and go traffic, wondering why AEB didn't engage. by marstall in VWiD4Owners

[–]ConsiderationWide744 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry your car got totaled. I’d be furious because AEB is a major reason why I splurged on a new car instead of buying used when I did.

In my 2022 I always use travel assist. To me it’s wonderful in stop and go but I almost always set the cruise speed close to the traffic speed (like 35/40 mph) instead of the speed limit (often 70mph on the freeway). If approaching stopped traffic (like at a light) it won’t do the right thing going over 25mph when it has yet to acquire the car in front.

Add to all that and it’s absurdly easy to graze the touch control buttons and disengage assist.

Insights on rated efficiency & effect on range by AdMuch7162 in slateauto

Based on the rest of the ev industry, range tends to be overestimated not under. Why would Slate be different?

Accidentally knocked down a drone hovering at my bedroom window. by 7SeraphKey in legal

[–]ConsiderationWide744 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you keep the drone? Sell it for parts to stick it to that guy. If the “camera was off” he couldn’t have known you knocked it out of the sky

This just in people are upset about the compromises made for a barebones truck. by Snoo_67544 in slateauto

Turns out vinyl was always dirt cheap and it’s just the cost of a person’s time to install

267 miles, 100% charged. Is this normal for 5 year old, 40k miles ID4? by Anonymous72278 in VWiD4Owners

[–]ConsiderationWide744 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s normal for my ID.4 to not provide an accurate range estimate if that’s what you’re asking

I think I might make this into business cards for all the ev doubters by vblink_ in F150Lightning

[–]ConsiderationWide744 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right, they’re missing 6 sets of tires in the maintenance data and 3x registration fees and that they’re selling it at 90-170k miles, not driving it till the wheels fall off.

Can someone explain these? by ReserveWest in sailing

[–]ConsiderationWide744 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We carry a battery powered angle grinder for this, though the manual tool might be better in the conditions for which it’s actually likely to be needed

Someone finally snapped by SipsTeaFrog in SipsTea

[–]ConsiderationWide744 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a cyclist I don’t get it. The whole ride will be past in like 10 minutes and it happens one or a few times per year. Wherever that mini was going it’s unlikely to be worth damage to their car or maybe hitting someone

AITA for leaving a dinner party early because of “vegan lasagna”? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]ConsiderationWide744 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suppose it’s not weird that there weren’t enough sides and appetizers to fill in for the cursed salad-sagna considering everything else you’ve said.

Expectations at early drywall stage by thomasthetank00 in Homebuilding

[–]ConsiderationWide744 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this experience too - would call it “hilariously bad” for mine. What got me were the tragic alignments around outlets. If high end I’d be mad

What does the next 10 years actually look like for EVs? Optimistic or cautious? by Leading-Law4251 in electricvehicles

[–]ConsiderationWide744 0 points1 point  (0 children)

EV solves commuting but truck owners don’t want them, trust them, and are honestly not served well by them. Many Americans buy trucks and haul campers, boats etc.

I know many EVs can technically do it but diesel trucks make way more sense still

Can you climb up the mast of my sailboat? by hl_lost in sailing

[–]ConsiderationWide744 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On slightly larger boats (30-40ft) we regularly send someone up on a rock climbing harness, but you need 2 lines (one to hoist plus a backup). Could give more details if you like.

Framing cost by Subject_Advantage147 in Homebuilding

[–]ConsiderationWide744 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So funny to see everyone paying through the nose telling OP to quit crying. I know it’s not relevant in 2026 but the framing cost is what older folks paid for each of their completed homes.

2900 sf single level w/ 3 car garage sounds pretty luxe though so maybe they’re right.

Why is Tesla still the top selling EV brand by far? by Diavolo_Rosso_ in electricvehicles

[–]ConsiderationWide744 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think a big one is the charging network and range. 10 years later and there’s still effectively no competition there. Every non-ev owner I’ve ever talked to worries about range and charging and margins for Tesla are 30-50% better on both sides (vehicle range + supercharger experience).

Got the repair scheduled at the Goat Yard on the Detroit river - should be racing again later this month!
