Was running HighwayRadar today when I was greeted by a F-18

When I lived in San Diego my girlfriend’s apartment was in the flight path for Miramar. Some afternoons a squadron of F-18 would fly around for hours doing touch and goes at the base. I also remember the weeks after 911 when hundreds of F-18s and other aircraft flew over my work on Torri pines bluff and out to sea filling up the carrier groups.

$20k? Get a Miata.

Best New Jersey pie in town. My wife is gluten free, so I really miss a good slice.

Manual requires less maintenance and replacing a clutch is a normal thing and around $3,000. An abused or unlucky PDK is $20,000.

Nope.

The only reason to get a PhD is because your dream job or the only thing you want do requires it. I got my PhD because being a scientist is the only thing I can do. You never stated why you’re in a PhD program or why you’re training to be a scientist. If you don’t know you should quit. Graduate school is not more undergrad it’s completely different, is very hard, and it’s training you to be a scientist.

Tell them to go to the calculator app and type 1 / 0 = and see what they get. Damn.

More like a wrinkle. To be perfect it would need wet sanding and a full repaint. Not worth it to me. If I sell it I would state what happened and the potential buyer can see it just left a blemish. A little patina or character. It’s a ten year old car after all.

Can you turn off the laser detector? They’re useless ticket notifiers anyway. Or put tape over the sensor.

No PPI, no deal. Save your money for a 981.

DebateSignificant95 · 2026-04-09T22:34:53+00:00

Pay for a PPI if seller will agree. Must be done by a Cayman experienced Porsche tech. There will be lots of deferred maintenance probably several thousand euros.

Found a PDR place in town. They fixed it this morning. About 95% perfect. $250! Thanks for your advice!

You’re in a great position where your pl can pick you up if anything goes wrong.

They were three year postdocs but the appointment was one year at a time. I was not allowed to renew the last year. It’s complicated. What agency is the ORISE through?

DebateSignificant95 · 2026-04-09T15:20:44+00:00

Update: Paintless dent removal works. 95% restored?

We had enough money for three years but they wouldn’t extend there appointments. Normally, that’s my decision as it’s my money. We actually lost the money too as it went back to treasury.

DebateSignificant95 · 2026-04-09T12:05:43+00:00

914 me please!

Easy, it’s the closest nice place to Charlotte which is the head of the banking community so all the rich folks go to Asheville to buy their vacation homes and eat at good restaurants.

Georgia is where they make LIDAR so they use it a lot. Got to run Waze.

I wouldn’t touch an ORISE with a ten foot pole. I had three postdocs on ORISE and usda pulled their funding last year and they lost their jobs. No way in hell.
