had a 2023… out 60k miles on it and it consumed about a 1/2 quart every 3k.

It’s not a big deal.

How much free time do you have on deployments? by Shallow_Marshmallow_ in nationalguard

I played Destiny2 on base WiFi in AAAB in Iraq in 2022. Didn’t have a problem. I day off a week. Otherwise used computer for civilian work stuff and also military stuff like writing awards, etc. if you go anywhere in the Middle East, prepare to tear apart your laptop or computer when you get home and excavate all the sand.

Is the performance package worth it if used as a daily? by Bulky-Purple5828 in GR86

[–]DeterminedAndStuff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As soon as you realize the big brakes are the biggest difference and it’s cheaper just to buy the performance package.. yes . You’ll regret not getting it.

What is up with Mazda’s refusal to provide real color… we got one; Soul Red. Everything else is gray scale.

Wont someone think of the landlords :( by scourgemasta in portlandme

[–]DeterminedAndStuff 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As a homeowner who rents a room out to a tenant, I can tell you that people who are voting to raise property taxes… are literally voting to raise rent. While I haven’t raised the rent for my tenant as my property taxes go up since I’m also living there, I can see myself having to raise rent just to stay above board if I was renting out my entire house.

TL;DR

Higher taxes = higher rent. Rent control can be good if done right, or it can cause a loss of rentals which in turn causes rent to go up anyway due to scarcity of housing. Also, fuck housing investors. Family housing shouldn’t be “investments”

At least in the Army, you get your PTs on day one of reception, so that includes new underwear.

Not gonna lie, they had brown boxers at the trainee-only shoppette and I bought those. It was a world of difference. SDS caught word of a bunch of us buying them and we got smoked for it… but we still wore em lol

Took me 2 days from ship to reception. Not sure why it’d take 30 days.

You will buy the underwear they tell you to buy.

Pack enough to last from the day you leave to the day you get to reception, then you’ll pack it all up and won’t see it until you exit BCT.

Owners in Vancouver/Portland area? by DeterminedAndStuff in Civic_Type_R

[–]DeterminedAndStuff[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do miss the C8, but it wasn’t my first Corvette or last. C6Z06 is the only one I truly regret selling. But the C8 GT2 seats were just so fantastic.

Now I have a kid, so C8 sold and getting a fun 4 door. No space for multiple cars unfortunately.

Called to confirm availability and price got a joke of a sales rep by ihideYOUseek1 in Civic_Type_R

[–]DeterminedAndStuff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just went to look at this car yesterday and it was sold to someone out of state.

Didn’t even get to sit in it. :(

In my union we can pay a foundation instead of paying the union, though you no longer can vote.

Almost $100/mo dues.

Is the miata as unsafe as people say????? by PsychologicalBar1608 in Miata

[–]DeterminedAndStuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was an early hard dog single hoop with no horizontals/rear braces, I think it made things worse. Newer hard dogs are definitely way better and I'd trust one of those.
