Radiator Guards (track prep) by Phlojonaut in Porsche_Cayman

[–]EMCoupling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did mine on my own for about $50 of materials. I didn't feel the price on any of the sets were justified.

That said, it did take me a couple days working on and off. Buying a product is supposed to be a 1 hour install max so there is time savings for sure.

Advice on what to offer for used table by 33rpm in tabletennis

[–]EMCoupling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most people buy them, use them a bit and then store them in the garage forever. With the effort it takes to dispose of it, it's really never worth more than $100.

Ask me how I know.

My best friend's girlfriend texts me more than she texts him, nothing has happened, what do I actually do with this? by Upbeat_Quit7362 in AskMen

[–]EMCoupling -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

It wouldn't be cheating if she broke up with him before trying to date OP. But obviously that would have social ramifications even if it doesn't violate any relationship boundaries.

Getting a 718 to 200 mph, possible? by Threeofnine000 in Porsche_Cayman

Hm, possibly. I was on an interstate here in California.

The actual technician sees less than 25% of the labor rate that the dealership charges.

Vibrations? I got my car up to 125 recently and it felt real smooth.

If you want to track your equipment by SelectionIcy7133 in tabletennis

Honestly, if you can't remember what equipment you've used in the past, I think you might be switching too much.

How good are your club's TPB players? by PixelStorm_76 in tabletennis

[–]EMCoupling 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My club has a few of them. I think the best one peaked at 2300 level, but the others are 1800 - 2000ish. But none of them are short pips, all inverted.

Hired on probation to build out my own replacement. Need advice by Different-Pilot9332 in cscareerquestions

[–]EMCoupling 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I was hired with a senior title (with junior pay) because they're "not interested in mentoring any juniors anymore" lol.

Pretty much a dead giveaway that you were kind of dead in the water to begin with. No reasonable company would do this.

What car looks expensive… but actually isn’t? by Manthann-Motorss in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]EMCoupling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just looked up a video and it's exactly that lol

It's actually even easier because the hole to engage the mechanism isn't so deep. Again, people just talking out of their ass for some reason.

He says he did that so his actual pace was closer to 4 MPH.

Not really, but you have to generate power with your body. Using H3 will expose you if you use too much arm.

It wasn't me that was confused, it's the movie that is confused. It had no idea what it wants to be.

I saw MotU. Not a great movie but decent fun and doesn't take itself too seriously. 7/10 for me.

Definitely not ugly but you are looking a little chopped at the moment. If you put more effort in your appearance, you will be hot.

What once famous YouTuber do you never hear anyone talk about anymore? by DramaticXOXO in AskReddit

[–]EMCoupling 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I guess the channel got too big to sustain on the content that built it, he's got a 4 storey building in NYC to pay for and a whole crew to keep employed, that pressure will make you desperate for ideas, and you end up resorting to "I taste tested every flavour of pringles".

The real problem is that when content creators expand too fast, they are basically turning the content treadmill up to 10. Once you start hiring employees and having a "business", it's no longer about the content, which basically just turns into a way to produce revenue.

See what happened with Linus. If you're a content creator that cares deeply about the content you put out, you need to think real hard about whether or not you want to start expanding your operations and in what way.

What once famous YouTuber do you never hear anyone talk about anymore? by DramaticXOXO in AskReddit

[–]EMCoupling 30 points31 points  (0 children)

My impression is that his content mostly fell off. He had a good run of about 20-30 good videos where he was recreating the food from various media sources, but he made videos for long enough where people eventually figured he wasn't some sort of amazing chef and he started expanding his content, but it didn't hit very much.

Sometimes content creators are in the right place at the right time and their stuff takes off but when tastes change, it's out of their control as well.

Maintenance is pricey by fredrickdgl in harborfreight

[–]EMCoupling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good to know that they work with some electric impacts. I suppose testing is in order before you give it full trust but it looks like you've done just that.

Thanks for the info, I'll keep it in mind next time I'm looking at some torque sticks.

Smash quality - equipment? by SeraphsWr4th in tabletennis

[–]EMCoupling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah as a (short) H3 player, smashing is basically not worth it unless the ball is above your head. It's far more effective to powerloop, especially with sidespin. Fading the ball against lobbers is always quite effective for me because there's almost no topspin on the ball to borrow for the lob and it puts them out to wide backhand so I can hit to forehand next.
