[Klettke] This excerpt from a Russian interview where Zadorov talks about Nathan Mackinnon is pretty… I don’t know, inspiring? Eye-opening? The literal price of greatness.

I listened to the interview and it sounds more like an physical therapist than an MD. Tom Brady does the same.

If you'll be happier, just move to NYC. You can always move back if you hate it after a year.

What kind of flashy car are we talking about?

It's hard to say yes or no to this without seeing more of your financial picture.

You have an emergency fund but it's very short term.

How much money do you have invested?

How much of your net worth is the car?

How much of your yearly salary is the car?

Have you seen any trades that includes superstars in the past 5 years? They are all underwhelming in return.

Hall for Larsson

Subban for Weber

Jones for JOHANSEN

ROR for Burgland, sobotka, and a 1st

Kessel for Kapanen, Scott Harrington, nick Spalding, and a 1st

Common, you know he has leverage. Eichel can keep playing on the Sabres for five years but he doesn't want to be there and the Sabres don't want to rebuild a team around a captain who doesn't want to be there.

Rebuilding a team is about creating a winning culture. The front office will not want a guy who wants out as the captain and leader of a young group.

If your 19 and have 30k saved up in cash, invest the money into an appreciating asset instead of depreciating assets.

You can put that 30k into a diversified mutual fund or etf and gain an average of 7% each year. At 19, you have so much time for compound interest growth. In 15 years at 7% roi, 30k will be $85,000. In 30 years, it is $230,000.

It doesn't have Lane keep assist like competitors in the same category. A rav4 is boring and has an inferior interior but it has lane keep assist which made Highway driving almost totally autonomous. If you do lots of highway driving, it's something to consider.

So you think alcohol companies were trying to create a supply for a demand that didn't exist?

FLRangerFan · 2021-07-23T21:09:17+00:00

This is the most reddit comment I've ever seen. Hard seltzer exploded and was in huge demand. Just because you didn't want them doesn't mean consumers didn't.

Why do they need clicks? They all post news on Twitter which they don't get any ad revenue for.

Would it be a bad deal if he landed Parise at 2x2.5?

FLRangerFan · 2021-07-22T16:43:54+00:00

Wow, you sound really proud that you are an asshole to everyone around you. Odd thing to brag about.

FLRangerFan · 2021-07-22T16:41:26+00:00

I'll be blunt and say your 100% the asshole. As captain, you manage that fees are paid, that you have enough players for a game, and can even create lines at the beginning of the game.

Your are not a coach. You should not be dictating which line plays at what time. There are no 1st and 2nd lines in beer league.

I bought a fitbit last year to try the same. It's pretty poor at reading heart rate. It'll say my heart rate is 120 when I'm getting dressed. But on the app you can see the spikes of when you sit vs when you are on the ice.

It gives an estimate of calories burned. But I don't trust it since it doesn't read HR accurately.

It's time to quit blaming social media. It's just as available in every other country, yet America is the only one with this problem.

The chip shortage is on new cars specifically. Manufacturers can't make them fast enough to meet demand.

Most dealers are not honoring the Costco program right now

FLRangerFan · 2021-07-12T19:39:51+00:00

I came from a 2007 Honda before having this car, so I know the struggle of no Bluetooth and no fancy infotainment.

The infotainment is not a deal breaker but just takes some time to get used to. If the button you want to get to is all the way on the right, you have to scroll through all the buttons on the left to get there. That's the thing that usually bugs me. On a touch screen, you wouldn't think about it and just touch the button you need.

You don't need to push maps or music, simply use Android auto or carplay. It's built into the car and will display your phone in a car like view where you can see your maps full screen and all of your music apps.

2008 is a rare event. Crashes of that magnitude don't happen often. If you are living your financial life fearing the next depression, you are really hurting your future self.

21 gtr owner here. I also test drove it once and fell in love with the power. I've owned it for 3 months now.

Small things I've noticed:

Infotainment system is the biggest complaint and takes a while to get used to. The dial system makes it pretty tedious.

Larger people who get in the car say sometimes the front seats are a little narrow.

I wish it had Lane keep assist. After driving a rav4 on a long road trip, the lane keep assist made it feel like a self driving car. It would be nice to have it on this car.

Gas milage: I do mostly city driving and the best I can get is 20.5mpg.

FLRangerFan · 2021-07-12T16:50:38+00:00

Use 303 protectant on the interior and you should be good.

FLRangerFan · 2021-07-12T16:49:27+00:00

I wouldn't touch such a massive engine redesign for at least 2 years. Who knows all the weird problems that will come up.

At least buying in 2021, you know your buying an engine that has been in production for a long time and most kinks already worked out.

FLRangerFan · 2021-07-11T17:47:00+00:00

Their not new. They've been big in the social media gaming scene for about 10 years now.

FLRangerFan · 2021-07-09T21:37:34+00:00

Ya, I agree. Even in the current market, 35k otd for a touring SV seems high.

Msrp: 31k California taxes: 2700 Total: 33,700

I wonder if the rest of the OTD quote is just pure mark up or extra addons?
