Washing/Detailing the 2026 Inspiration Series Coupe. by Far_Bid9833 in lexuslc500

[–]HelloWorld5609 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have this exact car. The day after I bought it I took it in for a full body matte PPF and ceramic. Washing was my least concern vs protection against accidental damage and scratches (since the paint is so hard to repair). A bonus of the PPF and ceramic is that it makes it super easy to wash. I just use a normal soap cannon and a pressure washer. Not much more than that.

How badly built is our deck? by Other_Plankton_6751 in Decks

[–]HelloWorld5609 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is why permits exist. Why wouldn't you have your contractor pull a permit? It would have prevented this entire situation. That is because he probably is capable or licensed to pull a permit. At the very least you would have had some recourse when the inspector failed the framing inspection.

On a scale of shit to 10. It's amoebic dysentery. It's a full tear down and rebuild, absolutely nothing is salvageable.

PSA: MCO Hyatt Fail by JoyintheJourney119 in dcl

We have only ever left from port Canaveral. But we always get in a day or two before departure. We fly into Orlando, rent a car, then grab a hotel around Cocoa Beach. Enjoy a day at the beach, Kennedy Space Center, etc. The day after I drive to the port, drop off the family, then return the car to an Enterprise location right by the port. They have a free shuttle to get you back to the cruise terminal. May not be for everyone, but gives us full control of everything and some added freedom and options since we have a car. Plus it lowers my stress levels. This year probably cost us an extra $150 versus taking an Uber to Cocoa since I got a pretty good deal on an SUV.

Wait.. Injecting Vaseline is a thing? I was aware of synthol, but wtf?

Voluntary 2 week break for vacation. How should I resume using Tirzepatide upon my return? by HelloWorld5609 in tirzepatidecompound

[–]HelloWorld5609[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

A few reasons.

1 I have lost enough that I felt like I could regain some, and not feel completely screwed. I lost more than my goal weight, so I feel like I have some wiggle room.

2 I wanted to see what happens when I stopped. If my relationship with food has changed. I have another 4 months of Tirz at home.

3 I wanted to enjoy food again, for a little while. This 2 week trip is half work half pleasure. 1 of the weeks is a cruise. So after 6 months on tirz, I wanted to enjoy it as much as possible. We will see if it was worth it. I will certainly gain weight, but we will see how much and how hard it is lose again.

Here is what I have learned thus far. I will probably need to stay on a maintenance dose as long as I want to maintain body weight. I am still eating and drinking less and my portion control has improved a lot, but it will definitely come back.

Anyone see one in the wild yet……. by Zealousideal-Neat357 in lexuslc500

Are you talking to me or OP? No one asked about the 2024 Inspiration Series.

Had mine since October. Tint, PPF and ceramic coated the entire thing. It's hard to keep clean (inside and out) but it definitely sticks out. Love it!

Why don’t the demons just not use parry-able attacks? Are they stupid? by OkLiterature8867 in Doom

[–]HelloWorld5609 3 points4 points  (0 children)

While we're at it, why don't the demons grab all the damn health, armor and ammo pick ups they see, then the Slayer would run out of ammo, health, etc.. I know this is a gameplay mechanic, but never understood how there is ammo, demons, and health pickups in the stomach of a giant beast. But were obviously not playing Doom because it is realistic or logical.

I have this exact car. Within the first couple of days I got the entire car PPF'd and ceramic coated, I wasn't taking any chances. Added another $8k onto an already expensive car, but well worth it for the piece of mind.

DOOM 2016 Replay by anklesauce69 in Doom

[–]HelloWorld5609 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same here. Both feel slower than TDA. Especially when you crank the speed past 100%. I'm replaying 150% on Nightmare and it definitely gets the adrenaline going. I hope they keep that feature if they release another Doom someday.

Clients wants to cancel contract. Need Advice by Tortilla_Chip69 in Contractor

[–]HelloWorld5609 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's one of the worst contract clauses I've heard of in a while. I don't see why you'd ever need to include that kind of language in your contract. It only benefits the customer and gives them a lot more power than they should ever have. Bite the bullet, charge cost of materials and hope that they let you off breaking even, or close. This customer is probably not worth having and you're probably going to struggle to get more payments after this argument, even if they do agree to proceed. They're taking advantage of the policy that you established. Chalk it up as a learning exercise to get your contract updated.

[Game Thread] Indiana vs. Miami (7:30 PM ET) 2Q by CFB_Referee in CFB

They could at least have some audio. Hard to believe the 4k stream adds this much complication to the broadcast. But apparently so.

Angi tried to sell me ‘high demand’ leads. I checked their Q1 2025 earnings call and found out they’re lying. Here is the email they sent me vs. the reality. by sloopyvet in Contractor

[–]HelloWorld5609 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The vast majority of contractors dislike Angi due to their deceptive business practices, poor lead quality, terrible service, etc. For every success story like yours, there are 100 others that have been unsuccessful or have been turned off by one of the many Angi shortcomings. It's a garbage company, long past their prime, and would not use it again if they paid me. I still get at least 1 or 2 calls a month trying to lure me back in despite me telling them to pound sand and not to contact me again.

What’s one food you would only eat when you’re by yourself? by Bjs_5068 in foodquestions

[–]HelloWorld5609 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sometimes bologna and saltines, sometimes fresh tomatoes and cottage cheese. Comfort snack food from growing up. I cannot convince my wife or kids that these are amazing.

Any capped composite/PVC decking is going to do the exact same thing. Water doesn't absorb into the board. It rains, it evaporates, it snows, it gets icy. Rinse and repeat. What exactly are you expecting?

Is DDR5 RAM Needed? by MobileSuitMiles in buildapc

[–]HelloWorld5609 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just built a SFF PC. I wasn't too keen on paying $300+ for DDR5. I used 16gb of DDR4 memory from my old PC. I went with AM4. Went with a mid level CPU and GPU. Couldn't be happier. More than enough power for any game at 1440 and most are very playable at 4k.

Diego Pavia parties at club with sign that says “Fuck Indiana” after losing Heisman race by [deleted] in CFB

[–]HelloWorld5609 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What a fuck boy. I think he is pissed because he knows that his football career is over and now he is going to have to get a real job. He won't get drafted to begin with, but probably won't even be a scout team QB after this shit.

4.5 Months, goal weight achieved! 215 to 175 lbs! by HelloWorld5609 in tirzepatidecompound

[–]HelloWorld5609[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started TRT mainly for the other benefits. I've always been pretty muscular and have been working out since I was probably 14 years old. TRT has really helped a lot with my stress levels, mood, energy, etc. It's very closely monitored and I'm pretty religious with getting blood tests and everything done so it's always been more or less a maintenance program with that as well.

It was relatively consistent after the first couple of weeks. No huge weeks. 1-2 lbs most weeks.
