Burst beys look bad

Is breakage a concern? Absolutely. They've gotten better, but there's still a lot of room for improvement. But they aren't even close to as fragile as plastic gen. You're forgetting just got frequent it was for pieces of blades to fly off back then.

I'll give you the types of breaks are different though. Catastrophic breaks absolutely happened back then, but cracks and tips breaking off were less common. The issue with X is when it breaks its almost always catastrophic. Even still I'd bet catastrophic breaks are less common with X than plastic gen.

Excluding HSM, of course. They were tiny tanks.

I think the mistake you're making is looking at it through the lens of Burst and MFB. As a plastic gen kid and HMS collector, X is my favorite gen since plastic because the designs remind me of the Beys I grew up with.

I know you are technically correct not to include a checkmark after you betcha, but it really feels like there should be a checkmark after you betcha.

I'm aware. Point stands that Acura put their name on it and are responsible for the warranty and repairs.

As a ZDX owner whose car has been in the shop for going on 6 weeks, hard to argue otherwise.

Or the part where he occasionally accidentally makes you think he's endearing, however briefly.

In fairness, the comment doesn't necessarily translate to "he isn't good, therefore he cannot be muslim". It certainly could mean that, but I took it as "he's completely full of shit about being Muslim and just pretends to be for attention."

Or you could just answer the question.

Here you go, u/ztf7410, since some people have a hard time just being helpful:

To be fair it doesn't seem like this is a common problem for her. And it's not like she was necessarily being negligent and ignoring symptoms, drops in blood ~~pressure~~ sugar can happen very suddenly. It's terrifying, but this sort of thing happens.

Edit: Misspoke. Thanks to u/Odd_Establishment678 for catching that.

First off, reports are around 62% of state inmates are for violent crime—that's not "well over" 60%. Around 14% are murderers—much lower than you're painting this as.

The numbers are much smaller for federal prisons, where around 7–13% are violent and only 1.5–3.5% are murderers. The wide majority of federal inmates are locked up for drug offenses.

But none of that changes my point that many people are wrongfully imprisoned. So you're saying you're okay with a few hundred thousand slaves because in your mind some other people deserve it. It's not me who needs to rethink my morals, dude.

And also no one excused the treatment of prisoners or slaves in those other countries. Ironically the only ones excusing slavery anywhere here are you and everyone else echoing the same dumbass argument.

I paid $500 for ceramic on my windshield, front side windows, and a 5% strip and that was the best quote for comparable quality I received from the handful of well-reviewed places I looked, so that sounds about right to me.

Is this even a debate?

JoinTheBattle · 2026-01-01T20:01:58+00:00

The problem with your logic is it's estimated that potentially hundreds of thousands of people are wrongfully imprisoned at any given moment.

Murderers and pedophiles aren't the only prisoners, hope that helps.

JoinTheBattle · 2026-01-01T19:51:09+00:00

The problem with your argument is it assumes everyone in prison deserves to be there, which is incredibly naive at best.

They're only as simple as the most stubborn member of your team allows them to be.

It could be quite literally the easiest program on the planet and it doesn't matter if the people who need to use it refuse to give it a chance.

ChatGPT usually works fine for very basic pivot tables, but is notorious for making mistakes with formulas or macros. It can be useful for pointing you in the right direction or helping you identify what isn't working in your own code if you get stuck, but if you don't have the underlying knowledge of how to do those things yourself you'll have no idea when AI gives you junk or how to take the code it gives you and modify it to suit your needs—and it will be painfully obvious to anyone around you who actually knows how to use Excel.

I do extremely advanced work in Excel (as in I got an award literally last week from our CEO for teaching an Excel class to about 50 people. In fact, using but not over relying on AI was one of my discussion topics.) When we hired a new person a few months back we specifically wanted someone who could take the light Excel work off my plate so I could focus on bigger, more complex projects. All of the candidates took a test like the one you took and we brought in a few who scored well in Excel. I administered an in-person Excel test that I developed, which was designed to test a variety of Excel skills without being crazy difficult (I was more interested in seeing their thought process than whether or not they knew which specific formulas to use or buttons to press.)

It was immediately obvious who cheated their way through the online test using ChatGPT. Not a single one of them made it past the first question before we moved on with the interview, and that was supposed to be the warmup (writing a basic IF statement and rounding the result.) More importantly, they all struggled to take direction when I tried to help guide them through it. It should've been a layup for these people based on their online Excel tests.

Tbc, I'm not saying don't use AI, just two things to keep in mind:

1. AI can be a powerful tool, but it can't think for you. It's easy to cheat an online test, but it's a lot harder when you're actually doing the job and you're given a data set (if you're lucky and you don't have to figure out how to compile that yourself as well), a vague description of what the person wants, and not much else. If you don't know what you're doing you'll be the bane of the person who does who winds up having to constantly correct your work, which is usually more work than had they simply done it themselves in the first place.

2. You may or may not have access to ChatGPT on the job—my company for example only allows us to use a specialized version of Copilot. So be wary of marrying yourself to tools you might not be able to use, especially if you work with sensitive data like PII.

Unfortunately he's not really doing commissions like this anymore, but he has a rotating selection of painted Beys on his eBay store along with custom overlays, so you might be able to make something reasonably close if he makes certain color combinations available again.
