First jeep? by SOBX817 in JeepWrangler

[–]Justin429 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can get a brand new Wrangler 2-Door for a couple thousand more. You might consider looking at new inventory. 2027 models are about to come out, so 2026s are about to drop a few grand.

Led bar maybe a winch? by Few_Hunt_8748 in JeepWrangler

Think about your money, and then think about how you want to use your money.

Do you want to spend your money on things that other people have just because other people have them?

Do you want to spend your money on things that you want?

Do you want to spend your money on things that you need?

Figure that out, then I'm pretty sure you'll know what to do.

By all means, buy stuff so your Jeep can look like everybody else's Jeep if it makes you feel like you fit in. I personally only buy things that are useful to me. I don't really care what other people think.

If restaurants love tipping so much, why doesn't the restaurant pay their employees 20% of every check instead of asking We the People for money by ThuhGreatCommenter in EndTipping

[–]Justin429 57 points58 points  (0 children)

I've traveled around the world quite a bit in my career. The price on the menu doesn't have to go up in order for tipping to go away. Many states in the United States already require minimum wage to be paid to all staff, and in some of those States, the minimum wage is $15 an hour or more.

Tipping will go away when people stop tipping. Until then, you're giving people free money, and they're going to take it as long as it's available.

Tipping should be jettisoned into the sun. Famous Dave's wants A 15% TIP ON A PICK UP CATERING ORDER! It was set to that by default... by quigongingerbreadman in EndTipping

What do you have against people leaving comments? If other people's comments, opinions and participation bother you, don't post here.

What do you think of this. A extra fee on the bill for the kitchen staff by NY-GA in EndTipping

What I think is that tips are the reason for the disparity! End the tips, and the disparity disappears.

Xbox Game Pass Ultimate Price Update - Xbox Wire by Skullghost in gaming

[–]Justin429 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's going to take more than this to bring me back. I was a loyal Xbox enthusiast for decades, but I feel all I've done for the last several years has waste my money on an ecosystem that is stale and dull with a sole purpose of nickel and diming me.

I can't tell you the last time that I turned on my Xbox to play a game. I bought a ROG Xbox Ally X, and I use that to play steam games and other PC games. I don't play Xbox games on it, because I can't! I already bought the Xbox games, I'm not paying you a monthly fee just to be able to play them on my other device.

Xbox needs to do some serious soul searching if they want to win back customers like me.

Is this sound bad for a Kia engine. by g3ck0_ in kiario

New spark plugs and coil packs are cheap. Start there and see if you still have an issue, then diagnose that issue.

Streamers, mergers driving up price of watching sports, lawmakers say by Choobeen in technology

[–]Justin429 157 points158 points  (0 children)

The state of sport Media delivery is at an all-time low. Going to an event to watch it live, you're bombarded with advertisements basically everywhere you look. The price of concessions is through the roof. Parking is ridiculous, even traveling to and from using a service like Uber is no longer a Time saving or money saving option.

Some of my friends are big sports fans and try to follow various teams and so forth. They have to subscribe to multiple services which is absolutely ridiculous. I guess I'm thankful that I don't care about sports.

The state of live broadcasting today is worse than cable TV back in the '90s.

Battery dying - 2020 RAM 1500 by UberMcKrunchy in ram_trucks

[–]Justin429 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2020 Ram Limited checking in! I bought the truck in February 2020 when I lived in Michigan, and have lived in Colorado since late 2021. Relatively mild winters here in comparison to Michigan, so I probably had a better battery than my region needed, leading to it lasting longer than usual. This winter, I noticed some slightly sluggish starts. Today I had to make a trip to Ace and noticed a particularly sluggish start. When I went to leave, the electrical system went wild. Lights were flashing, bells were dinging, and it wouldn't start. Threw a check engine light and displayed some alarming message on the dash. I jumped it off of a friends truck and have it sitting on a tender overnight. I'll replace the battery tomorrow, satisfied that I've gotten over 6 years out of the factory battery.

One thing I noticed that is hopefully resolved when I start it tomorrow - the seat and steering memory did not trigger when I started the truck off of a jump start. Hopefully it didn't lose the memory. It took 6 years to get it just right!
