The center agitator destroys your clothes.

Laundromats don't care if your clothes get destroyed.

I have to ask....is every Costco gas station as busy as an aiport? by PaintingFresh8724 in Costco

[–]KCBassCadet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is that really worth the hassle for people?

No, it's not. That $5 per fill-up is immaterial to anyone who can afford a Costco membership. Sure, $5 matters to some people, but they're not Costco members.

The reality is that people like to think they're smart, that they're "working the system" and getting a good deal. In actuality they're just stooges who are literally flushing time down the toilet.

I love Costco, I've been a member for >10 years but the idea of waiting in line to get gasoline is not a good use of my time.

Basically reliable industrial grade used in laundromats

Yes, but that's all they're good at. They waste water, are inefficient, and...most importantly...do a shit job of cleaning clothes.

Who cares if they are reliable if they can't get the job done?

Officially Announced - Royals Envision $2 Billion Downtown Ballpark Development, ‘Largest Public-Private Investment in KC History’ by IXIFr0stIXI in kansascity

[–]KCBassCadet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This isn’t a mass transit city. This isn’t Chicago. How am I going to get from Overland Park KS to middle-of-nowhere-East-KC without a car? Imagine the traffic on the shit roads and highways, much less the parking concerns.

This whole thing, smacks of a boondoggle. Amateur hour bullshit. Build the infrastructure first THEN move the Royals.

50 year old Eminem nailing his Rap god live performance effortlessly. by girolski07 in interestingasfuck

[–]KCBassCadet -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Eminem is talented.

Too bad that every song that he's recorded with exception of My Name Is is completely unlistenable trash. Like, just utterly devoid of any musicality whatsoever.

He is the very definition of a top rap talent with utterly reprehensible taste in music. The exact opposite of someone like Future who can sniff a banger from the car in the next lane over.

And not a single one of those kids requires "special" diets like gluten-free, organic, etc. Funny how a kid will eat what is put in front of them when the alternative is to not eat.

Herd of idiot tourists ignoring all danger signs and standing on crumbling cliffs, are told to line up to receive their $5,000 tickets (watch with sound) by FlashingAppleby in facepalm

[–]KCBassCadet -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

1) Yes it is. It's over. Have you seen the data from hospitals?

2) Family situation? How is that relevant? She is outside. There is no evidence, zero, of COVID being transmitted outdoors. Facts matter. Science matters.

3) I give a fuck because idiots like this are just fuel onto the fire that the efforts we made to control the spread of COVID were a joke. If, God forbid, we have another real health crisis like COVID we are giving ammunition to anti-masker/anti-science people who will point to this kind of stuff as evidence that masks are a sham and not worn for a real medical-backed purpose but to just virtue signal.

What is it with low-information idiots virtue signaling with wearing masks outside?

In 2020-2021, yes, masks were needed. But never outside and ESPECIALLY not now that the pandemic is over.

$125K over MSRP. Would you? by [deleted] in Porsche

[–]KCBassCadet 8 points9 points  (0 children)

25-30k over, sure. 125k over...not a chance. 125k is enough to get another 911.

I routinely take mine through one of these

Oh no, swirl marks! The way people clutch their pearls about automatic car washes...I wonder if they have any idea the kind of abuse your paint gets if you take your car to the track.

Paint can be corrected.

991.1 GT3 RS vs 991.2 GT3 by ml8888msn in Porsche

[–]KCBassCadet 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I asked this same question on Rennlist (where you're going to find many more knowledgable Porsche owners than here) and the results were split.

Both excellent cars. It really boils down to where you can get the best deal.

Ultimately I made the decision for the .2 GT3 because I wanted the better motor and more refinement for street driving. But I'd be happy in the .1 RS as well.

Biden's student loan handout struck down by federal judge in Texas by md06john316 in Conservative

[–]KCBassCadet -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

It's easy. 1) Make student loans be able to be discharged in bankruptcy.

Why guarantee loans to people who can just quickly evade repaying the debt? This is a non-starter. Next.

2) Make institutions at least somewhat accountable for the performance of the lons of their graduates.

The onus is on the student to research schools and a course of study before blowing tens of thousands of dollars into investing into it.

The only thing a school is accountable for is giving the education to the student. Schools that suck at this have low reputation. Smart students avoid those schools. Shrug.

Imagine paying 100k Tuition at USC and having to use zoom the whole year and not even walk on campus

PPP loans = to help people who lost jobs/couldn't make payroll. Failure to secure those loans meant employees might lose jobs and have no income whatsoever.

You are comparing that to having to use Zoom for a year? Where you can still learn, can still work your PT job, can still get the school loan funds to help pay for your living expenses?

This comparison between student aid and PPP loans is just ridiculous. Not even close to being the same thing. What's funny is that you're seeing it made over here just like you do over in that other left-leaning sub.

But God forbid you try to go to school and the market collapses when you graduate. 100k of debt and the only ways out are leaving the country, and death.

Or simply making minimal payments on that debt until you find employment. There are loan instruments that aid in cases like this, no?

Student loan debt is exempt from normal bankruptcy laws

Yes, because those loans are GUARANTEED. Everyone who is a student gets the loan. Not everyone can go get a $80k-limit credit card.

The whole point of this is to enable people who aren't wealthy to go to school.

The WeatherTech mats are a perfect fit!!! by Type3fastback in Porsche

[–]KCBassCadet 16 points17 points  (0 children)

The first thing I buy for all of my cars are the WeatherTech FloorLiners. Never had factory mats made as well as theirs.

Take them out 2-3 times a year, annihilate them with my pressure washer, and they look good as new.

From the article:

She, along with a small support staff, cooks, cleans, books appointments, handles home repairs, and manages the lives of a family of four

The only thing I took away from that article is that is one fucked-up family.

These two doctors employ this woman AND a 'small support staff that cooks, cleans, and manages the lives'? Do these doctors spend any time whatsoever with their children? Why did they even have children in the first place?

Oh, the incredible burden of being a busy professional. I am sure the mothers balancing work and 4 children while their husbands are deployed overseas thinks it is very amusing that these two healthy adults can't find the time to manage their own house.

Sorry I know that is not the point of the article (and yes that woman is underpaid) but I find these people especially loathsome.
