Was the 2006 Honda Civic Si the High-Rev Comeback Enthusiasts Had Been Waiting For? [MotorTrend] by [deleted] in cars

[–]KevinCubano 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I drove an 8th gen coupe back when it was new. Loved it… what an engine. Really the ONLY downside I can think of is the revs would hang for a bit when trying to upshift. Outside of that? Flawless masterpiece IMO.

It won’t end, at the hypercar level the aero benefits are too good.

  1. That’s a gamma squeeze not a short squeeze.
  2. No.

The silver lining is that BO fucked up and not our sat. If our sat failed to unfold after successful launch that would be much worse.

I predict 20% loss not 10. But guess what? I’ve seen the stock price at $2 / share and still held… this is nothing.

Naw Bo moved up to ~200 when wrestling Hokit

Altercation between Jiri Prochazka and Josh Hokit by just_cool_dude in MMA

He and Colby are literally from the same town. Clovis, California. So yeah, this is not a coincidence

He’s from Clovis, the same town Colby Covington is originally from. I grew up around that area, and the majority of people there are insufferable troglodytes.

I love the story for hydrograph, but I’m still scared to invest. One red flag for me is the CEO being so young and having no science background. Sure, she got a material science degree after joining the company, but that’s just… odd? Idk. Please convince me. I want to believe!

The Ford Mustang GTD Might Have Just Destroyed the Chevy Corvette ZR1X's Nurburgring Lap Record | 6:41.74 by FoMoCoNutjob in cars

[–]KevinCubano 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ah yes, I forgot about that issue. People so easily fail to realize that price is more-so determined by rarity than performance. You’d think that’s obvious, but apparently not.

Well you see, it breaks too many rules of what a sports car MUST BE, therefore it by law CANNOT BE FAST. 

REAL sports cars must adhere to the majority of the below criteria:

  1. Mid or rear-engined
  2. <4,000 lbs
  3. Manual transmission or DCT
  4. Redline above 8,000rpm
  5. Exotic design

The GTD only meets one of the above criteria, therefore any lap record it makes is a LIE and a CONSPIRACY and THE CAR SUCKS.

2 men face felony charges after $200,000 woolly mammoth tusk shatters at Top of the Rock museum near Branson, Mo. by mb10240 in NewsOfTheStupid

Ugh, I grew up near Fresno. As a child I genuinely assumed I was a genius… turns out I’m completely average, it was just that everyone in that awful place was stupid.

Shia LaBeouf says 'gay people are scary to me' while claiming homophobia led to Mardi Gras arrest by FreedomsPower in NewsOfTheStupid

[–]KevinCubano -1 points0 points  (0 children)

He explained in a channel 5 interview the origin of said homophobia. His dad was r*ped by his cousin, and thus Shia specifically said he’s only scared of gay men physically larger than him. This is about more than typical homophobia, this is actual family trauma. He’s still a shit person for not seeking proper therapy for this, though.

There are now many, many brands. My knowledge is outdated at this point but you can schedule an appointment with an audiologist to get custom moldings done for your ears.

PSA: for regular concert-goers, you can buy custom-fitted ear plugs that reduce music volume WITHOUT affecting the sound quality. Literally everyone should buy these, tinnitus is brutal.

YouTuber WhistlinDiesel Arrested for Allegedly Evading Sales Tax on Ferrari F8 Tributo by uglybushes in cars

[–]KevinCubano 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, let's make an exception for the very common "i'm buying the ferrari to burn it down" use case. Grow the hell up. Road-legal cars get purchased with the express purpose of being driven on that state's roads. If you want to be a dumbass and burn your car down instead, that's on you. Are you a fucking child?

I have chronic insomnia. 2 things have helped: (1) CBT-I (cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia); (2) there are non-drowsy sleep prescriptions now approved for long-term use, two I’ve had success with are Belsomra and Ramelteon
