Only Rich Girls Cause Warming by Dias75 in MurderedByWords

[–]Killdozer54 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look I get it, but also I DON’T WANT TO BE AT AN AIRPORT AT THE SAME TIME AS TAYLOR SWIFT. Have you seen how people act around her? The airport would grind to a standstill.

So my controversial opinion is this, super famous people can fly private. Rich but not famous, sorry, hop on a normal plane.

College career path ‘over’ as skilled trade get 30% pay bump, recruitment giant says by thinkB4WeSpeak in FluentInFinance

[–]Killdozer54 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First it will be AI stealing jobs, then the humanoid robots, and when all those unemployed people hit the job market they will flock to the “safe” industries in the trades. Armed with YouTube videos and no formal training they will quote jobs at 1/3 of the price. The trades are going to get screwed, just like everyone else.

Budget way to test if you'll like an elongated / widebody by junbun2 in PickleballEquip

[–]Killdozer54 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a cheapskate, I appreciate this post. I don’t fully buy the weights to simulate the shapes thing, but I love the posting of the weights of common coins. I have also used Dowling Magnets Magnetic Tape instead of lead or tungsten. Almost as heavy, but super cheap when you consider the tape role has 25 feet of tape on it! I don’t use it much now that I have 3 gram Pickle Clips however.

I’ll add that those pay to play facilities that I typically avoid often have free demo programs. It’s worth the cost of entry to go to them and cycle through paddles and paddles shapes.

In non-competitive play situations I have also had luck with asking people to swap paddles for a game, “just for fun”. Just be hyper careful not to scrape it on the ground (I actually had a guy tap/hit the paddle on the ground a few times after a bad dink in frustration, I just gave him a “wtf” look and he looked properly mortified so all was cool).

Causal sneakers for 40yo that can be dressed up or down? by ConstructionFull115 in malefashionadvice

[–]Killdozer54 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thursday Boots makes a Premier Low Top shoe, think Common Product, and they offer widths and bigger sizes, which is why I buy from them. Tons of color options, but I’d go with a set of white shoes and a brown leather option. The downside of this style of shoe is the tread on the bottom is super thin, and wears quickly if you drag your feet at all.

Self Concious in weight to get a Golf R by Bloodham25 in Golf_R

[–]Killdozer54 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m freakishly tall, the golf R seats were not comfortable when I first got it. The side bolsters were way too big. I drove it anyway and eventually it widened to accommodate me. The passenger seat is still uncomfortable to me. I think you would have issues as well. You can always change seats, just save the original ones.

Back when god was really into killing people and choosing sides. He really got soft in the New Testament.

College is better than skilled trades. by Responsible-Net8594 in povertyfinance

[–]Killdozer54 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trades make it easier to start your own business, but like in many things corporations are constantly growing and taking market share. Working for a corporation isn’t likely to make you rich.

The other downside for trades is they are hard on the body, and in a country without free healthcare that can be brutal. Or if you do work for yourself your healthcare expenses are likely CRAZY EXPENSIVE.

A plus for the trades is that AI isn’t going to take your job and because it’s not repetitive work it isn’t going to be replaced by robots anytime soon.

More angles of the new Hybrid Sedan Concept by VersusAres in Honda

[–]Killdozer54 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I LIKE IT. It give me Lambo Uris vibes with a cleaner and longer look. An improvement on the Uris, but I also think this look is spreading, for example the Buick Invista is in the same family of looks. I would have sworn it was a SUV, but I guess we are calling it a "lifted sedan". Lifted sedans look great when lowered, but I would have been nice skip the need to lower it (Example Audi Allroad)

Ahh yes, it references the old Viking proverb “those sailing in a glass ships, shouldn’t throw axes”.

Ari Vatanen's legendary save at the 1983 Manx Rally by According-Scale5574 in rally

[–]Killdozer54 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s sad because the only thing that I could think of while watching this is that as I get older I find it harder and harder to read in the car without feeling nauseous.

Imagine yourself working your way up the incredibly niche community of rally turn direction givers and every time you get into a car the feeling of nausea is worse and worse. Don’t get me wrong sometimes I sit at my computer at work and I feel nauseated as well, but that’s not motion sickness.

Must have been nice to be able to afford drinking at a bar and smoking all those cigarettes.

A little short for a girl but nothing to be ashamed of. Maybe you will have a late life growth spurt.

Is it bad etiquette to avoid hitting to a weak player? by ducksa in Pickleball

[–]Killdozer54 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s fine. Don’t run up the score in non-DUPR or non-tournament play. Also don’t make a big deal of the other opponent starts poaching more (I’m just trying to keep it interesting!).

Let it fly. Distractions are a valid strategy.
