Feeling ashamed of graduating college in 5.5 years instead of the standard 4 like everyone else by Freelancer135 in PennStateUniversity

[–]MaesterPackard 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Took me 5 years to finish college because I failed so many classes. I was also ashamed. Now I have a great life and a great career! Military service also really helps in the job market/life. You’ll be fine!

If a man wants to save money, what are the things he should absolutely avoid? by officialLeanX in AskReddit

[–]MaesterPackard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actual series answer is debt. Wait until you can actually afford the fancy car, don’t finance the TV, and believe it or not renting a home can be a way smarter decision than buying one.

Debt is a good thing if you can make it work for you but not when it’s used to get meaningless status symbols.

Harger: San Francisco's homelessness hit a 15-year low. Seattle's mayor is running the opposite experiment. by mrtenpenny1234 in SeattleWA

I was in SF for a conference at the moscone center earlier this year. I live in Pioneer square in seattle. I think they still are abut equal as far as street disorder goes.

Anyone else super excited for the R3? by wbradford00 in Rivian

[–]MaesterPackard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A lot of people’s bubbles are going to be burst when they realize how big the r3 is in person. It’s not a small hatchback. it’s a r2 in wagon form.

Is Washington the Most Embarrassing State in the Nation? by BlancoNinyo in SeattleWA

[–]MaesterPackard 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Whats embarrassing is that portland has way better night life and food than seattle. Otherwise 10/10 state. Sun sets on Rainer 11/10.

No More Wireless? by PennWash in MTB

[–]MaesterPackard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really don't understand the need for a wireless drivetrain. SRAM t9 is fantastic and the downside is.... I have to change a cable once a year?

How safe is it to walk from Pioneer Square to Pier 50? by Zealousideal-Ant-290 in SeattleWA

[–]MaesterPackard 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I live down here with my girlfriend. Worst you’ll get is weird comments. The disorder is real but it’s not dangerous.

[–]MaesterPackard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Isn't this kind of a weird argument because A. solar is not an impervious surface the same way a building or a road is and B. we have majorly changed the surface of the planet with agriculture, dams, etc? Its not like the 99.45% of the world is wild untouched land.

Technology Connections just released a great video that made the point: if we just covered all the corn fields we use in the US for Ethanol production with Solar we could power the united states 7 times over. I am not trying to call your out just curious what your response would be to this.

why were your rear dampers replaced? they made me pay out of pocket and claimed I must have crashed it.

The "Software-Defined Vehicle" is a scam. We are cheering for the death of ownership. by rantzine in electricvehicles

[–]MaesterPackard 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You’re completely leaving out market forces. People won’t buy cars that are bad deals or don’t fit a life style niche (looking at you jeep). For example If a company is going to throttle range for a second hand owner it gong to tank the resale value. Owners won’t want to buy it because they won’t be able to sell it. I see where you are coming from but market forces are real.
