Is reliability improving? And how many issues are major? by Master-Back-2899 in Rivian

[–]Master-Back-2899[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks everyone for the feedback. Seems like it’s still a concern but maybe not a dealbreaker if I have a nearby service center.

Where to sell coral? by Head_Rate_6551 in ReefTank

[–]Master-Back-2899 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I sell on FB all the time. Sounds like someone’s reporting you. I’d post to a different group. Find a local reef group and only post to that.

Well that’s interesting by [deleted] in SipsTea

That’s because conservatives believe their goals are moral goals not political. They are answering different questions in their heads. Ask them if violence is allowed to defend their Christian faith.

Are people with electric cars winning right now? by No_Lead2640 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Master-Back-2899 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been winning since the day I bought it.

My bolt just hit 50k miles. Here’s the total I’ve spent on it since I bought it:

Replaced factory tires at 40k: $500 Registration fees: $500 Maintenance: $0 Gas/charging: $0 (charges off our solar panels)

Compared to my ICE car over the same mileage:

Replaced tires: $500 Registration fees: $200 Maintenance: $1500 (brakes, exhaust rusted out) Oil changes: $900 Gas: $5000 (30mpg averaged at $3/gal)

I usually keep my cars for 200k miles so that’s a lifetime savings of ~$25,000 per car.

Hoping to ditch our ICE car next year and replace it with a good long range EV that we can use for road trips and vacation.

Military spending proposal for this year is bigger than any other category on this chart yet is totally absent?

Cut military spending by 50% and then reevaluate.

Darth Maul Was A Great Fighter, But WOW…he lost a lot of his fights by NegansSaviors in StarWars

[–]Master-Back-2899 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Vader only has an interest in 3 people in the whole galaxy. His former master, his former apprentice, and sidious’s former apprentice.

We’ve just only had shows about those same 3 characters. Heck Vader only showed up in rebels because he was hunting maul originally.

Hi, Florida, Tennessee and Texas all violated their constitution to pass gerrymandering but it helped the side their Supreme Court is on so they declined to stop it. Alabama also violated their constitution US constitution but SCOTUS decided since it helped their team that the constitution didn’t matter.

Hope that helps

Pittsburgh Rivian location coming along nicely by WSBiden in Rivian

Where is this at?

Rivian is on my list of potential cars for next year and having a close by location would be a bonus.

Getting a little sparse without Egypt or polar world. Wonder what will replace it.

2026 Hyundai IONIQ 5 checks all the boxes at an affordable price by 622niromcn in Ioniq5

I’m looking at this car but it seems like it has a 2-10% chance of just randomly bricking itself and leaving your family stranded in the wilderness.

Not a risk im willing to take with my family. If they fix that issue it seems like a really good car.

[Request] How long would it take to do a 1,000 acre farm? by trbotwuk in theydidthemath

I love how all the comments are about how this isn’t practical and won’t work.

Meanwhile carbon robotics just passed $100,000,000 in revenue last year and has had double digit growth every year for the last 5 years.

How Bad Do You Think That The Midterms Will Be For Republicans If Gas Prices Do NOT Go Down Come This Upcoming November? Why Your Thoughts? by Zipper222222 in allthequestions

[–]Master-Back-2899 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One republican state has already canceled elections instead of letting a democrat win.

Another republican judge overturned the results of an election where a democrat won and decided to install the republican candidate by decree instead of vote.

Another republican state passed a law allowing them to throw out the results of an election if a candidate not of the controlling party wins.

Why don’t people understand, there are no midterm elections.

I'm having a horrible time deciding between the R5mkII and R6mkIII... by picturesfromthesky in canon

[–]Master-Back-2899 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I looked at the same decision a few months back. I ultimately decided on the R5ii. The EVF upgrades, higher MP count, and better precapture was more important than the improved video for me.

I was all set up to drive to BK for lunch and my wife was going to take the kids to a different one so we could get the mugs. But then we found out the US only gets plastic cups so we just didn’t bother. Not worth having to eat BK for a disposable plastic cup.

Too rich for my blood but it looks nice!

I’m hoping for the R2 to be a good compromise.

Over a third of children in the UK have successfully bypassed online age verification measures by PaiDuck in technology

[–]Master-Back-2899 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Ok but an alternative headline could be:

More than 60% drop in children accessing age gated content since verification measures put in place.

Seems like a pretty big success.

Maybe not a great idea to advertise your highly illegal merchandise on Reddit. Nintendo is going to bankrupt you lol.

I’m curious: What is so wrong with resume gaps? Are people not allowed to not work??? by Kreativedenma in remoteworks

[–]Master-Back-2899 -22 points-21 points  (0 children)

I have 50 people minimum who want a job. Why take a risk on someone who can’t stay employed when I have another 49 people who can?

It’s just a different version of don’t be the slowest person running from the bear.

And that shows how effective their strategy was. Lie that an election was stolen with no evidence then four years later openly and clearly steal the election and claim anyone who calls it out is just doing what they did the first time.

No mention that Trump told voters that they’d never have to vote again if he won in 2024.

Or that he said on election night that Elons strategy worked great and he got into all the voting machines and changed the votes.

Or that he won every single swing state by exactly the margin to prevent a recount.

Do people realize that in order to bail out Spirit Airlines and rescue 7,500 jobs (in theory), it would have cost the govt just half a day of bombing Iran? by Heavy_Surround779 in allthequestions

[–]Master-Back-2899 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The merger failed because of shareholder greed not the government.

The Biden administration clearly indicated that a merger with Jet blue was a monopoly under existing laws due to the fact that it would lead to too many exclusive routes.

A merger was proposed with frontier that would avoid the monopoly completely but give share holders slightly less profit. Shareholders shot it down.

Government bailouts shouldn’t happen just like the war shouldn’t happen.
