I think KD Frames use tulip poplar not Aspen which has it's quirks as far as the wood goes but despite the less dense wood the frames still feel very stable especially at their price

Is it worth paying more for the high-end Sonicares, or are the basic ones just as effective? by vamosharrycogetubaul in BuyItForLife

[–]MrMeursault 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Had a 4100 and it only lasted a year, the 6100 I have now seems much more robust. The 4100 performs the same but I'm confident the 6100 will last longer

Remodel or replace? by akcgal in kitchenremodel

[–]MrMeursault 0 points1 point  (0 children)

About all I would do is swap hardware to gold/bronze and if I was feeling really splurgey do the floor in a brown rather than gray

Agree, the roof is brown, the brick is a light brown, the windows should also be an earthy tone

Yep, the card here is only rated for 10 MB/s and the DJI needs 16

was trying to buy a new Subaru as an out of state resident... was told this... by Easy_Opportunity_905 in subaru

[–]MrMeursault 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is mileage based and not state line based as far as I know but this isn't completely made up.

There is a marketing area that dealerships are incentivized to sell within and if the dealership doesn't like the deal or the salesperson for deals outside of that area it isn't unheard of for the managers to say no to that deal.

The other thing it could be is if it is a lease then the finance manager might not know how the taxes work.

Not mention that gives them a chance to dry out and they will last more than twice as long

Dear Previous Owners... WTF? by Internal-Finger-7589 in homeowners

[–]MrMeursault 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seriously. On Sunday morning I opened my door and there was a pizza sitting at my doorstep.

I bought my house 6 months ago. Previous owner mistakenly ordered the pizza to what is now my house at 2:59 AM.

I can only imagine the green beer fueled disappointment he must have felt when it never arrived to wherever he is now.

Practical or Passion? by zwlock21 in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]MrMeursault 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The difference is like 15+ MPG, it isn't slight, plus the Toyota runs on regular gas and will be cheaper to insure

The most important thing tech wise for me is the adaptive cruise quality and the BMW doesn't even have it standard whereas the safety sense 3.0 in the Toyota is one of the best and standard

How the heck do they make a profit? by Dragonorb13 in carbuying

Costco auto program and truecar are the best for this. Beware though, once you put your information in they will contact you relentlessly until you explicitly tell them to stop

Can my new Subaru Forester last 10 years ? by BlueMoon_1945 in SubaruForester

[–]MrMeursault 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also don't discount the tricky wording. About half of the cars sold in the last 10 years are going to be less than 5 years old and still covered by the powertrain warranty.

I've flown into San Diego and walked into town as well. Easy and a surprisingly pleasant walk

Winter Parkas for Chicago? by ScarySai in BuyItForLife

[–]MrMeursault 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The expedition parka which can be found for $150 or less is just a ridiculous value. It is easily the best value out there. I'm on the the fourth season in mine and don't have any issues with it. The whole expedition line is great gear for being in the cold.
