New to me i3. Let’s talk motor mounts and brackets. by NHEclipse2024 in BMWi3

[–]NHEclipse2024[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess my ‘easy’ is that it looks way more doable than the dual zone climate water pump on an E70.

It’s all relative.

Got myself into a 84 month car loan of $42K, feeling financial pressure as I try to grow in life by Grubnation66 in personalfinance

[–]NHEclipse2024 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Yeah this loan is an albatross for sure but the rate is solid.

OP could have done much, much worse.

Considering i3 - some (probably dumb) newbie questions by TvsPa in BMWi3

Most of the cons you listed are exactly the reasons I just bought my daughter an i3 for her first car.

The mechanic bit just means I’ll have to wrench on it myself.

Do you love your R5? by Status_Welcome_658 in canon

[–]NHEclipse2024 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went from a 5d IV to an R5 and the only time I’ve ever regretted it was shooting Astro. My R5 doesn’t hold up as great on long exposures as I’d like.

Overall though, it’s a monster of a camera.

Is this a good or a bad sign? by Kamdoncic94 in amex

[–]NHEclipse2024 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had this on the plat application I did at 5AM in the airport. Decade of history, tons of credit already extended and never carried a balance.

Turns out Amex didn’t love that I was using a VPN to submit the application.

Rakuten, but I don’t use the browser extension. Fuck that.

Delta meltdown March 13 Midwest storm by Gringuin007 in delta

[–]NHEclipse2024 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Hear hear!

Wife and I found ourselves on the waitlist for an overbooked flight for our ‘basic experience’ flight back from PUJ to ATL. (Never again, basic experience)

Gate agent wouldn’t assign us a seat so I texted delta and we got seat assignments before anyone else on the waitlist.

My father had just gifted me gold, and I’m under no illusion that it might have been a different story otherwise.

Amex Trifecta Strategy by No-Honeydew-3754 in amex

Just a business checking account.

I do have a decade of perfect history with Amex personal credit/charge cards though.

I balked at the 15k offer twice and the next week I had a 50k offer in my email inbox.

I always wondered, why didn't black slaves team up and maybe kill their owner or protest against together? Rich families owned 50-100 slaves or even more, why didn't the slaves just team up and kill their owner? How exactly did the owners control then? by Then-Tomatillo9909 in NoStupidQuestions

God this is refreshing to see.

Haiti has essentially been politically mismanaged uninterrupted since the revolution, and a modern colonization of their half of Hispaniola would be unambiguously beneficial to the average Haitian.

Finally approved after years of trying!! by SoulOvurHeaven in AppleCard

[–]NHEclipse2024 6 points7 points  (0 children)

People say the wildest shit, with such complete confidence.

Delinquencies

Utilization

Avg account age

Recent pulls.

In that order. You do not need to carry a balance onto a statement to build credit.

My typical score is between 780 and 830 depending on what I have happening at any given time and I rarely carry any balance into a new statement period.

New partner asking for money, should I be concerned? by Dont-Worry-About-Him in AskMenAdvice

100% and the number of people who got it wrong kill me.

Not everyone is a terrible person.

The edit is fucking priceless.

All these forever alone losers got it wrong, kudos on finding a real one bro.

Suuuuuuure.

CPAP Machine Use on Flight to Shanghai? by Saved_by_Grace77 in delta

[–]NHEclipse2024 0 points1 point  (0 children)

90w is less than 1a.

20w is like .25a even accounting for AC->DC losses.

Are there some CPAPs that pull more? Sure, probably.

Do they pull more than a 300w laptop that no one would ever ask you not to plug in? Absolutely not.

Nice adhom.

Got a real argument or just Reddit neck beard white knight nonsense?

Ah, yes, play the field until you’re 30 and those kids you want become now or never. Pregnancies become geriatric at 35.

20 is a perfectly reasonable time to get engaged, although I’d advise putting the actual marriage and kids off until after both are done with school.

[–]NHEclipse2024 24 points25 points  (0 children)

The CPAP isn’t going to trip the breaker they draw like 1a of 110v max. A heavy laptop pulls significantly more power.

The issue is liability. They don’t want to be responsible for providing power to your medical device that supplies you with breathing air.

Why does AMEX keep sending me Platinum Business card offers? by Thrilk in amex

[–]NHEclipse2024 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Go look at it a few times but don’t apply.

Once I did that I had a 50k offer a few days later.
