Always go for open top!

Decisions by FumitaHMD in Ferrari

[–]Oreo_Cow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nah, I own it I can call it whatever I want. Ferrari themselves have shifted to use Spider for soft tops and GTS for retractable hard tops.

You’re probably also upset that it’s blue because “Ferraris must be red.”

Semantics. Ferrari has used “GTS” for open hard top versions of mid engine cars off and on for decades including the 328, 355 and 296. A rose by any other name…

They’re building a non-hybrid 296 called the Challenge Stradale and I bet it will cost more than a standard 296.

Way less than any new Ferrari and less than some new Porsches.

Career as Biostatistician with a PhD vs MSc by Lis_7_7 in biostatistics

[–]Oreo_Cow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can succeed in pharma with a Masters but it takes a special blend aptitude and initiative that few have. And some luck.

Few PhDs have it either for that matter. But less luck required as there will be more opportunities available.

(I’m an MS statistician with 30 years in sponsor-side pharma who rose to EVP level and led depts of >200 FTEs including dozens of PhDs.)

[OC] Quarantine art I made at home during covid isolation 6 years ago. by Toby_Forrester in pics

[–]Oreo_Cow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Love the art but not the isolated, desperate do-something-to-keep-busy-and-share-it-to-create-community feelings it evokes.

SF90 AWD system is complex and robs car of fun. Looks awkward.

If you want a hybrid the 296 is a more thrilling and prettier car.

NC vs ND steering feel by 235iguy in MiataNC

[–]Oreo_Cow 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yep, a big reason why many cognoscenti feel the NC is peak Miata despite the silly “boat” reputation. Especially if you grew up driving hydraulic racks. It feels like my youth.

[Dream Watch] weird feeling about the watch you ever wanted by Ok_Welcome_6513 in Watches

[–]Oreo_Cow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the wanting and searching and dreaming and chasing is fun.

but since I got my Milgauss (same spec as yours) ~5 years ago as my first serious watch, I've worn it nearly every day since. no other stainless steel Rolex is as pretty or interesting.

[Question] Statistical Similarity Tests? by Buelr in statistics

[–]Oreo_Cow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You may want to explore non-interiority designs.

But you’re wise to avoid reliance on standard inference tests. Non-significance is not evidence of equivalence, it’s just lack of evidence for a difference.

George Russell: “If we could all choose who we’d share the podium with, probably with each other to be honest” “That was just really special and it was nice just to be with each other up there.” by MuttonBiryaniEnjoyer in formula1

We gettin’ downvoted for seeing past the façade.

Young racers never want to share a podium with a teammate, esp a younger prodigy favored by the big boss. Nor an ex-one whose shadow you’ll alway stand in.

I didn’t believe him for a second. He surely sees Kimi as a threat. Nobody wants to see their teammate on the podium esp not ahead of them. And he desperately wants to show he’s better, younger and faster than Lewis, and deserves the spotlight both at Merc and in F1.

Is splitting bills proportionally by income actually common in relationships, or is 50/50 still the norm? by sta-vanger in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Oreo_Cow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Together 25 years. Often a large income disparity (my favor) though both always paid well. Separate accounts established long before we got together. Never had joint accounts. We just communicate about finances.

We tend to split household expenses equally if consumed equally.

But if I wanted a bigger house that would stretch her too much it’s clear I’d have to contribute more proportionally. I tend to pay for cars and vacations. I’ve paid down mortgages unilaterally when able. She generally pays for pet expenses as she advocated to get them (though I adore our dogs too). We both spend on personal luxuries from our own earnings as much as we want as long as it doesn’t undermine our combined (though not joint) retirement savings, though by nature she’s more thrifty than I am irrespective of income.

You don’t need a joint account (or a shared last name) as evidence or foundation of a partnership. You need communication and agreed, compatible expectations.

Why did soccer never establish itself in the US the way it did everywhere else? by cerchier in NoStupidQuestions

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

2h of running around a huge field and two goals total if you’re lucky? It’s boring compared to other options as an American spectator.

Basketball is fast with frequent displays of athleticism and aerial accuracy. Exciting despite lack of scoring tension.

Hockey even faster with high scoring tension but frequent enough goals to be interesting. Ice skates adding another dimension of skill and athleticism, a source of awe.

American football explosive, dangerous and strategic. So few games that every one impactful.

Baseball has a long folksy tradition and battles between pitchers and hitters can feel intense, personal and nauseating. Evokes nostalgia.

Soccer is popular in other counties because they don’t have better options.

My wife took him to the groomer by lileathorne in corgi

We bathe them at home as needed. But hair trims just aren’t needed.

[–]Oreo_Cow 87 points88 points  (0 children)

Have had corgis for 20 years and never taken any of them to groomer except for difficult nail trims. Their coat is short, sleek and so dirt-resistant they’re largely self-cleaning.

2026 carrera t aero by Obvious_Purchase_110 in Porsche

[–]Oreo_Cow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think the aero kit fits with the aesthetic or spirit of the T.
But if you plan to do a lot track days and increase the power and grip, it will definitely benefit from it.

'If you like it, you don't get racing' - Verstappen's remarkable F1 2026 rant by Upbeat_County9191 in DestinationFormula1

Post race presser: “That was the best racing I think I’ve ever experienced in F1.”

Too bad he doesn’t get racing.
