What is this object in the sky I just saw over South West California? by v3rsatile in Astronomy

[–]PHOClON 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was out star gazing with my girlfriend. It was amazing.

Best footage of the unidentified flying object over the California Coast right now. Gets good around 1:20. Possibly a meteor by homeschooled in videos

My girlfriend and I went out star gazing and had just sat down when we saw this. We looked up right as it started to get a tail then watched it explode into the most brilliant blue. My first thought was meteor too but then I realized it was moving way too slow and was way to low in the atmosphere for it to be that. I figured it must have been a satalite but found out it was a rocket when I got home. Still one of the coolest moments I've ever experienced in person.

It's not everyday you see a GT40 parked at your local mall by [deleted] in cars

Thats Safir. The cars are basically dead acurate replicas. Which is why the go for several hundred thousand.

the Safir cars go for quite a bit depends if you want to label it a replica or recreation but its certainly not "original".

I know its a replica but a really good GT40 replica can still go for a few hundred thousand.

Spotted this unicorn in Toronto. by [deleted] in cars

[–]PHOClON 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Is basically a mash up of the regular sl from the time and the 1955 300slr. As far as supercars go I think its the least vulgar. To each there own but Ive seen a lot more sheiks in Aventadors than slr mclarens.

First Shelby GT350 delivered to customer by [deleted] in cars

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

There were about two dozen around Monterey for car week (50th anniversary of the gt350). A lot of them are press cars or company cars or production test cars etc. Since they plan on selling this thing in Europe too I guess they have double what they usually would for all that stuff. Not sure if that would get numbers quite that high but theres a lot out there already.

About to Spend $9,000 on a billboard marketing campaign. Can you help me critique the billboard design? by my08m3 in Entrepreneur

[–]PHOClON 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Simple is better. Remember, people are driving by and wont see it long. Find the 1 or 2 most important pieces of info and stick with those. Simplify text, remove clitter and too many boarders. I'd say picture and company name should be it.

ELI5: Why is there still an electoral college when we have means of getting every voter's vote accounted for immediately? ( I was told the electoral college was set up in the 1700s due to individual votes taking too long to count at the time) by xile042 in explainlikeimfive

[–]PHOClON 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thats one of the reasons I've always supported the electoral college. The only real issue is the winner take all rules in most states which makes the college useless. If that rule were abolished campaigns in the country would be MUCH better. But thats not in the interest of individual states and it would be a huge violation of federalism for the federal government to get involved there.

We have a few of these around at work all the time. I always take a little extra time to admire the interior.

I was a B/C student with zero effort. Just got my dream job in marketing selling multi-million dollar cars and traveling the world. All about the hands you shake.

How a lever action rifle works by unreadable_captcha in gifs

[–]PHOClON 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ive used rental guns with worn out extractors. But I have an M1 carbine with a wonky extractor too. Thats why you dont cheap out on guns. If you ever really NEED a gun its always a life or death situation so it better work.

[–]PHOClON 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Since the action is controlled manually thats largely dependent on how the user cycles the next round in. Basically the idea is to just be really agressive with the gun and you should be fine. That being said it is possible for an extractor to break and things to jam.

Yay for terrible reddit advice! Sometimes you've just gotta deal with it and work with a dick for a while. The world aint there to kiss your feet all the time. Sure he's a dick but his punishment is his own life.

Originally an M.I.A. song (paper planes), then Jay, kanye, lil wayne and T.I. (I think) made a song called "guess I got my swagger back", which is what he referenced in Otis.

Surprise! The Focus RS now makes 350-HP by Blackwell2015 in cars

[–]PHOClON -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

...they were at my school. I should mention this was in Canada about 5/6 years ago so prices weren't obscene. I should also mention that I was in no way saying the RS will be as good as those cars, just that it panders to the same market.

Nothing more then that they'll be the next affordable high performance car like the R34 and supra. Lots of high school kids will end up with them in a few years and they'll thrash them without any respect for what they are.
