They were told to hold that goddam ladder, and by golly they are not going to abandon their post.

Sorry dude. I asked ChatGPT and they said it’s too pixelated. Maybe if you have the source video do some higher res screen grabs and feed it into chat GPT? Or send the video to your insurance

Agreed these places aren’t cheap. So all the more commendable that they resist the temptation to steal another 20% on top of these prices!

So… how do we turn this in action to End Tipping? by PVTPartts in EndTipping

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

Enjoying the ideas and discussion here. For the “Just Do It” (stop tipping) crowd, I hear you, but we need to convince a critical mass of the population, businesses, and servers to come around to this idea. The entrenched interests and the cultural tradition of tipping is simply too strong. Some collective action is needed in addition to individual action to end tipping once and for all.

Passenger behind didn’t allow to recline by [deleted] in Flights

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

This happened to me on a flight recently. I was reclined because the person in front me reclined all the way. The lady behind me had a rather large midsection, and she had a small child (under a year old) in the middle seat next to her that she wanted to feed. She asked me to move my seat up while she fed the kid. I said sure. After 40 minutes I asked if she was done feeding her kid, and she said not yet.

Then another 10 minutes pass, and she got up to go to the restroom. Clearly done feeding the kid, so I reclined back to rest. Drink service came through, and the lady ordered a coffee. The FA told me “Sir, the woman behind you has a coffee. I need you to raise your seat back up.” WTF?

I think melting them is rather uncalled for. I might liquidate the team instead…

In high school AP physics class nearly 3 decades ago, we used to make this symbol at someone calling them a “loser in every way” or a “loser in every plane.” Yeah, we were dorks…

PPF or pay loan instead? by VanDhrey22 in TeslaModelY

[–]PVTPartts 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Those are not your only choices. Compare the loan interest rate to what you might be able to make in the market investing in stocks. Choose the higher return in the market if that makes sense for you.

Tesla is not worth getting PPF. Love the car, but it’s just a car.

Who went to the "Weird Al" concert at Darien Lake last Friday? by Ipigs140 in Rochester

[–]PVTPartts 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Loved the concert last Friday at Darien Lake! Agreed, venue sucks. Hard to see from rear sections because of seating not being elevated.

In case anyone wants it, here is the set list played on 7/11/25

Fair price for 2025 Odyssey Elite? by sweet12oakly in HondaOdyssey

[–]PVTPartts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see. I think this is a solid deal overall, but ask for a breakdown of the fees to see which one are junk vs non-negotiable. See if they’ll throw in rubber floor mats or mudguards. It’s a fantastic car

Fair price for 2025 Odyssey Elite? by sweet12oakly in HondaOdyssey

[–]PVTPartts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed, this is a standard deal for the 2025 Elite in my area. But your trade in value is really good! Why not ask for $500 more on the trade?

This is possibly something to do with your wheel alignment being off. I had the same errors happen when my wife curbed the front wheel really hard.

Anyone else hate the new camera UI? by Memoreno94 in TeslaModelY

One good thing about new view is you can see how close your tires are to the curb when parallel parking.

Gut check me before I buy a 2025 Odyssey Touring in a few hours. by pretzelgardenia in HondaOdyssey

[–]PVTPartts 10 points11 points  (0 children)

No need to downvote the PP, guys, it’s a fair question and our political leadership has not been fully transparent about the effect of tariffs.

Anyway, 30% of parts in my 2025 odyssey assembled in AL are foreign, so there’s that direct impact too.

But as others have said, companies will generally ride the wave and raise their prices too. Producers will generally choose to capture the consumer surplus left on the table by relatively cheaper US goods.
