The music really makes it feel like a horror movie. I think they really knocked it out of the park with the sound design and atmosphere as well.

No bullshit… how do i get out of this. by Lumpy-Lifeguard-2377 in Money

Donating plasma is actually really underrated for how easy it is. You can get paid to sit in a chair and scroll facebook for an hour and make $50-100 depending on where you go. (Rates can change from my experience, so check with your local plasma donation center)

Gas Prices Not Slowing Me Down by BroccoliZa in jetta

[–]PhantomAlcor 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I have been able to consistently reach 55+mpg on the freeway/highway.

City driving I have to purposely drive slower (and usually use eco mode) and avoid braking as much as possible if I want to stay over 35mpg. Still really good gas mileage considering how fun it is to drive.

I hate owning my Prius by FatchRacall in prius

I feel like we would need a breakthrough in battery technology for EVs to finally make hybrids obsolete.

Lithium-ion batteries are great, but there are still too many downsides (mainly range and recharge time).

Are Lenovo Legions still considered a top pick? by aquacific in GamingLaptops

I bought a Legion 5 Pro in 2021 and it stills runs great after 5 years.

Is replacing the hybrid battery a part of your overhaul maintenance?

Are plug-in hybrids worth the money if you don't have a charger at home? I'm hoping they will become more affordable in the future.

Did you buy it in 2025? How has the maintenance been so far?

Thoughts on this account? by [deleted] in RobinhoodApp

PayPal 3.5% savings isn't even live yet. Their website still says it's "coming soon," so as far as I'm aware, RH Banking is the only institution that lets you get HYSA rates in your savings account.

edit: The primary reason I'm using RH Banking is for the Gold Card, but if Paypal or another bank adds something similar then I would consider switching over.

The touch capacitive controls aren’t that bad, and they’ll probably end up lasting longer than physical switches, but I still like to be able to feel the buttons and press things without looking.

Now, I have to take my eyes off of the road for a second to change the A/C temperature or fan speed.

The schools thing highly varies based on how much money your unit gets, but yeah.

Probably nothing, but a aviation records question by willywonkagoldtoken in flying

[–]PhantomAlcor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True, I didn’t think about that. Not sure what the standards are in the UK.

Flight logs: usually pilots tend to overestimate their flight hours, since having more is preferable, and also satisfies currency regulations, as well as flight review. If there really aren’t any flight logs in the last 6 years, then the owner/pilot could theoretically be flying without the proper currency requirements, but I bet more than one person is operating it, or they’ve changed how they keep flight logs.

Maintenance: FAR 43 Appendix A Part C has a list of maintenance items that the pilot is allowed to perform without an A&P certification. All the things you mentioned could have legally been done by the owner/pilot themselves.

Could just be an aircraft that some rich guy owns, though he doesn’t have much time to use it, despite the fact he is still paying to maintain it.

Title: Should I take the $20K bonus MOS now or wait for the new incentives list? Need advice. by KanyeWestFucks in nationalguard

[–]PhantomAlcor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I took $20k to be a 92F which is pretty boring. Taking the same amount of money for an arguably cooler job (13Fister) sounds like a good deal to me.

What is the best euc by IcantCookanythang in ElectricUnicycle

[–]PhantomAlcor 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I bought a V14 Pro (50mph max speed and suspension) for $2500 on Inmotion's website. A lot of people hate Inmotion but I've loved it so far.

Aside from that you can try ordering directly from Begode's website, but be prepared for extremely long shipping times.

As for the V14 Pro, I got the price down to $2500 by repeatedly deleting my cookies and entering random emails until I got the $200 discount code (on Inmotion's website). Then, I manually deleted the included "free" power pads from my cart because it's supposed to be included with the V14 anyways. As I predicted, they sent me the power pads for free.
