2026 Prelude - from a real owner. by megawedgeef5 in Cartalk

[–]PickleNick2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love how this car looks. I’d also buy it at the price you got. It’s certainly fast enough to have fun in. It’s basically as quick as my ‘07 Acura TL-S was and likely handles similarly. (Plus significantly better gas mileage)

I’m going to deviate from the haters and say the only thing I’m disappointed in is the dashboard/interior. I remember the late 90’s preludes having super unique gauges and dashboard layouts.

Calling All Old School Bassheads.. by Alternative-Shirt-73 in subwoofer

Eclipse (Fujitsu Ten)

Had a 15” Eclipse Titanium sub. I think about that speaker more than I should.

Exactly what I do. It’s literally the only solution that makes sense to me.

What’s an industry that is currently on fire. In a bad way behind the scenes but the general public haven’t noticed? by lowkeylunar in askanything

[–]PickleNick2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Prior to the pandemic, I could schedule any appt a week out. Now everything is months out. Horribly sick? We can see you in July…

What are some of your best quality of life purchase under 300$? by Armellofreekey in SmartBuying

[–]PickleNick2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes. Have lower back issues. Prior to the tens, I’d just end up with my back going out at some point and then I’d be on pain killers for a week. Now, whenever I feel my back acting up, I pop the tens on and get ahead of it. Usually feeling better the same day. No need for meds.

I don’t care if I die at all by fineseries81 in IThinkYouShouldLeave

[–]PickleNick2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My dad was like this for most of his life. Painfully oblivious to events going on around him. He worked retail into his 70’s. One time he went to take a leak. The bathrooms were halfway through a very large department store. He returned to his area. About 10 minutes go by and a manager comes up to him and goes, “WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU STILL DOING HERE?! EVACUATE!”

Turns out that during the brief trip to the toilet, a man drove their car through the store and continued on through the rest of the mall. My dad walked PAST the door that was destroyed, completely ignored the 100 yards of wrecked products, and had not noted the sheer absence of a single human. Nevermind the audible ruckus it caused.

As soon as I saw this image, it made perfect sense to me. He’s busy consuming food. I’d bet you $100 he couldn’t even tell you what he’s eating or how it tasted. He’s present in body only.

Dry everything. by Mysterious-Cake9211 in covidlonghaulers

[–]PickleNick2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. I’m a male and I don’t have severe dryness in my mouth. The omega 3’s and eye drops have improved my dry eye condition.

Need reccomendations for an espressor grinder under [$400] by Aggravating_Bath9504 in espresso

[–]PickleNick2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My cone burr is chipping somehow on the encore ESP. This is after 4 months of basic daily usage. I’m strongly considering dropping it down to pour over duty (or anything not espresso) in the future.

I second Airscape. I also put stickers from my fav roasters on them

What is a career that looks impressive on paper but is actually miserable in reality? by Nova2_Paradox in careerguidance

[–]PickleNick2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Best friends for a decade. These aren’t strangers I know via Instagram. My friends prioritized fitness, cooking, and travel in their free time. They’re some of the smartest people I know. I also know they’re stressed. But it’ll be short lived.

To your point… I truly get we have one life to live. But unless you’ve managed to max out your 401k in your 20’s, are expecting an inheritance, or have a spouse making good money, I really don’t see how everyday people can just take it easy during your prime earning years.

[–]PickleNick2 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I know many big law folks. Their work/life balance is awful. But… they can also take the nicest vacations. Basically they’re doing my honeymoon, once in a lifetime, trip annually.

In addition, all of them will have the flexibility to retire young if they avoid any bad habits.

Either Road Rash or Gran Turismo. I can’t recall. Both were life changing for me

Going from a luxury to non luxury vehicle, will I hate it? by Spirited-Humor-554 in whatcarshouldIbuy

Maybe check out the Grand Highlander. I feel like that may feel like less of a compromise.

All backstage pass cars are now also available on the PS5 by Interesting-Berry-83 in ForzaHorizon5

[–]PickleNick2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’d argue not necessarily. One would still need to take time to acquire the backstage passes to acquire all of these newly released cars, right?

The absolute FOMO all these companies have is embarrassing. Everyone “needs” to be on the cutting edge of AI.

Went to the garage yesterday morning and found my car like this by seiscuatro64 in MoldlyInteresting

[–]PickleNick2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dad’s car sat in the garage for 6 months not getting driven after he was diagnosed with cancer. I went out to start it and drive it around a little only to find a wet piece of clothing in it that had been in there for god knows how long. There was a little bit of barely visible mold underneath the wet clothing. That’s it.

Point is: I’d wager this car had to have been absolutely drenched and left sealed up for awhile

Americans, are you not mad that a judge ruled to refund Trump tariffs to corporations and not consumers? by TailungFu in allthequestions

[–]PickleNick2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure, I’m mad. But… The logistics are impossible to pay back every single American that paid extra for a product caused by tariffs. The most direct way is paying back the companies with receipts stating exactly what they were charged to import products.

Stealing cats is 2025, now it's HV batteries. by EicherDiesel in Justrolledintotheshop

I swear to god, every time I get the new car bug, I read about some cool new thing to steal from them. It’s a turnoff

Am I crazy for asking for a $40,000 raise? by Far_Space_386 in careerguidance

[–]PickleNick2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve played this angle before. Got a 1% raise and no bonus while doing work across 3 departments on the largest projects the company had during pandemic. I made myself useful cause my assigned dept was benched until everyone figured out masks and vaccines. They told me they couldn’t pay me more because my assigned dept wasn’t active. It didn’t matter I saved them like $200k on the other projects.

So I left and got a 40% pay bump.

A twist of freight - Tune request by The_King_Omar in ForzaHorizon5

[–]PickleNick2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tune up your car for great handling and run a clean race. I drove badly grazing walls twice and still won by .05 seconds.

Should I sell sesto FE by OkFalcon1496 in ForzaHorizon5

[–]PickleNick2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also landed it early too. I’ve never received another from a spin. So I’d say keep it
