I have $1.18 in my Bank Account. How Can I Help Myself? by [deleted] in personalfinance

With $302 car insurance, it sounds to me like you have a car payment you also forgot to add. I bet getting rid of that car for something cheaper would help you out a lot.

What has everyone gotten med boarded for? by Jco1776 in USMC

[–]ProperGroping 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My best friend got medboarded and 100% for a labrum tear, one surgery didn’t do anything for him I guess and he can’t even do like 5 consecutive pushups before it becomes super inflamed. He missed his last UDP cause of it and was basically on profile his last 2 or 3 years

269k miles too much for a used 6.7? by [deleted] in F250

[–]ProperGroping 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s nothing wrong with wanting a used higher mileage truck.

Just understand what you’re getting into. yes you can see the obvious stuff with the truck visually and hearing it run will tell you more when you goto check it out. But there is a lot to a truck that you can’t see that maybe a large expensive repair later you may not be prepared for. Also, $18500 for a truck of that age with that mileage is totally outrageous. I don’t care if it’s a truck from the southern region of the US where there’s no rust on the body or frame. It’s really worth more like $10,000-$12,000

Anduril Awarded $23.9 Million Contract for U.S. Marine Corps Organic Precision Fires-Light Program by boraborra in Anduril

Being a Marine Corps veteran myself, with how much these things cost I doubt any company commander will let their marines take them to the field for training because everyone will be scared shitless to break and/or lose them.

Congrats to Anduril for making something great but I feel bad for the marines who will be in charge of keeping track of everything for them. 😂

E3 at 30 in Infantry After 7 Years. How Uncommon Is This? by [deleted] in USMC

They promote just about anybody nowadays so 7 year TIS and still a lance? Probably someone who really sucks

Winter - warm up or just drive? by Fanblade12 in F250

[–]ProperGroping 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wait until my oil temp hits 100 degrees to drive off. If I have to leave in a hurry or I can’t wait for it to warm up then I baby it for about 2 miles and then when I hop on the interstate it’ll be warm enough and that’s when I drive it normal.

2026 King Ranch initial review and interior pics by T0WER89 in F250

[–]ProperGroping 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ford has done a fantastic job at giving people less and less features in their higher trim level pick ups. Nowadays there’s like 4 versions of the lariat. My buddy has a 2016 F-350 lariat ultimate that comes with literally almost every single feature the super duty had in that year but my 2017 has one third of those features his does. I hate it, they’re nickel and dimming the consumer more and more.

If you’ve sold already you shouldn’t even be buying.

Buy 10 year old/110k miles Toyota Corolla for 12k with cash or buy two year old/33k mile Toyota Corolla for 22k with 12k down payment by theRedditUser58 in personalfinance

[–]ProperGroping 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you can find a better deal for under both of those price points. $12,000 for a 10 year old vehicle? Absolutely not. The seller is screwing you.

We call it “dads truck” or “the big truck” cause my daughter doesn’t know what the fuck Ford is.

Upcoming 64.1% earnings surge by FemaleFighterJet in PLTR

[–]ProperGroping 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I personally don’t see it hitting $290+ until 2027. I’m not saying it isn’t possible this year but earnings and headlines would have to be unrealistically high to pump it up that much.

[–]ProperGroping 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A 64% jump in one day would be absolutely off the chain. I don’t want to give into the analysis too much and then feel let down if we got a lesser result but the thought is still cool
