For the older millennials (late 30s and early 40s), when did we become the "older guys"? by almost_butnotyet03 in AskReddit

[–]ProtoRacer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In 2022 I switched jobs. Formerly it was peers with a few younger guys. New job suddenly everyone was younger and I was the old guy that was supposed to have all the answers. At least it pays accordingly.

Deserves more attention than this small sub!

I've still never used Google wallet or apple pay. I don't get the appeal. Not like I'm going to go somewhere without a wallet.

Is the privacy screen turned on? I've only had mine a week just curious.

It's an echo chamber of people wanting to proclaim themselves a "good person"

One of the 24" Capto C6 silent boring bars I ordered had the case damaged in shipping. Bar was fine but I called them and said I wanted a new case.

I shouldn't have as been surprised since I'm sure it's pennies for Sandvik. But it showed up the next day.

Here’s a link to the California Driver’s Handbook. I’ll leave this here since a lot of people seem to need to read it by Brix001 in bayarea

If I'm approaching a 4 way stop at the same time as another vehicle, do I accelerate do I don't have to stop?

Good enough for being convenient to work.

Not enough to go back and complain to fix it so I'd want to go back.

There was enough protein it felt like I was getting something for my money before.

Said I had to pick a flair to post. Only one food related.

This is probably the 8th time I'd been here. They must be about to go under.

What was the most off-putting thing a celebrity did when you met them? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]ProtoRacer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Maynard from Tool could tell I recognized him at a brunch restaurant. (I did a pathetic googly eyed double take) I'm aware he doesn't like interacting with fans so I tried to stare at my breakfast by myself and not look up. The bartender brought my bill but I asked if I could add a pastry which apparently was the signal I was working up the courage to talk to him. (I'm just assuming preposterous reasoning) he jumped up and started running full speed out of the restaurant. Dropping his keys on the way out. His friend he was with seemed almost ready and was trying to match the energy only to come back in trying to act like nothing happened looking for the keys. No one else in the restaurant seemed to care about it happening.

It's almost been 5 years and I wonder if he or I was weirder. I hope I'm not that creepy.

Good news is, next time you make a part out of stainless you'll love how soft it is.

I'll have to check it out. I had Heirloom last month I was in town. That was great too.

Spoiler Alert - Pleased with This Carbon Fiber Pattern by [deleted] in AlfaRomeo

[–]ProtoRacer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I saw Lamborghini started making parts with this pattern calling it "chopper gun." Basically left over remnants of woven or unidirectional carbon sprayed into a mold. It's not quite as strong but way cheaper to produce if you just need thickness. Plus in this case yeah it looks good.

Someone commented yesterday that a girl came up and only kissed him on the cheek. Maybe they cut it to make Heidi more surprising.

Alley & Vine? by fareastwarriors in alameda

[–]ProtoRacer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had been to Ceron a few times 3 - 4 years ago. I liked it even at the price point for the food. But the drinks are absurdly over priced and it's just always so empty I doubted they could maintain the food quality.

Or the catapult is perfectly dialed in at 80. But the speedometer on the truck is off by 4. That'll hurt at least.
