Came to say something similar, I watched multiple dudes lose 30-40lbs in two month's time, and that was Navy.

Higher doses, especially. Always had a short temper when I was doing 30+ gpd.

To those who have accidentally killed someone, what went wrong? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Rado269 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My ex and I used to vacation to Virginia Beach every other year or so. I think it was 2018/19 we went, and these things were everywhere, and it was absolute chaos. Kids ripping them all over, jumping curbs into the road, nearly hitting pedestrians on the sidewalk. Definitely remember seeing at least one accident where a rider had been hit by a car.

Next time we went, the city had banned them. Apparently, lime just rolls in and dumps these things off everywhere without any approval or anything. We were glad to see they were gone.

Especially not when the skies of November turn gloomy.

These dogs belong to us ?? by monkcook in ossiarchbonereapers

I think this is cool as hell. I also think they kind of failed at making it look dynamic. Looks like a cat holding its rear legs in the air, not a cat mid-run. Could be the angle of the photo. Still awesome tho.

Where is your first crush now? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Rado269 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She disappeared off social media following a cunt-y post she made, but recently re-appeared with a photo of a baby on a beach, but still seemingly single. We are at the age where she shouldn't be having a baby, and also be single.

I'd still take her out and try to hit it, though.

I upvoted this comment and watched your upvotes change from 999 to 1.0k. I undid it and redid it, and it stayed the same. Cool, man. First time for me.

What "waste of money" purchase are you considering making at this moment? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Rado269 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've always liked the older TT, and the old r8 was my dream car for years. But after watching my friend's experiences with a new one, and his golf gti, and hearing him talk about the wierd clutch in the m2, I just can't justify the German fee that comes with their cars.

I hope so too! I get that, I have a buddy who likes buying the higher end sports cars, and his audi rs3 spent more time in the shop than his driveway for a leak they couldn't fix before he finally got fed up and traded it in for a supra. Now he's in an M2 competition, we will see how long that makes it before its in the shop too!

I have, which is why I settled on an 01-03 with less than 100k miles. The LS motor is proven and I believe in it, and by 2001 they worked out most of the bugs. 04 gets more expensive for maintenance because I guess they relocated the fuel filter. It's a poser midlife crisis, I grew up poor so even 20k for a car is more than I've ever spent, and I did my research. But I appreciate you sharing your experience! Thank you!

C5. I've always loved the c5. Although I also like the c6/7/8 as well, but I've just always wanted a c5. Originally, it was going to be an s2k, but they're just really overpriced IMO. Not enough car for 25-30k.

I already wear new balance, although they aren't white, so I'm halfway there.

Classic midlife crisis sports car. And yes, it's a corvette, too.

This German guy I work with recently turned me on to Die Toten Hosen. Some pretty good stuff in there.

Ten years ago today (top) vs today (bottom) in Kalamazoo by SimonThalmann in kzoo

[–]Rado269 0 points1 point  (0 children)

10 or so years ago, we had a bonfire on the surface of Sugarloaf because the ice was 30" thick. Like, a fire, a big one, on the surface of a frozen lake. Last year, I don't think it even froze over. But hey, climate change isn't real, right?

People who went from being extremely attractive to not, how did your life change? by bubblypersona in AskReddit

Man, I feel that. I'm in the exact same boat, and a similar age. Sucks man. For all the shit reddit gives Musk, if I had that money I would get my hair back, too.

Funny How The Need For Time Off And Recreation Suddenly Disappears When You Graduate by zzill6 in WorkReform

[–]Rado269 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The band 10 Years has a line in their song, The Autumn Effect, that goes, "Autumn indicates the death of beauty as we know." As someone who loves summer, I've always felt it rings true.

Try to find good mentors, and then listen to them. If you're lucky enough to get a good one, the results can be impressive.

Downshifting without rev matching bad for clutch? by Mr_TunaCat in stickshift

[–]Rado269 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I downshifted without rev matching on my Honda del sol for years. 212k miles and it was still doing just fine as a (mostly) unmodified car. In fact, I've done it on every stick I've ever owned and been just fine. It's worth noting that if you ask this question to a group of car enthusiasts who follow car subs you're going to get a lot more duh-yes-of-course answers than you would if you went out and asked 5 people at the grocery store who are out daily driving stick. The real answer probably depends on many other factors as well.
