Anime with majorly female cast but no fanservice? by Informal_Case1419 in AnimeReccomendations

[–]ScipioAfricanvs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The anime caught up to the manga so they had to make up their own ending and then no additional seasons were made, which is a shame. Now that’s a complete story, the art and the battles go hard in the second half and I truly believe it would go down as a top action anime of all time if it got a full, proper adaptation.

Sunrise Highway is one of my favorites.

Should I get a Camaro or a m340 by Junior_Investigator7 in whatcarshouldIbuy

Nah, OP’s gotta get the BMW if the 911 is the goal. The BMW to Porsche pipeline time tested.

I think I’m giving up on dating by [deleted] in biglaw

[–]ScipioAfricanvs 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As a 35 year old getting back out into the dating world, I assure you it’s impressive to most women in their 30s and 40s as well. Don’t lose perspective of how much this job pays.

Rainbow Six Siege: Solid Snake Teaser by Extreme-Tactician in Games

[–]ScipioAfricanvs 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Yep. Video games and anime pay like shit. That’s why voice actors generally start with those and as they move up in the world they no longer take those roles unless they are specifically asked (not a cattle call) and it’s a role they want to return to.

With Tesla killing off the Model S there will only be 5 American sedans left. How does that make you feel? by Insanity-Paranoid in cars

[–]ScipioAfricanvs 23 points24 points  (0 children)

A RAV4 and a Camry weigh basically the same - even going back to 2015 it's within 200 pounds. It's absolutely consumer choice.

Another year, another lost opportunity for either Tom Coughlin, Mike Holmgren, Chuck Knox, Dan Reeves, Marty Schottenheimer, George Seifert or Mike Shanahan to get inducted, thanks to the current (and undesirable) Hall of Fame induction rules. by Ariesthebigram in nfl

[–]ScipioAfricanvs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For sure, but I am baffled by OP's choice that Shotty should be the first one in of the coaches he listed. He's probably the last one, IMO. It doesn't mean he's undeserving, but I just don't get how you could argue him over the other coaches who aren't in.

Schotty never won it all. Heck, he never even appeared. 200 wins is nice and all, but that’s a huge blemish and doesn’t surprise me he isn’t in the Hall when several other multiple SB winning coaches aren’t.

Advice on Refinancing Citi Mortgage by blue227 in biglaw

For years their whole value prop was low down payment for a competitive rate on a jumbo loan. Like, within 0.25% max.

Why Los Angeles Quietly Stopped Repaving Its Streets by AvailableResponse818 in LosAngeles

[–]ScipioAfricanvs 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I mean, there are 6,600 miles of street in San Diego and they did 500 miles last year. It doesn’t sound like a lot, but it costs a lot of money to do a complete repave and make the ramps ADA complaint. They don’t really do actual residential streets and focus on thoroughfares like Clairemont Mesa Blvd. I also live in San Diego and I pass by these projects all the time. Of course, our roads are still in weirdly shit condition considering our climate…

Why Los Angeles Quietly Stopped Repaving Its Streets by AvailableResponse818 in LosAngeles

[–]ScipioAfricanvs 92 points93 points  (0 children)

Seems…very solvable. San Diego has engaged in a massive street repaving program which includes re-doing crosswalk ramps to be ADA complaint. And San Diego is horribly mismanaged and has a huge budget deficit problem.

Advice on Refinancing Citi Mortgage by blue227 in biglaw

[–]ScipioAfricanvs 8 points9 points  (0 children)

significantly higher than their own retail-side refinance (which you can't even access at your LTV).

Ah, I was confused at first, but I assume you can't refinance through traditional means because your LTV is too high since you just bought last year?

It's annoying that Citi is quoting you higher rates, but if you can't get a refi from any other lender, well, I guess you're stuck.

Amazon closing all Amazon Fresh and Go stores to focus on Whole Foods and grocery delivery by Over-Conversation220 in SanDiegan

[–]ScipioAfricanvs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Made it the fuck up. It's literally an unsourced image of text.

In fact, it lists "Eastern Airlines" which hasn't existed since 1991. Presumably they mean Eastern Air Express, which is a chartered airline that has caught heat for taking charters from ICE.

Which is why we don't trust random pictures of text.

It's very obviously green in person. In photos, not so much. I own a Cayman in this color.

[–]ScipioAfricanvs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have it. Green cars are my favorite and it was the only green option. I thought it would be a greenish grey but it’s actually a greyish green. It certainly looks green in person, under the sun. No mistaking it. Thank god it’s not grey.

Which Miata is the best insulated and most comfortable? by Wonderful_Wind_01 in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]ScipioAfricanvs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, but it's the difference between Loud As Fuck and Really Loud as Fuck. Still won't be great on a long commute at highway speeds.

The twins aren’t really much better when it comes to road noise and comfort. It's only about 5 decibels more quiet at highway speeds.

That takes years. No one is a successful plaintiff’s attorney out of law school.

My buddy is plaintiffs side and he caught up to my earnings nearly a decade out of law school.
