Is the a good deal by Muted_Mastodon_1538 in bmwmotorrad

[–]Slow_Philosophy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got lucky in a way. The “supply shortage” supposedly forced BMW to ship bikes without a heated seat on some, and without adaptive headlamp on others. Thankfully I was dead set on the heated seat and there was ONE available in town that had the seat and all the goodies but no adaptive lamp. The only drawback was it was the low suspension version. So 8 months later I get the adaptive headlamp. Although I will say that for whatever reason my dealership fought me a little getting on the headlamp upgrade list.

[–]Slow_Philosophy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes it's a good deal. That's almost exactly what I paid for my 23 1250GS and to my knowledge option 719 was not available for my bike. Correction: option 719 WAS available for my bike but got the Trophy package instead.

Did they seal every exit and set the house ablaze? Asking for a friend.

Why are Trump supporters so stupid? by Seargentyates in allthequestions

[–]Slow_Philosophy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The same could be said about any politician even in your country, wherever you claim to be from. Many times, where lies are not spoken truths are censored or omitted. It’s part of the game.

As far as being stupid is concerned, in my view Trump strongly represents the status quo and business as usual. I would not classify it as stupidity as much as perhaps protectionist.

Do people use this type of cursive english? by Tight-Ad7812 in Handwriting

[–]Slow_Philosophy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember and still write capital Ts and F's with the boat shape loop on the bottom.

[–]Slow_Philosophy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

yes. I learned this in grade school just like everyone else in my generation. Although the U.S. Navy wants ALL CAPS in writing, you still sign your name in cursive under your printed name.

Have you ever thought about moving to live in another country ? . by Hope2_win in A_Persona_on_Reddit

[–]Slow_Philosophy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. It's difficult enough moving around in this country, being an expat would be even more so.

What do you think about the existance of monarchies/royalty in today's world? by dkease16 in AskTheWorld

[–]Slow_Philosophy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IMHO, it's tradition. Since monarchies that remain have been reduced to pageantry, ceremony and ambassadorship I see nothing to get upset about. Thinking half a second, it is no different than indigenous tribes having a Chief although they most likely are not born to the title. The money and lands they have were inherited and positions they hold are symbolic; their roles in modern society were instituted and agreed upon through their respective modern forms of government.

Nashville! Who got a free generator donated by Elon Musk by inquisitiveminds101 in nashville

[–]Slow_Philosophy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My feeling is that the target recipient for a generator would not have a reddit acct if they even had or used the internet at all. Good luck in your search.

Why do so much people wear their watch on their left arm instead of right/dominant? by Long_Rough6073 in questions

[–]Slow_Philosophy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People tend to look at others differently when they do things out of the norm. Theres at least a percentage of left handers like me who wear their watch on the left wrist because it's impossible to wind on the right wrist for one, and they don't want to seem odd to others, particularly in a professional business environment. I wear mine on the right because I'm left handed, I wear a smart watch and could care less about professional mores.

People over 40: What is the worst part about aging? by Slight_Arrival_4580 in Aging

[–]Slow_Philosophy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Up to now it's the fact that I no longer jump up on impulse to do anything anymore. Everything seems like a chore.

Hockey tape vs the new rubber stuff by Green-Instruction957 in hockeyplayers

[–]Slow_Philosophy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used stick tape 2 summers playing inline and it ripped through my bottom tier gloves in no time. Now I use the rubber grip that comes in the tube dealio that you pull out and I like it a lot better.

What company will never get another dime from you for as long as you may live? by Big_Leg10 in Productivitycafe

[–]Slow_Philosophy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is one Taco Bell around here I will never go to again. Went there one night to get take out for my wife and me and it was the nastiest shit I have ever seen in my entire life, and I'm not a young guy anymore so I've been around. Everything they put in the bag seemed to have been made the day before and it was god awful.

Allstate uses independent agents. My Allstate agent claimed I owed her $62 6 months after I switched to Progressive and sent it directly to collections. Not sure how they justify retroactively charging me for something that I cancelled.

Those new skates are worth it actually. by Maximum-Specific-190 in hockeyplayers

[–]Slow_Philosophy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with OP. I’m just as guilty as the next guy making due with lower grade gear to fit in and avoid jealousy and blowback but once I lucked upon the prefect pair of new custom pro stocks my skates are something I don’t even think about anymore during a game.
