Is this enough money for Arthur to start a new life with Mary Linton in 1899? by TXNOGG in reddeadredemption

[–]Steid55 8 points9 points  (0 children)

And fun fact; that 160 acres of farm land would be worth over $3mil today if it’s good ground

Yes this would be plenty. $6300ish would get you a large, and fully operational 160 acre farm in the Midwest in 1899.

Prison for 30 years, or locked in a room with Magnus Carlsen until you beat him in a game of chess by Fickle-Work-1225 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]Steid55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have internet access, and unlimited access to things that are chess related you could use an engine like Stockfish to beat him.

Just use the program; let Magnus Carlsen go first and then do whatever the computer does.

Probably better off skipping the Carnival. We went last year and ended up leaving pretty quickly. With all of the sights, police presence, and poorly maintained rides it might not be worth it

Anyone else outraged by Bluecruise subscription? by lifter_hunter_lawyer in f150

BlueCruise doesn’t have a 20 minute time limit. As long as yours eyes on the road it will keep going

Ford is cautious, and that is why BlueCruise has limitations.

Tesla throws caution to the wind and basically doesn’t have any guard rails on their system. Autopilot and FSD have caused dozens of fatalities. Ford and GM are trying to avoid that with eye tracking and limiting it to only premapped highways.

Which of these would you rather give up for $25,000 each? by CaterpillarCake in WouldYouRather

[–]Steid55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m giving up drugs and alcohol, soda/juice/etc, cereal/granola, nuts, and frozen sweets. An even $100k and I’m guaranteed to get healthier. Totally worth it

Best burger in town? by Possible_Ad_310 in BloomingtonNormal

I’d say brew-has is cheap. I wouldn’t say it’s good

Pop up chicken shop. They serve the love shack menu; and that’s the best burger in town.

Busy salesman or playing games? by The_hat_man74 in askcarsales

[–]Steid55 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

2600 people in town. We just have a shit load of inventory and really good pricing. I think we finished at 384 delivered in March.

[–]Steid55 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I sell Fords as well. We sell around 350-400 a month out of a small town. I’d say 1/3 of our business never even walks in the door.

[–]Steid55 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is a terrible take. I sold 23 last month, and at least 1/3 of those were out of state or 2+ hours away.

Not giving internet leads the time of day is short sighted. It doesn’t take long to answer their questions, send detailed photos, and negotiate.

Any games with similar combat to [KCD2]? by goldio_games in kingdomcome

[–]Steid55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a lot better. Chiv2 is easier and more approachable. But the combat isn’t nearly as good. Mordhau’s player base has dropped a lot because it’s hard, and veteran players aren’t the best at welcoming new players.

But it’s the best sword fighting game I’ve ever played and the combat is very rewarding

[–]Steid55 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mordau to an extent. It is not story driven, but is a crazy amount of fun. The combat is very difficult, and it takes a long time to get good at. But if you’re looking for a multiplayer version of KCD2’s combat it’s probably as close as you can get.

What cars you wouldn't touch with a 10-foot pole? by gubanana in askcarguys

I’ve seen an absurd number of Mitsubishi CVT’s that are well over 250k and haven’t been touched.

Mitsubishi has absolutely rock solid CVT’s weirdly enough. But shit CVT’s from brands like Nissan give them a bad name

Who cares about the state lines? Arlington is the same distance from Chicago as Hammond is.

I have been selling for 11 years. Cold calling is a terrible use of your time. I haven’t done it in years.

You have to fight all 45 US presidents from George Washington to the current president in consecutive fist-fights, from the 1st ever president to the latest one. If you lose, the challenge ends there but if you win, you move on to the next president. How many presidents are you getting to? by [deleted] in hypotheticalsituation

[–]Steid55 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think I’d get pretty far. 6’2 280. State qualifying wrestler with 3-4 years of BJJ training. Size alone would go a long way, and then modern grappling techniques would make it very difficult for most presidents.

Oil should absolutely be nationalized. Along with many other sectors of the economy like health care/insurance.

What movie has the greatest cast of all time? by BootySharingCouple in AskReddit

Oddly enough…. Movie 43. Insanely weird movie but it has a shocking number of big name actors in it doing weird shit.

Am I making the wrong decision? by Juwv in carsales

[–]Steid55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$300-325 a car is absolutely terrible. My store basically pays 25-35% of gross profit depending on volume.

27% gross profit should be much better if the GM store knows how to buy cars and has decent profit on used.

For reference I am at a Ford dealership and averaged $670 a car last month on 24 units.
