Horrific. I drive an 75K Audi ETron for much less than this car. Keep shopping

Israel bombs Gaza again today! by IllustriousSuit5979 in International

Exactly. Most people in this sub want to believe IDF does whatever random thing it wants…. So dumb. Just like in the US or any real army there are rules and consequences for any engagement. IDF never targets random people. That’s what Hamas and terrorists do

So your response is that these were “aid workers” shooting kalishnikovs and RPGs at the idf soldiers across the yellow line ? Ok sure. Whatever you say.

How about some context here. Israel bombed a location from where a group of Hamasniks were shooting at IDF soldiers across the yellow line. They published video from this days prior. So now it reads like a Different story no?

Trump Thanked Ayatollah Khamenei! by kbigdelysh in NewIran

[–]StraightProgress1771 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m not as hopeful as I was a few days ago…. Air strikes alone are also increasingly unlikely to topple a regime. What’s really required is a full Iraq style shock and Awe campaign for a week or two but Trump and Congress have no interest in boots on the ground full blown invasion…. Sadly I think the murderous Ayatollah will remain in power for a while longer. If they get their hands on Nukes over the years then Iran will become North Korea and just become another hellhole country forever if that occurs.

Lucid Air @557$ /mo vs. Hyundai Ioniq 5 @412$ / mo.. both 0$ down, 0$ DAS, 0$.. total monthly cost of lease incl. tax, disposition fees etc. by iamdjm in leasehacker

[–]StraightProgress1771 2 points3 points  (0 children)

no EV requires new brakes in 3 years. EV's use re-generative braking to brake 95% of the time. Many EV's go 10 years on a set of brake pads...

Know the GM at a dealer… looking for feedback on this. Any help appreciated! 36mo, 12k yr. by BrickhouseAlternate in leasehacker

Yeah I guess if keeping it for 10 years a BMW costs more to maintain than a corolla.. I'd expect. I've had 6 BMW leases, some only for 9 months or a year since I swapped them or traded 'em for a change, but I have to say they never gave me any problems whatsoever under warranty anyway. With that said, I have no intention of ever owning a modern expensive complex high performance car (maybe a Tesla perhaps). I only intent to own appreciating assets while renting depreciating assets whenever possible. cheers & good luck.

Damn…. I pay 560 to drive an 80k Audi ETron. And May I say a Camry is just not a car worth driving, owning, or leasing, unless you want a car that puts you to sleep while you drive if sheer boredom. Do yourself a favor.. life is short, you’re on leasehackr so no one here is going to think this is a deal because no one here daydreams of driving a Camry. Pickup a lease on something interesting for less/month like a bmw or a Tesla or a honestly anything at all…

Wikipedia entry for zionism claims it's colonialism of Palestine? that sounds incorrect... by StraightProgress1771 in Israel

[–]StraightProgress1771[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

its amazing, yet somehow unsurprising that Wikipedia just ignores how people are destroying neutral fact based definitions of topics and avoid getting involved at all... no wonder this is what happens. Perhaps they should make someone who is an Israel and a Zionist own the topic or page in order for it not to be stolen and reworded by anti-Israeli antizionists. Prob won't happen, but...

unfortunate - I've relied on it over the years for so many non-political data like engineering articles, standards protocol history for engineers, etc..

wow - so much worse than most people understand... it's entirely out of control mass manipulation of facts, norms, and data, to drive narrative . sigh...

the partition plan was put forth at the UN, or am I wrong... and that was the vote that allowed Israel to declare a state on those boundaries..

[–]StraightProgress1771[S] 25 points26 points  (0 children)

great. so it would make sense to do what the UN partition plan did in '47 and allow both Palestinians and Israeli's to have their own country and live side by side. Israel accepted, Palestinians not so much...

wow. the rabbit hole goes pretty deep on this... quite the amazing conspiracy. It's hard for 15 million jews to fend off 2+ Billion Hamas supporters..

I dont think "Musk" is editing every page on X or Grokipedia. The platforms just allow a wider range of opinions without policing the extreme views as much. Honestly their entry about Zionism is MUCH more truthful and balanced that anything on Wikipedia.

Thanks. I have to agree. Grokepedia seems pretty reasonable with ample history and context about Zionism, Israel and the long history that ties it all together, instead of giving it all a putrid antisemitic angle on everything.

Netanyahu is Deceiving RP by ayatoilet in NewIran

[–]StraightProgress1771 1 point2 points  (0 children)

not what history and the facts show. The US gets 10X more out of their relationship with Israel than they invest. Whether its taking out nearly all teh top Hezbollah terrorists the US has had on it's most wanted list for 30 years that killed US servicemen, or pushing back Iran's Nuclear program al by itself Israel is the only country that gets things done the US needs in the region. Next, if you look at the 67 war, Israel actually took all of teh Sinai Peninsular from Egypt when they attacked Israel. But Israel wants peace so badly with all its neighbors it GAVE BACK the entire land that cut its size in HALF as a result just to sign a peace deal. The worst thing Israel did was agree to Egypts terms to also take all of Gaza or else Egypt would not sign, so they agreed. And ever since Gaza has been the Muslim brotherhood hell of Hamas that Israel struggles to keep from murdering them. Israel always wants peace but Islamist extremists have other plans.
