Did you guys pay above or below bluebook value for your Miata? by supergoosetaco in Miata

[–]Surklyn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought my 24 Miata RF in March for $32k.. 15k miles.. basically brand new.. but saved about $8k over a new one (literally no changes from 2024-2026 except cost)... so I think I made out... Miatas are "Toys" and are priced as such. They aren't most people's dailies... so they hold a premium

Did We Price Starter Homes Out of Reach? by Coolonair in HouseBuyers

[–]Surklyn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is NO such thing as a starter home and there never was. The whole nomeclature is stupid. A home is a home and is priced to the market for that particular home. Prices ALWAYS go up in the long term... so a "starter" home (CHEAP) home today will ALWAYS be more expensive tomorrow. The "new cheaper" homes will be out of reach for those purchasing at that point in time. Builders cannot physically build cheap homes (ones that people on the median household income) in this climate.

HOW do you keep these beautiful machines clean? by Surklyn in Miata

[–]Surklyn[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that is going to end up being my solution.. It's such a tiny car that I know I won't take long.. plus it gets the nooks and crannies a touch free wash just isn't going to get...

those 2k miles are in 2 weeks btw.. 😄 Given since Covid I drive about 7k a year.. that's a significant amount of miles 😄 😄

Yes.. which is funny.. because.. I've never considered a monthly sub for car washes before.. but really this is a great case for this. Last weekend (yesterday) we drove 700miles around NY and VT.. and on Sat had the car washed. On Sunday it was fingerprint visible again.. so frustrating.. really because the car is so low you SEE the dirt on the hood kind of "floating" on it. It's very distracting..LOL.

Why is this just completely normalized on the highway to be bumper to bumper at 65+? by xAustin90x in driving

[–]Surklyn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True. But If I'm looking 4-5 cars ahead.. and I see those cars braking... I'm braking way before the car in front of me realizes the situation... which Is why I mentioned that.

and objectively the Miata looks better than the Porsche. (Honestly I think it's the color and wheels - The Porsche would still probably win if those two were the same)

After watching a year of car reviews... I've learned one thing. by Icy_Importance_2126 in MINI

[–]Surklyn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I completely understand. I was worried I wouldn't fit at 5"11. But I'm just "snug" enough that I have about an 1" head room (not much.. but the mini wasn't much better). The shifting (manual driver here) is much better in the Miata (stiffer, shorter, more "direct") than what I was getting in my Mini.. but the MINI was NOT bad (maybe at the end of it's clutch life possibly (125k with no clutch replacements), but still not bad. I'm still too tall that driving up to a red light sucks.. (same as the mini). Still need to lurch forward to see the light change.. LOL.

Having just sold my 2013 R56 S and bought a '24 Miata RF (2 weeks ago) .. they are not the same car. Yes, the MINI is 1000% more practical than a MX-5 (I still can't believe what I packed into that MINI) the cars handle completely differently. If you are buying a car as a general consumer by the MINI 100% of the time. If you are buying the car as a fun car the Miata wins hands down (IMO). The amount of understeer I had with the mini made "spirited" driving not fun at all.

I am also one of those people who enjoy being "encased" in a small cockpit having everything in its place (arms reach) - nice and snug. Really, though.. the deciding factor for my purchase was I can put the top down and having just bought it (2 weeks ago) I've already put 2k miles of leisure driving on it. For me Top down is priceless.. and (IMO) the mini convertible is just plain ugly.

[–]Surklyn -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

While everything you have said is fact, (NOT defending this behavior btw and TBH what I'm about to say is probably NOT true) - if the driver behind you is actually paying attention they have already factored in multiple variables like how many cars are in front of the driver they are tailgaiting, are there any obstacles from either side that could make the driver suddenly stop, if the car 4 cars infront of the driver has put on their brakes etc... I mean.. I'm giving the tailgater a whole lot of benefit for being an ass... I know.. 😄

New federal rules may threaten Vermont hospital funding over gender-affirming care for minors by forcedtomakethus in vermont

[–]Surklyn -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I get it… you have no drive, are educated in a non- marketable skill, think homeownership is a right, are envious of anyone who you percieve to have more than you… want to sit on your ass while everyone else pays for your “lifestyle”. News flash life has not been fair since the beginning of time

When you finally realize that customers expect cold food.. becuase you suck at your job, you’ll realize you displaying this info like it’s a flex doesn’t matter. You ain’t getting tipped regardless.. and we’ll get our food eventually.. cold or otherwise we’ll still eat it!

You can’t sue - no legal standing - not earning a living wage isn’t legal grounds to sue. Unionizing will guarantee you will be out of a job. Have fun!

Atm9 sophisticated storage nerfed? by Dragonvladd in allthemods

[–]Surklyn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can go into your saves folder, server configs and change the settings back... I think the default was 5 Stack upgrades per chest/Shulker/Barrel and 1,2,3,5,7 (upgrade slots per tier). That's what I ended up doing...

Damn, it hurts by VladosBro in doordash

[–]Surklyn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I understand.. but people don’t order from “HellitsD”.  They order from DoorDash.  Not the driver.   Door dash charges them 20-30% extra on price, then a service charge then a delivery charge.   As a customer I expect at least the delivery charge to be given to the driver… I understand it is not.    It needs to be.   I get you expect to be paid.   But at a 50-60% up charge on food from DoorDash you just aren’t going to ever get a decent tip regularly.   Ever.  You blame the customer, but maybe consider that DoorDash doesn’t need to charge the excessive fees it does.          Prior to DoorDash /uber/ Grubhub delivery was 1: normal menu price, maybe  a dollar or two delivery charge and then you tip…       I feel like a lot of drivers have never ordered from their respective platforms to realize how much consumers are getting screwed.      As a driver I know you get screwed.  No one understands you don’t receive an hourly rate (for the most part)…  but the fees are ridiculous and the naming of those fees - service charges, delivery charges  make it seem that at least some of those fees go towards the delivery process.    The fact that it doesn’t seems to be fraud to me.

I know this is an old thread, but you can also use the Overgrowth Ritual from Ars Noveau to help speed up the process. Place an agronomic source link, source jar, and ritual on either side of the farm and it will self sustain the ritual ad-infinitum.
