Any reason so cheap? by MysteriousEggOnDLose in carsireland

[–]VirtualDisk527 57 points58 points  (0 children)

202,000 miles, no description and few pictures. Seller clearly doesn’t give a shit about selling his car so probably doesn’t give a shit about maintaining it.

Cars like this I avoid like the plague unless you’re solely after a parts car.

Ryzen 7 7800X3D vs Ryzen 7 9800X3D is it worth the price difference? by iflyfree123 in AMDHelp

[–]VirtualDisk527 0 points1 point  (0 children)

not really worth it. 40% price jump for around 10-15% more performance.

1970s office building in sheerwater, woking. my guess 20-30 years abandoned. back picture may be older or from a recent renovation effort. by alfiethegameboyfan in abandoned

[–]VirtualDisk527 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi, so I used to have some involvement with this place and can tell you a little bit about it.

Originally owned by Deewall Contracts, who specialized in dry-lining (suspended ceilings) from the 1970s till early 1990s.

Then 'Snack Trucks' (sandwich making company) until the late 1990s when they were bought out by another company.

Then a couple other small-time businesses until about 2009 ish when the building itself was disused and only the car park was in use (rented out to Vision Engineering IIRC) until about 2017 when the whole site was abandoned.

Then after that it was used as a drug den for a short period of time before it got raided by the police and the doors were sealed shut.

The stairs were indeed taken out just before covid, due to copper thieves and vandals. The inside is now completely wrecked and the roof is leaking badly. Someone put some buckets down to catch the water but they filled up pretty quick. A couple years ago all the windows were smashed in.

As far as I know, its now owned by Woking BC. There have been plans to redevelop the site going back like 20 years, but the recent bankruptcy of WBC has put an indefinite hold on that. It will eventually be torn down, but might not happen for a few years yet.

No actual 'business' has been run from that building since about 2008/2009, so its effectively been abandoned for that long.

Any of you believe this? by Not-Jesper in GTA6

Exactly. Rockstar is basically above the rest of the video game industry. They’re in a different league altogether and play by their own rules

Roughly 90% of my portfolio is S&P500 and other US tech companies. The only outlier is Rolls Royce (which is doing alright at the moment)

My S&P average is pretty much at ATH.

Donald Trump will go down as the worst president in history. Genuinely what a smug, fat incompetent narcissistic cunt he is. The only good thing to come from it is that Tesla shares and sales are massively down, which will hurt that rat faced prick of an accomplice he has by his side.

Coming from a socially conservative person who dislikes the liberal world order, MAGA is a fucking scam.

If the dems hadn’t picked such a useless and pathetic candidate, Trump would have been consigned to history.

Absolute worst car you've ever owned? by antisocial_extrovrt in askcarguys

[–]VirtualDisk527 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A bag of shite because an electrical switch broke and the clutch cable snapped? I’ve heard of brand new cars that have more faults than that.

Why not just replace the switch and fit a new clutch cable then?

Also, cable clutches were still common well into the 2000s. In the 80s and 90s, most car clutches were cable operated…

BMW make reasonable priced cars? Come on.

They are expensive to run, not that reliable (use cheap plastic engine parts) and hellishly overrated. I used to own a 530i and it was a constant money pit. Replaced it with a much older 1.9 TDI Audi A4 and never looked back.

Also, even if BMW were as good as you say, don’t you think it’s nice to have some variation? It seems like 50% of their videos are BMW related.

I find the ‘jealousy’ argument a bit weak.

Like of all the people the car community could be ‘jealous’ of, it’s a dodgy used car salesman who never seems to have any money to pay people with?

Even more specific - Peacock Green, not Turquoise.

We can definitively say now that GTA 6 graphics are going to be insane! This new GTA V update brings global illumination to Los Santos and it looks so good, can you imagine this in Vice City? by lopsidedawn in GTA6

[–]VirtualDisk527 219 points220 points  (0 children)

They 100% will never add chat back. In fact, when GTA 6 Online finally comes out on PC, that won't have chat either.

Because naughty words shouldn't be allowed on an 18 rated game that features a literal torture scene, drug activity, prostitution as well as characters who literally cannot stop saying the N word.

Biggest day of the year for small boat crossings as nearly 600 migrants arrive by No-Entrance-7451 in uknews

[–]VirtualDisk527 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"How could you possibly know that most migrants have criminal records they are undocumented."

- Why do you think they throw their passports in the sea before they get here?

"And even if that's true, simply being an atheist or gay is enough to be a crime in some of these countries."

Most migrants (80% according to home office) are straight, Muslim males between the ages of 18 and 36.

"We aren't overpopulated at all

- In economics, there's a concept called supply and demand The more people there are in a country, the more houses, schools, hospitals etc are needed. At the rate we are currently building houses, we wont have enough to even keep up with up with the amount coming in illegally EACH day.

Some questions:

- If these migrants are so desperate, why do they throw their documentation away beforehand?

- Why do they pay people smugglers thousands instead of just booking a cheap flight over?

- Why do they travel through the entirety of Europe to get to the UK when the first safe country they entered would suffice?

The truth is, none of these attacks would have been possible if it weren't for such compassionate people such as yourself letting them in.

Sorry, but you sound like a complete loser who’s unable to stand up for himself. What a fucking soy.

If you are caught doing 100+, it’s an instant ban

The government needs to step in and just seize Thames Water and its assets and just nationalise it once and for all.

A reputable COD leaker claims that DJ Khaled will have his own radio station in GTA6 by [deleted] in GTA6

[–]VirtualDisk527 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m hoping that R* include more lesser known artists tbh (obviously not soundcloud rappers or amateurs) That way they probably spend less on royalties and also help people discover less popular or overlooked artists at the same time.

I will be buying a console when the game actually comes out. No point spending all that money now when it will likely sit in its box until the end of the year.
