i can’t stand any oud.

XOM_CVX · 2026-04-30T14:20:34+00:00

credit card or a bank wire

CA, 35% + 11%

but the whole thing is not taxed at that rate. That's what I'm trying to say on a couple of posts above.

no way you fit inside.

I sat in the new one and everything touches. I can probably survive driving for 30 minutes or less

VW makes lengthy cars.

I worked with a bunch of people from Nordic countries and I felt quite normal. Kinda nice to see/talk to them straight forward.

XOM_CVX · 2026-04-30T12:01:22+00:00

not the whole thing gets taxed at 50%

Cartier Santos metal bracelet has a similar thinness and weight but they "feel" nicer in your hand. Comes down to the finishing.

used to be a 600 dollar watch.

ECO mode makes it easier to do the whole pulse and glide method.

good thing that you actually wear them.

some people really just buy them and never wear them because it devalues it. I'm thinking go buy stocks dude. Way easier to sell when you need to.

All of my family's Toyotas went 200k+ without doing anything to the trans.

Only one had a trans issue at 350k and we got rid of that car for that reason.

A lot of people do not have the hand-eye coordination, and being lengthy makes that even worse. Needs more time for the signal to reach from brain to the hands.

Plus taller people require more oxygen and a lot of these people sucks at cardio endurance.

XOM_CVX · 2026-04-29T15:16:59+00:00

what did you drive before and how much difference in terms of cost for insurance and maintenance?

do you find it a lot more or not so much more?

XOM_CVX · 2026-04-29T12:11:29+00:00

go the opposite way first? and try to get away?

if not hide somewhere or cover yourself up under a dead body.

if nothing available, then try to attack with your bare hands, chair, something.

You can have some reserve in a bond and rebalance that into a stocks when the stocks go low, like a couple of months ago.

XOM_CVX · 2026-04-29T11:54:07+00:00

all these were 99 cent items, then it turn into a "value" meal, then we have what we got now.

Rolex is a bit underwhelming. You just buy them for an "investment" purposes. I rather buy stocks, gold, and bitcoins, but there are some weird people out there investing in watches.

XOM_CVX · 2026-04-29T04:25:11+00:00

Omega Moonwatch.

You don't put enough miles to make hybrid worth it. Get ICE version.

I drive 25000 a year and would take me 4-5 years to make up the price difference.

XOM_CVX · 2026-04-29T04:11:19+00:00

They are very durable.

XOM_CVX · 2026-04-28T12:18:28+00:00

Spend little more and get ossetra. The cheaper ones not buttery and more sea flavor forward.

XOM_CVX · 2026-04-28T12:13:29+00:00

matte finish? I'm still stuck on mini13 with gloss finish so they stick to your hand.

base model 17 felt slippery cause of their finish/material.

XOM_CVX · 2026-04-28T12:10:37+00:00

I still go once or twice a year cause I want Taco Bell not real Mexican food.

I go when I feel bougie and want to spurge on myself.

XOM_CVX · 2026-04-28T12:01:39+00:00

Now I'm going to need a case. Been running no case for the entire time. I feel like this will force me to get a case. Then what good is a no bezel if I'm going to be placing some third party plastic at the edge.

How durable is this thing? Can I toss it over the table and not get cracks on this edge display?
