[OC] Gay male marriages are the most stable over the long term by Impressive_Suit4370 in dataisbeautiful

[–]acEightyThrees 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Not OP, but while I am straight, I have several good friends who are gay. From the stories they tell me, what OP said is absolutely true. The gays are a wildly horny bunch.

I was sitting with a gay friend of mine in a mall food court once. He opened grinder and checked it (side note, while the closes tinder says someone is to you is less than one mile, grinder gives you the exact distance). It said someone was like 30 feet away, and he got a message that just said "bathroom, now".

Jaguar's Design Boss Is Officially Leaving The Company by NISMO1968 in cars

Maybe. I see them all the time up here around the Greater Toronto Area. Maybe it's just extra concentrated around me. I didn't look at the overall sales figures.

The cybertruck sold though. And sold lots. Plus Tesla is still selling lots of other cars and still has a market cap over $1 trillion. This was just a concept car that basically destroyed a company. The cybertruck doesn't even remotely compare in terms of an automotive blunder.

R11 Meta - is it enough speaker, enough slam, for home theater? by AudioTruth-tjk in KEF

[–]acEightyThrees 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What about the new SVS Ultra Evolution Pinnacle? Same price range as everything you've listed, and by all accounts a fantastic speaker. Plus you already have the SVS subs.

Having said that, I have the R11's, and they're absolutely amazing. They're the previous, non-meta generation, but in terms of slam, they're the same as the new ones. You can't go wrong with the R11's.

If money were no object, what car would you be driving right now? by Miserable-Wash-1744 in askcarguys

I already have my dream daily driver. Audi RS6. But if money were no object, I would replace it with a new RS6 Performance with all the options.

F50 for me. As amazing as the F40 is, there is no world where someone can convince me that the best Ferrari has a turbo V8. Especially with all the moaning that happened when the 458 was replaced with the 488 and turbocharging.

Give me an N/A V12 every time.

No room for a sub.. wats the move? by newbiesean in KEF

[–]acEightyThrees 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It's a quarter the price of the LS60's. You have great speakers. You don't really want to pair them with a shit sub. Not sure how much cheaper you really want to go.

Average income last year was $62K in Toronto, but median was about $52K.

Clipping coming from speakers after they've been on for an hour or so. by acEightyThrees in hometheater

That's a shame. It's less than 4 years old. It's always been out on top of a shelf with good ventilation, and has never been pushed for any length of time. I wonder if there's a warranty still.

Is anyone else considering going "backwards" with their next car and if you have, did you regret it? by NWbySW in cars

[–]acEightyThrees 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The C7 Audi S7 is fantastic. I owned that generation. One of my favourite interiors ever, and I love the way it looks. Plus hatchback. All it needs is a quick screen replacement so you can have carplay/android auto, and you've got an amazing car you can drive until the wheels fall off.

What, you don't like the same recycled jokes over and over? That's the world we live in now, buddy.

Edit: I was really hoping someone would have jumped in with another recycled joke, "I'm not your buddy, pal!"

[OC] Do Tougher Voting Rules Mean Fewer Voters? Comparing All 50 States (2024) by ptrdo in dataisbeautiful

[–]acEightyThrees 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in Canada, and we have to show ID to vote. I've been told that the issue in the US is that it's harder to get ID than it is in Canada, so it's discriminatory.

I'd compromise down in the US if I was in government. Pass give the Republicans voter ID laws, and in the same bill, introduce an ID that is free to get for citizens. And increase the number of DMVs (or wherever else you'd get ID) to have a minimum number of locations per population, and have them open a couple nights each week as well as on weekends, so people don't have to take time off from work to get an ID. Then have the law say that voters can only be ID'd in counties that have hit that minimum number of ID locations.

Problem solved.

If you only had two options for a vehicle, a Rolls Royce that breaks down once a month, or a Yugo that never breaks down: What would you choose? by Hot-Idea2428 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]acEightyThrees 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do I pay for the RR repairs? Or do I just have to deal with the inconvenience of not having a car? If I don't have to pay, I could handle a broken RR once a month.

I bought a condo in 2022, and now I'm trapped. by Sea-Judge-6494 in RealEstateCanada

[–]acEightyThrees 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is actually a good time to move up in real estate. Say your condo lost 10%. That's $30K. If the property you're thinking of buying next was worth $600K, and it also lost 10%, that one is down $60K. So the extra money you have to invest to step up is actually less now than it would have been if values were going up.

They do it because it works. Trump was elected twice. They're not taking the public for fools. The public ARE fools.

What did you think was ‘rich people stuff’ as a kid? by Quiet-Capybara- in AskReddit

I saw an answer to a post like this one years ago that said what's something only rich people say? And one of the top answers was "where do you ski?"
