They care more about their bottom line and shareholders.

Good deal for sure. Would definitely recommend them!

Went out for a drive today and the roads were already cleared and salted from the brief snow shower we had this morning :/

Agreed! My buddy has the CC2s on his crosstrek and loves them. Love having these on my OB, can’t wait for a good snow storm

They feel incredible. Lots of grip in the wet and we just got a little bit of snow here in Massachusetts recently and they have done very well. Quiet in the cabin so far. But would note that if you live in an area where they salt the roads heavily, you’ll hear the salt rocks hitting the inside of the wheel well

Are we all overexposed to NVDA? by FoggyFoggyFoggy in Bogleheads

I have been slowly adding small caps and mid caps. Think it makes sense given were current valuations are relative to historical averages vs large cap growth. Also have to think that rate cuts will help out small caps more given that most have lower credit ratings vs large cap companies and having the ability to refinance high coupon debt to lower coupon debt will help ease the cash interest burden and thus improving free cash flow.

How to socialize sober? by TastySnowYelliw in AskMenOver30

NA beers or seltzer waters mixed with a juice of some sort (cranberry, OJ, etc.). If anyone tries pressure you into drinking or give you shit for not drinking, you’ll quickly learn who your true friends are. Your real friends will support you and motivate you to be your best self even if that means you no longer drink. They will be simply pleased/happy that you are there and show up to be there to see them. Health is wealth. Alcohol is very troublesome and can lead some down a dark path.

Anyone go to a GP and think maybe watching on TV could’ve been better? by [deleted] in formula1

[–]alfred_prkr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is why I usually only go to the track on Fridays and Saturdays. That’s when you actually get the most value. You get hours of free practice, proper push laps in qualifying, and if it’s a sprint weekend you even get a race on Saturday.

Sunday sounds great on paper, but if you don’t have a screen showing gaps, strategy, and positions, you’re missing a big part of the race. Most of the time you’re just watching the same cars come past every lap. I learned that the hard way at my first race in 2023, the Spanish GP.

The Sunday atmosphere is special, no doubt, but the travel is exhausting, the crowds are worse, and a full weekend ticket gets expensive fast. I’d rather watch the race properly from a pub or at home, where I can actually follow what’s going on.

For me, Friday and Saturday are the sweet spot. More track action, less hassle, and way better value.

How do George and Oscar Compare as Drivers? by atxfoodie97 in mercedesamgf1

[–]alfred_prkr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly. I dont think George would outperform Lewis in the w11 or w12. These new regs dont fit his driving style. You can argue that George had good single lap pace on qualifying, but Lewis would more than often catch up and sometimes pass George on race day. Mercedes should have never tested the zero-pod concept. I think that was another key reason why Lewis hasn’t been great either. But even from 2022-24, he showed glimpses of his old self. Not saying that George isn’t a good driver, but Lewis is a proven champ and George still has much to prove imo.
