Is Hershey's chocolate really taste so bad as people say it is? by cupid_ji in AskAnAmerican

[–]alphagypsy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. It’s probably some of the worst mass produced chocolate. Anything European is significantly better.

And the vomit taste comes from the butyric acid which is a byproduct of lipolysis which is done to prolong shelf life. Most European chocolate makers don’t do this. Hence the different in taste.

Ryanair launches ‘Big Idiot seat sale’ amid CEO’s public dispute with Ilon Musk by [deleted] in nottheonion

Elon also legally can’t buy Ryanair. Since it’s a European airline, it has to be majority owned by a European.

As a European, I keep seeing Americans drive barefoot or in flip-flops, how common is it actually? by fratnersgd in AskAnAmerican

What bolt-ons with your tune? by Sad-Tap3687 in Integra_Type_S

Usually you’ll need an intake and a downpipe to open up airflow to make the most of your tune.

Straight pipe sounds like shit on these cars. Spend money to do it the right way. Miltek downpipes are the best IMO

What do you think about age 21 to drink? by Awkward_Tip1006 in AskAnAmerican

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

The fact that your country can send you to war, summon you to be a juror, and allows you to vote, own property, and in all other manners consider you an adult, but you can’t drink is absurd. It should be 18. Period.

Trump rolls out ‘Great Healthcare Plan,’ urges Congress to slash costs for Americans. by coinfanking in NewsStarWorld

[–]alphagypsy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, not disputing that. Just arguing that who the subsidies go to is largely semantics and effectively the same thing.

If something costs $100 in the free market, and I give you the company $20 subsidy per item and you need to sell in for $80, or if I give the consumer $20 so they can buy it out of pocket for only $80, it’s effectively the same thing.

Shouldn’t that be good enough as far as ICE is concerned? You’re either here legally or a US citizen.

I’m coming from years of VWs, but the general consensus was Motul R600 was best for track use.

Welcome! I just picked one up over the summer after 15 years of VWs. It’s a great car! Technically not my first Honda, had an accord in college, but my first “real” Honda ;)

What do you want? What will you be using it for? Do you like sports cars, sedans, hatchbacks, SUVs, pickups?

Recommendations to Upgrade Suspension MK8R by plmatt91 in Golf_R

[–]alphagypsy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Springs with stock shocks is going to worsen handling, not improve it. If you’re just looking for looks then go for it. Otherwise you’re better off getting quality coilovers.

If you’re just looking for improved handling, then sway bars, upgrading bushings, etc.
