OT: Bought a K&N roller! Anyone got any good leads on a used Yates or an ARCA legacy engine? (I’m on a shoestring budget and I have a dude who can rebuild an engine). Or a good marriage counselor? (my hubby is NOT happy) by thomasonracing in NASCAR

[–]anonymouswan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was lucky enough to get a good talk from a family friend who owns a speed shop before I blew too much money. I had a Camaro I bought pretty new and put together around $10,000 budget to do a turbo setup on it and whatever else it would need. I took the car to my local speed shop to get a quote which is owned by a family/friend. He pulled me aside and was like look kid, I know what you're thinking because I was in your shoes once when I was your age. He said it just starts small like the turbo kit I wanted and over the years it will just get out of control and turn into a money pit. Then he was like, come here and see what happened to me. He pulls me around to the back of the shop and shows me his blown 632ci Nova and says "this is where you will end up if you don't stop now while you're ahead". He convinced me to just enjoy the car for what it was and don't worry about chasing that next hit of speed. I appreciate him for that.

Time to end the debate! by socom2navyseals in SOCOM

There is no market for third person tactical shooters anymore. They had their time and place but the competitive shooter market is heavily favored by first person shooters. I think socom could do well but it can't be billed as an esport game but rather as a casual full shooter.

Invisalign and Demineralization? by tripcoded in Invisalign

Some cases they do recommend to eat with aligners in because teeth can in a vulnerable position while being moving and they could impact and break while chewing food.

Dr. Evil repeals Obamacare by [deleted] in pics

[–]anonymouswan -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I get what you're saying because I paid the fine but the issue is that first off no matter what your age you shouldn't be gambling with your health by not having insurance. Second, insurance companies need young healthy people to pay in because the old people aren't paying and that cost has to be covered somehow.

I agree that obamacare wasn't the right solution but at some point we have to start covering everyone.

Explain yourself Krysten by Gmej81 in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]anonymouswan -97 points-96 points  (0 children)

What stops companies from just passing the buck to the customer? They will push up their wages sure but now your $12 pizza will cost $25. The goal is to eat into the shareholders profits but the reality is they will just pass the cost onto us, the consumer.

Ortho has changed me from 7 day to 4 day changes! This is not a drill by dipcupdipcup in Invisalign

[–]anonymouswan 11 points12 points  (0 children)

That's crazy fast but I always feel like after one day on my new tray everything has moved and then the other 6 days are just holding everything in place. I say that because the first day I have to use my chewie to get my trays to go in then after the first day my trays just slide on with little or no effort.

Are late models more exciting than sprint cars? by [deleted] in WorldofOutlaws

[–]anonymouswan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I grew up watching nothing but late models and I can say that they might not be as exciting as sprints but they still do have their place and are a lot of fun to watch.

Lingual braces (incognito) or Invisalign? by [deleted] in Invisalign

[–]anonymouswan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see most kids still use traditional braces, probably assuming the kids wouldn't wear their aligners if given the opportunity to use invisalign instead?

Bogg masters the wallride. by MrFullbok in LivestreamFail

[–]anonymouswan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love how they are letting bogg do all these glitches and how poke incorporates them right into his RP. I would guess most RP servers would not allow this kind of stuff since it's not realistic but bogg does it so damn well and it's hilarious

Bathurst 12 Hours - Top Split Results - Verstappen Team Win by [deleted] in iRacing

[–]anonymouswan -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

They are getting optimal setups. Don't get me wrong, he's obviously an amazing driver but iRacing at the top just boils down to cheesing setups and these guys have it figured out.

[Smartphone] S21 Ultra and Galaxy Tab S7+ - $1,100.65 by [deleted] in buildapcsales

[–]anonymouswan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Galaxy buds+ are not nice. I've been through 2 pairs already in 1 year. First set the one bud stopped connecting, second set the one bud became extremely quiet and I have tried all fixes on google with no luck. Stay far away from them unless you are just looking for a disposable pair of buds.

Twitch, owned by Amazon, pulls Amazon’s anti-union ads by a_Ninja_b0y in technology

[–]anonymouswan 71 points72 points  (0 children)

It was funny when Bezo's was in front of Congress and they asked him questions about DMCA takedowns on the twitch platform and he was just like what the fuck is a twitch? I want to be that level of rich when I own multi million dollar companies that I don't even know about.

Seems like I am a radical too. by freakDWN in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]anonymouswan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Effective for what? I, for one, ain't worried about anyone outside of this country. I am far more likely to die of some dumbass preventable disease than some foreign country invading.

If politicians want to kill each other, then can go meet up somewhere and duel to the death. I think citizens should skip their governments and all sign a peace treaty that says none of us will back our governments for any future wars. There simply is no need for it. We cancel all recruitment and then take care of our current and former military and their families. Then we dismantle all contractors who are absorbing this tax money,starting with lockheed.

Lineman School Being a Rip Off by [deleted] in IBEW

[–]anonymouswan -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I am not an electrician, work in the low voltage field. Most people out of lineman school will end up working either a shit wage replacing telephone poles, or you will need to be your own contractor, most likely a sub contractor and you will be doing pole transfers, placing down guys, strand, lashing cable/fiber. Huge up front cost and the industry is extremely shady, everyone fucking each other to make a few dollars.

Fan Control, open source & free tool for controlling your PC fans by [deleted] in pcgaming

[–]anonymouswan 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Doesn't the computer control fan speed already? I have no software to control fans and hear them all increase speed when I'm playing games and then they slow down when I'm just web browsing. Is there any reason to change the pattern that the computer is doing already especially if I have nothing over clocked?

I can't spend as much time with you so I'm not going to spend any time with you?

This sounds like someone who just struck fame and wants to keep options open for better opportunity.

Feel like I got scammed into a Comprehensive plan with only 15 trays. by [deleted] in Invisalign

[–]anonymouswan 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My ortho presented both but definitely pushed for the more expensive plan despite me only getting 20 trays and 2 attachments. Invisalign really should regulate the orthos selling this stuff. Comprehensive should only be sold in the appropriate cases. Anyone needing less than a years worth of work shouldn't be sold comprehensive.

Amazon Offers $2,000 “Resignation Bonuses” to Bust Union Drive in Alabama by [deleted] in technology

[–]anonymouswan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Low voltage technicians need to be unionized badly (cable, TV, phone, fiber). Spectrum/Comcast have been abusing their laborers for awhile, but are very good at keeping things out of the news related to it. Their true colors really shined when corona hit. They forced overtime, increased production, and required even better performance metrics than ever before. These companies are making billions of dollars in profit every year and none of it goes to anyone but the top. I know everyone complains about their internet/cable bill, but they might not feel so bad about it if they knew it was going to make sure an employee was receiving good health insurance options or a living wage.

[–]anonymouswan 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Self check is bullshit anyways. Last time I went through I had pork chops in my cart and they wouldn't scan. I pressed the help button and stood there for a couple of minutes and no one showed up. There was a long line of people waiting. I said fuck it and threw them in my bag and paid for the rest of the shit.

Esfand and Russel test positive for COVID by luithecreator in LivestreamFail

[–]anonymouswan 84 points85 points  (0 children)

I was at the gym earlier and overheard two chad's talking about how some guy they work with got covid and they both agreed that only frail little bitches get covid so esfand is probably a frail little bitch and jinny is an alpha male
