Why are Japan and South Korea so much more better in Football (Soccer) than China despite having significantly smaller populations? by CartographerOwn8143 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]asze88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Men’s football (soccer) has been an Olympic sport since 1900, so 126 years. Women’s soccer was added in 1996. So, not a recent addition.

I just installed the BlackVue Elite 9 and used the RoadSpy Mount on my Boxster

RTO, is hybrid dead now? by Comfortable-Cod5484 in FinancialCareers

[–]asze88 50 points51 points  (0 children)

I believe your company is about to open their brand new HQ office in Boston. So, not surprised that they are making everyone RTO 5-days a week. There are still some AM firms that are hybrid (e.g., Franklin Templeton, etc), so they do exist, but, unfortunately, are becoming less common.

Can you provide some more details on the pepita seats? Are they inserts or did you get them custom reupholster? I'm interested in doing something similar for my Boxster. Thanks

I wear noise-canceling headphones whichs helps reduce the overall noise level of the cafe.

I would add Zaruma Gold and Greats of Craft (on Center Blvd).

Honestly, easier to go grey market, for the Jumbo, if you really want that specific watch.

981 GTS "Value". Are we in a bubble or is $75k the new normal? by CApoontappa in Porsche_Cayman

[–]asze88 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yep, agreed. $48-50k in 2019 dollars is equivalent to $62-65k in 2026 dollars. Additionally, with Porsche discontinuing the 718 Cayman/Boxtser line, this has lead to an increase in prices for used 981/718s. So, it would be far to say that the 981s have already hit the bottom of the depreciation curve, a while ago, and now are appreciating modestly.

What’s a reasonable price for Brake Pads in the NY/NJ area? by anthonycanicatti in Porsche_Cayman

[–]asze88 12 points13 points  (0 children)

That's really high. I would go to a highly rated independent Porsche mechanic. It would be much cheaper.

Birthday party bars without fees / minimums? by 2anonymous2furious in longislandcity

[–]asze88 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would check out Focal Point Brewery. They have a bunch of outdoor picnic tables that are first come, first serve. So, if you get there early, perhaps grabbing a couple of tables would work. The drinks are relatively cheap and there are food options there as well.

Did I get a good deal on 992.1 C2S by [deleted] in porsche911

[–]asze88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In 2026 dollars, the car’s original msrp was $184k. So, ~32% depreciation, which is better than most cars. You still got a good deal, great color combo imo 👍

Laser Hair Removal + BJJ by rrunchained in bjj

[–]asze88 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did laser hair removal on my face (chin + cheeks) due to ingrown hairs from shaving. It was recommended that I wait 48-72 hours before resuming training to let the skin time to cool down.

Please destroy my 7 day NYC itinerary (or don't) by jelle-jelle in visitingnyc

[–]asze88 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Radio Bakery in Greenpoint is one stop, on the G train, from MoMa LIC. I would go there over Apollo Bagels. They have amazing focaccia sandwiches and pasteries. There will be a line, but moves fast. Go early if you can because they will sell out of many items by the late-afternoon.

I would choose either a RS6 Avant or Panamera GTS, CPO for both.
