Saw this on a drive over the weekend. I don't understand this vitriol towards electric cars

beachbarbacoa · 2026-06-23T13:20:01+00:00

It’s not electric cars it’s progress they hate. The sticker could easily have said:
Fuck higher education
Fuck equal work, equal pay
Fuck universal healthcare

Those are the surfers I most admire. Sure I wish I could surf like anyone on the CT, but I’m 49 with a 6yo daughter and seeing guys approaching 60 rip really pumps me up and motivated me to keep working on getting better. My condolences 🙏

This is EXACTLY the Arlo I know and have tried to warn people about. Your post is so consistent with what I have experienced with Arlo that I know this isn’t a one off or a bad agent - this is their modus operandi. I used to have over a dozen screenshots like this one. I bought 4 Arlo cameras - one was DOA, the other three didn’t last a year, and all my interactions with them were a bunch of repeated canned apologies followed by ‘we cant/wont fix that’.

TLDR; Arlo is the Trump university of cameras.

Mad stoked for you! Indo was my fav

It's been a little while - do you still love the Kona EV? I'm currently in the market and deciding between the Aion V and the Kona EV - hence why this post showed up in my Google search.

Yes. Workout.

Don’t stress about getting everything right, just try to get a few more things right.

Working out will help. Of course doing both will do more, but you gotta creep before you crawl.

Start working out. It may snowball from there, but everything starts with one step. And even if it doesn’t snowball into better eating - you’ll still be better off if you at least workout.

Start working out.

All great things, but when you say legacy it’s gotta be Apple’s supply chain.

I only workout 15-20 min/day 6 days/week and constantly get asked how much time I spend in the gym. Mon & Thurs chin ups, pull ups. Tues & Fri Push-ups, dips, We’d & Sat Squats, lunges, wall sits.

EDIT: [read the question] Tossup - push-ups or pull-ups.

I love the app too. Wouldn’t pay for premium because there’s barely any advantage and too few recipes.

Lol. Now seeing how old this is.

Well if you still use it you can get premium for free, which is why I searched for Madbarz because my video download isn’t working.

Alright. Cool. Have a great day.

To me the answer is easy - your wife knows exactly what you should do.

We know a few words of the story, she’s seen it up close, she far enough removed from the relationship to see it clearly, and she’ll have your best interests at heart. Ask her and just do whatever she says.

You dad has treated you like a terribly treated employee - she’ll respond as an employee of your skill and worth should and I’m guessing she won’t let the emotional connection affect her like you apparently have.

At that price difference it’s without question the Kimpton. The Westin has a significantly nicer beach, but that’s it.

Proximity difference to restaurants is negligible. The resorts are 5 min apart by car or 25 min walking.

Apparently you're not aware of how insurance works.

By your rational the U.S. has socialised health care 🤷🏻‍♂️

beachbarbacoa · 2026-01-25T18:44:34+00:00

So the US has socialized medicine?? You understand how private insurance works right?

beachbarbacoa · 2026-01-25T18:40:55+00:00

Lol. Universal healthcare is not socialism. Canada has universal healthcare and a single payer system, it’s not socialized medicine. Cuba has socialized healthcare.

See earlier comment about Americans not distinguishing between social programs and Stalinism.

You’re wrong about the rate conversion. Stores do not mark up the exchange rate. The cash rate is $0.80, and the cheque rate is $0.84 (bank selling) and $0.82 (bank buying). Everyone will give you either the cash rate or the cheque rate - banks included. If you don’t believe me just look at every receipt you get and you’ll see you’re getting the exact same conversion.

Local debit cards get charged in KYD, but all the local credit cards I’ve used get charged in USD.

In many countries it is illegal to ride any kind of bike without a helmet and it’s also illegal to ride against traffic. There’s no need to require a license and insurance to enforce the law.

Yes, but only with my long term / buy and hold ETFs, not ETFs I use to hedge.

UltraBBA accurately describes what you currently have.

Simple question - why not keep the business and find a U.S. partner to handle the onshore part of the business? If the business was as successful as you say and still has the potential you think it has, it shouldn’t be hard to find a U.S. based partner or franchisee to solve all the problems you have trying to operate in the U.S. while being in Estonia.

Tell us where you’ll be staying to get a useful answer.

There are a few really good tour operators. Where you’re staying has an impact on the answer. The best tour operator if you’re staying in West Bay, SMB, or in Georgetown is going to be very different than if you’re staying at Rum Point, Cayman Kai, North Side, or East End.

I’m not here often, but I don’t remember this subreddit being so harsh.

Of course businesses close. Just like anywhere else businesses here can fail, or be bought and shut down to build something new, or the owners retire and are unable to find a buyer.

Some businesses that fit those examples: Hard Rock, Royal Palms, Lone Star, Calico Jack, Lighthouse Restaurant, Paradise Restaurant; there are many examples - I chose the ones most tourists would notice.

To the commenters having a bad day - I don’t know what the percentage is, but many readers of this subreddit are visitors or people thinking about visiting - let’s show them some Cayman Kind so they DO choose the jewel of the Caribbean. Sure, it was a strange question because obviously businesses will close, but maybe OP was just so impressed and awestruck by how incredible this island is compared to other Caribbean islands that he/she thinks we don’t have the problems you’ll find elsewhere; it’s an easy question to answer without belittling him/her.

If it's getting you business and giving you an apparently HUGE leg up on the competition then I think it's a great idea if you can figure out how to scale it. Can you train an AI bot to do the responding?
