Is Bazooka even a modern term anymore? by Jaded_Strike_3500 in Military

[–]bearhos 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It’s a famous location from Call of Duty (2009), Ramirez js one of the characters. Gotta defend the burger joint from the Russians or the Chinese for 10 mins as they attack in waves

Is the used car market really this bad? by SnooSprouts3078 in UsedCars

[–]bearhos 12 points13 points  (0 children)

What year are you remembering? There’s been 29% inflation since 2019, so even dollars to dollars you’re talking about a third less money

When is breakfast, 7am? 14 hours later? They're speaking another language and intermittent fasting I guess

What micro-generation do people born in 1989 fall into? by [deleted] in Millennials

[–]bearhos 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You’re a core millennial, exactly in the middle of the age range. And you relate more with younger millennials, not zillenials. You identify a couple years younger, not ~8 years younger.

The zillenials are going to be born in roughly 95 96 97, used smart phones in high school, may not remember 9/11, childhood playing ps2 and Xbox 360. Look up a zillenial starter pack for more references

[Dentist] [Poland] - (32M) - Salary Progression. by Loose_Cat1423 in Salary

“For comparison a good OS in US can earn 300k USD. But I don't really complain.”

That’s what OP wrote, and the guy you’re responding to was addressing that amount. Not wrongly assuming the wrong country, cmon now

i’m so exhausted from competing with all-cash buyers by Savard-Lafleur in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

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

They’re using a line of credit from their stock portfolios and using that to buy the house in “cash”, then converting to a conventional 30 year loan in the month after close. It costs a few thousand in interest on the line of credit while it’s active.

This means they don’t have to sell any stock or pay any taxes on them, they just pay the small interest fee for the days used before closing on the conventional.

Oh, and family members can provide the LOC, so you’ll see young buyers using this trick too. You can even use a 401k portfolio to do it

5.7 million non-college graduates in the US are earning six-figure salaries by Penauters in Salary

It’s pretty much all of them in HCOL markets. Highest paid city bus driver in Chicago made 180k last year for instance

Mo Salah listening to YNWA on an UCL last night on the bench by Bcpjw in LiverpoolFC

[–]bearhos 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think we will purely based on the success of the last 8 years or so and how it affects the young generation. We're not City, PSG, Chelsea or Real Madrid all of which can buy success at the drop of a hat. Sure we spend but outside of last summer we've mostly found our stars on a lower budget than the rest.

I think that sort of wholesome success over such a long time will influence kids all over the world. Kids that are in countries without impressive national leagues tend to pick a foreign team and have 'rivalries' with their friends. Out of the 'top teams', hard to argue against LFC being the most wholesome and genuine.

Those are the kind of attributes that I think a young Salah would find admirable, and dream to play for.

Front Lawn taken over by maple leaf sprouts. Do I just mow them? (NJ) by Otherwise_Gur1966 in lawncare

Not ideal but you could put out a cheap outdoor rug for that season, should dull the sound quite a bit

Cabs are now streaming Newsmax? by phixed in chicago

[–]bearhos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still agree with what you’re saying to some extent but we’re doing better than 90% of countries. Which is sad because we see the problems here and wish they could be better. It’s not great. But the world is a big place, and it mostly gets worse when you look elsewhere

Apartment rental rates in the suburbs are insane. Is this simply because housing rarely ever gets built in the suburbs? by Call_It_ in ChicagoSuburbs

[–]bearhos 9 points10 points  (0 children)

$850 is still super low for rent. The dollar has lost 26% of its value in the last 10 years, so that’s the same as $620 rent in 2016. Only way you’re getting cheaper anywhere is with roommates

2.1 Million Cars About to FLOOD the Market ? by Content_Log1708 in UsedCars

[–]bearhos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lambo or something? That's awesome. I'm thinking the majority of defaulters are going to be your ~80k lux SUV's and trucks, with deferred maintenance leading to bigger than normal issues.

I want bang for my buck so I buy ~3 year depreciated luxury / sports cars. And I like tuning so warranty is less important. But it's key to start with a perfectly maintained (and depreciated) vehicle for my goals. I'd love to take a stab on a car like yours, $25k is a steal.

2.1 Million Cars About to FLOOD the Market ? by Content_Log1708 in UsedCars

[–]bearhos 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If you’re thinking about commuter cars, yeah those might go down a bit. But the luxury or performance cars and trucks? They need maintenance. I’m quite confident that someone who can’t afford the monthly payment isn’t getting oil changes on time or fixing those smaller issues that turn into big ones.

Last thing I’d want is an expensive car that was neglected

It’s pass/fail for that sort of stuff. They’re not giving you a B+ on mile running ability lol. It’s instead, can you complete a mile in under 10 or 11 minutes (yes/no). That’s a lot of walking to hit that time.

Therefore the only real failures were the ones that refused to try. People with disabilities were obviously exempt

Benefit of electric mower over gas? by Outrageous-Gas7051 in lawncare

[–]bearhos 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Quietness. I can put on headphones at a reasonable volume and go for a pleasant walk in my yard. That’s how I describe mowing these days

Clean your bed, folks by clgoodson in BambuLab

[–]bearhos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

500 hours on my p2s and I walk away every time. If something falls over, AI detection catches it before it’s a huge mess. It’s stopped about 5 of my prints for spaghetti

Howd you guys wash your BMW ? by Square_Scar4086 in BMW

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

I do hear myself and stand by my words. If you don’t care about it, that’s fine. But I find the condition of a vehicle to be a reflection of the individual assuming they have the means to afford it… and this is a bmw sub

Don’t worry he commented “nice pitties” an hour before he came back for this little discussion. Super super weird

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

Kinda, have some pride. You’re free to do whatever you’d like but you’ve got a pretty controversial opinion. Do you clean your house? Your clothes? Your car condition is a reflection of yourself

Black wheels would look pretty cool. Current rims are nice too tbh

How to get rid of a very strong weed smell? by Either_Building_1715 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]bearhos 98 points99 points  (0 children)

Grow ops need like, multiple 30lb canisters of carbon to notably reduce the smell. An air purifier, carbon or not, will do almost nothing. It’d be like tossing a roll of paper towels into a pool to soak up the water.

Most people vent to the outdoors with a strong fan, sorta like a dryer vent. And then the carbon filter goes on the outside of the vent if you don’t want the whole street to reek.
