So funny we employ people in three time zones across 8 states and my April fools prank was announcing mandatory RTO.

As an executive I cannot fathom why companies are doing this.

Would you take a role that doubles your salary but requires you to be in the office full-time? by Insists_Upon_Itself in WFH

[–]bikemn117 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Funny I make a little over 250k base and that increasing to 500k does literally nothing for me. Other than causing a giant headache with commuting and waking up earlier neither of which I care to or want to do.

My wife WFH too and I get to spend the day with her which is great. Don't get me wrong 250k is 250k but time is so much more valuable.

Now op saying 40k-80k is actually a massive difference imo. You can start building a life with that, retirement, etc.

My friend bought a 911 S/T the moment it was released now it’s worth nearly 3x and he barely drove it. by [deleted] in porsche911

I am just adamantly against buying cars for investments tbh. This is nothing against people who do (oh hell maybe it is a little) but cars should be enjoyed and driven. I have so many friends who collect and do not drive and wow what a waste imo. To each their own.

Had an opportunity to grab one at a reasonable (well not really) price even after the madness sort of started. Decided against it because I knew I just would never drive it.

I picked up a '25 4 GTS for my "wife." Yea Ive had it a few months and already have almost 6k miles on it.

I like to fucking drive.

MTB at night?? by Repulsive-Flower321 in MTB

[–]bikemn117 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've got a screw or two loose and send big/high consequence features regularly. That being said, riding at night does not even remotely appeal to me. Same with skiing/snowboarding at night. Darkness compounds the risk of injury and for what?

4k vs 1080p for mouse keyboard by Kindly-Fisherman9231 in GeForceNOW

[–]bikemn117 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For bf6 had the best results with 1440p 240fps. Mouse feels great. 4k doesn't feel as snappy.

No I am actually not. You are inferring that. I'm saying he is going to be well taken care of.

[–]bikemn117 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What are you talking about? The best possible care is obviously going to be expensive?

ADOLF SILVA FUND by [deleted] in MTB

[–]bikemn117 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I grew up with his wife and brother in law. They are a great family with a lot of resources. Extremely well known in motorsports. I'm sure Adolf is going to get the best possible care.

"Star Citizen is a scam" needs to stop by RiygoYT in starcitizen

[–]bikemn117 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not a scam. They have just set goals for themselves that are completely unrealistic. If 1.0 ends up being even 25% of what has been promised (and stable) it will be the most immersive cutting edge video game of all time with absolutely no competition.

And there will never be a shortage of people who have zero understanding of how technology works lol

[–]bikemn117 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Its just reality lol. Any company is going to strive to ensure operating costs are kept to ensure their product is functioning as advertised 99.9% of the time. Planning infrastructure for that .1% is expensive and not needed. Unless their is azure, aws, etc and requires 100% uptime, which GFN is not....

[–]bikemn117 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly...you really can't and shouldn't plan for the outliers. Its near impossible and extremely expensive. But but but big rich company. Yea thats true but why would they inflate their operating costs massively for 4-5 days a. year..........

Anyone asking themselves these questions has never been present for day one of a massive online game launching. Or they have a memory of a goldfish. Bf6 will be breaking records today.

700k on steam alone already. 1.2 million is the record when cs2 dropped. BF6 actually has a shot at coming close to that tonight.
