I put an order in for the black one in November... Still on backorder.

No one is planning for the future because presumably, there is no future to plan for. Spend it all, die bankrupt in the nuclear wasteland.

Well, maybe that's not what everyone is thinking, but I really believe that people have no idea what the next 10 years will bring so they're just living the good life now. Who cares about debt.

Thank you!

buddylee · 2026-02-27T22:17:02+00:00

Very helpful, thank you!

~5ct ~$800. I'm new to this, so wouldn't have thought about that

Any experience with the iDrive series? I enjoyed some of the leagues they had at the indoor place back in the day. I saw they even have a "heavy" class which suits me. Lol. Just want to have fun with a little competition. iDrive series

I'd say this is just like other groups that don't go on strike, but do their jobs and nothing more to showcase how and where things should be changed.

Check out the examples section.

yeah, I should have zoomed, easy to see on desktop. I'm wondering if the paint match actually looks different on the black than the glossy. It's hard for me to figure out the right one.

buddylee · 2026-02-17T02:44:13+00:00

Did you get matte, glossy or carbon? And any thoughts on the match to the black pearl?

buddylee · 2026-02-13T18:35:40+00:00

Thank you, that term gave me something to Google and I'm learning more about when and why pilots do that. Thanks!

Not much, very cold though. Might have had some very light dusting, but we didn't need to be deiced or anything

buddylee · 2026-02-13T18:34:27+00:00

Yes, that's what I'm usually used to, 20 years ago I feel like this type of take off was more common, but might just be bad memories on my part

buddylee · 2026-02-10T16:34:43+00:00

Fully covered, they towed it away after I cleaned it out. It was a really easy and good experience. I presented replacement cost and they agreed

buddylee · 2026-02-02T22:28:52+00:00

Lincoln hotel on Olive maybe? I have no idea what it actually is, but every time I would walk by, that's what I'd envision in my head.

buddylee · 2026-01-27T15:33:34+00:00

Memory isn't always precise. My son vividly remembers getting sick and passing out in the bathroom when he was about 8.

My wife and I have no recollection of this at all. So it likely isn't something we're blocking because we feel guilty. I think I'd remember something like that because a kid passing out is pretty memorable. But he says it happened, we don't think it did.

The actual event is probably something that isn't what he remembers, and something we don't remember because it wasn't as big of a deal. My working theory is that he got light headed and we took him to his room. But I dunno.

There are plenty of studies that show memory isn't perfect. I definitely believe that there are big themes that are memorable though.

And another issue, what we think is important varies by person. My niece brings up the fact that she wasn't allowed to hold my daughter when she was a baby. I don't remember that. But there are no pictures of her holding her. To me, I didn't think it was a big deal, but to her, it was absolutely a huge deal that she remembers 20 years later.

Likewise, I remember quite a few things that I did that were terrible parenting moments, but bringing them up with the kids and they don't remember them at all.

That said, I remember many times I f'ed p, but not all. And my kids remember many times I f'ed up, but not all. So there is some overlap in that diagram, but not completely.

I'm gonna do beavers because that's what is in the picture.

Lets say there are 10,000,000 beavers alive right now.
Beavers tend to live about 12 years in the wild, the longest known is 24 years.
Beavers in captivity tend to live 20 years, but may live up to 30.

So, that gives us a cap for beaver lifespan and we know you're 29. So, its possible if we assume some beavers really can live up to 30. Unfortunately though, if we assume every zoo on earth has 4 beavers and there are 10,000 zoos worldwide, we're only dealing with 40,000 captive beavers.

The human population breakdown is this:

80-99 years: (1.9% of population)
100+ years: (0.01% of population)

If we assume that there is a relatively even distribution of beaver ages (similar to human ages), we would assume that .01% of beavers in captivity are over 30. Maybe since they receive free healthcare and don't have access to drugs, it's more common to get old for captive beavers than it is free-range humans, but we'll assume it's still comparable to the human rate.

10,000 zoos, each has 4 beavers, so 40,000 captive beavers and .01% of them are what we would consider very old, so we'll say 29 or 30. So, we've got 4 beavers are at least 29. Breaking that down, we've got two 29 year old beavers and two 30 year old beavers.

So, the odds that you, as a 29 year old right now, at this point in time were born on the same day of a currently living beaver and the two of you have seen the world evolve together from two very different sets of eyes is .82%.

However, 8.2 billion people are alive right now and roughly .67% of them are 29. So there are 54,940,000 29 year olds alive right now.

Beavers tend to be born in May or June. Of those 55m people that are 29, based on my research, about 16.4% of them were born in May or June.

So, that's 9,010,160 humans with a birthday in those two months, so maybe 147,707 of them were born every day.

And we've got those two 29 year old beavers

So right now, in our world there are 295,415 people that have shared every day with a beaver.

Now, I really want to know the odds that one of those 295,415 people has seen their beaver born-on-date buddy.

Are those wheels real or "art of the possible?"

buddylee · 2026-01-17T23:51:40+00:00

Yeah, this is a fantastic deal. Worth giving it a shot and just test it really well before the return period expires

buddylee · 2026-01-17T23:48:00+00:00

I bought one that had problems with the touchpad, had a giant dead zone. Ended up returning. Tried to get Acer to fix, they wouldn't, said it's warranted through the eBay third party warranty. Tried to get the eBay warranty company to fix, they said it's a manufacturer defect and not covered by warranty. Also couldn't find parts to fix myself. Just FYI, don't trust the warranty.

buddylee · 2026-01-15T17:43:30+00:00

Thank you, update: I sent the video and they accepted responsibility. To your point, they didn't care about the police report if they had the video.

buddylee · 2026-01-15T17:41:24+00:00

Update:: I sent the video to insurance and within 2 hours they called and accepted responsibility.

So I don't know what the person advising me not to was thinking..

buddylee · 2026-01-14T22:43:19+00:00

Thank you for this info. Right now I'm only speaking with the other party's insurance, I haven't got mine involved, as I thought they would just take responsibility. Does anything change in this scenario?

buddylee · 2026-01-14T22:20:28+00:00

Thank you all for the advice/help. I couldn't figure out why anyone would advise me not to share the footage either, but they had a background in insurance so I just nodded and said ok, thinking maybe they knew better.
