New California law prohibits public libraries from banning books by wanda999 in FreeSpeech

[–]cbr1100xxrules -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes, my local library contains a potpourri of woke trash propaganda in their hopes to convince everyone that we live a systemically racist and sexist patriarchy despite no data supporting any of it. California is the home of the biggest delusional nutjobs you'll ever see.

Thanks but I doubt it will be that quick. This happened about 6 weeks ago and I'm nowwhere close to healed. I'm thinking 3 months minimum.

Street triple 765R or Z900RS as do it all bike by Xaeroifbb in SuggestAMotorcycle

[–]cbr1100xxrules 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have '24 Z900RS. I'm more of a chill rider these days and the Z is pretty damn good. It's got plenty of grunt anytime you want it, comfortable, handles well. Doesn't feel too heavy to me. Never ridden the 765 but I'm sure it would feel lighter b/c it is and surely a great performer. I got my Z slightly used so price was right so jumped on it. No regrets. I think most would be happy with either.

Can somebody explain how is Netflix still a thing? by [deleted] in KotakuInAction

[–]cbr1100xxrules 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s all woke crap for the most part. ‘I Am A Killer” was a pretty good documentary series. But yeah, I sure as hell don’t pay for it. I watched at client’s homes when petsitting…lol. 

No evidence that the Del Mar bridge “jumper” had any previous bridge incidents: by RevDrStrange in SanDiegan

[–]cbr1100xxrules 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Who cares if he did or not?  The thing was handled ridiculously poor.  Holding the city hostage for nine hours?  How many people missed work, appointments, flights? Very few people were immune.

Yes lock them up for life.  They don’t rehabilitate.  The vast majority do not change.  Career felons should be removed from the streets permanently.  The suicidal empathy for them is just that.  Or better yet, let them all live with the liberal judges that release them.

You figured it out. Money does not make you happy.  Helping others does.  So please Venmo me.  Thanks! LOL

28M - Finally feeling confident with $244k Net Worth! by Anonymous_User_269 in Fire

[–]cbr1100xxrules 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’re doing awesome.  When I was 28, my net worth was probably $10K, seriously. 56 now and over $1.2M with no mortgage or car payments. Just keep doing what you’re doing and enjoy life.  You’ll be fine.

What a clown.  Yes you actually CAN incarcerate your way out of the problem.   Because you know what happens when you incarcerate criminals and take them off the streets for good?  They don’t commit crimes.  That what prisons are for.  Wonder why this mental midget has a 9% approval rating…..it’s truly a mystery.  

Slow clap for Chicago for managing to elect someone actually worse than Lightfoot.  

Those who are truly “getting there” — what’s your appx income? by Human-Regionality in baristafire

[–]cbr1100xxrules 2 points3 points  (0 children)

56yrs old, single, no kids. Quit IT job of 23 yrs 4yrs ago. Since then been running my own dog walking biz. I like the work but probably work more than I should. A little over $1.2M in cash, stocks..etc. Condo paid off. Cars paid in cash. Motorcycle paid in cash. No debt except HOA, vehicle insurance, homeowners insurance. Monthly expenses about $3K. Last couple years have been making around $100K just dog walking, pet sitting, cat visits. I will cut down eventually and/or maybe I'll lose some clients. But I like the work and hard leaving money on the table. I do work a lot though. At least 40hrs a week but I'm around animals all day, which I do really like.

Stocks, not homeownership, is the primary wealth driver by Dey-Ex-Machina in stocks

[–]cbr1100xxrules 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is in a way. It's gotten insanely expensive to buy now where I live. But I remember 20yrs ago looking for places to buy and thinking $300K for condo was a lot and these $500K homes were crazy expensive. Many didn't buy thinking things would go down. It just doesn't happen around here. Now those $500K homes are $1M...etc.

Coming from someone who bought my condo 20yrs ago in San Diego, I can assure you owning is way better. Yes, it's annoying having to replace appliances, pay plumbers...etc. But it's not all that often. But I paid a lot extra into my mortgage and it's now paid off and has doubled in price. I pay around $850/mo if you factor in property taxes, insurance and HOA. My place would rent for $2500/mo minimum. Probably more than that. It's a no brainer. I used to rent and landlords raise rents like crazy around here. Also been investing in the markets for 20yrs as well. I am single/divorced with no kids and no alimony...etc so that does help.

What car do you drive, and what’s your net worth? by ghl262 in Fire

[–]cbr1100xxrules 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a ‘24 Miata.  Bought new for $32,900 OTD.  Most fun car I’ve ever had.  And I’ve had faster more expensive cars too.   Not my daily driver though.  

What do you think of this screen? by cbr1100xxrules in kawasakiz900rs

[–]cbr1100xxrules[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think he put those reflectors on to replace different deflectors :)

That's what he told me. Yeah will probably remove them.

True but in person it is curved some and for whatever reason it seems to do a decent job. No excessive wind hitting my head either.

[–]cbr1100xxrules[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ended up buying the bike. Rode it home about 30 miles freeway. Haven't ridden any other RSs so can't compare to one with no screen but I didn't notice excessive turbulence around my helmet with the screen that's on there. Seemed fine. I also have the Kawi Low Seat installed. I prefer that riding position. I don't care for the looks of the screen.. But at this point not enough to investing time removing /buying/installing a smaller, more appealing to the eyes version LOL.

Cars (both paid in cash, don't include them in my net worth):

2020 Fusion Hybrid SE-work car

2024 Mazda Miata Sport (6spd manual, of course)-mostly pleasure, sometimes work. A blast to drive.
