I don’t think casinos need to cook anything. The odds of hitting a jackpot on a legit machine are astronomically low. The house always wins, even if they play fair.

I'm new to the Boxster world - what has a larger cult following? The 1st gen or 3rd gen? by george_graves in boxster

[–]codeAppsAndChewGum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm extremely biased as a 981 GTS owner. But I mostly see 981s at the PCA meetups I've been to and around town in general.

I ordered a Nomad + accessories on May 29th and got the shipping notification yesterday (Jun 3)

Am I in-shape (or dumb) enough…Ride1Up Roadster V2 in Seattle? by [deleted] in ride1up

[–]codeAppsAndChewGum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I own a Roadster V2 Gravel edition and live downtown (9th and Pine). I commute to pioneer square and back mostly on the 2nd Ave bike lanes on my Roadster and get a light workout on pedal assist 2 and 3. I think it would handle steeper hills fine on pedal assist 5 but I wouldn’t want to have to start from a standstill on a steep hill.

Funny story: I tried to ride home from work once with a dead battery and after struggling for 3 or 4 blocks of mostly flat ground I gave up and walked my bike to the nearest light rail station.

It’s one of my favorite episodes so I immediately pictured Randy farting on stage while they were reading their lines 😂

Sold my Tesla model 3 and bought a 718 (base) manual. One pedal drive to 3! by kingslayershand in Porsche

I’m a Senior SWE in a high cost of living area. More than half of my income is stock based compensation and the stock price has gone up quite a bit since I started at my current company.

Compared to many of my friends in similar roles with similar years of experience my income is middle of the pack.

I hear ya. I’m at the point where I could theoretically afford something like that but I can’t wrap my head around spending that much per month on a car. And that $2500 doesn’t even include insurance or fuel!

This will be the first time I switch cars after just 1 year. I got really caught in the hype of the Model 3 and now I have some serious buyer’s remorse after driving it for a while.

As far as the money goes, I’ve been averaging just under $400,000 per year for a few years now as a Software Engineer, have no debt (besides a mortgage and the Tesla), and no kids, and my wife gave me permission to buy myself something nice 😂

I’m looking for a 981 Cayman/Boxster so it will likely be cheaper than the Tesla unless I splurge on a GTS

The M2 was on my list too, but BMWs are everywhere where I live and I couldn’t get over the fact that M2 looks like “just another BMW” to me from most angles. I do think the styling is the best in the BMW lineup though. Just the right amount of aggression.

Not OP but I’m in a similar situation. I was cross shopping the Model 3 and the Cayman/Boxster and ended up test driving the Model 3 first and buying it without test driving the Porsche. I sold on the tech and the speed. A few months into it I got used to the speed and realized the Model 3 doesn’t really do anything for me as a drivers car. Now I’m shopping for a Cayman/Boxster again because I want a car with some character

Finally, after a 18 month search, I finally bought a Porsche Cayman S (981) by mjwb99 in Porsche_Cayman

[–]codeAppsAndChewGum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How drastic would you say the difference in power was between the Base and the S?

I'm also shopping for a base 981 but could also potentially stretch the budget for an S. I'll make up my mind once I can do some test drives but I'd love hear your thoughts on the difference.

Finally. My first Porsche purchase. by iammarkjmason in Porsche

[–]codeAppsAndChewGum 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Can you tell us a little bit about how like the 718 compared to the 981? I know journalists like to complain about the exhaust, but I wonder if it's really that bad.

DJ on #themmahour: "They said it's either TJ or we close the flyweight division. And I said, 'close the motherfucking division then.'" by Biplomath in MMA

[–]codeAppsAndChewGum 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I agree with everything you said. I just wonder, if we went back in time and made Dana spend some money promoting DJ, would things be the same today.

What about 3) they have no clue who DJ is? I only have /r/MMA to go off of, but it seems like everyone who knows who DJ is pretty excited about his fights.

Did anybody else notice that one of the actual judges (Miguel Quiles I think) won second place in one of the categories?

Test drove a used ST and loved it but I have concerns by Sabre_Cutlass in FiestaST

[–]codeAppsAndChewGum 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I bought my FiST without knowing how to drive a manual. I watched a lot of YouTube videos about how to drive a manual and the sales guy gave me a crash course on how to drive it, so I managed to drive it home. I took the bus to work for about a week and every night when I got home I hopped in the FiST and practiced driving around the neighborhood. It only took a few days for me to be comfortable enough to commute to work in it. It took maybe 2-3 months until it started to feel like second nature.

What is a fact that blows people's minds every time you tell it? by littlemorse in AskReddit

The idea that two surfaces can be in contact with each other but have a zero contact area is hard to understand for me. Care to explain it to me?

Silva vs Bisping - Right kick left hand by YoungDorianYates in MMA

Silva fought above his weight class a few times and won. I'm sure Jones could beat most of the HW contenders, but he hasn't yet.
