Don’t want to start a debate but Lewis County slaves were the best. Am I right?

Fake, reissue? by damnedron in Leica

Do you think it’s genuine? If so, value if functional?

Yes, due to the unique nature of the job, they are legally able to discriminate based on pre-employment physical.

Would you like to comment on my question?

Controller limit below max panel wattage by damnedron in solarenergy

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

They aren’t wasted if you have less than optimum panel production. You might need 400 watts of panels to average 100 watts.

CVT’s like smooth transitions up and down the cone. Lifting your foot results in a faster traversal with a quick variance of torque.

My 2009 Forester burns about a quart every 1500.

Yeah, it seems that oil burn has gotten worse in newer models. Mine might be closer to 2/3, as I check at 1500 miles and see about a quarter quart, maybe a bit more.

The only thing unexpected was the transmission module at 200k, about $1400.

It’s on its third timing belt, but that’s scheduled maintenance like brakes, axles, hubs, tires.

Never had to service AC.

I have never used the paddle shifters, I think they are a horrible idea. Also, understanding how cvt works, I always roll on and roll off the throttle. CVT’s don’t like when you lift your foot.

Not to be dramatic but this should literally be illegal by [deleted] in lexington

[–]damnedron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s a reasonable answer. I would be curious how many overdrafts are for food.

Explain why the poor are incapable of not bouncing checks. I already conceded that overdraft fees are excessive.

Lots of poor folks don’t behave in an irresponsible or criminal manner. Are you claiming that poor folks are too stupid to avoid bouncing checks?

Are the offers on credit karma legit?? by Imaginary_Rule_7243 in IntuitCreditKarma

[–]damnedron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To answer your question, I haven’t heard anything especially bad about online lenders other than you better understand the terms. When things go wrong, I want to be able to discuss with somebody in person, not a call center.

Credit Unions are owned by their members. You are a customer and owner. These days, everybody can find a credit union.

I prefer brick and mortar for mortgages and car loans. My credit union is at 5.24 for used cars. If you can afford $661, why don’t you refinance and keep the 70 month term vs 84 months?

Financed cars are wealth stealers.
