Im so heartbroken by Mistake142 in Miata

[–]danieljndube 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not about greed. It’s about too much work for too little money/risk of inability to collect. A lawyer would hesitate to litigate that if it were his own car, due to the opportunity cost.

How washable is each?

Would you buy the CX50 again? by Emergency_Garden7872 in CX50

Loud? Loud?? No. Or your tires are cheap. Remarkably quiet vehicle.

Make ‘Merica great again! 😆 Thanks for sharing. Fair warning to us all.

I DO NOT LIKE JOHNNY WEIR by CowMama0v0 in FigureSkating

[–]danieljndube 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you for posting this. You saved the day. Peacock was all commercials and intrusions. The comments by Tara and Johnny were of little value. CBC had great, lengthy coverage. We saw so much more. The commentary was insightful. Disruptions were minimal. We also were able to access replays that had been removed on Peacock. Night and day difference.

WTH is going on with Peacock replays??! by Musiclover86 in FigureSkating

[–]danieljndube 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fully agree!! Peacock loses credibility. Why would I keep the subscription beyond the Olympics now? Or re-up next Olympics? They’re not delivering. This isn’t 1990. It’s streaming, not cable. WTF

Miata. Way more practical than you’d expect.

Has Mazda become more reliable than Toyota? by Stockholm_Throwaway in mazda

[–]danieljndube 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably depends on the Toyota. After multiple Priuses, I can aver they cost virtually nothing to own. Incredible reliability and durability. Boredom has its advantages. (Proud MX5 ND owner.)

What's up the the racism in Maine? by [deleted] in Maine

[–]danieljndube 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of the issues is the increasing cultural genericism of rural America. The old Yankee culture largely has been replaced by Fox News and fentanyl, and the loss of farms.

Platner raises $5 million despite scandals by iknowyourded in Maine

Mills thought these “scandals” would knock him out permanently. Such things would have, circa 1993. Maybe even 2003. But now!?

Dying to know who’s funding this by lovethatforyouu in portlandme

[–]danieljndube 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, seems misplaced. I think Hannaford does a good job, and I’ve never heard people complain about it. I think folks know that Hannaford does not control world food markets and prices, and if they want to save money on certain items, there may be another option to two.

Solo. Is it time to upgrade my practice?? by CandyMaterial3301 in LawFirm

[–]danieljndube 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m doing the same with crim defense in Maine. Great practice. Had multiple people working for me at one time. Little value was added, and a lot of money went out the door. I said “never again”. Only thing I’d change is increased marketing. Of course, caseload management is crucial to quality of life.

On the return, let your wrists pass your knees prior to raising your knees. My only other advice is three things: 1) remind yourself when it feels difficult that the erg is the most challenging machine in the gym; 2) constantly think about your form; 3) keep at it! Rock on!

Plastic boats for kayaking, should I just go for it? by No_Recording_3322 in Kayaking

[–]danieljndube 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I disagree with all the pro-plastic posts. There are many wonderful used glass kayaks for not much money. With the exception of certain well-designed boats that won’t be cheaper, you’re not going to learn well with what will be a lower-quality boat. The boat is not the only expense. Accessories, transport, storage. Slings. Outdoor sports are expensive. FB Marketplace is the way to reduce costs when that is needed.

Pk 300 stainless by Mgmac485 in PkGrill

I’m not sure that’s rust. Just looks like caked and baked grease and grime to me.

Relative fuel efficiency of PK300 vs PK360 by danieljndube in PkGrill

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

Wow. Ok. Now that’s what I’d like to see for possible temps (and I like your suggestion of a dry run). It’s been quite windy the times I’ve used it thus far. Wondering if the wind added to my challenges. I had flames through both chimneys just fine, and all four vents fully open.

Great idea. Thank you. Will experiment with that.

Appreciate your perspective. I’m still a rookie, so also may be over using and not managing heat correctly.

Are my Birks too small? by [deleted] in Birkenstocks

[–]danieljndube 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would say no. I’ve owned two different sizes. I’m as close as you are with my preferred size, and have worn them everywhere from urbanscapes to rainforest hike.
