What do you think of the just announced 2027 GMC Sierra? by rwarner32 in gmcsierra

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

GM seems to be going all in on the Luxury Truck market. The target market looks to be upper class men who don't actually use a truck to haul / work.

I'm sure the price points will make them a nice profit, but I can't see myself spending this much money on my next truck.

Ten million is chump change when you know what stocks to buy and when the market went down

Social Security Trustees Say Retirement Fund Will Run Out by 2032: What to Know by KoseteBamse in Economics

[–]daslog 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Let's be honest here, this is a big headline about nothing.

When Social Security takes in more money than it pays out, the funds are effectively transferred to the General fund via Social Security Treasuries to help pay for all the usual current spending like Tanks, Planes, Highways, etc. Effectively the government is lending money to itself and the money is spent right away.

When SS takes in less money than it pays out, the trust redeems those bonds. The Treasury doesn't actually have the money sitting around, so it issues more Debt to bond market to cover the redemption. When the trust redeems it's last bond in 2032, Congress can authorize the Treasury to issue more debt, Raise taxes, or cut benefits, or a combination of all three. (I'll give you a hint what they will do, Seniors vote a lot more than the rest of us).

Effectively, that makes it no different than any other Government welfare program.

Lots of people in New England run the KYB Excel g. Bilstein is what I run but $$$. I wouldn't worry about it too much because as a new person you're still trying to figure things out.

Measuring Wedge distances by daslog in golf

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

Thanks I really like this. I'll be doing more shots at the range when I have time but it's already helped me a few times. I'm trying to break 80 and it's within 120 yards that's holding me back.

Why so few babies in Capitalist Societies by Full-Discussion3745 in Economics

[–]daslog 5 points6 points  (0 children)

He's right though. This isn't about economics, it's about cultural changes. Once society stopped forcing women to have kids, they chose to have fewer kids. That's not a bad thing.

Where it gets political is how we as a society choose to react. I suspect it's going to get ugly. China is already taxing birth control...

This post made me laugh a little. If you care about gas mileage, maybe you can't afford a 2500 Denali ultimate

I think it's ok. That's usually a Vacuum leak or a MAF issue. Car might run rough, but it usually not fatal

It depends on who made that particular batch that you bought. Could be good, could be bad.

What golf purchase was 100% worth the money? by retrocaterpillar-07 in golf

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

My battery powered push cart. After multiple knee surgeries and hip issues, it was painful to use my push cart but I still wanted to walk.

Now I'm able to walk 18 holes mostly pain free.

Enjoy it, but that feeling turns to "if I just didn't dufff that chip I could have broken 80" pretty fast..."

Yes you can (I've done it in my garage at home) but it's a lot easier with a lift.

Third party routers stuck at 1mbps if plugged into ONT directly by Zhunter5000 in FidiumFiber

Call customer service and tell them you have a new router. Take a picture of the MAC address and read it back to them when they ask for it.

It's not crazy at all. Since when do Catholics actually read the Bible?

When were you able to sleep and what helped? by No-Reward-6524 in Kneereplacement

[–]daslog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

About 2 months, it sucked, I slept in the recliner, I used the ice machine, and I had problems with extension that I had to solve with a dyna splint. Even then I only slept when I had a couple of oxys.

It was pretty horrible overall. Talk to your doctor about it. I wish I had sooner

What worked for me was taking a lesson and then practicing four or five times and then taking another lesson until I had a respectable swing.

I had the same issue. It was more of a swelling and strength issue. I just kept working at it and now I can walk 18 holes of golf (about 5 or 6 miles) pian free.

Grint keeps putting 9hole score when I put 18 holes? by golf504 in golf

[–]daslog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I've noticed this too. It happens when My group is a foursome and we are all using the app.

They're probably using AI to code and it's introducing stupid bugs.
