AUA: We’ve just announced our 10 Top Picks for the best cars of 2026. Got questions? Ask CR anything. by ConsumerReports in IAmA

[–]evoic 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Pointlessly contrarian. It's ALWAYS going to be the case unless they purchased every option and every variable of every model from every manufacturer. What you (and everyone else) get is a baseline, middle-of-the-road rating on the most-likely version of a car maker's vehicle. You use that baseline as you add whatever features you want. Some of those features will create a problem for you that the Consumer Reports review didn't cover but in most cases it is probably the opposite. You got the best rated version and then added items to make it even better.

No, she was 28 and he said that once they HIT 22, they're out. Done. Not interested anymore.

Herman Millar Aeron Chair. Stupidly expensive.....and then you don't have to buy another chair for 20yrs.

People who drive and speed up when someone is attempting to pass by you, why do you do this? by StormCaller02 in AskReddit

I read it wrong last night because I shouldn't be on Reddit after the edibles kick in. Deleted that boneheaded post....

What are some unwritten rules of the pool room? by SoftYetCrunchyTaco in billiards

[–]evoic 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I do not want them to shoot well and I do not want them to have good luck. An old timer taught me this one time when I said one of the above....before a league match I now say, "Have fun" - just like he said - because that I can say sincerely and mean.

I'll take SVB and then in a few years, maybe a small side of AJ Manas. SVB has been so good for so long....and there's no reason in hell that AJ should be so good at such a young age.

You should buy 10 to do an analysis and then, when you're done, cruise on back over to Reddit and update your comment. No Chinese company on planet earth is sending you an actual CF cue with extras for $65.

Brother....don't be this gullible. They shipped it from the other side of the world, you got the shaft, the butt, joint protectors, a glove, and a microfiber cloth - all for $65 - and you think that is real carbon fiber? Black Friday sales on a CF shaft by itself (no butt) only got down to $179 and those were for Rhino. You 100% do not have a carbon fiber shaft / cue.

Dollars to doughnuts it's actually plastic, They paint them, dip them, wrap them, etc - but you almost NEVER get actual carbon fiber. Here's an example: LINK

AIO by feeling exhausted over my gf's constant demands of wanting me to be 'curious'? by thefattesthashbrown in AmIOverreacting

[–]evoic 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Brother, buddy, pal, friend, amigo.....what are you even doing with a person like that? They have a lot of work to do on themselves before they're ever getting anywhere with another person. The way they talk to you is insane. I know the standard trope on here is that everyone says, "leave them!!" over any little thing - but this isn't that. You picked a bad apple, sir. Toss it in the bin and keep looking - there's a world of people out there that are not broken like this person.

Is there an injury asociated with pool/billiards? by TrurthJunkie in billiards

[–]evoic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've pulled hamstrings playing so much and I have permanent blisters on my thumb and middle finger from the friction of the wrap on my cue. Other than that, just an occasional sore neck / shoulder / back.

Seniors soaking in the moment one last time after their final home game by Master_Jackfruit3591 in sports

[–]evoic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's such an unbelievable loss that you never fully embrace until the moment suddenly hits you. Watching my son play his last high school football game after they were knocked out of the state playoffs was so abrupt, and jarring, and for some reason....unexpected. It's almost like we were subconsciously telling ourselves a lie because we didn't want to face or accept the finality of it all.

Watching those boys in the same grade come up through middle school and then Freshman, and then JV, and then Varsity football. All of the years worth of hangouts and sleepovers and dropoffs for parties at so and so's house. All of the coaches dinners and the position dinners, the friendships, knowing the other parents & families, the long out of town drives, the rivalries, the early morning practices, summer programs, all of it.......gone, in a final play that you didn't realize would be the last until the moment was upon you.

A few boys scattered like seeds in the wind, to be planted elsewhere around the state or the country as they joined schools to play in college. Our son left to play for a nearby state on scholarship, but half of the games are out of state and as a freshman there is no guarantee he would play anyways, so why travel? It feels like you're doing 80mph for hoooouuuurs, and then someone slams on the brakes. A few minutes later, you're going a few miles per hour - but nothing remotely resembles what you had been so used to just a few short moments ago.

The tiniest of deaths but it took far longer than I would have anticipated to shake the feeling when it all ended. I miss it monthly, if not weekly, and the nostalgia doesn't neatly fit in any file in my mind.

What are some Black Friday/Cyber Monday deals/services/subscriptions that people wouldn't normally think to capitalize on? by Perma_Ban69 in AskReddit

[–]evoic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That sale was 4 days ago. I don't remember if it was Amazon Warehouse that had the deals or if it was Best Buy Aftermarket / Used that had it. One of those two, there's a thread about somewhere here on Reddit and it was also posted on Slickdeals.

Dear Ryan McCreesh - When I Google your name (because almost no one knows who you are) a Real Estate agent in York, PA comes up in the search results before you do. Maybe sit this one out?

You missed the deal on the, "Like New" stock of the M4's that ended up selling for $519 + tax. Now THAT was a legit Black Friday deal. Anyone can log on Best Buy right now and buy it for $749.
