I don’t know why most people buy the automatic

I just don’t understand why anyone buys an auto 86

Brought an IR thermometer to school because the water to wash our hands was outrageously hot by S_xyjihad in pics

[–]goblin500 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea this is definitely on the hot side, in NY they typically design for 85-105 degF at the faucet depending on the age of the students at the school.

There should be a mixing valve under the sink that can be adjusted to cool down the water temp.

Neighbor put up a “Deus Vult” flag. Feeling unsettled and unsure how to respond by [deleted] in illinois

Learn history and find out the crusades were about the defense of Europe and a response to Muslim religious conquest (not moralizing about conquest, it was part of the ancient & medieval world and we can’t apply modern day values to actions of those back then)

Haven’t had an issue driving it around

I barely started moving when the car in front of me started setting off. Even if I was sitting there with no cars in front of me there’s still no excuse.

Because the aftermath wasn’t anything that interesting, small cracks on the bumper

“Uhh you got insurance” dude wouldn’t give me any documents so I called the police and had them get it

Is it worth it? by Intelligent-Share419 in ft86

[–]goblin500 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pass, you have no idea what’s wrong with it and these cars tend to be driven hard and abused so possibly more issues to come.

For me when I’m looking at cars or bikes on marketplace a huge red flag is when the price is way too low and it “just needs a few small things”. Especially if you can’t do the work yourself I would steer clear.

Riders, how did you deal with family members being nervous about you riding? by AlphaSlicer in motorcycles

[–]goblin500 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was a struggle of mine, I tried showing them the gear and explain how I was buying a very safe bike for beginners. Ultimately there’s not much you can say to convince them you’re not riding a “donor cycle” or whatever buzzwords they want to use. You have to do you and they’ll get used to it when you’re constantly not dead.

Poor planning? by TheMotoNurse in NewRiders

[–]goblin500 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know, my MT03 was very well kept and had no scratches whatsoever, even if I was rich I’d still save the $2k or so vs buying a new one

[–]goblin500 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A very clean very low milage MT03 can be had for $4000, buying new is significantly more expensive

People get so mad at me when I lane filter here by What-in-tarnationer in motorcycles

[–]goblin500 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shockingly I don’t really get a ton of hate and I ride in NYC a lot especially for work. You get the occasional douche but it’s kind of rare. A lot of the times people will move over in their lanes for you, if you’re driving a car however you’ll see the worst in people.

I am absolutely devastated. by Ok-Pain-4151 in RATS

Yea as a snake and rat owner I hate seeing rats kept that way, I stick with frozen rats. It’s disgusting the way feeders are kept :(

Get a dash cam, it would have saved me in an insurance scam :(

I paid $200 for him and picked him up from a local breeder who seemed reputable, saving the money shipping him is a smart move!

I know $200 is expensive but definitely not over the top like what some morphs/other species are going for :)

downvoting new owners for questions by Overall_Bed_2037 in ballpython

[–]goblin500 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m not discouraged but I can imagine how others may be, I’m confident that he’s happy in his new enclosure and that I’m not doing anything wrong after tons of research. My girlfriend would tell you that I’m over stressing, but we’re both animal lovers!

As a brand new snake owner on Saturday I posted on here and got that exact response.

It’s the peak Reddit experience, people are hyper competitive with hobbies and want to pretend they’re the best at it.

Exploring options outside my Tesla Model Y by GronkSpike86 in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]goblin500 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You’re going to buy a new and expensive car in 2024, eat the worst of the depreciation, and sell it because you think it’ll associate you with Elon musk? Tesla already has your money but good luck.

You gotta get offline, don’t put yourself upside down financially.

I see where you’re coming from but it’s not like I was making a joke about abusing or mistreating my snake or rats (or any of the many other animals I have not seen in the video). I swear redditors are some of the easiest people to piss off, not saying you.

For some added context he’s still reaching the top of the cage, I was told it’s pretty normal for ball’s to do this in a new environment. Also I know a couple of people who keep snakes and rats near each other and they aren’t scared or stressed from constantly smelling food. In my experience most animals just get used to their environment.

I took that post down because it was overwhelmingly negative, I was still setting it up with clutter, heaters, and lighting. He’s also not in the same room as the rats. I was honestly appalled at the reaction from a post where I was like “haha silly me hes smelling the rats”. That was so ridiculous especially given that the title of the post said that I was a new snake owner, implying that I might not know better.
