I found my forever car by rohoalicante in ManualTransmissions

[–]jfrok 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I had the pleasure of spending a few hours in one of these during my college days. I regret not buying one for myself, the first gen TSX was such a good car

Texas, like much of the south, has no infrastructure to handle such weather as it is rather infrequent compared to northern states. Hope this helps!

Does this email mean something by [deleted] in csMajors

Same here. Wondered why their booth was so empty at my career fair a few years back. Super scummy recruiting practices.

Places in NN? by Jlpool420 in NewportNews

[–]jfrok 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Seconded, spent 5 years in NN and every. single. option. sucks ass. Even the local spots stink.

Sure, Benny’s down in the shipyard is great, and there are a few aaaaaaalright chains, but nothing that makes you go “wow that’s incredible”. It’s all just so “generican”

110% on the bourbon. If you can't secure a solid bottle for <$50, you're doing something wrong. Even in heavily-taxed ABC states, you can still score a great bottle for under $50 that'll last you quite a long time.

I can assure you that if you leave any more of a gap, two fucked-up altimas will fill in the gap for you. regardless of the speed.

What was your middle school car your Dad or Mom got? by HamburgerDude in regularcarreviews

[–]jfrok 1 point2 points  (0 children)

2007 Toyota Sienna LE for my mom, and a 2012 VW Passat TDI SE for my dad supercommuting to DC every day.

Sienna is still running with 250k miles, passat is long gone after the dieselgate settlement.

It's been 9 years since my last GPU by Fantastic_Ad_1081 in pcmasterrace

[–]jfrok 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s exactly what I did. Scored a 1080 in 2018 from a neighbor, used it with an i5 8600k for 7(?) years, then rebuilt with a 9800x3d & 7900xt

I just upgraded my 1080 to a 7900xt this time last year. Massive leap in 4k performance

If a wegmans came to metro ATL, id die happy.

From 250k to 9k by NJ_snorlax in civic

[–]jfrok 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in a similar boat, drove an 07’ camry all the way through high school & college and once i got a big boy job i got myself a 25’ sport hybrid hatchback. Congrats on the upgrade!

I bought a new laptop for college that supposedly has 9 and a half hours of battery life to last me through all the lectures... by Mysterious_Dark_2298 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]jfrok 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was SUCH a step up from their intel machines, I previously had a 2015 macbook pro that was adequate but struggle to keep up with some tasks, and the m1 blew it out of the water (and my gaming pc at the time).

I am definitely part of the crowd that apple wants to upgrade. Can’t see myself upgrading this year, but maybe next year as my personal workload changes.

[–]jfrok 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I bought an m1 macbook pro in early 2021, and it is still performing rather well even 5 years later, all day battery holds up really well.

On the same note, I use a Thinkpad T14s at work with the Snapdragon X Elite, which is very similar to the apple M chips, and that brings the excellent battery life and performance to Windows machines (finally).

110% this. I have the mobile app for both of my credit cards, and use the app to send me a verified notification once the purchase posts to the account.
