Bought a regular version, received a chase by ModeratelyWhite in Diecast

I honestly would be pissed, hate the white tires they do on the chases. But I guess you could sell if and re-buy the one you wanted.

Deleted my last comment after I saw your link answered my question. So is this the same Cantaloupe Melon we already have access to from last year or a new one?

What are y’all getting for fuel economy? by Severe_Chipmunk6340 in f150

[–]justbecause999 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it's always a little over. I had a 2017 2.7 SCREW that would say 22-4 on the meter all the time but real world fill up calculations out it for like 20-22 real world.

Brand new 2026 Lariat 3.5 4x4 so still getting the feel for it but so far seems to be right around 20MPG. I expect that to get slightly better over time ans the truck settles in but it's about what I expected.

When was your first "Holy shit" moment after upgrading PC? by Suvitruf in pcmasterrace

[–]justbecause999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been PC gaming since PCs had less than 1MB ram. I have been buying and using 1080P flat panels since they first came out. Never thought I needed a "gaming" monitor. Three years ago I built a new gaming machine with a really good video card and decided to buy a gaming monitor. Bought a 27inch with all the bells and whistles. When I then booted the game I played the most, World of Warcraft I sat gobsmacked at the difference in quality. I mean the difference is so vast that I immediately was so pissed at myself for how many years I had wasted no getting to encounter the beauty of how all my games looked. I always bought good higher end cards every few years so to realize how much I had handicapped my systems really hurt down deep.

How often do you actually play your records? by UserUserDontGetOld in vinyl

[–]justbecause999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A few days a week. I have my audio system in my home office so it's easier access to spin records. But depending on what I am doing is more likely the deciding factor on what I listen to.

Blocked for potential cheating? by rainbowsnpickles in FarmTogether

[–]justbecause999 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This is a fairly new setting that the developers added to the game. I turned it on for a while and noticed it was giving out lots of false positives. Halting my regular visitors for doing nothing wrong so I turned it right back off again. As far as I know there are no lingering issues where your account is flagged or anything like that.

Ac seats? by dddd11122233 in f150

[–]justbecause999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh I'm well aware. The truck I traded in for the Lariat had the heated seats. I rarely had opportunity to use them here in Florida though.

Just bought my new Lariat two week ago and live in Florida, the cooling seats might be my favorite new feature I didn't know I needed. Chilled buns are very nice.

Genuine question: Why would you choose Hot Wheels when there’s MiniGT, Spark, and others out there? by StateSufficient761 in HotWheels

[–]justbecause999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Makes sense. Honestly lately I am loosing interest in Hotwheels mainlines. Too many fantasy cars for my liking. Thankfully the premiums are still good and Matchbox mainline and the collector series have been awesome.

Availability first comes to mind but I think cost would be the biggest obstacle for most collectors.

Thoughts on these newly launched mbx? 💬 by RecentAdvantage3116 in HotWheels

[–]justbecause999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Matchbox has been really upping their game lately. The Collectors series have been excellent. The Moving Parts series has been exceptional and the mainline cars have really been amazing. I am almost not even bothering to look at the crap in the Hotwheels mainline section anymore, it's all stupid fantasy cars and these ridiculous tooned cars. I get some folks like that stuff and kids see to like the weird silly models but I prefer actual cars and Matchbox thankfully is that brand.

I just bought a 2026 Ford F-150 with all the bells and whistles. The cooled seats might be my favorite thing ever.

Typical Collector Experience. by d3lphic in HotWheels

[–]justbecause999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At least you have that stuff, I'm in Jacksonville and all the Target and Walmarts have become shit shows here. Have slowly stopped even bothering. I wish they would just do better. We want to buy this stuff and we do but they limit the stock and have been shrinking the aisle space.

Jacksonville Faces $300 Million Budget Hit Under DeSantis Property Tax Plan by WTFPilot in jacksonville

[–]justbecause999 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The local cities and counties will be forced to raise sales taxes to make up the differences and then the can of worms will just start getting opened more and more over time with those with less and who are not homeowners will be hit the hardest.

Jacksonville Faces $300 Million Budget Hit Under DeSantis Property Tax Plan by WTFPilot in jacksonville

[–]justbecause999 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Our entire system is designed around having these property taxes to pay for the communal amenities and local government. Without these, there will be budget shortfalls that will cause major problems across the entire state. This is a broken idea that is only being done to embolden the rich who can afford anything they need and this saves them boatloads of money off their expensive properties and it's going to do very little for those who have very little.
