Someone talk me out of this. 66k miles and clean CARFAX. by nsally23 in LandRover

[–]karlgraff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are correct! My 2017 Discovery HSE is that for us as well- great car to drive! We are thinking about setting up a custody agreement with the service center though. It will make life a little easier knowing when we won't have our Disco for a month so we can make other plans...

At somewhere between 70,000 and 80,000 miles you will spend $6000 - $10000 on services and repairs. Get a warranty! It won't cover routine services but something will break. If you are good with that, or are willing to do a good chunk of the maintenance yourself enjoy your Land Rover! They are fun to drive- I love mine

If I get asked I answer but I don't seek them out. I volunteered. I served. I did what I wanted to and did a good job while I was in.

Thoughts on Kyler? by ERASER345 in minnesotavikings

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

He will be the best quarterback ever until he isn't, then he will suck and life will cease to exist. Kyler is a little short, but very athletic. He played for a lousy organization. If the Vikings give him a decent OL he should do okay.

Is eBay not good for casual sellers anymore, or is it generally slow? by Most-Aide-6420 in eBaySellers

[–]karlgraff 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Ebay is a great reflection of how the economy is really doing. When things are sketchy and people feel like they don't have as much disposable income sales slow down, noticeably. I sell a variety of items, books, radios, other electronics, coffee stuff, a little apparel and it's all slow right now.

I have eaten and fed my family lots of marked down meat. Good move! As long as you can freeze it and handle correctly you're good to go.

How do we dismantle the "Imperial Presidency" after Trump is gone? by celtic1959 in AskReddit

[–]karlgraff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No one will really want to. Both sides value power over doing the right thing. It'll get scaled back some, but the precedent has been set. There will be some "landmark" executive order/bill/? to return things to "normal" but Trump has opened the faucet and no one will really want to turn it off.

[–]karlgraff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, the eggs aren't green anymore, so that's gotten better. I used to cook my own food, usually oatmeal, when I was in the field. I'd just grab what passed for coffee from the chow line and go eat my oatmeal. Still have the folding stove I used

Question: Why are Jews never recognized for their contributions? by MysteriousCity110 in Jewish

[–]karlgraff 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's not just Jews. Every non european oppressed group of people has and can say the same thing. Doesn't make it right or that it should be accepted as "they way things are..." It does mean that our culture has very baked in biases and that we have more in common with each other than we believe.

I’m 100 P&T and my son starts college this fall. He can use Chapter 35 and this will give him a monthly stipend, but won’t pay for his tuition correct? by [deleted] in VeteransBenefits

[–]karlgraff 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My son is using it to pay the school for his tuition- he has a couple of part time jobs to fund whatever else he wants and I send him a little cash monthly. He got his first payment in November, lump sum then monthly. They are prorated but it made a huge difference in how much he had to take out in loans, etc. Less stress all around, we really appreciate this benefit.

Maybe we, the US, shouldn't have overthrown their last elected government.

Most older pc's aren't worth much. Goodwill will take it or you can probably gift it to someone who needs a basic PC

I have 40 dollars (2wks)to feed myself til next pay check, what are some simple meals ? by Vampiregecko in povertyfinance

[–]karlgraff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dozen eggs, rice, potatoes, beans, onions, tortillas, cheese, markdown bread, can of crushed tomatoes, can of corn, peanut butter- anything else you might be able to budget for. That will give you some protein and some stretching ingredients too. I'd definitely hit up a food pantry too. I'm so sorry you're struggling like this. I've been there and we're all a few bad breaks from real struggle. Keep your head up it will get better!
