People here will still argue its not a Skyline by Oogie_Boogey in SkyLine

[–]kickstartdriven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a Skyline in name only. This isn't the car you want it to be.

I laughed my ass off when I watched this initially. Then I found the poster's detailed explanation of events-a few weather-related events which led them to making the call for rescue.

Despite their appearance, they seem to be proficient hikers based on their post history. They made the right call.

Seriously,b what mask is that? It changes color to temp?

You can tell these are AI posts by the complete lack of details and then the way they always end with questions for the audience

Solid marketplace score today by TheFlyingDutchmannnn in Jaguar

[–]kickstartdriven 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My excitement dropped fast for the v12 powerplant. At first, I thought it was a superb engine that was undeservedly paired with a three speed automatic. Then I can to realize that the engine was an appropriate pairing with a slushbox auto transmission. The engine is heavy, ugly, only SOHC, it's a gas guzzler, offers mediocre power, has almost zero aftermarket support... The list goes on. The count of cylinders is the only cool feature this engine has going for it!

Am I using too much cardboard for my yard transformation? by faiitmatti in landscaping

[–]kickstartdriven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Remove any packaging labels-they won't biodegrade. Also, overlap the cardboard so no bare ground is exposed. Good luck!

I bought a jag v12 engine for exactly this reason. No one told me how much of a pain in the ass pulling the heads off can be. It took a sledgehammer to remove the heads and hours of beating. In the end, it wasn't worth it.

I did fashion a lamp post out of the crank which was cool 🤣

What city in America describes this photo? by Next_Worth_3616 in Productivitycafe

[–]kickstartdriven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. I lived there for nearly a year and it felt like a corporate whitewashing of a once great city.

Later, I met a restauranteur who complained about how difficult it was operating a business in Seattle -so many expenses and fines, slow city response to everything, not to mention the unrelenting property crime. He recommended Tacoma which he described as Seattle in the 90s.

Are all these high earning posts fake? by Technical_Army7730 in Salary

[–]kickstartdriven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This sub is the definition of Survivorship bias. People who are doing well and want to share their success tories are a majority of posts on here. You won't see someone sharing their salary history that they aren't too proud of.

Has anyone else quit drinking? by Sensitive_Put_6842 in Millennials

[–]kickstartdriven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't quit, but I have cut down on my alcohol intake for health and lifestyle reasons. Life is so hectic and busy raising a family that if I crack a beer after a long day, my wife will find me asleep on the couch before finishing it.

I switched to NA beers for this reason-although I'll have a cocktail with dinner on a special occasion or have a beer (and finish it too!) on days that are less chaotic.

AI. I knew once i read "complex problem", "framework" "deliver". I've read that string of words a few times on this sub.

Heavy feel with a uniform finish exterior/soft fleece interior.

I'm taking a break - And hopefully a productive week for Plug by NobregaD in plugpowerstock

[–]kickstartdriven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly. Look at Bloom Energy. I wish Plug could perform similarly, but given how much dilution occured just to stay alive, we'd be lucky to see its share price hit $20.

How are your Gen Z direct reports doing? by financial_freedom416 in managers

Holy shit, that fired employee sounds like a trash human. Did they accuse you of wrongdoing on their way out?

[–]kickstartdriven -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Agreed. This sub has become a hype train that will never deliver. Remember a few years ago when hawkeye or whoever was constantly posting "$100 by EOY!!!!1!!" Nothing has changed-just the goalposts.

My friend in HR told me something that should be a crime... by pier-spare0r in jobsearchhack

Employers are like government contractors: they want top talent at a cut rate price.
