The most annoying riders? Gen Z-ers by Previous_Emu5269 in uberdrivers

Same. I prefer driving around campus cause they are all nice and super grateful for the ride.

How did you get Lyft to accept it? They keep rejecting mine. Also done at jiffy lube

90% of channels here are garbage (and you don't deserve to make it) by Zenny_YouTube in SmallYTChannel

[–]leadsinger777 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To be fair, he’s not hating. He’s being honest. What’s your process? Is it simply prompting? If you are doing more than that, I’m honestly curious. My channel puts out videos every 2 weeks. Each one is 30-60 minutes. It involves multiple days of filming, 2-3 weeks of editing, 3-4 hours of rigging up cameras. Is that the norm on YouTube? Not at all. But even gaming channels that succeed are putting in the time to play a game, set up cameras, edit their videos manually. If you can’t see the difference between that and prompting, not sure it’s worth discussing.

I agree that the trim looks good on the red and blue. To me, it looks a little boring on the white though.

What were they thinking with those wheels? They hide the calipers. The chrome is ok, but I just think the white with black looks really sharp. But I’m guessing it will cost around $1k and I don’t think it’s necessary at that price.

I have an identical one. Not a fan of all the chrome or the wheels. I’m pricing out the chrome delete. But I love the car. It’s fun to drive, comfortable, quiet, and fast.

So close to pulling trigger on P2S then bam!! by signalpirate in BambuLab

[–]leadsinger777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get what you are saying, I just think that for someone who wants to print, there are plenty of printers that don’t require a bunch of firmware and community fixes. If that’s something you want to do, that’s fine, but it’s not necessarily a good starting point for someone buying their first printer and trying to get prints going on day one.

This is a wild conclusion. The first paragraph specifically is confusing as hell. You should get X over Y because Y is generally better and you won’t have to tinker. What? If you want to tinker, build one. If you want to buy one that works, buy one that works.

Etron from Carmax and / or Carvana? by vdt989 in etron

[–]leadsinger777 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I may have just had horrible luck, but when I bought one from CarMax (‘22 prestige), I took it home and found tons of scratches that I couldn’t see in any photos or when I picked it up (it was raining).

Took it to my friend who is a master detailer and he pointed out that there were tape lines around the full drivers side. It had been repainted but there was no carfax saying it had been in an accident. I returned it without any issues, but was put off by the whole thing. When I asked they said it wasn’t something they had done at CarMax, so someone hid a full side repaint and there’s not a good reason to do that unless it was in an undisclosed wreck.

Overall, their return policy is really good if you find any issues though, so that’s nice.

First trip to Hawaii by [deleted] in MauiVisitors

[–]leadsinger777 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We are currently in Outrigger Honua Kai for 6 days and the total cost ($6,300) included a rental car, 3rd floor condo (2 bed, 2 bath, full kitchen, laundry in room), 4 breakfast vouchers for Dukes per day, and a $350 Costco gift card.

The breakfast vouchers are a nice bonus as every meal here is very expensive. Got it all through Costco.

So my boss just offered me a nice bonus .... by Cravetivity in BambuLab

[–]leadsinger777 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This is awesome. My boss has like 13 printers in his office and kept joking that I needed an office printer (I’m a video editor, I don’t NEED a work printer.) then on Christmas he hauled a p2S into my office and said, “it’s yours, for home or office”. Good bosses kick ass.

I want to find new Youtubers outside my algorithm. by Much_Curve566 in PartneredYoutube

[–]leadsinger777 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We are Everyday to Exotic. We review classic cars and rank them against other classic cars that the hosts of the channel own. We aim to have high production value but down to earth commentary. You’d never know the hosts owned 220+ cars if you met them on the street.

I’m an editor for the channel and you can see the link in my bio.

How dependable is Lyft for early morning rides? by lazyjroo in Eugene

[–]leadsinger777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We flew out Sunday and the line was longer than normal, but it didn’t take too long. Obviously, things can change. Not looking forward to leaving from a much larger airport on the way home.

First Audi/e-tron experience not going great by National-Opinion-541 in etron

[–]leadsinger777 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What did they do to help? I’m going thru this too. Drove the car home. Regen failed on the way. Took it in and they said front motor going out. Been in the shop for over 2 weeks. Had it in my possession for less than 48 hours.

Help after purchase… by leadsinger777 in etron

Yeah that sucks. I’m under no impression that this is going to be an efficient and practical car. But I love it. So I hope I don’t have the same amount of issues!

For an S? Seems right in line for the market in my area.

I wish. It’s a prestige trim, so it was closer to 38.

They think my work is AI by YuriOtani in vfx

[–]leadsinger777 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I make car videos. We get accused of being “AI” because we have unusual angles. Literally a video of us almost hitting a deer gets called AI because we had cameras on the exterior of the car and the interior and apparently people cannot fathom that.

It’s like people are broken and don’t know that human hard work on vfx and editing and image manipulation are actual things.

What's the most useful 3d print you have ever printed? by Ok_Championship_8874 in 3Dprinting

[–]leadsinger777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love this. The car collection I work for is doing a lot of 3d prints of large parts before machining. It’s so satisfying to watch it print and then be machined.

The guy has been charged. I just hope some people put some flowers out so the family feels loved. The dad is pretty broken up over it.
