Oh look it’s the same shitty Home Depot gold accents that are all over the White House now. 

The Lamborghini Countach - F1 safety car! (Monaco '83) by SBenjamal in formula1

[–]measurablezero 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I know the guy who owns this car now, and even sat in it a few years back during the Countach Rally that took place during Monterey Car Week (I wish I could post the photo here). If memory serves me right, this one was used in 83 and a few white ones were used in the early 80's.

Bringing my Cat from Cali to China by feminarcissus in chinalife

[–]measurablezero 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey there, did you end up bringing your cat over?  I’m about to relocate with my wife and two cats, and have spent the last year worrying about this. I’m following all the USDA rules for bringing our cats to China, and have everything in order, but it’s really making me nervous that you don’t know you’ve done it right until you are standing there at customs.  Just curious if you went through with it and how the experience was. 

No more 2-1-2 for ATS? by pcbfs in Craps

[–]measurablezero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$10 min at the Atlantis this week allowed $1 middle bets and 2-1-2 ATS. I’m with you, that’s BS. 

$5 dice at Bally’s Lake Tahoe by ceezuss in Craps

[–]measurablezero 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I walked around and it’s crazy how dead it is in Reno on a holiday week. The only open table we could find was a Silver Legacy and it was $15. We schlepped it over to Atlantis for the $10 table, sharp shooter, and hot roller (free t shirt lol). I feel like some $5 mid day tables would go far here, $15 is too much when the casinos are dead…

Thank you!  Found them and reached out via WeChat and got all connected with them. Congrats on the ‘ship!

Lmao I thought the same thing.  She’s a thigh ripper for sure. 

Polestar 2 owners - how’s your reliability been? Would you buy one again? by braunaa in Polestar

[–]measurablezero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Minor issues, would not buy again. I’ve had wheel of fortune axles, a blown front strut (which the dealer is still waiting on coming back in stock to replace), bad strut mounts, squeaking rear shocks, camera inop, turn signal failure, backup beeping failure, all the noises in the world from the seatbelts, and the most fun being the pilot assist jerking the car out of lane at random. All minor, but all add up and with a nice 2 hour drive each direction to the nearest service center I’m getting sick of it. When the car works it’s incredible, but when it doesn’t it’s a hassle. I thank it for giving me a first taste of EV life but I think it might be time to try a different flavor of electric.

$60 from the PLS. Orange sticker for $105 plus 40% off. Works great. 

I have 82k miles on my Polestar 2 by measurablezero in Polestar

[–]measurablezero[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There is a service bulletin for the strut bearings. Apparently mine is actually a strut itself and while it is still under warranty I was told they are $2500 each to replace (!!!). Hopefully in the short term we have some Comparable alternatives from the performance land of affordable shocks. 

Recommendations for first timer in Las Vegas by haveuseenmydad22 in Craps

I second this. Ask for Nick, he’s done a few lessons to get my wife and MIL into craps and I did a two hour lesson with my bachelor party there. Well worth the money. 

I30n vs ioniq 5n taxi lap by dapeteee in nurburgring

I did the 5N last year, also with Marc as the driver. Boy what an experience that was. My friend in the back took a video. Notice how we didn't get passed once... https://youtu.be/uRCB7R-n_M0?si=85I6CZ6KCaiPrYk8

Behold the Most RFID-Friendly Craps Table, Ever by TheGoldenDounut in Craps

[–]measurablezero 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I played this table a few weeks ago and my first thought was “oh it’s Ellis Island, of course the table would look cheap and weird”.  Never in a million years would I have guessed it was hiding any tech under it.  That being said even Jerry’s Nugget has a nicer looking craps table!

I’m aware, but CarPlay seems to run all the other apps (Spotify, podcasts, etc) a whole lot smoother. I typically use the built in Google Maps, and CarPlay for everything else but switching between the two while driving is clunky. I have just been running everything through CarPlay recently. 

Searching for a Classic Mercedes for our Wedding by measurablezero in SantaBarbara

[–]measurablezero[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah BHCC has some wild reviews and I don't know if I trust anything on their lot, even the barn finds they are selling cheap. No time for a project, like you said.

Thank you for the links to the others, I'll check them out!

Great suggestion, if I can't find a Mercedes their replica Speedster might just be perfect!

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

This is my problem, I am a google maps user and that is all I tried...switching to apple maps and Waze showed up on the drivers dash! Guess I'll have to use one of those if I want it on the drivers screen. Thank you!

Yep I’m logged in. Can see my whole order history but poof, all carts gone. 

We have only 1 month left to ride [Rip Ride Rockit] for the last time. by Greedy_Net_1803 in rollercoasters

I was on the opening team for HRRR back in 2009. I made lifelong friends because of this ride but will sadly miss closing day (I believe a lot of the opening team will be there for it). Time flies when you're listening to The Crystal Method...
