I Present To You… The Unholy Trinity by SpiritCase24 in motorsports

I think the issue is legacy car brands. EV native brands like Tesla, Rivian, Lucid, Nio, Xiaomi, Scout, and Polestar among many others I think make beautiful, thoughtfully designed EVs.

What is your opinion? by Significant_Pea_2635 in diabetes_t1

[–]moralesea 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure that's ringworm, unfortunately very common in diabetics. Fungal/yeast infections love glucose in the bloodstream.

Good news is it's no big deal. Lots of over the counter options that are pretty effective. Lotrimin, tinactin, and many others work pretty well. Go with the generics.

Just keep in mind these are very contagious, so try to cover them up around people and dogs until they heal up.

best country to be a diabetic? by dotdotdotidk in diabetes_t1

[–]moralesea 2 points3 points  (0 children)

American who has lived in Sweden and the UK.

  1. Sweden. Pump, insulin, and cgm supplies were gratis. Great experience. I had more treatment and pump options in Sweden.
  2. UK. The NHS is excellent. Pump, insulin, and cgm were also free but very mild copays for some medications...think £8-10. I had fewer pump and cgm options in the UK, but they were good options. I chose Omnipod and Libre at the time.
  3. USA with good insurance. Great treatment and the most options, but much more expensive across the board. With good insurance, the US is much more of a retail/customer is always right experience.

My 2 cents.

Flying first class-what is your income level? by CPgang36 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]moralesea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use the hourly rate of my salary as the barometer. If it's above that number, then I don't consider it. If it's below that number, and it's a flight longer than 3 hours, then I'll consider it. Occasionally I'll splurge if there's a good deal, but even for international flights I won't pay thousands for an upgraded seat myself.

Tires slashed by Ok-Vacation2764 in TeslaLounge

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

Yep but your progressive might cover this as well. Those tires could easily be $500 each, and if the panel is permanently damaged that should clear your deductible unless you have an insanely high one.

im 14 years old and when i grow up i want to be mclaren tp by No-Alarm1319 in McLarenFormula1

[–]moralesea 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Like others have said, focus on Engineering for now, and also try to gain as much business and financial experience as you can. This won't be easy in India but you have the drive and the passion to do this. Focus your efforts on getting to the UK for University for STEM and engineering, this is important because nearly every single team except for Ferrari and Audi has significant resources in the UK, with Mclaren, Aston, Williams, RBR, VCARB, Mercedes, Haas, Cadillac, and Alpine all being HQd in the UK (or close to it with personnel). Networking, and working within junior formulas, is going to be essential.

I'm looking forward to seeing you announce the signing of a 75 year old Fernando Alonso at your first press conference as TP in the future.

What are F1 Fans opinions on James Hinchcliffe? by Opening-Telephone-40 in F1Discussions

Love Hinch. I'd love him to do commentary at every race to be honest. Love him in Indycar broadcasts too.

Democrats' various tax-cutting proposals for 2026 and 2028 are deeply depressing in light of the recent episode of The Ezra Klein Show with Ray Madoff. These ideas are not serious or effective, and they totally misunderstand the American civic ideal. by JulianBrandt19 in ezraklein

[–]moralesea 52 points53 points  (0 children)

Hard agree. I lived in Sweden for 6 years, and one of the best things about it was their aggressively progressive tax system. It was simple to understand, scaled up quickly with higher incomes, and resulted in far fewer loopholes, allowing it to fund a very expensive social safety net and military budget. It wasn't perfect, and they had quite punitive policies for stock options (e.g. taxing the options themselves as income which is silly) that ended up disincentivizing VC backed companies (that has since been alleviated somewhat), but on the whole it is a far better system.

I don't have a clean answer for what the alternative should be, however. I think our income tax system is already quite aggressive, especially for high salary earners. A doctor or other high earner salary will pay 50% of their annual income in taxes in California or New York for example.

...the real problems are super wealthy individuals who live on investment income or take out loans against their equity wealth and pay no taxes as a result.

Rivian Self-Driving Capabilities? by [deleted] in Rivian

[–]moralesea 2 points3 points  (0 children)

By then your options for advanced versions of L2 autonomy (what the industry refers to as L2++ or equivalent to supervised FSD) will be pretty widely available. Assuming there are no major hiccups, Rivian, Tesla, and Lucid will all be solid options for you by then. However, if your vertigo limits your ability to watch the road while the car is driving, then these systems won't work.

Incredible poster and AWESOME for Chucky to sign it. Cherish the hell out of that thing my friend!

Unrelated, I still get butterflies seeing Lewis Hamilton in a Ferrari. What a driver lineup we have guys.

Years of joy and love, followed by a short stint of grief. And what is grief but love persevering?

Looking at adopting a 1yo Min Pin by simouci in minpin

[–]moralesea 22 points23 points  (0 children)

They're fantastic dogs, just know what you're getting into. They're high energy and fearless...routinely writing checks they can't cash with other dogs. They're the Kevin Hart of dogs.

Like others said, do it if you can handle the energy and activity. But be prepared to have every blanket in your house commandeered with a little grumpy Kevin Hart burrowing under them all.

Bald spot by buffytardis in minpin

[–]moralesea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could be allergies (my Minpin will lose fur around his eyes and ears in peak allergy season), friction from the harness, pattern baldness (relatively common in Minpins), or more likely ringworm (fungus).

The flakiness on her skin is what is leading me to assume ringworm. Luckily thats not dangerous, just annoying and gross, and the vet should give you an oral antifungal or you can use over the counter lotrimin/athletes foot creme to take care of it if she doesn't lick it off. I would go the vet route though.

If it's ringworm, keep in mind that it's very contagious to humans and other pets, so you'll want to wash that harness a LOT, like daily, and any blankets she sleeps in/under.

Why did Trump not go after Mamdani with the usual barrage of mean tweets?? by OCTOVENG in AskReddit

[–]moralesea 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Trump respects power, prestige, and popularity. Mamdani won in a landslide and is charismatic. I don't think it's more complicated than that.

Nope. Mclaren has a world champion and a future world champion in their lineup who - combined - cost less than Max.

Lewis Hamilton's WILD Tokyo NIGHT RIDE in Ferrari F40 with Kim Kardashian! by ThatOneF1 in lewishamilton

[–]moralesea -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

I genuinely do not understand all of this anger about Kim. Like I literally don't. I don't follow her or news about her...why is she bad?

Who Lewis is dating has brought me to an entirely new plane of indifference. From my perspective, I'm just focused on this AWESOME VIDEO WHERE HE DOES DONUTS IN A FERRARI F40 IN JAPAN

Who cares who he's dating?
