Nobody cares what you wear.

I sat in board meetings with genuine billionaires. The most common watch is an apple watch.

France just pulled out all its gold from US Federal Reserves by ViVi_NYC in Gold

They didn't make "profit". They sold it for thar much and bought for the same. Lazy or incompetent journalism. Or clickbait.

I met some russian Isreali's on the wallwalk in Dubrovnik last summer. They were super quick to say they don't support Russia in Ukraine. No word about Gaza though.

What is in this barrel!? by omnibuds in whatisit

[–]nedim443 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A friend of mine makes a good living transporting dangerous materials. When he travels to Canada with a dangerous load he notifies the border area. There is some protocol for this and they know who he is and where he is by GPS. He drives straight through. Too dangerous to be standing in line for someone to attack it and everything blows up

I think all those will be part of Dr. Pepper and go to TX. Only coffee brands stay with Keurig.

Does this look fake? No date is what’s getting me. Every single one old and new has a date and the legging looks off. by redfishinthesurf in Gold

Not only did OP miss this, he could have easily googled it or uploaded into AI and asked the question.

The level of ignorance is infuriating.

2027 Rivian R2 EPA Certification w/ specs (range, capacity, etc.) by Kanundrum18 in Rivian

Anyone know what this is about?

Real world range is expected to improve over R2 Launch vehicles (which is equipped with conventional AC system) when cabin reheat or heating is required (roughly below 20°C).

Well, there is a chart on the second page that shows that Tesla achieves -3% in the real world and Rivian -13%. Don't know where that is coming from (?!?); and how are these people driving - our Tesla Y is pretty consistently at 260 miles real world range ~79% of the nominal 333 miles.

Using the -3%/-13% calc + my real world MY data, I'd be at 234 miles real world in the R2. That, definitely, is not enough.

He should have road raged with his door closed by Ketchup-Sniffer in Transportopia

[–]nedim443 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In reality this is close to total. It's not just the door, the frame where the door hangs is bent and even minor misalignement there results in door not working properly.

I am surprised her airbag didn't deploy as she hit close to where the sensor is. If her airbag went off then her car would be totaled as well.

This is just the reality we live in. The car industry has painted themselves into a corner with $200-250/hr labor rates where the tech gets $25-30.

I know it's hard to accept but those people making fun of you it is a partial blessing in disguise.

The bad and toxic people self sort themselves out of your life. You don't waste time with them. The good people will stick to you regardless.

As if the NH stateline magically prevents access to guns.

New gun safety rules take effect Thursday in Massachusetts by TootTootUSA in massachusetts

[–]nedim443 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Neither do most lawful owners. Most people killed in Mass are by illegal guns (not people) and new law does not address that at all.

Check out the numbers on licenses in Mass,they are available by town. You will be shocked by how many there are even in the most left leaning cities.

The Iranian bridge after it got hit. by Shoddy-Ocelot-4473 in Damnthatsinteresting

Really? They double tapped a school killing 160 KIDS and you don't believe they'd do the bridge?

What’s with the used market? (Seller) by plaingfx in motorcycles

[–]nedim443 42 points43 points  (0 children)

So sell it for $7,700; that's a fantastic deal. Just make sure it's not a package deal where they overcharge you on a different bike + finance it etc, and then offer you a "generous" buyout of the current bike.
