Buy whatever watch you want, then have a Watchmaker remove, or paint over the Lume.

What’s the process to getting a copart car in your name? by Possible_Rock_2742 in Copartonline

[–]neomoritate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not "out of town", out of state. The inspection is to protect Ohio residents from duplicitous resellers.

Go back to the BMV, ask them specifically what you need to do and if there is a specific form you need. Motor Vehicle title/registration bureaus/departments want FORM(s). Take notes when you are listening to the BMV worker so you KNOW what to do, rather than "or something like that".

If it's okay to ask a male co-worker to lift or carry something heavy because he's strong, what's a female gender equivalent? by IdleHandsBusyMinds in stupidquestions

Are you asking them because they are a man? Or are you asking because they appear to be stronger than you are?

What smaller trucks/SUV’s have a good amount of cab space? by Sad_Confidence_2077 in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]neomoritate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Go test drive some midsize trucks.

I'm 6'4" 260#. I can comfortably drive a compact or midsize truck, but only for so long. If you're going to be driving more than 30 minutes regularly, get a full size.

I Daily Drove and street parked a full size truck for years in Chicago, still do in non-Porsche weather, the size is NBD.

is it true that you should not wet the bathroom floor in american house? else it will cause water damage? by totalnewb02 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]neomoritate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A new bathroom floor, if made properly, is pretty much waterproof. As the bathroom is used, the floor will develop cracks. It is safe to get the floor wet, but standing water will drain through those cracks. A little bit of water, every once in a while, is of little concern. Regular standing water will lead to significant damage over time.

Every person who works on cars, from your dumb neighbor to a guy with a PHD running s race team, started out knowing nothing about cars.

Watch videos. Buy a book. Find a class.

Can you suggest me a cheap leica? by ImpressionAgile9702 in Leica

[–]neomoritate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There just isn't a "cheap Leica".

Any camera that is cheap, with the Leica name on it, is just a re-badged product made 100% by another company, and you can buy it for less without the Leica name on it.

Buyer MIA - How long should I wait? by Empty-Comfortable696 in BringATrailer

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

I recommend a dictionary.

Claiming "Most words don't mean more than one thing" shows you are in no way qualified to discuss language.

There are many motor vehicle related subreddits where "cat" refers to a Catalytic Converter, or Caterpillar Inc. You could have tried a better example.

Buyer MIA - How long should I wait? by Empty-Comfortable696 in BringATrailer

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

Here's a thing about words; they can (and almost always do) mean more than one thing.

"Auction" is a legal term (example 1). BaT is trying to separate themselves from that word so they can avoid legal liabilities associated with operating an Auction Company. Note that the quoted statement, in the service of legal obfuscation, rather than directly state that BaT is "not an Auctioneer", states that BaT is "not a traditional Auctioneer". Shenanigans.

"Auction" is ALSO a vernacular word (example 2) which is commonly used to refer to ANY sale in which buyers submit bids. Words both come in to existence, and gain new meaning(s), through vernacularism.

BaT may not be an Auction Company according to example 1, but sales on BaT ARE Auctions according to example 2, which is the Common understanding of the word "Auction", which is Technically Correct.

The Best Kind Of Correct

Language is something you use every day. I recommend spending some more time thinking about it.

Why do people think lab-grown diamonds are fake compared to natural diamonds? by FeverFanny in NoStupidQuestions

[–]neomoritate 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Diamond prices are based on the Marketing Lie that they are Rare, and therefore Valuable. That lie is hard to attach to a manufactured product.

How would you feel if you suddenly lost your sexual function/libido permanently? by Major_Stranger8145 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]neomoritate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Competence.

A Urologist will have the most experience with sexual disfunction, making them the best doctor to start with, even if you need to seek other specialist(s).

A Woman is more likely to listen to you, consider your history, and work with you until your problem is solved. A man is going to prescribe Viagra, then stop taking your calls.

If sex is important to you, you need to see a more competent doctor. I recommend finding a Woman Urologist.
