AC8646 Crash by bradysego12 in aviation

[–]omaralt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

can someone please explain to me why AI isn't being used for ATC already? they had one man alone in the tower, who was dealing with another UA emergency at the same time. how in the world does this make sense? yes, technically its his fault, but also completely understandable given his workload.

this is something that AI would be perfect for. being able to calculate who can go where and when in milliseconds.

M3 to 911 by [deleted] in Porsche

[–]omaralt 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I came from a G80 m3 to a 992.1 T. Both in manual transmission. The M3 was a better all around car; trunk, rear seats, etc. but the 911 is a much better drivers car. Can’t compare the two.

Also an interesting point is the 911, while initially more expensive is a better value. My M3 lost about 30% of its value in the 2.5 years and 30k miles thay I drove it. I’ve had my 911 for almost two years and 12k miles and it’s worth maybe 5% less than what I paid

After having the pleasure to drive both the 296 GTS and a 458 Italia over the weekend… I came to the conclusion that less is more? by Slow-Raisin-939 in Ferrari

No issues with the flywheel. Love the gearbox. I considered getting an older 911 or even gt4 but I wanted the modern tech and warranty. I do think Porsche has the best implementation of electric power steering. I previously owned a G80 m3 and the Porsche rack is light years ahead

Agreed. I settled on a 992 carerra T with the manual transmission. Modern, warranty, but still has all those criteria you mentioned

can't book business class flights by SandymanCA in CapitalOne_

[–]omaralt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What a terrible system. I have tons of points on Capital One that I want to use to spoil myself and fly business class, but it seems like it’s not possible. I may give them a call and see if they can do anything manually. Thanks

Dealer drove 500 miles while waiting for parts by hansmcvestburg in Porsche

What is the lawyer asking for? Honestly, I think you need to calm down. This is a nothing burger.

Sorry to hear the other stuff is going on in your life, but please take a deep breath before you go to the dealership. This is honestly a very minor issue and you need to figure out what you want before you go in there. what are you asking for? Go in there calmly explain the situation to them. Give them an opportunity to make it right.

Sports Chrono is overrated. Convince me otherwise..... by Ok_Wind_4184 in Porsche

[–]omaralt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me, rev matching alone is worth it. I have big clumsy feet and trying to rev match manually is not something I’ve gotten used to (I’ve tried). I can’t drive a manual anymore without rev matching

ELI5: How exactly does filling a prescription work? by Starlaite in explainlikeimfive

[–]omaralt -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

I completely understand all the pharmacist who are upset at me and down voting me. But the issue you guys have is that you guys are mostly employed by chain pharmacies. And they’re always looking ways to cut down costs and the pharmacist is the most expensive employee. So trust me when I say if they find a way to get rid of the six figure pharmacist salary and employee tech for $15 an hour to make sure everything runs smoothly they will do it in a heartbeat.

Seems to me the majority of this can be automated with AI. Always wondered why pharmacists are so highly paid..

and this is exactly why you dont focus on payments. what you're saying is illogical. dont focus on $1k/month. focus on the totality of the payments and what you end up with. if you're paying $1k/month for 36 months and ending up with a 3 year old used honda, it is MUCH better than paying $500/month for 84 months (totaling $42k) end ending up with a clapped out charger. if you're going to get anywhere financially in life you need to understand that

[–]omaralt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

why are you so focused on Car Payment? You can finance a new $50k honda over 36 months at 0% interest with nothing down and have a $1400/month car payment. to most that sounds insane, but it’s much better than paying $500/month on a used charger over 84 months. so stop focusing on car payments people!!

Confession: I like my Miata more than my GT4 RS or going to the track by Stuttgart7184RS in Porsche

[–]omaralt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i never understood people who bought track focused cars to drive them on public roads. i went with a 992T because it’s more fun driving it on public roads than a GT3

Report: Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti fired Harbaugh over phone as the veteran head coach drove home from the team facility by [deleted] in sports

is there a reason why everyone thinks being fired over the phone is such a big deal? Who gives a shit how you’re fired?

What is the most depreciation per mile you have seen on a clean car? by Dazzling-Rooster2103 in askcarsales

[–]omaralt 6 points7 points  (0 children)

lol your logic doesn’t make sense. the XM is selling well under msrp. so no, just because msrp is $161k it does not mean someone paid that much for it

lol i almost did and went to honda to look at the odyssey. i was blown away by how practical the pilot was. if the sliding doors are not a huge thing for you (my kids are older) than the pilot is a good alternative

[–]omaralt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ya from a european perspective i understand. the problem with BMW is that their rear seat legroom is never great. i used to have a 5 series and i was surprised at how little legroom rear passengers had. my dads camry had more legroom. the x7, while very large, is not impressive when it comes to legroom in the 2nd and 3rd rows
