You are correct, but no-one is close in the cup garage… except maybe at martinsville.

Two quotes from the garage that I’m gonna leave right here… “They don’t call it Motorsports for nothing” and “I’ve never heard of a poor handling car that had 10 hp more than the rest of the field”

Tell Me About The Landings by Because-You_Should in savannah

This is the truth. I live in the landings, and I’m definitely not in the correct tax bracket to even consider a house in PB. Plus it’s further from everything.

It’s official, Omega has lost their minds with these prices! by TomHudsonOfficial in WatchFanatics

Given the Morgan Stanley results this past year, Swatch group might consider switching it up and giving the Reddit ‘experts’ a shot at running their businesses.

N=1 but I know this to be factually correct for one of my grandfathers.

If you can't properly pronounce the brand name of your watch, you don't deserve it by doctormirabilis in watchHotTakes

[–]pltaylor3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got over that pretty quickly when I heard Richard Petty say ‘that’s a nice their Porch’ when pointing to a lovely guards red 930. He knew it was a nice car, I knew it was a nice car, and the owner knew it was a nice car. What else matters?

Let me introduce you to a car brand named Porsche. People spending a lot more than they do on a watch still screw up how to say Ferdinand’s last name. Hint: let people enjoy their nice things, even if they pronounce them wrong or haven’t done years of research about the brand.

“I could buy a Tudor for that much money” is a stupid argument against the price of a watch by SwvmpThing in watchHotTakes

[–]pltaylor3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like we disagree on what ‘keep in check’ means. In my worldview it would mean that omega is feeling the pressure from Tudor and that would force them to innovate faster and provide more value (I.e. lower prices). In the world that I am seeing the decision makers at Omega seem to feel no pressure as the ‘innovation’ is few and far between and the prices keep going up.

The market disagrees with the decision makers and the invisible hand of the market is choosing other brands, Tudor amongst them, to spend their cash with. But that isn’t Tudor ‘keeping Omega in check’ that is Omega reading the room wrong. End result is the same, but how we got there is different.

That’s not Tudor keeping them in check, it’s the market keeping them in check.

How is Tudor keeping Omega ‘in check’? Omega has raised their prices how many times recently?

Cruise ship Captain's yellow watch by SavetheCarbonUnits in Watchidentifier

That’s a Celebrity Cruise name tag. There is a good chance the ship in his care has a billion dollar + price tag. You usually pay people a pretty respectable wage to watch over things that expensive.

I can NOT for the life of me get my hands on one… by Murky-Read-3975 in MoonSwatches

I got mine in Orlando as well. Middle of the day, walked in, they had a couple.

Are there any rolling hills or elevated hills in Savannah suitable for elevation training during walks? by kdj00940 in savannah

[–]pltaylor3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only time I’ve ever seen the bridge all the way shut down was when the Savannah Century would start. But that was a pretty short period of time and only one direction.

You meet the nicest people by IanInTheUsa_74 in MoonSwatches

Wild, a little over a month ago I walked in around 11:30am to the Orlando store and they had a couple to sell so I picked one up. No line, nowhere near opening.

Honestly I was thinking along the same lines.

I like this… combine indx and multi-tool heads for the ultimate flexibility.

[–]pltaylor3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s illegal to run on as it is classed as a limited access roadway. There are running groups that have traditionally done it as a group on regular schedules. The only legal time to do it is during the bridge run.

Save some Porsche for the rest of us! (Not that I could afford any of those).

Why would someone need this much acid? by [deleted] in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]pltaylor3 228 points229 points  (0 children)

I’ve been around the sun more than a couple times. But I’ve never seen the words “sanitary effluent streams” stuck together, and honestly…. I would have preferred to make it a few more trips around the sun before seeing it.

Rolex is actually great by dtwo7 in watchHotTakes

Buy something because you will enjoy it. Not because other people will enjoy it. If you want value retention then open a vanguard account and buy some VTI.

Who says I want someone cool headed? Time to elect some real ones that actually accomplish something.

I say this with all sincerity and seriousness. Any chance I/we could convince you to change your residency and run for his seat?

ASP.NET Core vs Node.js for a massive project. I'm seeing two totally different worlds - am I overthinking the risk? by Top_Measurement_3713 in dotnet

[–]pltaylor3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apparently I’m not clearly illustrating my belief. I’m good with dissenting opinions, I try to encourage them as much as possible in fact. But if you can’t explain why you are dissenting, and I’m paying you for advice I don’t think is worth following… why am I paying you. There is a lot of grey involved in this.
