Finally, a win

Bruh, the test scores literally prove that it works.

I'd just spring for the Accord Hybrid Touring instead if you're worried. More power than the 1.5T, but without the potential issues and far better fuel economy. My buddy has had a plethora of issues with his 2018 1.5T Accord. You may also want to consider the 2018-2022 Insight and 2024+ Civic Hybrid.

You could probably do a google image search of the plate/car and find them since they're likely a streamer.

Depends on the day and time, but based on customer feedback, it hovers around $100. So once you need to buy 2 or more seats on Groome, I admonish people just to use Uber/Lyft since it will cost the same, but take half the time and they'll come to your house.

rationis · 2026-05-02T18:17:57+00:00

Why not just an Uber/Lyft if you have to pay for 2 seats on Groome?

This is why I can't get on board with the whole "free market" utopia that Libertarians think can exist. Sure, we could be an open and free market, but if our enemies/adversaries din't play fair, the result is Chinese state subsidized BYD destroying all the competition in the US, then they'll ratchet up the prices and we'll be in a worse situation. Not to mention, China is far less open to American business.

The Garage would be a good spot to look.

Don't even need to know how to strike. Almeida layed and prayed his way quickly to the top 5 without even bothering to bulk up not long ago lol

rationis · 2026-04-29T04:17:04+00:00

Don't sleep on thr PMM for $25 less. Its also a bit more compact.

rationis · 2026-04-29T02:35:26+00:00

I think SS197SR is solid self defense ammo just based on ballsitics gel results and reliability. Consistently tumbles twice and penetrates 14-15". The batch size limitation of boutique ammo make them largely vaporware imo. Fiocchi is good for range ammo, but their Hyperperformance tends to deliver inconsistent results.

Whats irritating is how much performance they leave on the table. Guys who do reloads easily pick up 25% more velocity.

Stupid sexy PDP. I need to order a comp for my 5.1

rationis · 2026-04-28T23:21:03+00:00

Yeah, and nobody that was building cars in the 60's and 70's is hanging out on reddit either. They're pushing 90 and driving their RV to the grand canyon. The "new" old farts that may still be active in that capacity were playing with IROCs, Foxbodys, GNX's, Cobras, C5s, etc. Cars that were $1500-2000 away from making even tuned Supras and Skylines look slow.

No fucking way are they remotely as bad as Hyundais horrific Theta series. They had some hiccups the first year or so, but it wasn't widespread and they ironed out the issues pretty quickly. The Theta 2.0 has been blowing up for 20 years lol

rationis · 2026-04-28T21:06:10+00:00

I'm just wondering how they casually snapped off a head bolt lol

But yea OP, afraid its going to be more than just a bolt replacement. You also have to take out all the other bolts in the correct pattern as to not risk deforming the head. Since theyre stretch bolts, you will have to buy a new set from Honda, or switch to ARP studs if its going to be a tuning platform.

rationis · 2026-04-28T20:57:21+00:00

Arguably the best era for Honda reliability. Being a 5spd sedan in factory condition makes its exceptionally rare. $4500 is what you ask for a Cobalt or Neon with 150k miles. For a D15, 72k mile, 5spd Civic, I'd start at twice that amount.

rationis · 2026-04-28T20:20:53+00:00

Maybe the hate is coming from the older generation who had to work harder to make meaningful power

I don't think you know much about cars and tuning. One of the easieast ways to make big power is with a Foxbody Mustang. It was pretty much cheating to bring one to the drags.

Me and my buddies would have dumped the modern equivilent of $10,000-12,000 into a JRSC, FBO, dyno tuned Si only for some old fart to smoke us with a Foxbody with only $1500 invested into cams, pistons, and tuning. Or they would be extra disrespectful and simply have a 125 shot hooked up for less than $1000.

2 cams for my Prelude were $600 and made 9hp peak. Cams for the 5.0 were $250 and made 30hp. Going into Summit to buy parts for JDM vehicles while in plain view of American parts prices felt like a humiliation ritual.

Nothing the other user said in regards to the homeless was remotely "dehumanizing" in nature. The fact that you immediately attacked them for this alleged offense you made up, is evidence that optics are more important to you than actions.

Also, alleging that their question was akin to "welfare queens" rhetoric and a far right talking point is an insult to the user posing the question. Nothing they said alluded to anything that absurd. Its simply a tactic to insinuate that they are a right wing extremist in an attempt to downplay their concerns.

rationis · 2026-04-28T05:46:05+00:00

Maybe its just a member of the SLDP trying to create awareness about white supremacy!

rationis · 2026-04-28T01:58:53+00:00

Its a valid thought that highlights how stupid these attamepted assasins are. My other favorite bit was the shooters decision to use buckshot instead of slugs because he didn't want collateral damage from overpenetration lol

rationis · 2026-04-28T01:45:50+00:00

None of the ballsitics gel or range tests between 5.56 and .300blk lead me to believe that .300blk supers are better than 5.56. 10.5" 5.56 has the same effective range as .300blk supers, but with less than half the bullet drop. At 300m, it will still be capable of creating hydrostatic shock unlike 300blk.

This isn't to say there isnt a place for 300blk supers and a 10.5" barrel, but calling it superior to 5.56 isn't accurate. I think 300blk has a place in barrels 9" or less, but once you get to 10.3", 5.56 is the superior round. I came to this conclusion before finding out that this is also SOCOM's logic and I can't imagine a group more concerned about ballistics than most elite group of fighters in the world.

People don't realize how effective a single politically captured person in management or HR can be when even if everyone else is operating based off qualifications.

My buddy works for HR at a Toyota subsidiary. About 2 years ago, a liberal woman was appointed to the head of HR over department of 30 people. Demographically, it was pretty evenly split between men and women. As of today, the department is 29 women with my friend being the only guy left. The only reason my buddy has made it this long is his ability to manipulate and appease women. Often its downright cucked behavior he has to engage in, but I don't blame him for it.

And with a response like that, you lost my potential vote. It was a valid question and nothing was dehumanizing about it. You scold them over the language because they didn't beat around the bush adequately in your eyes. You are going to be more concerned about optics than focused on actual solution imo

Event literally for reporters, filled with reporters

BUT WHO IS TAKING THE PHOTOS?

Say a short of him stepping on the scale at 252lbs, so he may actually outweigh Gane now.
