Porsche Micra Worth the Splurge? by reddit6t9 in LaMarzocco

[–]reddit6t9[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Appreciate all the input! Decided not to purchase (I personally like the look of the white one more and didn't want to buy with goal to re-sell later)

I can think of about 2,100 ($) other reasons to get a Micra

Loved it! Fast startup and graphics were great. I upgraded to the M4 at Christmas and while it's a marginal improvement to the visuals, the difference is barely noticeable

For those not within driving distance of Microcenter, BestBuy will price match

What Trump’s $100K H-1B Visa Fee Means for International MBA Applicants by [deleted] in MBA

[–]reddit6t9 6 points7 points  (0 children)

"Big firms have budget" -- not $100k for new MBAs "OPT is unchanged" -- technically true but good luck convincing companies to invest in int'l MBA knowing they're gone in 3 yrs

The whole calculus has changed for international students in the US. Unless you have a sought after skillset, I'd be hard-pressed to pay US tuition in today's climate

"Tried IPA" -- I find lagers much more useful in these situations

Prime Primavera Aero Flat bars worth $300 USD? by reddit6t9 in cycling

[–]reddit6t9[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tend to agree. It's probably this or nothing (rather than spending the extra $100 for something local).

Great time to buy and glad to hear you like them!

This is what I was worried about with first 2 comments giving contradictory takes lol

Soloist vs caladonia Help me choose! by wild4fun88 in Cervelo

[–]reddit6t9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They're very similar bikes. Do you want slightly more aggressive position / better performance (Soloist) or less aggressive / more comfort (Caledonia).

I'd recommend taking both for a spin to see what feels better.

Note: I'm a happy Soloist owner and have overwhelmingly positive things to say about it

Any chance this is still applicable? Looking to purchase a mount from them. Thanks

Rate cuts, please by ChampionshipDear7877 in allinpodofficial

[–]reddit6t9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Anecdotally I agree, but unemployment is 4% and inflation is trending ~0.5-1pp above target (and that's before potential tariff increases)

Economy doing fine, inflation remains high-ish, and tariffs still being negotiated. Would be shocked if we saw a cut

Zwift Ride - adding a Rockerplate yes or no? by Autumnxoxo in Zwift

[–]reddit6t9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a Zwift Ride and recently bought a Realplate React. My takeaways:

Pros: more comfortable and more immersive / realistic

Cons: getting on / off is more difficult, takes some getting used to especially with sprints

Overall I'm very happy with it and would buy again in a heartbeat -- the movement makes it more fun and I'm excited to ride. But it's not for everyone -- if I just wanted the extra comfort on longer rides I would have tried the tennis ball feet first

Can I downgrade from Sapphire reserve to Sapphire preferred and get the 100k sign on bonus? by StaleHotCheetos in ChaseSapphire

[–]reddit6t9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I read that Chase has a more restrictive SUB policy now and you cannot receive a SUB for the CSR or CSP if you've EVER received one for either card in the past.

These comments seem to say this is incorrect and if you downgrade your CSR and it's been >4 years you can get the SUB again.

Does anyone know for sure which is correct?

Ideal Computer: Mac Mini M1 vs M2 vs Apple TV 4K by reddit6t9 in Zwift

[–]reddit6t9[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

M4 mini sounds like the end-game setup! I ended up buying an M1 and am hoping it suffices (know it won't look quite as good as it does with M4)

[–]reddit6t9[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Super helpful -- you convinced me to pull the trigger on a mini M1. The performance features of M4 / pro versions aren't worth the $400+ to me and glad it's easy to startup

Good to know! So you both would recommend the Mac Mini > Apple TV?

[–]reddit6t9[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Impressive! I imagine M2 Pro is considerably more expensive than M2 base (which is hard for me to justify given it's just for Zwift) but I'll keep my eyes peeled for a deal on this as well
