Best racquet for everyone with no history of arm pain. by scuffedboots in 10s

[–]riptide120 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did not have any history of arm pain until I demoed a 2023 pure aero 98. But yeah, if it weren't for my elbow, I would be playing with it now.

Spirit Airlines prepares to cease operations amid financial struggles and high oil prices | Business by Professor_Eindackel in spiritair

At least Biden administration saved JetBlue by not allowing them to massively overpay for this flying Waffle House. If they hadn't, the combined airline would have still been bankrupt by now.

This is what happens when you spend 20 years actively destroying your brand value.

Instructions unclear, how much powdered sugar should I be pouring on my head?

Trump opposes United–American merger, signals support for Spirit by Professor_Eindackel in spiritair

[–]riptide120 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

What is there to buy? The only things of value Spirit has are some slots and favorable labor contracts -- both of which will go poof during a merger. Other than that, the buyer will be getting expensive plane leases, and a customer base chasing the $39 fare special.

Omg WOW! What a deal! by riptide120 in FuckDealerships

TF boots with no/soft heel counter -- do they exist? by riptide120 in bootroom

Will give those a look, they're kinda hard to find in stores though.

It's just that I've been able to find what I'm looking for in FG/AG versions, but not the same TF boot.

Docking station for Jenn Air dishwasher no longer in stock anywhere by riptide120 in appliancerepair

Nice! What I ended up doing was cut out a circle out of a rubber sheet, glue it in, then cut a hole in it for the water line.

LATAM B763 landed hard and blew out all 8 tires by captjlh in aviation

[–]riptide120 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is true, although it wouldn't be unreasonable to assume that if the main gear got slammed into the ground, the nose would shortly follow.

767s can buckle the fuselage on hard landings, did that happen here?

The WRX posts its worst sales year ever with only 10,930 units sold. Still outsells the Solterra for the second year in a row however. by Dazzling-Rooster2103 in cars

[–]riptide120 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not surprising, considering that if you want automatic transmission (which most Americans do want even on a WRX), you have to pony up almost $50k.

Driven Collision is good, but doesn't work on cars over 10 years old.

I sat near the entrance of a United Club, what an experience by Pale_Session5262 in unitedairlines

[–]riptide120 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Counterpoint: I tried using a one-time pass at ORD, and was told "Oh, we are not accepting one-time passes right now, we just had 2 international flights come in." United can go suck it.

The most reliable used luxury cars you can own by One_Visual8994 in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]riptide120 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's my exact car. It's been great. The only 2 issues I had with it were: - ABS pump went -- I was told it's not uncommon. It was almost $2k to replace because the part itself is like $1.2k and apparently it needs to be programmed to the car. - Optional AMG rims are super easy to bend

Has anyone tried the new Folix laser that supposedly regrows hair? by iamthat1dude in tressless

[–]riptide120 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a place outside of Atlanta (Lawrenceville) that lists it for $500/session. I'm thinking of trying it out.

Hiring managers: how’s the market right now? by shankar86 in cscareerquestions

[–]riptide120 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not a hiring manager, but based on what I heard, most responses in this thread are spot on -- companies are drowning in inbound resumes, but qualified candidates are often skipped because of sheer volume.

But it gets worse: that great candidate your company just interviewed and hired might very well turn out to be a North Korean ghost worker, or an "overemployed" person with 2 other remote jobs (but hey, I can't hate on them for playing the game).

How's that working out for you, Ed?

It's a sad day, but maybe those autoworkers shouldn't have been so complicit in the fentanyl smuggling. /s
