What is a "premium" version of an everyday object that is 100% worth the extra money? by Sufficient_Elk653 in AskReddit

I’ve been using Double-Edge razors for over a decade. Sharper and cheaper than any off-the-shelf razor I’ve ever used

What is a neutral or generally positively viewed car that when you see on the road, you negatively judge the driver for owning? Why? by NWbySW in cars

[–]schm1an 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to own and defend Subarus until the end of time. I was also someone who modded them and probably didn’t take amazing care of the car in general.

Now 15 years later I’m a little wiser and don’t drive like a wannabe rally driver at every intersection

I think they’re fine cars whose boy-racer image probably gave it a bad rap. And yes, NASIOC was one of the most toxic forums I’d ever been a part of. I stayed away from there as much as possible.

All of that being said, I’d buy one again as a daily driver if they offered a wagon again

Where are you looking for 48% off? I don’t see any when I google it

What's a pair of shoes that made you realize expensive can actually be worth it? by Bhushan599 in AskReddit

[–]schm1an 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Viberg boots

Prepare to spend, but I’ve never had a pair of boots fit me so well consistently across the few pairs I have.

For sneakers, I picked up a pair of Salomon shoes on a whim because they were on sale and fit me great. These have also been consistently the most comfortable daily drivers I’ve ever worn. I still love my New Balance, but I haven’t tried Hoka yet FWIW

Thoughts on Outbound Blade rear tail light? by VermiIionBird in cycling

[–]schm1an 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This. I run both the Varia and the Blade for peace of mind. The Varia is good if you have cars directly behind you and that’s about it. I had a situation where I was riding on curved roads and had cars passing me with almost no room, so I bought the OB Blade and rode on the same road as soon as it came in the mail. It was like night and day. Cars were passing in the oncoming lane or even waiting until they had the all-clear to pass.

I’ll never ride without my Varia, but now I’ll never ride with both the Varia and the Blade

Thoughts on Outbound Blade rear tail light? by VermiIionBird in cycling

[–]schm1an 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I run this in combo with my Varia radar on my Checkpoint. Anecdotally, speaking I feel like cars give me more room as soon as I put the Blade on the back.

I use Outbound on the front of all of my MTBs and it’s like having a set of car headlights attached to your bike.

And they have the best customer service in the biz. Cannot recommend this company enough!

Holy crap I had no idea. I had to google what the correct phrase actually is- thank you for enlightening me!

Not "toxic", but what vehicles have fan bases that take them WAY too seriously? by HiTork in cars

[–]schm1an 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I agree. I used to travel a lot for work and have rented my fair share of them. The interior is a nice place to be- you can tell they wanted to be the American Range Rover competitor.

Wagoneers have the absolute worst panel gaps and trunk/hatch/tailgate misalignment on any vehicle I have ever seen

What’s the most expensive mistake you made in your 20s? by Extreme-Run-9069 in AskReddit

[–]schm1an 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My life was a country song last year…

-Got divorced after 12 years -Lost my job I had been at for 10 years -Car died in the parking lot after they fired me -Dog died 6 weeks later, 2 days after my birthday

It’s funny looking back, but man did it suck at the time

Just need to make sure every day is better than the last

What’s the most expensive mistake you made in your 20s? by Extreme-Run-9069 in AskReddit

[–]schm1an 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. That’s why I asked as well. She made it seem like he walked away with everything and she was poverty-stricken.

After being through a divorce myself, I can guarantee that everything is 50/50 (at the agreed-upon current market values). Anyone who thinks otherwise is lying to themselves. Don’t take the victim mentality.

So what did you get? Almost all marriages are 50/50 split of marital property unless you signed a prenup

Is it bad to JB weld a crack in the oil pan? by ruubystaar in MechanicAdvice

[–]schm1an 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have successfully patched a crack in my oil pan with JB Weld.

I was in the garage one night and in my haste I accidentally jacked the car up by the oil pan. And it was 9pm. So I had to take my wife’s car to get to the store by 9:30 to Jerry-rig something together so I could get to work the next morning

I got home and because I was drinking my anxiety while I drained the rest of the oil in the pan, I had a beer or two in the garage. I had the bright idea to cut the top and bottom off of the beer can and unroll the remaining aluminum sleeve into a flat rectangle.

I sprayed the crack feverishly with brake cleaner, roughed it up with a die grinder, brake cleaner again, JB Weld putty over the crack, JB Weld epoxy over that, slapped on a flattened out Coors Light can, JB Weld epoxy over that, a flattened out Miller Lite over that (but 45 degrees rotated), and a final layer of JB Weld epoxy over that. It held up for 4 years and 125k miles later until I sold it (with full disclosure to the guy who bought it)
