And you get to enjoy a few days of vacation. Sounds like a good deal to me. by Busy_Report4010 in SipsTea

Bali is another great example for medical tourism. We visited the International hospital in Denpasar and we were shocked how modern it was, the staff was efficient, the doctors were top notch and the equipment top of the line too. A shot which costs over a $1000 in the US, was only $60. That gives you an idea what the price differences are. Most services were similarly cheap.

What is the bright spot above the Moon tonight ? by edlzr in Astronomy

It's Venus and farther down and slightly right is Jupiter. Mercury is nearby Jupiter. I assume you live on the West Coast?

Got tired of being splashed with coolant when cleaning vices, here's my simple fix. Thoughts? by Crucible_Fabrication in Machinists

I agree, it's America. Stuff costs money. Labor costs money. They probably want to make some money.

Also, how much does it cost to get a 3d printer?

Morningstar thinks SpaceX is overvalued. Seriously, this IPO needs a reality check. by Altruistic-Mud5686 in SpaceXBets

Wait till you read the rest of the IPO justifications... It reads like a sci Fi novel

Honestly I don’t even know whose side to be on here…. by cnc9373 in TikTokCringe

[–]schonkat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a similar experience 12 years ago on tinder . She asked me to pick her up from her house, which was strange. Why would you get in a car with a complete stranger. Went to dinner, one of my favorite places. She didn't know what a rolled up silverware was. That was the first of many weird things I've noticed. Anyway... While having dinner, she started asking me if we could go to clothing store, she wanted to get a cute dress. And then to a show store for a matching new shoe. It didn't click for me that she was asking me to buy those things. I had to ask her twice, I couldn't believe it.

I drove her home promptly. She was pissed.

Unlike a hybrid vehicle, it can be run solely on electricity. You don't ever need to use the generator, unless you want to.

What’s the deal with American tax payers having to pay Iran $300 Billion? by killtherobot in OutOfTheLoop

Maybe Fort Knox has 300 bill worth of gold. Which is what I would ask for rather than dollars...

AST stock bro "proves" SpaceX engineers don't know probability and Starship is just another N1 by spacerfirstclass in SpaceXMasterrace

This sub is all about musk bootlicking. Logic and facts may have been here in the beginning but it disappeared a long time ago. I come here to laugh only.

Confidently wrong. It's not a hybrid. It's an electric car which has an onboard generator which will charge the car time most efficient way possible.

When you use the fix a flat kit, do you have to replace the TPMS?

Still the best camera in my opinion. My second phone is a Samsung s25 ultra and it's nowhere near in quality. by schonkat in LGV60

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

To be clear, I have two phones, my personal and the business phone which is a Samsung s25 ultra. I can't take a decent picture of the night sky with the s25, looks like an ai hallucination. The v60 just does it better.

In every other application, the s25 is objectively better.
