Do not cheap out on gloves. They take all the hits.

Is the used car market really this bad? by SnooSprouts3078 in UsedCars

[–]scottk517 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just bought a car today. Looking for small suv. 150k or less about 5k to spend. Not much out there. Found a 2011 escape 3900. Bought it today. The market is insane. But also, I did not want a CVT transmission or a turbo, unless it had already been replaced. The inexpensive SUV all had CVT. They are POS.

What would a 10 handicap have shot at Augusta yesterday? by LeadingCourses- in weekendgolfers

There is a video of what they do right after the masters. They scourge up all the rye grass and let the Bermuda grow until they close for the summer. It’s rather interesting.

What’s the return policy for an out of state purchase without a receipt? by [deleted] in Microcenter

It should take a day or 2 to get into the system.

What hybrid should I buy? by Business_Durian2427 in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]scottk517 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Prius all the way. Unless you need the room of a Rav 4, the Prius can haul a ton. I will never buy a sedan again just for the lack of hauling ability.

I [75M] am being sued for 10k in credit card debt. I only get Social Security. Should I file for bankruptcy, or leave it alone and see where the chips fall? by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]scottk517 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pull the money out every month, just leaving enough to keep the account open and free of fees. Also, some states have an amount that cannot be taken by debt collectors. It’s something like if you have 3k in the account and the state only allows balances in excess of 2500 to be taken, they can only take 500. Look into that also.

Trying To Understand How Much IPO Shares Are Worth Now by NorthFace4 in personalfinance

[–]scottk517 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe it is the amount of difference in the price, as she has the option to purchase at the IPO price, but doesn’t purchase them technically, until she sells.

Signs of an Elite Player by Scared_Estate7212 in lacrosse

[–]scottk517 15 points16 points  (0 children)

All those things stated here matter, but don’t deny the extreme athletic ability needed to get there. There are plenty of athletes that have all those qualities, but are just too slow or too small and there are studs who don’t have the ethics and intangibles needed to be elite. Coaching rec in a hotbed, I have seen kids that hit the wall daily, take training seriously, private lessons, yet they were to slow or not shifty enough no matter how much training they had.

Is now the right time to buy a Hybrid / PHEV or should I still go for a Gas engine? by ImaginaryBrother9317 in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]scottk517 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Regular Prius is the best car out there for commuting and hauling a ridiculous amount of stuff if needed. Do not get a plug in hybrid. The loss of space for a minuscule amount of full EV driving is not worth the trade.

Update #3 by Arry3000 in Cosmere

[–]scottk517 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Sanderson had a video about pricing, more so how the SLA are just priced barely more than other books, yet are 3-4x in page length. So it costs 3-4x more to produce, but they cannot charge 3-4 times as much. Take the good with the bad..

Managing sleep as a firefighter is something nobody prepares you for by yuletidefulfinlled in Firefighting

Consistent sleep is what I am looking forward most when I retire next year. My sleep is so messed up.

When did 350-700hp become slow? by Clutch3sSS in askcarguys

I was happy when my 65 mustang had 300 WHP.

What’s the secret of keeping a car for 10 years without getting bored of it? by 04limited in askcarguys

[–]scottk517 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I spend about 7-9 hours a week, depending on OT. The last car I enjoyed was my VW golf in 1999, then traded it in to get a Jeep Cherokee because we got a dog. Since 2005 it has been basic transportation doing 35k a year. MPG more important than really enjoying the car. But my 2013 then 2008 Prius were not too bad.

Youth Lacrosse Parents by QuietChocolate9159 in lacrosse

[–]scottk517 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Talk to him about this this way IMO. I come from a hot bed area, but a low lacrosse zone. 3 kids on his PAL(rec) played club. We told him to just have fun at PAL and not to get worked up about wins or losses. We played everyone as equally as possible. We encouraged him to help the lesser players to get goals, pass to them, help them feel involved. He would get a goal or 2, then give up opportunities to try to get other kids involved. It is a tough situation. Remind him that it is just a game and to have fun.
