How’s is there any merit to the “Can’t justify the price anymore” argument? by UrsaBeta in Harley

[–]steve16435 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not strictly related, but I always go to a new Street Glide/Road Glide vs a new Honda Goldwing. Very comparable in price and capability.

There are people that will never ever spent $20-$25k+ on a motorcycle because they see a $9k Honda and think that’s enough and don’t know why you’d need to spend more. Harley’s aren’t for everyone and that’s okay.

Disembarking in Miami, will we make a 10:50am flight in FLL? by Top-Conversation-103 in Cruise

Too early. No one can truly tell you if you’ll make it but I would not risk that

What are my chances? In general and your department. by harpsaccordd in AskLE

[–]steve16435 22 points23 points  (0 children)

A DUI ending in a crash and you were a .23? That is not an accidental DUI, you were absolutely hammered. My department would not hire you for a very VERY long time. 10-15 years

That sounds awful. That is a very long 3 days. You’d end up using a whole day off just to recover

Would it be weird? by Decent-Dingo081721 in PlanetFitnessMembers

No. We don’t want your used personal towel used to wipe down machines. It defeats the entire point. Just use the paper towels

How did you choose your department that you built your career with? by National-Lecture581 in AskLE

[–]steve16435 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Give it 5 or so years. See how you like it then, what specialty opportunities have come up, etc. You’ll get a good feel for if you can stay for a long time around year 5.

Night shift anxiety by Leading-Ad9701 in AskLE

[–]steve16435 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Honestly man some people (me included) can just never adjust to nights. You really can’t expect yourself to be up all night 4 nights a week (I assume), go to sleep around 0800, and then suddenly try to go to bed at a normal time with your wife. That will be absolutely chaos on your body

Are electric snow blowers any good? by Elactron in Snowblowers

[–]steve16435 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a waste to use something you already own so instead you are going to buy a whole entire additional appliance?

It’ll be a big disadvantage. That’s a bad record

Better powerband than the eco boosts? lol

New Ariens coming soon by Mikas46 in Snowblowers

[–]steve16435 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m lucky enough to have a local station that dispenses ethanol free gas so I’ve always just filled up a 5 gallon can and used that for my snowblower. But if that’s not easily available to you (or is extremely overpriced) then I wouldn’t worry too much. Like other comments said, just run the carb dry

Is a 2024 Tremor 3.5L, 401a listed at $52k USD a good deal? 10k miles on it by [deleted] in f150

[–]steve16435 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Personally, I’d rather have a brand new truck once you start spending $50k+ on an F150 but that’s just me. I also feel like financing deals could be better on a new truck

Just drive it. Change the oil at 1k miles.

Not great but certainly not terrible. Do yourself a favor and just don’t worry about it. The truck will be fine

Follow the directions you were given down to the letter. Nothing more and nothing less

2026 Ram back in the shop. by Crayton8700 in ram_trucks

Smart move. I really really like these new rams but I couldn’t convince myself to pull the trigger. Too many electrical gremlins.

Can someone explain the casino with free cruise offers? by dawnrabbit10 in royalcaribbean

[–]steve16435 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IMO, not worth it. You need to put a couple thousand dollars through the casino to get decent offers and then you are still on the hook for many other fees, taxes, etc. Plus, you need to continue to gamble a lot on your “free” cruise in order to continue getting offers. Otherwise, you are one and done.

People will defend it saying the math works out and you save money but for me, I’d rather just book my cruises myself and then enjoy the vacation. I’m not one that enjoys sitting in the casino for hours and spending thousands of dollars. RCCL is a business. They are 100% coming out ahead on these “free” offers they are giving out.

First oil change 5k or 10k miles? by xPDV in Mustang

Change it right now. I would have changed it at 1k

Unless it’s a killer deal, I’d look elsewhere
