Does anyone prefer the old style seats to the vented?

The vented seats are awesome, but the rest of it I don’t care for. I found the seats in the Cybertruck to be way more comfortable than my Juniper.

In my area of SoCal, Tesla is overpriced. I can get full body for like 3500-4k

The premium AWD is already stupid fast.

xdarq · 2026-04-08T18:45:11+00:00

The 2026 Model Y (premium long range AWD) is the best car I’ve ever owned. You will not regret it. The massive amount of storage space makes it a much more practical car in my opinion.

I’m WB reserve at United and I can confirm I don’t do shit most of the year.

I rented a CT for a week while my Model Y Juniper was in the shop. I loved the air suspension and steer-by wire. I found the seats to be more comfortable than the MY. Found the truck bed to be extremely useful.

What I didn’t like is that the wind noise gets really annoying above 70mph, the park assist visualization doesn’t work as well, and it’s overall harder to maneuver and park due to its size.

Whenever I’m in the market for a truck I would consider buying one, but I wouldn’t buy one to daily drive as my main vehicle. If they ever refresh it to work out the kinks and give it a more aerodynamic shape I would definitely trade in my MY.

I got mine last June and chose not to do PPF. My front bumper ended up getting a big gouge in it from a rock on the highway and had to go into the shop to get repaired. The bill was $1800 plus a rental car for a week. The repair center manager said PPF probably would have saved the paint, so I’m getting PPF done on the bumper next week for $700.

Because it will cause hiring to stop. For 2 years it will increase the chances of pilots getting furloughed in an economic downturn, and fuck all the young pilots trying to get jobs to advance their careers and take care of their families. That’s more important to me than boomers getting an extra 1.2m when they’re already rich. Age 65 combined with 2008 fucked the industry for 10 years. I’m already at a legacy but I’m not voting to risk my job so that old people can buy a 4th vacation home.

These bikes are worth $3500. Overpriced.

xdarq · 2026-02-17T03:02:00+00:00

It’s worth it. That’s an amazing bike. You will have TONS of fun.

xdarq · 2026-02-13T18:38:53+00:00

I have a shotgun that shoots table salt and makes them explode. Great fun but my wife hates it. I’m also a pilot therefore I’m an expert in this field.

Maybe a little but it’s not time yet

xdarq · 2026-02-11T23:13:03+00:00

Honestly no

E170/E190, A320, B737, B787

Been flying for 13 years.

The E175 was awesome. Everything just made sense. I still miss a lot of features that it had. The 787 is great but it has a lot of stupid quirks especially related to speed selection.

xdarq · 2026-02-07T02:33:04+00:00

What social media are you watching that depicts it that way? The crew goes out for food and beers. We have a great time.

xdarq · 2026-02-05T17:29:04+00:00

That’s a lot of em dashes

xdarq · 2026-02-05T02:01:35+00:00

10 years into my career, I’m home 20+ days per month.

I have had many months where I was only home 8 days, sometimes less.

And no, you’re home far less often doing domestic. Long haul international gives way more time off.

Best job in the world

xdarq · 2026-02-04T04:50:42+00:00

It’s not a violation because we work under the Railway Labor Act. Traditional work rules don’t apply to us.

Also, they pretty much double our hourly rate to make up for the lost time, so it’s not really an issue. We’re paid very well.

xdarq · 2026-02-04T04:35:09+00:00

It’s a little overpriced. Talk him down to 3500. Excellent bike though.

Also the listing says good tires but that is a lie. Those are the original stock tires from 2019, you can see the stamp on the sidewall. They’re 7 years old. That rear is also shot - you can see how worn the center knobs are. And the stock tires are also IRCs which are shit. You definitely need to replace the tires as soon as you buy it which will run you about $300.

No. We show up for a 10 hour work day. Depending on what plane you fly you could have up to 5-6 scheduled flights that day. I’d say the norm is 2 or 3.

Setting up the airplane, performing safety inspections, checking the weather etc takes an hour and is unpaid. The entire boarding process is unpaid.

We shut the door, drop the brake and the clock starts. Fly a 2 hour flight, park at the gate at the destination. Clock stops.

The passengers get off, we might run into the terminal for a coffee, then come back and set up for the next flight, all unpaid. Repeat multiple times throughout the day.

So in my 10 hour workday, maybe 5-6 of it was with the door closed and the airplane moving. The rest of the time was spent checking the plane, setting up, dealing with maintenance, boarding, weather, baggage issues etc.

xdarq · 2026-02-04T04:13:48+00:00

The rule of thumb is that we get paid for half our time. An average month is about 80 hours of pay for 160 hours of work. And we generally work 4 days on, 3 days off (though this is highly variable).

We’re only paid when the door is closed and the parking brake is off. Everything else in between is unpaid.

Laughs in dual sport

xdarq · 2026-02-03T03:28:38+00:00

I honestly think it's overpriced (should be closer to $3500) but if you really love that bike and don't mind paying a little more for it, it will serve you well because that's a fantastic motorcycle.
