OT 21: DFD Giveth and DFD Taketh Away

TK, while you’re staying in El Segundo, if you guys want to go out for some nightlife, just down the coast you’ll hit the Hermosa Beach pier. Lots of bars, jam packed every night, generally good vibes. Haven’t been there in a while, but The Underground is right off the pier and has pool, shuffleboa...

I dont hate it.
For the first time? I've seen hundreds... I've even rented two :lolol: I've logged probably 1K miles in them, they're nice. That 10 year old one though, holy shit it was bad.

Car Talk 6: Best of times and Worst of Times

If I had to commute and was blowing fat stacks getting to my job I would buy a Prius Prime XSE for $40K, NOT a Model 3. That way when I wanted to drive someplace fun away from my job on the weekend I could actually do so. I think there is part of the Tesla buying population that hates cars, hates i...

Right. Never going to buy a Tesla. Your red Model 3 above with the custom wheels is a major outlier. My weirdo neighbor and his wife across the street appear to be some sort of COVID refugees from El Lay....they have a white model 3. My ride from LAX to home in the back of a newish Model Y getting ...

I actually had some interviews last week and I think would’ve gotten an offer but bowed out. It was for a company called Howard Technology, they’re a value added reseller, it was selling tech products to business/corporate clients. NC is an all new territory for them so it would be quite high risk/h...

5 weeks in with baby Bea. Was going smoothly then she stopped gaining weight. Unsure of the reason but she can no longer breastfeed. She’s not taking any milk from Lisa. So back to bottles and looking into a possible tongue tie. I can’t do this again. The tongue tie exercises and oral function stuf...

The bolded is what :triggered: me about this entire industry. I think it's half a big sham to get people to continually blow insane money on this stuff as obviously everyone is very concerned about their kid's safety.

It's unreal how big those things are. Our last infant seat was a Graco. It seemed ok. Well new crash reports came out and that used to be ranked high and now it’s awful.

I disagree on the Miata comparison, the S2000 is another league. Sure, Miatas can be modded, but the S2K has performance suspension out of the gate and a race car-esque engine. Miatas have none of that. yea, its better, but it was a 'tweener' between the miata and a cockster for cockster money...fo...
