I always loved BMWs from the 80s and 90s, but settled on Volkswagens because I was just a poor teen or early 20 year old. Finally got the means to buy a top of the line X7, and have regretted the purchase for may of the reasons you listed.

I thought the same as you and delayed having a second kid as a result. Ended up having two more. The second kid was so much different than the first, slept fine, is way more emotionally regulated, etc. I regret my fear based decision making

This is not even remotely true. I have done a decent amount of shooting, some dedicated training, and own multiple firearms of different types including AR style rifles. Your sort of rhetoric is at best disingenuous and not even remotely tr

I moved to gigabyte for epyc builds, they seem to run a bit quicker than super micro on initial launch and product line updates.

Quite the dichotomy we have in tech. "Eh, that's progress" in one conversation, and "I can't believe they would vote against their own interests".

I ended up getting gifted a set by America's Test Kitchen. Their website is pretty bad, they actually have some fundamental books - chicken dishes, side dishes, fish dishes, etc with hundreds of recipes in each. Most recipes describe a

On general aviation planes there are usually two altimeters that are independent. The instrument a pilot uses to fly with (round dial gauge or digital version in glass cockpit) and one inside the transponder itself. If you lose your altimet

The parent poster is getting downvoted, for I think obvious reasons (instantly bringing a broader topic to a narrow political hot take), but I don't think they are wrong. From what I can tell the mainstream media (which unfortunately h

I generally don’t think all people are equally capable. I have a kid with fairly severe adhd, and i am mildly affected myself. I’m very familiar with executive dysfunction. What I have found is that it’s a muscle I can exercise and keep in

Thanks for the detailed response. Sounds like what I do too, but for the social component I try and find someone learning the same thing. Sometimes that’s easy, sometimes not. Like most people with young kids these days, I’m struggling with

If it’s important, why cede control of your own discipline to a notification loop of a for-profit company? A technique I like to use is to wake up an hour early everyday and do some studying before anyone else is awake. Making dedicated tim

Just read a fiction book that had this as the premise in a war between china and the USA. China took the high orbits and blasted the low. Personally I thought it was a a very interesting twist!

I personally prefer another definition of culture war that rises above the ever-changing ground-level arguments. This would be the belief that a person is ultimately responsible for themselves, and any policy or belief that removes that int

Walk into a big lots or harbor freight here in the US, it’s the same thing. It’s a crazy intense smell, I know exactly what you are talking about. My wife thinks I am crazy, but it’s the same smell at most low price straight from china good

Lots of opportunities for friendship in something like jiu jitsu. It's not for everyone, but it's interesting because it is a physically close sport, you get used to basically hugging everyone for a sport, it's both physicall

From personal experience with a teenager - you can't stop it. They get a device from their friend, they are easy to find. They keep them hidden, and you only find them by being a total snoop and seeing new devices popup on your wifi ne

One example is an iron overload disorder. Excess iron accumulates in various organs including your pancreas, liver, and pituitary gland. Catch it early and you can avoid liver cirrhosis, busted pituitary function, poor pancreatic function,

+1 +1 +1 to Peter Attia, huge amounts of great content. My philosophy is that if there's any single topic where I should be spending five hours a month researching, it's personal health. As far as spikes are concerned, I convinced

I would recommend anyone to experiment with this. I did, and found out I was more glucose sensitive than I expected. This led me to get more broad labs done, with which I was able to find additional treatable issues that are likely the caus

How can you consider yourself to have won the game when you clearly describe being unhappy with life? Maybe introspect a bit and consider some change.

Late reply so you probably won't see this, but how so? They are extremely reliable, extremely common (parts availability top notch), ammo availability is second only to a 9mm pistol, it's extremely easy to shoot accurately, and th

Spot on. BMI is a bad indicator of individual health and fitness. I have a BMI of 25 right now but that’s because I added 14lbs of muscle over the last year while dropping a couple pounds of fat. Body fat percentage sitting at 18%. Now, the

Assuming you read the news, that is not true. It’s the communication and social channel of choice for modern journalists, and the way it’s used by said groups absolutely influences how news is covered.

When I was in my twenties, I thought having a family before you were in your thirties meant you were kinda dumb. That’s what people who didn’t have ambitions did. Fast forward to now and it is one of my very few regrets. I have three kids,

I charge my ebike once every couple weeks. Granted I ride my non ebike most of the time, but with a daily commute of 4 miles, I can ride for 8 days straight without needing to plug it in. Not a big deterrent at all. Helmet sits in the baske

Take your work meetings on a pair of headphones while dialing in, instead of video conferencing in. Take a fifteen walk once a day while sorting out your daily schedule, working on a hard problem, etc. Personally, that cooped up feeling fro

Interesting. I tend to put a high amount of trust in people and have rarely been let down. The cases where I was let down were exclusively with drug users earlier in my life, a very predictable outcome in hindsight. I don’t think the advice
