Yeah the whole "Why would anybody want..." line of thinking is dumb. What we want is awesome, what they market it as is pretty good and the bullshit we get are 3 different things.

I cant beieve they forgot the 6th one.

Tactics was great. I wish there were sequels to it.

This is true. I dont try to consume "dense" material via audiobook. Usually LitRpg stuff or more pulpy scifi. I straight up dont have the time to read, but my job involves a lot of driving.

The thing that bugs me about people who hate on audiobooks (Not saying you were) is that yeah, someones reading it to me but I'm still supporting authors. Sadly books are a declining market.

I listen to a lot of audiobooks, so consequently I can tell you all about my favorite characters and alien races but fucked if I know how the author chose to spell it.

"Destroy Capitalism!"

"But what about the millions who will die in the ensuing chaos!?!"

"Well dont do it that way!"

"Which way then?"

"DESTROY CAPITALISM!"

Yeah the system is fucked and definitely needs change, but its either gradual or violent and as someone who came up with rough crowds in rough places. Most people arent cut out for when the actual violence starts.

It boggles my mind as a car nut that not everybody resets their trip meter when they fill up.

Its such an easy way to tell if your car isnt acting right, when you always get 500 to 550 out of a full tank and you havent cracked over 499 in a few weeks and nothing else has really changed its a dead giveaway.

The memes about it coming starting to pop up in mid october. Its one joke about the song being overplayed, the joke is never original, Ive never seen a creative version of it. If old people have "boomer humor" whats the short term for "Millenials without two brain cells to rub together who will share on any joke that they understand"

The song is well produced overplayed pandering pop garbage. The jokes about it suck more.

Ive been looking into what I can put together for the price I can get a Samsung q990f system for and this reciever seems to do everything I want and it has the benefit of being cheapish.

Essentially I want to watch 4k blurays on a 4k tv with good surround sound. I love the "one box, minimal wires, no legwork" nature of the Samsung. That has value to me. BUT its not quite as good and if something in the bar goes dead, the whole setup is pretty much garbage. So I'm exploring my options.

Second hand receivers that arent 15 years old are still demanding half of what that receiver costs me new, and it seems to have everything that someone setting up a budget 4k 5.1 home theater could want. So, thoughts?

Ok, I need an honest, no BS assessment on how a Samsung q990d system will compare to a cheap 5.1 (or 7.1 etc) system.

I can get a q990d for $1400aud which includes rear speakers and a sub. Will connest with the samsung tv and its all just ready to go out of the box.

Surround sound setups range from free to $40,000... of course a well thought out setup will be better but I just want to hear the cars overtaking me when I watch Ford Vs Ferarri.

For the "sub 2k" price bracket. As a novice, how much am I leaving on the table really?

17x7.5,, has a made in england stamping but no definitive stampings for pcd, offset or centerbore. Look like RS Cosworth wheels but arent. Has a retaining bolt hole for the flat bolt hole cover (which I'll post in another comment, which matches some 90s ford wheels) owner says they came off a Peugeot but my fellow french car enthusiasts say they definitely arent an OE Peugeot wheel.

If he was frozen at the very end of the 60s he spent 28 years frozen and was defrosted in 1997... which was 28 years ago this year.

Want to get a hint of what Austin went through being defrosted, go check out how poorly some of those jokes aged.

For me "How long could I get away with driving like an ABSOLUTE ASSHOLE all the time before I lost my licence or had an accident." Speed limits, red lights, stop signs... forget them all. Every day I have to drive sensibly and obey the law because without my licence I dont have a job, and every day I see at least one person driving like an absolute moron and I wonder...

Because that 2 lifetimes table doesnt cost $800 thats what grandma paid for it in the 50s when buying a 4 bedroom house for $30,000 and working at the mill for 50 years was normal.

It also weighs 3 tons and given that you live in a shitty 1 bedroom apartment and have to move every 6 months to an even smaller shoebox that costs an increasing % of your income every damn time, Its probably for the best that your shit is disposable.
