J.D. Vance melts down over questions about his military record
  • For me, the most surprising thing about him has been how bad he is with the media.

    I knew he was going to be a fascist piece of shit. I'm shocked at how incompetent a public speaker he is.

    He's a fucking Senator and can't answer the most softball possible question.

  • weird looking gear
  • speakers and amplifiers, technologies that existed for decades

    This is why I buy used audio gear. The basic guts of the stuff hasn't changed much in the past several decades.

    I bought a nice used head unit and speakers 10 years ago. They're 30+ years old now and still work perfectly well.

  • weird looking gear
  • See if you can find used audio equipment.

    About 10 years ago, I was looking for a decent 2.1 system. I had a budget of about $1000usd. On a friend's advice, I went to a used audio shop.

    I was able to get an older NAD receiver and nice Boston Acustics speakers for about $750. I found a new Polk sub for $250.

    I've been using my system almost daily for 10 years now. It's fantastic and I feel no need to upgrade.

    See if you can find a store that sells used audio equipment near you

  • Are cars with AWD worth it compared to FWD.
  • Another vote for FWD!

    AWD is expensive. It's not just the upfront cost of the option. It's also an ongoing cost. An AWD vehicle costs more to insure, maintain, and repair. It will also get less MPG than a FWD car.

    These will add up to thousands of more dollars over the lifetime of the car.

    Keeping fresh, high quality tires on the vehicle will go a long way towards bridging the gap between FWD and AWD. They'll also cost a hell of a lot less money.
