    What vehicle do you drive?

    There were rumors that it was going to come over as a badge engineered Nissan with potentially a modified powertrain, but the attempted splits from Renault probably killed that idea. https://www.forbes.com/sites/peterlyon/2021/10/24/nissan-eyes-mid-engined-sports-car-based-on-alpine-a110/

    They make a Febreze without the godawful perfume. Don't ask me why, but it's an absolute pain in the ass to find in stores. https://www.febreze.com/en-us/products/fabric-refresher-scent-free I think I had to buy it online - I think I used Target since that's something I don't want a knock off...

    Robot Vacuums and Robot Moppers

    I use the term loosely, it was one of those huge clumps of crab grass. I need to re-seed that area and purge some of that shit. Did a little reading of the manual this morning. I had the mower set to sensitive mode. They recommend turning that off in high grass - it overrides using the...

    I broke down and bought the Luba 2 for my place. I very nearly boxed it back up and returned it - the day I was setting everything up, the app wasn't available in the google play store, it was set to early access. I'm curious what you mean with the antenna mast - I threw it together not really...

    Alright, I tolerate Mason jars in trendy restaurants because they're probably really fucking cheap and durable, but if you are a place that buys Mason jar beer mugs with a handle, fuck you. I guarantee they're no longer cheap, and now I'm drinking from an inferior glass with pointless threading...

    Well hell, I was curious that the update wasn't pushed to me yet, so, like an idiot I checked for updates. Now it's scheduled to install on Saturday. How fucked am I?

    2024-2025 NFL Season - Dak Prescott's MVP Tour Part 2

    To be fair, 7 of the last 10 winners were either Mahomes or Brady and Hurts/Stafford/Mahomes are the only ones not retired. Mahomes and the Chiefs have also been cleverly restructuring his contract by pulling more off the back end of the deal a few times now, so, his pay is actually a bit...

    2024-2025 NFL Season - Dak Prescott's MVP Tour Part 2

    Before they finally locked down the pay scale for draft picks, a first round QB almost always was the starter year one since so much money was being dumped there. The draft in 83 was probably the best QB class - you had 6 QBs taken in the first round, 3 of which were hall of famers (Elway...

    Been a long time, but once you install it, it should walk you through all the settings that need to be changed to enable it. Definitely worth a shot I'd say, although I'm getting very close to dropping Samsung (and Android) myself for other reasons.

    Have you tried a keyboard replacement? I hate Swype in general, so, can't comment on its functionality, but I've always been happy with SwiftKey. It's gone downhill a little bit since Microsoft bought it (fuck Bing), but not enough to get me to look at switching.

    So, he said base price is 40k and it will option up to the 50s. Then he said they were working on a more spartan work truck variant. Not clear to me if that work truck is what they're targeting as 40k or it would be even less. 40k for that is a non-starter in my book, I think this will be a Fisker.

    I thought the consensus was to start at 45 for average risk (no family history). Is it 40 now? Fuck. Next you're going to tell me they revised prostate exams down too.

    I actually agree with Steven A, it is Kaepernick-like. Both cases you have a me-first player of questionable talent that will bring along a giant media circus and a bunch of teams noping out of that bullshit. Where I differ - I really don't think there's any collusion going on in either case...

    He's 31, I'm thinking he's using it as an excuse to stay out of off-season conditioning and minicamp. I think they have too many pieces in place to get rid of him and signal a total rebuild.

    They look super pedestrian on the road. The few times I've seen them, they've only stood out because of the loud color of the exterior - they did at least pick some nice ones. Definitely near the bottom of the list for a vehicle I'd get.

    Not for that price and mileage. It looks pretty clean, but I feel like it'd be a money pit. I just saw a Cayenne with some aggressive offroad tires today - not 33s like this, but it looked pretty good.

    I don't mind it in an EV so long as you can turn it off. The sound is missing when you accelerate and it's kind of fun to have that in small doses. It's better than the inverter whine you get on some. On an ICE vehicle, especially a V12, I'm mixed. If you're piping in the actual sound into the...
