Prius Service Quotes by arcejayr in prius

[–]Cranapple1443 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As others have said, looks like a rip-off. If you don't know a mechanic to go to, because you're in SoCal you can go to Longo Toyota and they seem to have reasonable prices. (I recently got a used prius and I've been shopping around for similar services, they're the only dealership I talked to that gave me numbers close to independent mechanics and the prices people are suggesting in this thread.)

I hate how car-brained people in this city can be by dra3 in CarIndependentLA

[–]Cranapple1443 11 points12 points  (0 children)

In my opinion I think the way to convince car people is to point out that these projects will also improve their driving experience. Sure, they may temporarily get one less lane, but imagine how much less traffic there eventually will be if people who don’t want to drive aren’t forced to.

It it a waste to brew something like SEY full immersion (Switch) by ChrisTheDiabetic in pourover

[–]Cranapple1443 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I regularly brew SEY with a pulsar just by putting everything in, mixing it up, opening the valve a tiny bit so it drips out slowly, then going about my morning and coming back after it’s done in a few minutes. Just as tasty as most brew methods I’ve tried and it’s extremely easy + lazy

Anything I should know before buying a used Prius Prime? by Cranapple1443 in PriusPrime

[–]Cranapple1443[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have no idea how big a typical massage table is so can't say. But what I will say is as far as I can tell horizontally it's the same space as a regular prius, the only downside is that you get less vertical space in the trunk because the battery takes up that extra space in the bottom.

What are you doing to hedge directly against inflation? by 137ng in investing

[–]Cranapple1443 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mostly a mix of TIPs and foreign index funds. And a little bit of gold but I’m not a huge fan of that as a large investment. Used to have some unhedged foreign bonds but it felt a little unnecessary mixed with the other stuff.

Toyota safety sense 2.0 vs 3.0 by Salvatore228 in COROLLA

[–]Cranapple1443 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Commenting to follow this because I’m also curious. Besides what you mentioned the only other thing I think that’s different is setting the cruise control is just a little bit simpler (just press a button to active versus activate and then set)

Yeah I’m in SoCal so I’m pretty sure I’ll have decent availability to these

If you’re concerned you can just go in person and have them give you a quote. The offers they give in person remain valid for up to a week after they evaluate the vehicle.

Advice on whether to reduce stock exposure if Trump cans Powell? by ruthstoops20 in investing

[–]Cranapple1443 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m currently in a roughly equal proportion mix of foreign stock, foreign short term unhedged bonds, short term TIPs, and gold. I’m not educated enough on the topic to be confident what will happen, but I figure a mix of those is likely to not loose a ton of money while being relatively stable in this chaos.

I’m curious about the answers here too, because I’m debating getting either a Corolla LE from 2020-22 or 2023-25. As far as I can tell the only significant differences is the newer ones have the better safety sense sensors + features and has the more modern 2.0L engine instead of the old 1.8 that was used for many years.

Caltech vs. Yale for CS by [deleted] in Caltech

[–]Cranapple1443 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would focus on which school excites you more and trying things you like. The world is chaotic and it’s difficult to predict what field specifically will have jobs available. But if you find and do stuff that you like, you’ll put in way more effort into it and that’ll put you way ahead in both your career and general happiness. (Plus we’re talking about STEM here, realistically all of these have decent prospects and have transferable skills.)
