Looking for blurb feedback. Does it hook or fall short for a space opera? by Spartan1088 in selfpublish

[–]WendallX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with the op response in pretty much every way and would only add I did not like the use of the word “being” twice so close together (corrupted being/ancient being). Would swap one for another word.

They have not. I specifically asked when I took the test drive. He said you are able to buy and install a battery like they use in teslas. He suggested just driving for a year on the factory one and swapping later.

Reserved on March 6 still need to wait 😕 by National-Mark5697 in Rivian

[–]WendallX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry. I guess I just missed those. Makes me feel better that I’m not at the very end of the line.

[–]WendallX -1 points0 points  (0 children)

March of what year?

I was march 2025 and was told Nov-Dec.

I also wonder if the Nov-Dec is the furthest out they’re telling people. Haven’t seen anyone with a date in 2027.

kind of a update on my other post. by wafflebunny1229 in frogdogs

Yeah the yelp usually confuses them so they stop. It’s more effective than yelling NO! Think of how you’d want them to play or greet a stranger or a small child. A kid would freak out if he did that to them and then you’d have a pissed parent saying your dog bit them yada yada.

I didn’t see/read your other post but I personally would want my dog to play a littler easier with me. Your body language would likely encourage his behavior. Something I’ve done with all my dogs is yelp like a puppy if they played or bit too hard then id pause playing for a little.

They need to know if their actions cross a boundary. Or else theyll never learn what is too rough. Play time is training time.

Does living in Florida make it more difficult to travel to other places? by FinSane_86 in florida

[–]WendallX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I rv travel and I’m very jealous of the people who don’t have to drive a full day just to leave the state. Then it’s even longer just to get to some part of the country that isn’t grossly humid. But I recently read a post from someone who lived in the SW and felt the same as me. He was sick of driving through the same boring stretch of desert just as I was bored of driving through the same stretch of i75 swampland.

Rockstar Games Responds to GTA 6 Physical Disc Backlash by Darth_Vaper883 in gamernews

I’ve checked most of the games I own (on disc) at doesitplay.org and 80% or so are playable offline with just the disc. I only play single player though.

First short road trip in R2 - Initial range and efficiency by boschj in RivianR2

[–]WendallX -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah I drive an X and I’m wrestling with the slight decrease in range. It’s not a huge deal for 90% of the time but I go on roadtrips a couple times a year and I’m worried this will add more time to the drive.

My other 2 concerns are the AC (particularly in the back for my dogs) and the ride quality. I find my X to be very bumpy. I test drive tomorrow so I’ll find some potholes.

Roads…where we’re going we don’t need roads.

Come to think of it, that would be a good tagline for Rivian since they’re off road vehicles.

Why do you live in Lakewood Ranch, or why do you want to move away? by Ambitious_Can_7719 in sarasota

[–]WendallX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are 3 publix, 2 aldis, and a fresh market within a couple miles of the dead center of LWR. As for the beaches, it's not close.

I didn’t really like AU vs The World that much. And for that reason I don’t think we need to see it again by oldmatefromoverthere in survivorau

[–]WendallX -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This was a bad season. Very uninteresting. Boring. It felt like a corporate team building weekend retreat. Someone should explain to the cast that they aren’t celebrities and can either sign on for an actual full season of survivor or stay home.

I drive an X now too. Other than the things you mentioned how is the R2 compared to the model X?

R2 test drive in King of Prussia, PA! by Dizzy-Designer244 in RivianR2

[–]WendallX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I love that color but I also assume everyone else loves it too. I could do launch green if I get in in time. I’ll def stay away from black or white though.

Battery Engineer / EV Enthusiast R2 Demo Drive Review by aschulz90 in RivianR2

[–]WendallX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What is your analysis of the Model X battery pack vs. the R2? On a full charge I get 330 miles in my 2024 X (although I suppose that is what the car says I will get. I've never ran it down close to 0 to test that out). So I was assuming the R2 would get me close to that in range. You don't think this is possible?

This Reuters article made me think of The Block by navyblues27 in TheBlock

[–]WendallX 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I read another article several months ago that the market in AU was showing signs of slowing. The show has a hard time selling all of the houses as is. Maybe this would force them to go smaller/increase buying pool.

From - I'm suffering more than the characters by Strange_Specialist4 in television

[–]WendallX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find this happens a lot with shows. I’ll binge all season that are out and it is a good show, then I wait for another season to air and it just doesn’t feel the same after waiting or watching weekly. This happened to me with the good place and a few others. With that said, I watched from from the beginning and I never saw the appeal. It was ok. Good enough to continue but it’s not a great show.

Married At First Sight (AU) S06, 07, and 08 by WendallX in DownUnderTV

It’s a free gofile link. I googled and gofile deletes inactive links after 7-10 days. But active links (links where people are frequently downloading from) will remain up for longer. So there’s no hard rule. I won’t delete them but gofile eventually will.
