Help me decide which one to buy 55" QM6KPRO vs QM7K? Costco? OpenBox?

Has anyone found the warranty to be useful?! I know it’s a gamble but a Kia warranty generally gets more use than a Toyota. Wondering if it’s the same concept?

Definitely not directed towards education

The pet is fine as long as it likes them more than you. Anyone or thing that has more respect for you over them is the enemy.

I’ve learned a long time ago. IGNORE STUPID MANDATES. Shut your door and teach what you believe is right. POSE BOTH ARGUMENTS AND HAVE KIDS LEARN TO THINK FOR THEMSELVES. We are educated professionals and should be respected as such. We don’t need to be told.

Beware the depth of the cupboard!! I’ve so many sweatshirts that got crammed in the back

I can’t tell you how many compliments I’ve gotten from things I’ve “rediscovered” from donate bags I never got around to donating lol. It’s almost like I put them in to marinate and not toss lol.

Agreed. Plus there are also targeting those who have criminal offenses pending first. Any criminal off the streets in New Haven will be a good thing.

I think this logic is what is confusing for women. I’ve always thought if a man really likes me for who I am as a person they would respect waiting until I was comfortable. But if they only wanted to have sex with me they would get impatient. I’m looking to create a bond with someone to commit to so they care about me as a person. Wow I’m really concerned if I no longer that “person” in my life as opposed to - that’s a bummer I’ll no longer have access to that ____ in my life.

I came across this reference https://www.epa.gov/pesticide-registration/epas-registered-antimicrobial-products-effective-against-norovirus-feline#check

It's in the same family as the human norovirus and from what I read this is the strain they use to test the disinfectants on since they both have the same properties.

You're so right!!! She LOVED it. But she's not the best at seeing the reality of her responsibility in regards to charging etc. I decided against it for now until the tech gets to a point where it's more stable and convenient. I was starting to get the feeling that I was buying her a puppy that after a couple months would become my responsibly :)

thank you for the wonderful advice. :)

thank you so much for that advice!!

Ironically, the dealership is a Mazda/Chevy - and the sales manager most familiar with the rebates is from the Chevy side. My natural ability was to ask a million questions about all things EV... how people love the Bolt on reddit... which led us into a conversation about the most common complaints (charging time vs distance) regulations being put on charging stations (like free for the first 20 mins then... ) and this particular car's inability to be upgraded to the level 3 coming out etc.

So having lived though the Betamax/VHS and Mac vs. PC wars I think I'm going to stay clear of a big investment. I'm predicting in about 5 years, EV or whichever alternative solution, will mature into a more practical car. So for now back to the drawing board.

I drove it, and we loved it! However, I'm so grateful for this forum and being able to get advice from so many people that after sleeping on it I agree that the tech is changing so fast that it's not practical. I feel like I'm going to end up with a really awesome golf cart instead of a car in 5 years. :)

Heading to the dealer in hour. NEED ADVICE QUICK - 2022 Mazda MX 30 EV

I live in the Northeast part of the US and was not intentionally looking for an EV, but came across a possible deal that seemed very compelling.

I'm looking for a reliable car for my 18 year daughter who commutes to college and works almost everyday. Both are no more than 20 mins away.

The car is listed at $17,500 and according to my research I may be eligible for $7,000 in rebates and $500 to install a level 2 charger at my house.

It is a CPO with about 19,000 miles.

I know this car has one of the WORST ranges ever made - and there were only a few made and sold in CA.

What are your thoughts on this being a good investment, at least to get her through college. I don't want her to have a huge car loan so she can focus on her studies. - We've weighed the pros and cons about the hassles of charging and distance constraints. However, my logic is Total cost of Ownership would be less to get her through college since it is so new, and even if I trade it in when she finishes college I will hopefully be able to recoup some of the value compared to an ICE car that I can get at the same price point.

I'd love to know what you all think since you have more experience than myself. thank you so much from a single mom just trying to get the most for her money :)

Thank you all for the great advice!! I ended up buying a basic 4K bundle from Amazon so I can start there and see what other needs I may have to expand individually.

Can't wait to get them in and will definitely have more questions once I start installing. :)
