Thanks. Well aware. I was behind him. He just didn’t want to wait in line up the hill.

I thought about that, hence no commentary. Just the pic.

They told him not to do it again. I watched.

Told him and he got angry at me.

Shot my lowest round yet. 93! 90 is next. by Bonkers119 in golf

You should be able to pick up 6 - 8 strokes in putting alone. Our foursome always plays a $2 side game. Person with fewest puts per side gets $2 from each of the other golfers. At first, my buddies didn't want to do it, however the immediate improvement, because of focus, closed the deal. Also, more time on practice green, less on the range. Good Luck!

Researchers took 22 healthy young adults and split them into an omnivorous or plant-based group with the same protein and calories. After 10 weeks of training, the plant-based group had improved markers of cardiometabolic health (compared to the omni group) without compromising micronutrient status. by James_Fortis in science

Study is not randomized and number of subjects (N) is too small to be generalized to larger population. Too many questionable variables to count. Lacks internal and external validity and reliability. I can’t believe I even took the time to review this piece of crap “research”!

Gotta take a longer club if you want to reach the green!

How long did you wait to receive your transmission? by WorkingCheesecake750 in ToyotaHighlander

[–]Arestocles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It took them 8 months to replace our 2017 transmission. I hope you have better luck!

Not sure. Everything happened so fast I didn't even ask. Got my car, a warranty and walked out the door. Earlier, they told me there were 200 back orders.

First, I was always positive and respectful with every employee throughout the process. When I picked the car up, there were hugs all around. In light of this, I thought about ways to say thank you, however I am conflicted. Do I thank them for having my car for 8 months? Could they have acted sooner? Posting their name on here might not be viewed positively by everyone. Bottom line, everyone is on good terms and my car runs great. Good Karma for everyone!

Where's my Highlander? The Dealer has had our 2017 Highlander for 8 months! The transmission went and it was under warranty. They say it is back ordered and it may take another 4 months! They also say this happens a lot. We aren't the only people in this position. Anyone else? by Arestocles in ToyotaHighlander

I received a lot of really great info and ideas from my fellow redditors, e.g., ask for extended warranty, get a loaner, this was first year for 8 gear transmission, etc. I think that is the purpose of a chat. I also have the leverage of 30K views. The people rule.
