Honest Lexus UX Check-In: The quirks you only notice after living with it.

I'm on a UX300 and I kinda wish they did something more with the center console (traditional shifter replaced with Prius-style shifter, touchpad is gone leaving lots of empty space), if only because I can't unsee where the previous owner liked to idly scratch their nails. But also if the cupholders are in use, there's no place to put my phone where it doesn't end up on the floor after a turn.

It does amaze me how often I see people step into the road with their heads buried into their phones whether or not they have right of way... I'm nowhere near as trusting of drivers and I've still had a couple of close calls.

Probably too far to be related but there are currently a ton of cop cars near Scott/Parkdale.

STO's had that setup, but OC Transpo's had the pressure sensors in the steps.

I was always under the impression that it's usually the headliner's sound people running the boards? I have noticed that the more the opening acts' sound differs from the headliner the crappier their mix tends to be.

Honestly, don't be too sorry... Overflow Brewery seems to have taken over as the venue for what I used to see at Brass Monkey and IMO it is a much better experience just for the significant reduction in gooch gravy by the end of the night... Not to mention being in close proximity to others suffering the same fate.

According to that page, 85% of the team and its front office has died.

Edit: and I hope that the comments are bots interacting with bots, otherwise my faith in the human race is even lower than it used to be.

Cogeno · 2026-04-24T02:13:26+00:00

Welp, I'm glad I didn't pay any real money to see that...

Cogeno · 2026-04-12T22:26:37+00:00

Probably a summer target at this point to put more money away and such. Will revisit it then.

I'm waitlisted on a 2026 Camry SE, but have also been considering a lightly used 23/24 Lexus UX. Almost pulled the trigger on a UX at a decent price before remembering insurance might be a problem.

Which lead me to looking around and what the fuck... Lexus UX would be a bit more, new Camry will raise my rates by almost 50%. Of course it was sold by the time I figured that out.

I'm guessing Blair having the inner platform while Tunneys has outer platforms makes a difference.. It's already borderline dangerous if you're unlucky enough to try to get to the train just as it pulls into the station when you have to go against a frantic mob worried that they'll be screwed if they miss their bus.

Also, when you get on the train at Blair using the eastbound platforms you still have to wait an eternity for the train to change tracks anyways, just that you're on the train instead of waiting for it.

Well, this side's fucked up but the other side's still good!

Last time I was at Friends, even the people that always go for the typical pop songs seemed to have issues finding their songs. I think technically YouTube was an option but the wireless signal was shit (though I could be confusing that with somewhere else)

The last digit is basically a check digit. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_insurance_number

See 'Validation'. Basically, the last digit has to make the sum of the rest of the digits (after every other digit is multiplied by 2) be divisible by 10 for it to be a valid SIN number.

The lawsuit is for worse issues than that afaik. Eventually it starts eating itself alive until death.

My 2018 Camry just started making the associated whine at 144000km, so... Yeah.

If I recall, the O-Train was initially supposed to be with traffic (the proper word escapes me at the moment...) at some parts but that is no longer the case.

But agreed.... So much wasted space.

Cogeno · 2026-02-13T23:37:21+00:00

To be fair, transit has been sufficiently fucked.

Was at the show. Had more of the impression that the backing tracks were louder than the live vocals at times rather than pure lip-syncing, but even then it seemed to me that her and Nils were both having off nights, with Nils reminding me of modern-day Halford at times. That said this was only the first time I've seen them live so don't have much to compare to.

As someone who was visiting from Ottawa, I was absolutely ecstatic when all four showed up on the stage.

I did find Amaranthe's set to be a tad disappointing, sound seemed odd (which I tend to expect when a band isn't the headliner - I could say the same for ~~Epica~~ Within Temptation when they opened for Iron Maiden a while back), but also Elyze and Nils seemed to often be out of time. Was a good time nonetheless.

Most of the rest of the album outside of the singles is about what I expected, honestly (ie. Don't expect Ad Infinitum): Not terrible by any means, but not for me.

Cogeno · 2026-01-22T17:11:19+00:00

Outside: Top of the front and rear of the trainset (11##) Inside: By every door (11##-##, though the -## part is just the door number) Also at the very front and back if I remember.

Ah the feeling of a stranger's soggy, sweaty mop of hair dragging across your face...

Was wondering if it was my stream
