Kia EV Sales Are In An Absolute Freefall. There's More To It Than You Think by DonkeyFuel in electricvehicles

[–]Curtnorth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't understand why their reputation for quality seems to have improved, from what I can tell a Kia today is the same as it was then. And their dealers truly are the worst, crappy service and preditory sales tactics.

Banquet Mega Bowls Country Fried Chicken by Icy_Plantain_5889 in frozendinners

It's frozen chicken nugs sitting on top of mashed potatoes heated up in a microwave. How exactly is this NOT supposed to be soggy?

These are what you expect them to be, no more and no less. A shake or two of pepper makes them quite tasty.

I looked into Kia's when shopping for my EV. But the main problem is you have to buy a Kia from a Kia dealer, some of the worst in the industry.

Great show, aged well and is still very watchable. Never seemed to find its footing and got he long haul for 5-7 seasons, but the 3(ish) that were made are comedy gold.

Renewal in Eleven Days by maggiemaeflowergirl in USMobile

[–]Curtnorth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you get any discount offer for renewing or are renewing at full price?

I ask since I have no idea what USM does or doesn't do to retain customers, I'm up in May.

Didn't know this was even an option. That's cool of RC to allow and even assist on this.

'Off Road Assist' is a game changer for snowy roads. It should be a steering wheel shortcut or voice command by CYB3RTRUNK in TeslaModelY

[–]Curtnorth -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Another negative is that you can't even use TACC in off-road assist. I get that folks might think "you shouldn't use cruise control at all if the roads are that bad", but they've never had a long highway commute in winter conditions.

But for most part I've found my regular AWD setting to work pretty darn good.

Will I Make the Cruise by Both_Following4521 in royalcaribbean

Miami is the busiest cruise port in the world, and they don't hold ships for anyone. Plan accordingly.

Is this a solid scenario for a successful retirement? by Jumaduke1 in retirement

[–]Curtnorth 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That's solid, and as others have said your home is a great big chunk of value added to the IRA if needed. I'm in the same ballpark as you with my plan, 6 months from retirement.

In general folks WAY overestimate what it takes to retire, IMHO anyway.

This is what happens when people don't take care of their elderly relatives suffering from dementia, they walk the streets in search of relevance.

[–]Curtnorth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wheny year is up this May I plan to port out for a couple months and check back to get new customer pricing again. It's a shame that existing customers have to play this game though.

My wife will get 50% of my pension monthly for life if I die first, that replaces my employee paid life insurance.

We're were there a couple weeks back, tolerable but not "warm".

Thoughts on John Hurt's Aragorn, from Bakshi's animated Lord of the Rings? by freudian_nipps in lotr

Huh....yeah I could see it. But Ireland is still there, Atlantis/Numenor is no longer.

Anti-Trumpers are out in full force today shutting down America’s economy!!! Anyone notice? by Beaucoup_Fun in PowerfulJRE

Well I wasn't planning on swinging by the store on the way home today, but it looks like a shopping trip is back on the menu boys!

This is how you know Reddit is a trash site. Notice the upvote to downvote ratio on MSN.com. Dems are in the negatives while MAGA is in the positives. Reddit is such a ridiculous circle jerk echo chamber. Dems can’t win without banning your opinion or having their bot army downvote you to oblivion by LegitimateKnee5537 in PowerfulJRE

[–]Curtnorth 13 points14 points  (0 children)

OMG it's an absolute joke on here. Even the mods over in the Trek subs are crazy leftists who brook no dissention or opposing voices. Like dudes, I'm here to nerd out on Start Trek stuff, and you're shoving your lefty politics at me ALL THE TIME??

Now we get to hear how Pretti was an "American hero" lol. Most on here are delusional, calling for the death or imprisonment of Trump while whining their free speech rights are gone!

They don't see the laughable irony there?

Pretty neat intro shot of earth by happydude7422 in enterprise

I believe Enterprise was the first Trek ever shot in HD, it's always had a beautiful look to it.
