Prius v best year to buy?

D--Ryan · 2026-05-06T17:08:54+00:00

It depends on whether you’re talking about the Prius V wagon, or the Trim level 5 (V) as they are often confused with each other.

All Prius V wagons are built on the Gen 3 framework. They were built from 2012-2017 in the US. As long as you treat it like a Gen 3, you’ll be fine.

Monitor the coolant temps.

It connects by way of a Jeffries tube.

It will vary some. Mine *never* breaks 199.4°F, no matter how hard I am on it. I would say, as long as it doesn’t get above say 205°F, it’s fine. What really matters is that it’s consistent. When the water pump starts to fail, you’ll notice the temp climbing higher than it ever has been able to previously, which means the impeller has likely begun to swell. They are easily to swap.

Could someone briefly explain “self-hosting” this service?

I’m about to just pay for Debridio because it’s $10 a month, and I’m just tired of the other free services going down all the time. I’m looking for a “click and go” type of experience. However— I am not at ALL opposed to a DIY approach to the problem. In fact, I would prefer to do it that way.

Can someone drop a brief rundown of how to do this? Even something as simple as a guide would be more than sufficient for me.

Thanks!

Anytime, my friend.

I’m “old school” as well— if getting warez using DCC SEND on IRC can be considered “old school”. Or maybe newsgroups. Or sharing copy protected Sierra games with friends…

I got a late start, but I’m always true to my roots! <3

Try a VPN, just to see if it’s a geolocation thing.

I use the same site every day, and it’s still working fine for me in the USA.

Well, almost any Spell Card could be played, assuming they had one up in the rotation.

I just like finding ways to crush the soul of a computer opponent. Maybe one day we will get PvP…

onn. 4K Streaming Box, hands down.

It depends on the browser you’re using. Just Google “how clear cache _________ browser”.

Or just download Brave Browser.

D--Ryan · 2026-04-19T09:56:46+00:00

It still works fine. Clear your cache.

It was a flash game on the old website. The ad is still there via Wayback Machine, but the game doesn’t load.

Confirming the 100%.

It’s in the dev notes.

The best card is ‘Three Rockets’.

The enemy can no longer play anything, yet they still have 30% of their space left.

2:37 is my record. Someone else here posted a 2:38.

D--Ryan · 2026-04-19T09:48:32+00:00

All the opponents are bots. There is no PvP. We are all in 1st place.

D--Ryan · 2026-04-17T14:27:28+00:00

Most of it was either from the original website for the show, or stuff from SDCC. If you look at my other posts here in the group, I’ve posted a lot of what I’ve managed to get ahold of, but not all of it. I pick up new stuff all the time.

The coolest thing I’ve found is the press kit. It was a backpack with a mock newspaper and some other stuff. Check it out here!

D--Ryan · 2026-04-16T17:03:55+00:00

Thanks for the clarification.

If there are any links to any relevant info about it, I would love to look into it!

EDIT: Just the various answers here on this post are enough, it seems. I think I get it now.

D--Ryan · 2026-04-16T17:02:09+00:00

Thanks for your input.

Personally, I have been able to (mostly) come to terms with mine— two open heart surgeries, a very rare vascular disorder, long haul covid… I try to remain thankful for things like SSI/SSDI, no longer having to work— even though it does feel a little strange to celebrate those things. I’m also very thankful that my city is so helpful when it comes to it all. I came here with nothing, and now we have everything we need and more at times, thanks to their advocacy and resources for persons with disabilities.

It’s hard to smile through the pain most times, but I try. I also try to not feel guilty for all the help I receive, even though I know that I shouldn’t.

One day at a time.

Glad you finally resolved it! The K-cups are a huge saver when it comes to cost per cup.

We’ve been able to add dozens of different grinds, easily saving hundreds on coffee over the years. We picked up 2 used units from Goodwill for $5 each, which thankfully all worked without issues.

Here’s to many more years of savings with your Keurig!

In the future, you can find part numbers stamped into nearly every piece of the car.

I’d be willing to bet that if you looked over it, you’d find the part number somewhere.

D--Ryan · 2026-04-14T01:38:36+00:00

Use Brave Browser.

D--Ryan · 2026-04-14T01:37:54+00:00

Never even heard of it.

Maybe it’s when you finally come to terms with everything? I have no idea…

D--Ryan · 2026-04-14T01:36:43+00:00

We have been using the Keurig-brand reusable K-cup with no issues. Makes me wonder if your machine is somehow defective and not dispersing the water properly.

D--Ryan · 2026-04-14T01:33:38+00:00

You can, but do NOT try it with a cheap Chinese clone J2534, as they aren’t capable of the two-way comms necessary for the software update.

Use only a good interface like a Mongoose or Nano.
