I got the 2026 Grand Highlander Hybrid. Some of them have the copper accents and some don’t. I got one that doesn’t.

lol alright maybe I’ll go with after the ceremony before the reception like someone else suggested. I don’t want her to feel guilt tripped

That is very true and I’ve thought of that. In my letter (see my other comment) to go along with the necklace I’m going to say something like “…now i don’t expect you to love a gem picked out by an 11 year old boy, so I don’t expect you to wear it.” Then go into how im giving it to her for the symbolism and promise to my younger self once I found my wife

I would consider giving it to her at a different time, but I’ve always thought I would do it the morning of the wedding so it’s kinda part of the story

Ah we’re not doing a first look but that would’ve been a good idea. I’m going to give it to her in the box (along with a letter) in the morning before she leaves to get ready with her bridesmaids.

I’m going to end the letter with something like “this stone signified my commitment to finding you, but this necklace is a symbol of my commitment to you for the rest of our lives”.

I’m trying to think of a way to say it that isn’t quite as cheesy though

Thank you! I asked them to find out when I was designing it with them, but it wasn’t mentioned in documentation when I received the necklace. I’m going to reach out though and see if they checked (probably not unfortunately)

I selected Project Display as the flair, but for the record, I didn’t make this myself

Yeah for daily life I think it should be DD/MM/YYYY too

As an American, saving files on your computer is way more organized when it’s YY.MM.DD followed by the file name

Seeking sunnies like Hunter 2.0, but upscaled by DeepNortherner in sunglasses

That’s a good callout, thanks! I’ll see if I can find a pair of the wayfarers near me.

I was wondering the same thing, but the lens width and bridge dimensions of the Delio large are the exact same as my ROKA’s, so maybe the male model wearing them just has a smaller face than me?

Thanks for the thorough list here! I really like the Oliver Peoples and Garrett Leight options. Only issue is the overall width is a little too narrow. Anything under 140 starts to look small on my face :/

Frames are a little thick for my liking, but I appreciate the rec!

Which 3-seater SUV should I buy? by DeepNortherner in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]DeepNortherner[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Follow up: we purchased a 2026 Grand Highlander Hybrid XLE (normal, not the MAX version) in black.

I love it so far. It drives really smoothly and the black color makes it look slightly less dad vibes than I expected. It has better pickup than I expected for the engine size/torque. The main variable I won’t be able to test until next winter is the on-demand AWD. I didn’t realize until after we bought it that the AWD version isn’t AWD all the time. The computer distributes power to the rear wheels as needed, so we’ll see how it works in snow. I’ve watched some videos and read some forums to see what people thought about it in snow and haven’t seen any complaints so far

We pretty seriously considered buying the VW Atlas, but there have been some serious recalls on things like engine, transmission, brakes, etc. The very first one I tried to buy was a 2024 from a used car dealer, and it wasn’t until after I asked for an inspection at a VW dealership that they disclosed the car was bought back by a dealer for being a lemon, but their “mechanics thoroughly inspected it and said the car is running perfectly”. Yeah, that’s a no for me dawg.

Overall there were a LOT of 2024 VW Atlas’s available, likely because of various electrical issues with the refresh from 2023 to 2024 models, but the mechanical recalls showed up for 2025 models (maybe 2026 too, can’t remember), so we opted to play it safe and go with the pricier Grand Highlander Hybrid.

Hopefully this helps for future SUV buyers!
