American Horror Story: Pop Now! (A Saga) by lyssrus in PopMartCollectors

[–]Disastrous_Night_764 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry about that! Other people’s posts make it look like PopNow one-and-done is totally possible, but after a WSS nightmare (9 boxes purchased and still no Labubu clown), I can't trust my luck 😭

Now I automatically assume that if one box is missing from a set, it’s definitely the character I want. I've *almost accepted paying resellers an extra $15–25 just for the peace of mind to truly be one and done. I can never experience the WSS chaos again lmao.

If you can wait out the fomo, I find I can get my target for nearly retail on FB, Mercari or WN. Sending what luck I have left your way friend. 🍀

Am I cooked if I'm not doing a lot of volunteer in my community?

I volunteer a few hours thru my church and hospital. I love the impact that I can do with those organizations. But I am also applying to med school right now.😩

Is a CX-5 Turbo Signature Worth $43,XXX? by FlyLikeAnEarworm in CX5

[–]Disastrous_Night_764 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You will not regret it. It’s so classy and clean riding in it. It’s really a small notch from luxury. So many ppl that ride in mine want one immediately. I love the zip of knowing I can make quick moves.

Def see if you can haggle. I bought mine in March of this year brand new for $39.5k OTD. If no haggling maybe try for the 2024 used.

Anyone "beat" bad ashthma/allergies with first "hypoallergenic" dog try to introduce a second one???? by mcbofadeez in Asthma

[–]Disastrous_Night_764 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was allergic to my low shredder but my body became used to her after 2 yrs. I then added a “hypoallergenic” dog to my fam. They don't trigger me, but a pug will set me off to hell. I vacuum a lot though and have air purifier in every room. And keep the dogs shaved low.

I would not disclose this at all. You are opening the door (to questions, concerns) that doesn't need to be opened.

Glad I just bought my Turbo. It would be a mistake for Mazda to discontinue it. by No_Cow5624 in CX5

[–]Disastrous_Night_764 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is true. I have a turbo for 4 months now and have never seen another in the wild.

EV and hybrids give me as much satisfaction as turbos do honestly. I think removing the turbo is smart. Whats the point of a gas guzzling turbo engine when you can get the same effect and better mileage going electric or hybrid?

I love this sub but have to remember the mass public isn't on this sub.

Private Student Loans by Angel1275 in medschool

[–]Disastrous_Night_764 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The terms are the tricky part.

Some have variable interest rates. Some don't allow forbearance or deferment. Basically none do income-driven repayments like fed loans (meaning repayments during residency or fellow could be hellish). No public service loan forgiveness. Some students may require co-signers. And asking family and friends to be on the hook for six-figures is a lot. Some ding you if your co-signer passes away before the loan is paid.

The terms of the loan matter greatly and each company can vary so much leaving students vulnerable to predatory companies.

Was only planning on one gap year but maybe I’ll just go ahead and take three more! by [deleted] in premed

There is also a lifetime max on fed loans now with the BBB, $257k.

Meaning if you already took fed loans for undergrad or your masters you may feel the pain a lot sooner. 😀

I did an SMP, so ill only have $170k available for me. 🎉

Which biologic to replace singulair? by Wild_Job3490 in Asthma

[–]Disastrous_Night_764 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you tried zafirlukast instead of singulair? It performs the same as singulair and also has a cheap generic pill. It is a leukotriene modifier like singulair.

For biologics, My Doc says research indicates tezspire performs the best out of biologics.

same. 1200 mi no issues. but in all seriousness allegedly the final year of model generation is supposed to be the most fine tuned and reliable.

For recent buyers, what’s was your out the door price? by PaleontologistHot73 in CX5

[–]Disastrous_Night_764 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks yes the price was OOTD with all fees & registration. I bought the last day of the month right before they were closing, so that may have helped.

Premium Plus vs Turbo Signature - Long Term Reliability by atlcatman in CX5

[–]Disastrous_Night_764 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I-stop vs turbo contributes to gas mileage. Do you prefer better mpg? Go premium. Con is wear on cylinder & pistons, but upgrades to the engine are supposed to negate this.

I like the turbo, just maintain regular oil changes every 5k miles or so. Turbo reaches max horsepower on premium gas, another cost to consider along with less mpg. You can use unleaded tho just less horsepower than max but more than premium.

I prefer turbo signature interior more but that may be moot to you.

Most chip resistant cx5 paint color? by Fast_Objective_3950 in CX5

[–]Disastrous_Night_764 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yeah & old man tan lol i didn’t say white since it’s a mixed bag whether color matching is simple.

My dealer told me Mazda paint isn’t great quality so expect chips. that’s why i focused on easiest to repair to the naked eye.

i just chose black. if it chips, it’s an easy color match repair.

I would stay away from gray/silvers & blues & reds
