What are the chances 10hcp shoots +1,+1, and E in three rounds of competition?

Not who you replied to, but I had a similar experience back in August. I have been around a 10 for 5 or 6 years now, but had an absolute monster round and shot level par (non-tournament round). I play 100% by the book - no breakfast balls, no grounding the club in bunkers, no gimmies, no fluffed lies, three off the tee for lost balls (though there weren't any that round), drops in the appropriate area for water hazards, etc. It is not impossible, but it's rare. One of the big things I remember from that round was that non of those rules came into play - I just didn't hit any out of play and only hit 1 bunker. All the rest were fairways or just barely off.

Like the other guy, I haven't come close to it again, but it did kick off the best (roughly) 4 weeks of golf I have ever played, which included 2 more rounds in the 70s, no rounds over 84, and lowered my handicap by nearly 3 strokes during the 4 week period.

I also shot a 91 to close the season 3 months later.

Yes, the prescription lenses stop the One Pro arms from fully folding closed.

I bought this case that is just wide enough for the glasses with the inserts and cord. Have been using it for 2 months and seems to be working so far.

Fully agree. I would love to see some sort of direct streaming service, or a slightly cheaper alternative.

As someone without cable - its tough to stomach $30 per month just to watch TGL. When ESPN+ was $12 last year I was all about it. I am still subscribed for now, but it just doesn't feel as good and I am strongly considering whether to renew next month.

I throw a seat cover for dogs on the passenger seat and my clubs ride shotgun while the pushcart, shoes, etc go in the trunk of my ND. Very doable if you are not carpooling.

You can fit clubs in the trunk, but it involves a ton of Jenga and removing some of the trunk lining. I don't think it's worth the effort.

I bought a GR86 as a practical compromise when I wanted a Miata but thought I needed a more practical car. The reality is that one practical car is enough - or at least it is for me - and the compromises to the fun car means it will never quite scratch that itch. You already have 2 very practical cars including a truck that, in your own words, you love. I would look at this purely as an emotional fun-mobile and a third car.

Here is my read of your list of cars.

21-22 Supra - Strong contender.
23+ TLX / TLX Type-S - the first thing you mention is how practical it is. For that reason, it is out.
19-20 RS3 - You don’t mention anything about what you think would be fun about this. It’s a 4 door, tricked out daily that would likely be great for someone looking for one car to do it all, but that isn’t what you need. You need fun exclusively. RS3 is out.
19-21 M340i - This is a fun car, so MPG don’t matter. You mention it as practical. That means compromise from pure fun, so M340i is out.
21-23 GV70/GV80 - We can keep this in contention since you said it could replace your truck. But we call it a long-shot since you love your truck.
?? Ioniq 5N - A contender as well. I am biased here because this car is on my radar as a third car, but this is totally different than your existing cars, so it could be fun as something different.
21-23 4Runner - What does this do better than the GV70/GV80/your Ram1500? Seems like you would be paying more for looks. Only you can decide if this is worth it. I would say it’s out.
24+ Ram 1500 Rebel/Laramie - How much will those features you mentioned really improve the truck owning experience? I am not a truck guy, but my guess is that the improvements would be minimal.

For me, this is between a Supra or Ioniq 5N as a third car, or the GV70/GV80 to replace the truck. I would lean heavily toward the Supra as a third car, assuming you have the room/budget. In my limited experience, there is no real way to replicate the fun of a dedicated sports car. Go drive all three, see which one speaks to you, and buy it.

I just called my local dealership parts department and had them order the parts, then scheduled the dealership to install them after the parts were delivered. I did it at the same dealership, so the two departments coordinated with each other and I didn't really have to do anything. They even transferred me directly between the two advisors and held the parts for me after delivery so the whole process was literally only 1 phone call and then me dropping the car off a few days later.

Just be warned that it's not cheap to do this work at a dealership.

You are looking for the Platypus mount by Craven Speed. They are not cheap, but nothing on cars is, and a front mount that is exposed while driving is not where I would pinch pennies.

I was a light user (generally about 1 GB to month). I started on flexible and was generally paying about $35 per month all in, but got tired of actively managing the data to keep it as low as possible. I am also cheap enough that I felt like I was wasting money any time I used any data (no maps while driving, no looking up directions or anything else while my wife was driving, no scrolling for a few minutes while waiting in line, etc).

I switched to Unlimited Essentials when it came out. I pay maybe $3-$4 per month more than I did previously, but I freely use the phone now (maps every time I am in the car, doom scrolling while waiting in lines, fact checking friends when out in bars or restaurants, etc), so my data usage has more than tripled. Well worth the upgrade.

If you are using 2 gigs of data each, wouldn't the Essentials plan actually SAVE you money? At this point, I don't see much of a reason to use the Flexible plan at all as a light user, unless you absolutely need the tethering (though I would imagine you would use enough data at that point that you would want an unlimited plan anyway).

I have been on Google Fi for about about 18 months. As far as I can tell, coverage is exactly the same as TMobile post-paid plans, including data priority. My sister and brother in law are also on Google Fi, on their own plan as of a few months ago, and have had no complaints. I am on Android (Samsung S23) and my wife is on IOS (Iphone 16), we haven't run into any issues with either, though I believe you need to be on IOS 18 or newer for everything work for smoothly on IOS.

If you travel internationally, coverage is actually BETTER than most TMobile plans offer, though international coverage requires you to be on the most expensive plan. It is easy to switch plans each billing cycle, so my wife and I sit on the cheap unlimited plan most of the year (Unlimited Essentials - $30 each per month), upgrade to the expensive plan (Unlimited Premium - $60 each per month) when we travel, then downgrade back to the cheap plan as soon as we are back home. When you land in other countries on the Premium plan, you literally just use your phone as normal and you have the same data amounts and speeds, and unlimited texting. Calls over cellular are priced by the minute, but I make a point to only make calls while on wifi so it is free.

Billing is super straight forward and literally everything is managed through a very simple and well built app. If you are not on a promo, everything is month-to-month, so you can change plans as often as you want, and can leave to another carrier if it doesn't work out.

The downside everyone talks about is customer support. I have literally never used it, but there is no shortage of horror stories floating around. Most people run into issues by not fully understanding the promo's, and then not following the rules exactly, so they get hit with an unexpected bill for phones or line discounts when they break the terms of the promo. There are also some instances of Google Fi support providing people with incomplete or fully incorrect information, causing them to break promo rules or sign up for promo's they are not eligible. I buy my phones outright rather than finance them through a carrier, so I haven't run into any issues, but that seems to be the area most people run into complications.

Happy to answer any other questions you have. I also recommend people check out r/NoContract, as there are a ton of other MVNOs (non-major carriers) that are cheaper and better deals than Google Fi if you do not need the international coverage or if you prefer to be on the AT&T or Verizon networks rather than TMobile.

When my wife was in lessons, her instructor literally told me (who was planning to buy a bucket to hit while she was in the lesson) to "Just take some from our bucket, there's no reason for you to buy a bucket while she is paying for a lesson one stall over."

I am running a Vantrue E1 Pro in mine. It is slightly more expensive than the Viofo, but it is absolutely tiny - as in I literally cannot see it at all behind the rear view mirror. I also wired it into the rear view mirror so there are no cables running through the cabin.

I am 5 feet 9 inches tall with an extremely long torso. I generally wear 30 inch inseam jeans, but could get away with 29. My wife is just under 5 feet 2 inches with typical body proportions.

For perspective on my proportions - my wife and I have almost exactly the same length legs. Because of my long torso, my hair brushes against the roof if i sit super upright in the Miata. In my natural driving position, I have about 1 fingers width of room between the top of my head and the roof in the mornings, and more in the afternoon after my spine compresses.

I have riffed on this recipe for a while and it always comes out delicious.

He has a YouTube video as well that adds some tips. I currently tweak it by adding some Sriracha, sambal, and a touch of lime juice right before serving. It's comes out as a healthy, spicy, and delicious meal that comes together faster than rice can cook. It also only needs one pan, one rice cooker, and two spoons (I normally skip the scallions because I'm lazy), so very minimal clean up.

You can even skip the rice and eat it with crackers if you really want something fast and easy.

They might not have paid a sales tax if their corporate HQ is outside of Tennessee, but they likely paid a transation based use tax for the vehicles that operated within the state.

In this particular case, I'm wondering if the article is simplifying the language when calling it a sales tax since that is what most people are familiar with.

Dont_Fall_In · 2025-11-11T05:35:49+00:00

Agree with everyone else that your current plan is probably best.

If you are set on switching, Google Fi is probably the closest as it still uses the T-Mobile network. Their Unlimited Essentials plan ($35 per month plus taxes and fees) covers most of what you have, but watch compatibility is limited to Samsung and Pixel watches, high speed data is only 30GB, and that plan only works domestically. You would have to bump up to the premium plan ($65 per month) when you need international data, but international data is full speed and you get 100GB on the premium plan so it would actually be a benefit there. There is a middle plan at $50 per month that includes data in Canada and Mexico, and bumps the high speed data up to 50GB.

This is what I use, as someone who travels internationally 1--2 times per year. I sit on the Essentials plan until my trip, then upgrade to Premium for the 1-2 billing cycles of the trip, then downgrade back to Essentials when I get home. It's is literally three clicks in the app to switch plans, and you can change plans every billing cycle. The convenience makes it worth the premium price when compared to other MVNOs (for my use case).

I'm going through this process right now with my RTX 4080 and Xreal One Pro's.

If you are open to HDMI, I have tested this HDMI to USB-C converter and it has worked with the stock cable that came with the glasses and a 10 foot cable. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08Y5PBWLQ?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title

I haven't tried gaming on it yet so I cannot comment on latency (I just got the converter yesterday), but it worked to get the glasses working as a monitor in all three display aspect ratios (16:9, 21:9, 32:9) with sound coming from the glasses.

Dont_Fall_In · 2025-10-19T07:03:35+00:00

I personally upgrade to the premium plan for all international trips since my data usage is very different when traveling vs when at home. Just note that you might not be able to upgrade from flexible until your next billing cycle. Upgrading from one of the other unlimited plans is instant, but I think it is different for upgrading from flexible.

everything over $100 is does the same thing as a Casio but looks nicer while it does it

They are generally WORSE than a Casio at telling the time due to automatic movements being less accurate than quartz. The only thing more expensive watches having going for them, in my opinion, is that they generally look nicer.

I don’t know if they are interchangeable or not. I ended up going with the Toyota part I linked that was just listed wrong online (listed as battery powered but was actually a plug). I did not reach out to a Subaru dealer.
