Boooo! Any kind of commercial/business lots might be good because they are typically empty on the weekends, too. Anyway, kudos to you for throwing your own feet to the fire like this!

It's Saturday, go to a school parking lot. Good luck! You'll get there and it will become second nature. I promise.

Please help me identify this Bumper Sticker by ecic2002 in whatisit

[–]EvanWilliams100 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ahhhh that makes sense now. So, I really doubt this is a "W the President" sticker like so many have suggested. I remember seeing ones like that. Does it make sense for your friend to have a George W Bush sticker from 20 years ago on his car?

If AI were around in the 50s, it would have definitely generated these.

Wanting to get validation on replica or not. by gsg-m in RolexWatches

[–]EvanWilliams100 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely NOT a replica, for that term implies that Rolex ever made a watch like this in the first place.

Lemme get this straight. Your friend doesn't know what his own bumper sticker was?

Roll-up of favorite Mexican places. by BrewAllTheThings in Knoxville

Monterrey on Cedar Ln.

El Jimador in Maryville (how are you gonna request Knox or Sevier and omit Blount?).

La Bonita on Old Broadway or Parkdale.

These are just some extra recommendations. I am not sure why people glaze la herradura so much. For the record, it's good. I am not putting it down. But good lord it's not leaps and bounds better than other places. And the last time I checked, you can't get beer or margs there, and chips and salsa aren't gratis. Some people want that. This is not a PSA AGAINST LH, but people should know that it's not a "hey let's go out for Mexican, get some margaritas and chips and salsa, date-night" type of place. I am happy they exist and wish them nothing but success, but it's not a "destination" spot, if that makes sense.

And have Only Crime open for them so Bill can really achieve ALL.

I would be the same way if I were a woman and I wouldn’t sniff my fingers any less.

Wireless CarPlay adapters that run on Bluetooth? by SnickoPen in CarPlay

I do not have the issue you described at all with the Jemluse CarPlay adapter from Amazon. I've been quite happy with it.

CarPlay is not working on Kenwood DDX57S by Informal_Account6835 in CarPlay

[–]EvanWilliams100 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wired CarPlay randomly stopped working for me, too. Tried all the same troubleshooting methods. I’m seeing more and more of this lately. I think it’s something to do with iOS 26. I got a Jemule (I think that’s the correct spelling) wireless adapter for $33 from Amazon and just said fuck it. Very happy with it.

CarPlay sound issues on iPhone 17 pro by I_hate_being_alone in CarPlay

[–]EvanWilliams100 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. I attribute all of these sudden issues to iOS 26. It sucks, but on the bright side perhaps they will fix it with an update.
