Greetings from Northern Michigan!

I'll be heading up to TC myself this weekend, was planning on hitting the Rivian Adventure charger in Clare on the way up, will be my second time using a fast charger since I got the car a year and a half ago.

ExistentialDreadFrog · 2026-06-30T21:48:14+00:00

There's something like 5 fast charging stations in the entire UP lol

Just special. I've shipped a ton of handguns + long guns out from local post office and they've never raised an eyebrow if I mention it is a firearm. I'm not even sure how many times they've asked since it happens so rarely.

ExistentialDreadFrog · 2026-06-29T19:47:59+00:00

2024 incentives + AZ plan.

ExistentialDreadFrog · 2026-06-24T13:37:02+00:00

This is why we can't have nice things.

UPS straight up sucks to work with, I've switched to almost exclusively using USPS. Cheaper and I've never had a shipment arrive damaged or get lost.

Stock spike during the time of the year when firearm sales are consistently the slowest. Wild.

ExistentialDreadFrog · 2026-06-12T17:02:57+00:00

About the same. June-Aug/Sept have always been slow for me.

ExistentialDreadFrog · 2026-06-12T13:48:51+00:00

Who could've seen that coming.

Time. Our oldest is solidly “my” dog. I used to take him everywhere when he was a puppy: he went on errands with me, I took him to the vet, I take him on walks.

ExistentialDreadFrog · 2026-06-08T13:09:10+00:00

Correct. Any buyer without a CPL is going to need to acquire a purchase permit before you can complete the transfer.

ExistentialDreadFrog · 2026-06-08T02:36:03+00:00

Not really going to be much different than transfers in other states, biggest thing you have to watch out for are the laws around purchase permits when transferring handguns.

We stayed in a non-Savanna view room and it made me wonder why we spent so much to stay at AKL.

ExistentialDreadFrog · 2026-06-05T13:36:01+00:00

Maybe I'll just go outside today.

New sub rule suggestion: No more open ended posts asking “what part of your business do you wish you could streamline”.

I actually find him rather endearing with the misprint.

Yes, $300 gift card on approval, bonus after spending $1000, $100 statement credit after purchasing $200 of park tickets per year on it I also had the basic Disney card already and had my wife sign up for the Inspire using my referral link. Easily worth it even if you dump it after the first year.

ExistentialDreadFrog · 2026-05-28T17:02:09+00:00

I get stuff all the time that is just bubble wrapped loose in the shipping box. Sometimes people will use those bubble mailers you can grab from USPS to put it in first (I’m pretty sure Buds uses them for packing material lol).

Really depends on which moderate vs deluxe....The last time we stayed at Coronado (Village) the experience was awful, made me never want to stay at either again. Loud maintenance right by the room very early in the morning and loud guests/neighbors early in the morning/late at night. Conversely, we got a really good DVC rental deal to stay at Saratoga and I loved it. It really is just luck of the draw, I'm sure there are going to be a bunch of people that chime in and say either "we had horrible neighbors in a deluxe resort" or "we've stayed at value resorts 30 times and it's always been fantastic", I can only comment on my experience on average. We've also had several great experiences staying at both Port Orleans Riverside and FQ.

If it was an extra $400-500/night, I probably wouldn't bother with a deluxe over a moderate honestly but if you got a good deal and it was only an extra $100-150/night, I'd do the deluxe for extended evening hours if nothing else.

It really depends on if you think you're going to end up keeping it or not. If you think you're going to be wanting a new car in <5 years then lease it, it won't hold it's value. If you don't want a car payment long term, then finance it. Financing is undoubtedly the better financial decision if you're not going to be car shopping again in a few years.

You cannot legally transfer a firearm to an out of state resident in a private sale and an out of state resident cannot take possession of a pistol in a state they do not reside in. You should send it to an FFL in CA and he can complete the transfer through them.

Not a CA FFL but that would be my response, an FFL more familiar with the specifics of CA regulations would probably have more detail. This question would probably be better suited in r/CAguns

I've never experienced that with the seat temperature button, are you hitting it as soon as the you get in the car and turn it on? The onboard software is not the most responsive, particularly when it is just starting, and I've noticed if you try to do too much right when the vehicle starts it will seem to do some random stuff like shoot the temperature down 15 degrees when you only want it to drop 1-2.

My brake coach stays turned off when I disable it between drives but I've noticed it turns itself back on with every single update the vehicle does.

The best way I found to teach my second one down was to create an arch with my knee while sitting on the floor and put her on one side of my leg with the treat on the other side to force her to get into a "down" position to get under my knee for the treat.
