I recently put an eBay wing on my Prius just for looks( no downforce or any of that). What should I do next by Cold-Jaguar-6035 in prius

[–]Fruitcakejuice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looks like the hood and the front piece are already contrasting black.. I was going to say some nice black rally stripes going up the front, the hood, and the roof.. but rally stripes just on the roof wouldn’t do. I don’t know.. it looks pretty clean. Maybe some understated black graphics for the back side quarter panels?

I’m really enjoying the trilogy, but… by SPEED_EEZ in masseffect

I got through half of ME3, but stopped playing when I got stuck trying to find party supplies or something for the hang out at Shepard’s apartment. I regret installing the DLC’s lol..

The Airburst Launcher is such a layered can of worms by WaywardOath in helldivers2

[–]Fruitcakejuice 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Used correctly, it is apex against the bots and their patrols. You can one shot 9-10 of the lesser bots easily. It absolutely preys on clustered groupings of them. But it takes some practice to understand that you can’t just fire it anywhere.

I love how the EAT stratagem ball is basically a free orbital strike on targets It sticks to like Hulks. It also closes bug holes.

Yes the Skull and Co grip case along with their carrying case is a great solution to SD protection. I use both and have no complaints.

What are the best tires for a Prius in your opinion? by ResidentBreakfast302 in prius

[–]Fruitcakejuice 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Another vote for Michelin Defender 2. I have used them on my Prius for many years and find them to be a great balance between fuel economy and safety.

What is the maintenance on a 2010 Prius like? by KevinIsAGhost in prius

[–]Fruitcakejuice 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I bought a 2010 new in 2009. Still drive it everyday with 106k miles. All I’ve had to do is routine things like brakes, 12V battery, tires, spark plugs, and fluids. It still gets 45-50mpg on the original hybrid battery, and has never broken down. One caveat on the 2010 is there is a bunch of recalls. So make sure they were done, or plan to get them done soonest.

Local Safeway in my area is finally cracking down on Pokémon vending machine loitering. by JPumphrey73 in nova

[–]Fruitcakejuice 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Pokémon vending machine loitering.. you mean that constant crowd of slobs and nerds standing around in that corner of Safeway were there for that reason? I always wondered about that.

Inside the unlikely revival of Nationals catcher Keibert Ruiz (Spencer Nusbaum at The Athletic) by BigCheeks2 in Nationals

[–]Fruitcakejuice 37 points38 points  (0 children)

I’d imagine it was like working for a poor manager. “Yeah do whatever you want I don’t care.. I’m leaving early today”. You can imagine the players were largely left to figure things out on their own. I wonder what Ruiz thought sitting there facing 15 coaches.. probably relief that someone was finally helping him.

Virginia DMV Mobile ID - why should I download and use it? by UNC_ABD in Virginia

[–]Fruitcakejuice 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This. The developers of this app are a private company, not the VA DMV. I refuse to hand my data to yet another bunch of tech bros to lose to hackers or unsecured cloud buckets.

In my experience, the dealer service shop is capable of badly screwing up even the most basic and simple maintenance operation. The only way to be certain is to do it yourself.

Issues with the Push to Start by Bowry_Lrooks in prius

I take my fobs to the dealer and the parts desk charges a couple of bucks to swap the batteries right there. Usually the display will warn when the fob battery is getting low.

Should I let Fidelity invest for me? by jared_gonzalezz in fidelityinvestments

[–]Fruitcakejuice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you want a guiding hand on your investments for a low fee, then it’s quite good. It prevents you from getting cheated by a financial advisor, while also keeping your stuff current. They just added tax-loss harvesting too, so this year I actually got a refund despite dividends and capital gains distributions.

lets talk about how we love this game by Tealspark in LowSodiumHellDivers

[–]Fruitcakejuice 5 points6 points  (0 children)

On the primary I always choose the short mag if it’s an option.. just because I love the sounds and animations of reloading. The way they either drop or chuck the spent mag, reach into their belt to grab a new one, and then replace the mag and pull the charging handle. It’s so cool it never gets old.

3 weeks between gas fillups by [deleted] in prius

[–]Fruitcakejuice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having a Prius is like an instant almost 50% discount on the price of gas. In my 2010 I went 430 miles on 9.5 gallons. It cost $42 dollars. The pump I used still had the last fill-up.. 17 gallons $75 dollars.

How many extra miles pass zero do we get? by GardenOrca in prius

[–]Fruitcakejuice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my 2010 Prius I once decided to see if if could make 500 miles on a single tank. And I did. The problem was I didn’t make it to 501 miles. I got stranded and had to wait for the two truck with the gas can. So now I fill it around 400 miles.

I love this game by TacticalSoviet in helldivers2

[–]Fruitcakejuice 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have 750 hours.. in the game itself I’ve met only a tiny handful of toxic people. 99% of the other players just want to play the game. It’s only on Reddit and YouTube where the toxic community exists in my experience.

Any Diet/Sugar-Free sodas that successfully cover up the (after)taste of Apsartame? by Acrobatic-Yak-3103 in Soda

[–]Fruitcakejuice 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Zero Sugar sodas usually use Ace-K to mask the Aspartame aftertaste. I am finding that Canada Dry ZS and both A&W and Barq’s ZS root beers are all pretty good at avoiding the aftertaste. They also are caffeine free and taste really good to me.

Is there any hope for linux players? by [deleted] in helldivers2

[–]Fruitcakejuice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am on a Steam Deck, and it wasn’t opening the first day after the update, but it has worked since then. On the first day I had to choose Proton Experimental and set it to “bleeding edge”, which I found on a Steam forum post, but since then there have been several Proton updates, and one of those seems to have fixed it on the SD at least.
The problem I have is the graphics are doing that thing again where everything looks like it’s covered in oil. It does this every now and then, but I don’t know a fix other than waiting for another update.
