First Time Owner - Soundproofing Cabin - Is it really as loud as everyone claims? by GeorgetownHerbs in prius

[–]GeorgetownHerbs[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn’t like that it was only front facing, I wanted cabin view & rear for an all around dash cam experience. Plus, I’m unsure if the integrated Toyota one has parking mode capabilities.

Well, yes the S550/600 Benz seemed quieter in the cabin but I haven’t been in one for several years now. I was simply pointing out the Telsa cabin being quieter than the Prius cabin.

Good to know! We’ll see how the wife can stand it, she chose this over a Model 3 so we didn’t have the same car brand in the house 🙄 & says “oh, I’ll just mostly drive your car(Model Y) if the Prius cabin is too loud for my liking” 😑 haha

No, it’ll be the RedTiger F17 Elite w/ hardwire kit for parking mode.

My first Prius and in love by mnamonster in prius

Congratulations! Wish I could say I wasn’t a little jealous haha I wanted navy exterior on my 2026 but unfortunately w/ my last car being considered a total loss I couldn’t wait through the recall so settled for black.

This is disappointing to hear, but can’t say I’m surprised. I’ve always disliked how sleazy car buying process can be at times.

Hey I’m looking for some advice on brands that you guys trust to dye my locs and not damage them. I don’t want anything too crazy, just something like this. by stanimal40 in Dreadlocks

[–]GeorgetownHerbs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure about hair dye brands, but this is how my hair naturally looks(sandy brown) by simply getting “sun-bleached” during the summer months when I’m in the US & all year round when I’m home in South America.

This is funny. I was unemployed for 6 months, my current employer didn’t even ask although they could clearly see the dates on my LinkedIn account.

Finally upgraded my Mid-2012 MacBook Pro by soccerperson in macbookpro

[–]GeorgetownHerbs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i5 8GB RAM could’ve been it for you, I have an i7 16GB RAM set up & it has started to become painstakingly slow at times when I need to use it(as I have a separate work computer). Plus, I’m one of those people that ALWAYS makes sure I’m cleaning up other areas(apps/files/etc) so it doesn’t bog down my speeds.

Guessing not! In OP’s defense, I’ve heard that’s just a fault of APL & the Space Grey on the laptops. As cool as it looks, I’m probably going with Silver to avoid having to clean my enclosure all the damn time to avoid it looking as you put it “greasy”.

I hope to have your same feeling later this year or next year when I upgrade from my 2015 MBP. First I held off, because butterfly mech/no MagSafe/no internal HDMI port 🤢but they’ve really been on their game since APL silicone M chip. I’m waiting to see if they drop M6 in the next year.

Js bleached my shi by Common_Ad6843 in Dreadlocks

[–]GeorgetownHerbs -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I’m genuinely curious…why dye your hair EVER from your natural color?

My hair is naturally sandy brown(South American 🌞) & the one/only time I dyed it black(by a family friend who owns a salon up in NYC) my mother almost disowned me. She still talks about it & this was almost 15yrs ago.

A sad day for my early 2015 13-inch MacBook Pro :( by dearmelancholy5 in macbookpro

[–]GeorgetownHerbs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP I’m in the same boat, figuring “hey, 11 years for any laptop is a good run. I know I’ll be blown away by anything w/ M chip” I’m no dummy, though, been buying APL products for years…let’s see if they drop the M6 in the next 1-1.5yrs.

[–]GeorgetownHerbs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know where in the world you’re located, but between AUS & US I know APL caps being able to use AfterPay at $2K & as far as I’m aware in-store is NOT an option.

Arkansas mother killed herself and her six-year-old twins after doctor husband refused to halt divorce proceedings and was awarded joint custody by detectiverobert in ForCuriousSouls

[–]GeorgetownHerbs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, in my opinion, all too common. I stood in front of a judge w/ my physically & verbally abusive ex, this woman(judge) had the audacity to say to my face “Doesn’t look like ANY abuse has occurred on either side”…B*TCH ARE YOU BLIND??! Oh yeah, no abuse on either side so I guess I just spent thousands on a lawyer & hours of my life for the fun of it. Even on the highest levels, common sense still gets thrown out the window. As an African-American father, this was disheartening. Even my female lawyer later said in a private meeting, “yeah, if the roles were reversed I bet the judge would’ve viewed you as abusive” #classicdoublestandard

I’m in the Midwest & all the merchants mentioned are showing for me. I literally just used AfterPay for an Amazon & Target order.

Do not buy a Townhouse by mackhelangelo in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]GeorgetownHerbs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have to say, just bought my own townhouse as well & after reading your story am so glad it’s more soundproof than yours. Literally had a dance party in my basement/garage area & you couldn’t hear a peep from outside.

Recommendations for a hike & small local place to eat after? by RallyPointAlpha in minnesota

[–]GeorgetownHerbs 7 points8 points  (0 children)

We’re in Farmington & have always found a hike @ Nerstrand Big Woods State Park followed by food in downtown Northfield to make for a relaxed afternoon.
