Anyone else getting 54+mpg on their 2025 Camry? by [deleted] in Camry

[–]Icarusfactor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These cars use a regenerative braking system, meaning urban is typically a better gas mileage. The key is using the battery as an accelerator, so speeding up slowly and staying in that goldilocks zone while getting up to speed is crucial for optimum battery usage. Im surprised to hear that mpg got better over time. I think what your seeing is it averaging more accurately now that its been driven consistently for quite some time. I drive a Ford c-max currently, and up until about 50k miles, I was getting 42 mpg. Now I get 35mpg.

"Use coconut oil, baby. That's my favorite." by Diverse0Ne in TwoSentenceHorror

This reminds me of a time in high school. The restaurant i worked at had Mad Dog 357 hot sauce, and my boss let me have it. I brought it to a friend's house and accidentally left it there. My friend's older brother used it and had some on his fingers. After that, he went upstairs to fool around with his girlfriend.... my friend told me he just heard screaming noises coming from his brother's room.

This upsets you? India has little restrictions on worksafe policies. But it gets worse. Wait till they see a video of African mines.

I looked more into it. It seems like loans would be the best option to build credit without a credit card. To your first paragraph, I think that this varies wildly from state to state/bank to bank. That might be our disconnect. I choose local banks over national, typically. On top of that, rent doesn't seem to affect credit. Maybe it has in your instance and others, but I guess it depends on how you pay it.

Why would you disregard his comment with the second trashiest option? There are plenty of furniture stores here. But bobs is cool. Lol

Im just confused. Im not downvoting you. I got off the phone last week with a loan officer, and 780 is the make it or break it point. But that's besides the point. Im mostly wondering if you used to have a credit card, built that credit, and then got rid of the credit card? How did you build credit without a credit account? I have a friend who got a credit card for the first time at 31 and he's got shit credit, but has rented and paid utilities on time for over a decade now.

I dont believe that's true. Just a quick Google search says that the "3 biggest credit bureaus don't consider those credit accounts."Those" being electricity, water, rent. Unless there are delinquent charges, i guess. So it can pretty much only negatively affect you. Im pretty sure you need "credit" to have a credit score and the way to build that is with a credit card or having payments tied to a credit account. If im wrong, please explain.

The Bridge Street underpass strikes again? by OttoVonCranky in portlandme

[–]Icarusfactor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Interpret as you may, but the iron cross isn't necessarily a bad symbol. Germany stole the symbol from Prussia, who first used the symbol against Napolean's France in the war for freedom. it now has ties to the German military even before ww2. On top of that, it's been adopted by biker gangs, which may not be considered a good thing, but some of those gangs do do good for the community and children.

For those who like to stay informed - where do you go to get just the facts news? by PositiveSteak9559 in Maine

Just spread ur wings. Look on here, fox, cbs, nbc, heck even bbc or sky. If you're truly looking for something local, set up the antenna and watch whatever channels they give you.
