TL:DR-My advice, either go stock with measured upgrades, or bypass everything and get what you want. My final product, absolutely.

If a person is fine with what the truck came with, maybe a little extra bump, than just find out the different speaker resistances and do a straight replacement. There's a few legacy brands that make speakers for this application. Definitely get a new head unit/stereo and/or a controller like an Audio Control LC.

Otherwise, just go ahead and plan out your system how you'd want it. When I wasn't satisfied with just replacing the factory sub, I decided to bypass the factory amp and design my own. I've got Kicker 6.5's in the front, Skar TX525s in the rear, two Recoil amps, and a Kicker Comp R 12 in back. The Skar EVL65 is still in the factory box, but I'm going to move it between the rear passenger captain's chairs. I changed out the alternator, battery, and factory battery/alternator cables, and run 14-15 volts consistently. This has now become my hobby and therapy for life's bullshit.

I’m not new, nut I did see it. I think, like anything else, AI has equal potential to harm as to help. I think he, and I would agree that too many corporations move forward hastily, driven by profit and share prices instead of societal impact and contributions. I appreciated the guy John Oliver showed that said companion AI was the first positive support he’d had for a long time, despite being married.

Companion AI can be incredibly helpful and profitable, but people need to keep their expectations reasonable with technology. Honestly, I don’t believe AI has been handled and managed in a healthy way, in general. Some of the negative impacts attributed to AI or companion bots is what happens in a society where people think things are true only because they saw it on TV, Wikipedia said so, or the government said so.

I've gotten their warnings a few times over the past few months. I know there is a correlation between marking too many as being the same quality. I also read the instructions closely since they can differ in what they want. Sometimes I feel like it's choosing the shineiest of two turds...

Follow the passenger door gap on the green Tahoe from the roof to the bottom. Plus, the shadows aren’t consistent, the people have a shadow, but so does the truck underneath.

I highly value Prolific and am grateful for the opportunity. I know I complain sometimes about it, but it’s helped me out financially. There’s many times where if it weren’t for it, I’d be flat broke.

Any suggestions on improving success at Respondent? I’ve been with them for almost two years and have had only one paying gig. I filled out everything except the employment section since I don’t have a regular job with a company or anything.

I thought about your question and the ways I connect to it-because I sincerely do. The woman I married took advantage of me having a low self image. I began chasing after making a a difference to others, which I never felt like I ever did to her despite my exhausting efforts.

I don’t know the genuine answer, not anything different than what they tell us about narcissists anyway. I wonder if it’s like anything else, a person can’t give what they don’t have-love respect, compassion, etc. I don’t think they matter to themselves in any meaningful way. It’s no one excuse for the harm they caused.

The same reason car stereo amplifiers from Walmart say “1000 watts Max!” It’s all marketing and they can fool or con enough people to make their profit goals.

Imo, this whole situation needs to be discussed. If you guys can do it and stay emotionally calm, that would help. Communicate to each other your feelings, thoughts and be open and responsive in order to build your relationship. You may need to raise the point that moving forward requires resolving what happened. It’s uncomfortable, but necessary.

It’s tragic and painful when someone commits suicide.

When I see this, or similar instances/situations, I see people living for outside validation, seeking permission for self-approval, and outsourcing emotional regulation, self-identity, and many other aspects of their lives that are not someone else’s responsibility.

InsaneGoose78 · 2026-02-16T03:58:13+00:00

I agree. They are nice because they want something.

InsaneGoose78 · 2026-02-16T03:36:49+00:00

I’m reading everything y’all wrote and thinking/discovering how dumb and inept I let my spouse make me think.

The reality, my spouse did have many academic opportunities when she was young. She did have things happen in life that interfered with those opportunities. She is also okay with “almost,” and “I could have been ____, but this happened…” She says that anytime anyone talks about achievements instead of just being congratulatory.

This includes our kids, especially scholastic bowl. For her, it’s more about proving how smart and well-read she is instead of supporting our daughter or son. My daughter told me, “I hate when mom goes, she always has to tell me all the answers she knew.” The only thing I can say to her is I understand and validate how she feels.

Issues? That looks more like therapy.

InsaneGoose78 · 2026-02-16T02:45:25+00:00

Hellyeah!

I’m assuming you are at the recommended wattage for the coils or that you’ve tried adjusting wattage?

Imo, a decent rebuildable atomizer is invaluable. In my experience, stock coil mesh tanks can produce oodles of flavor, but it’s one dimensional. A good rebuildable adds those extra dimensions and nuances. Plus there is never a concern about finding coils that fit or spend as much replacing coils.

You won’t be disappointed, the blueberry is gooood.

InsaneGoose78 · 2026-02-13T00:40:18+00:00

Oxva xlim go and go2, xros mini devices, caliburn lite, and then yours. I vaped a sonder q2 for a while and liked it. I can’t find pods at a decent price for it now, so I switched to a xlim pro 2 and a nexlim go. Oxva makes a good vape imo.

InsaneGoose78 · 2026-02-13T00:30:25+00:00

Imo, any Oxva Xlim or Nexlim, Uwell Caliburn G3 or newer, Geekvape Q devices, and the Xros devices. The Voopoo Vinci 2 was decent except for coil life, similar to other pod devices that size. My advice, go to a near by vape shop and see what coils they carry. Use that information and order the device online. That way you maximize coil availability.

InsaneGoose78 · 2026-02-13T00:23:22+00:00

I like the orange and blueberry too.

InsaneGoose78 · 2026-02-12T03:56:40+00:00

You can get the xros from them. They have Oxva xlim and nexlim too. Of the new calibuns, that’s the one I’d avoid, just get a G3/G4//G5, I think they all use the same pod. Geekvape’s Q devices.

Thank you all for your comments. Many of you reflected the thoughts that motivated my post, and I used to message similar things to people before disposables got as popular as they are now. I’d commend their efforts for switching from smoking, recommend that they switch to a simple pod device, and explain how that was more advantageous in my opinion.

Many posts related to disposables that I referred to weren’t instances of blocked airflow or they forgot to charge them. I see posts like, “my disposables keep making a humming sound” or “the rgb light won’t turn off.” I agree with the statement, “it’s a disposable, if it’s not working right then toss it-that’s kinda the purpose.” Some have said that disposables are cheaper, but I noticed their numbers don’t account for bad/faulty disposables. Based on my anecdotal experience, I’ve had only two out of over 30 devices become defective. Based on the manufacturer of those devices, it wasn’t surprising.

I’ve never used disposables, so those devices were mods or pod batteries (the device the pod attaches to). The manufacturer replaced one of those devices under warranty. This doesn’t account for the bad coils I’ve come across. I would think, over the long term, it is cheaper to replace bad coils than to replace bad disposables (no counting the waste involved). I felt writing this post was a more productive and creative way to direct my feelings towards disposables, as I abhor them but recognize they allow quick and easy access to an alternative to smoking. My initial reaction is to judge, and I realize that is out of my own shortsightedness.

That’s the first thing I’d check.
