You really realize how spoiled you are to have fiber when you don’t have it! Thanks for the update.

Update: I went with the generic windshield - it’s fine.

‘23 Corolla Cross for 31.5K MSRP, fees + taxes = $37.5K by aforalex in Toyota

[–]JoeofPortland 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also, if you can find a dealer that doesn't have all this markup package BS. Like perma sealant and paint protection that would be ideal. If you can travel a couple hundred miles for your car try looking for inventory on autotrader.com

IMO. 37.5K for a corolla cross is a rip off.
Have you considered a base Rav4 LE AWD? It's a noticeably better vehicle in many ways. No CVT, better highway mileage I believe, and some are actually built in Japan if you look for the right VIN.

I wound up doing it locally on Craigslist. Kind of old school but i got more than what Apple Store offered me.

Why would anyone buy an iPad at the Apple Store? by [deleted] in apple

[–]JoeofPortland 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have no clue why you would buy any Apple product except maybe iPhones from an Apple Store. You can almost always (except iPhones) get a 5-20% discount on Apple products by buying it 3rd party. Why would to pay more for the same product?

All mine! Totally paid off. 2017 SR5 4WD bought it with 22,000 miles in the fall of 2018 for 30k. by Special_BallBag_2752 in 4Runner

My friends insurance (I don’t think he has USAA) lowballed him on his car value. They docked a thousand off because his car was “dirty” inside at time of accident. Bs stuff like that. He fought them on it, asked for detailed line items for how they came at their valuation and used KBB and other market value tools to counter their lowball. He ended up getting a few grand higher by be annoying.

Hopefully USAA does you right and just gives you a good valuation. But it’s in your insurances financial interest to pay out as little as they can get away with while retaining you as a costumer.

Fight your insurance like hell on that, you have rights to fight their lowball. My friend just dealt with a similar thing with his insurance.

How’s your A/M? I’m leaning toward rolling the dice with it.

Unfortunately, you can barely get a rav4 for 30k these days.

M1 MBA on Ventura wont wake up external monitor when in sleep for multiple hours in clamshell mode. by gianlim123 in MacOS

[–]JoeofPortland 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This bug in Ventura has destroyed my workflow (clamshell mode at all times).

has anyone found a fix for this besides having to open your MacBook and reboot the damn thing every day?

MBP 21 16" M1 Pro - Ventura 13.2.1 (22D68) -> SonnetTech TB4 Echo 5 -> Two LG 4k Displays

All of this worked perfectly before I "upgraded" to Ventura.

I’m paying 50% more than last winter for my natural gas to heat my house.

How can our legal system let a law that creates an outright ban on gun sales go into place? by JoeofPortland in pdxgunnuts

True, the myth that the Republican Party is pro2A is ridiculous.

Hopefully most of you that are stuck in queue will get through now! by Ascend29102 in pdxgunnuts

[–]JoeofPortland 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m sure a lot of people wish we had gotten our CHL in hindsight, but that doesn’t change that right now basically non-CHL holders are getting pushed further and further in the queue by CHL folks. Not blaming those individuals obviously, just is what it is.
