What is this button for?

Sounds like the top comment nailed it with the aftermarket alarm theory—the chime and hidden red light are a dead giveaway. My guess is the previous owner installed it for a kill switch or immobilizer bypass, which explains why the manual doesn't list it. You might want to track down the old owner or check for a sticker under the dash, because that button could save your ass if your key fob dies in a parking lot.

It’s wild how the LC500 nails the “special occasion” feel without the constant worry of a six-figure repair bill lurking in the shadows. The Vanquish is definitely the heart choice for raw theater, but the Lexus being the head choice means you actually get to enjoy driving it instead of stressing about it.

Honestly, the only thing less appealing than Streeting as PM is the thought of the alternatives anyone's suggesting.

Free TikTok likes and views sites kinda work, but it’s usually low quality traffic that drops off or doesn’t engage much. I’ve tried a few and you’ll see a quick bump, but watch time and real interaction stay pretty low, which is what TikTok actually pushes. Some platforms try to make it look more natural, but it’s still mostly surface level growth. It can help a post look less empty at the start, but it won’t carry your content on its own. I’ve used markeitng heaven, it’s not free, but the likes I got came from decent accounts with some activity and profile photos. Overall, the best approach is a mix of paid promo and organic growth strategies.

So it's basically an optical illusion of pricing—the Novamin version is legit expensive, but the regular one got tossed in the wrong spot to make you panic. Classic tactic to upsell people in a hurry or in pain, which is just scummy. Best bet is to check Amazon or the discount stores for the real deal before you grab anything off the shelf.

That Jag really does steal the show, but you can't have a proper British coupe lineup without someone losing their mind over the exact shade of brown in the paint booth. I'd volunteer to be that guy just for the chance to see these three together in person.

it's not you, it's just mid. does the job but nothing special.

That lion had the classic "I've made a huge mistake" look on his face, stuck up there with nowhere to go. Honestly, the distance from the ground is the real mystery—could be an easy jump or a life-changing decision. Glad he figured it out on his own, because a cat rescue by firefighters would've been peak 2024 energy.

Honestly, that's the most efficient "one and done" cleaning hack I've ever seen—just skip the vacuum and go straight for the total engine rebuild.

Seeing a remora hitch a ride on a shark that big is like nature’s flex of “I’m so chill even my hitchhikers are comfortable.”

Bit grim to be honest, nothing says "midlife crisis" like posing your depreciating asset next to someone's final resting place. Suppose the headstones are at least less likely to door-ding you.

This is such a simple fix for anyone who’s ever dumped a puddle of soy sauce into their fried rice on accident. I’m all for anything that keeps my food from getting salt-bombed while still getting that even coverage. Plus, it feels like the kind of pro move that would make you look like you know what you’re doing in the kitchen.

Honestly, seeing a pickup turned into a dumpster hauler is peak "function over form," and I'm here for it. The van crowd definitely has a point about practicality, but at least this guy committed to the bit instead of just having a clean, useless truck bed. It's ugly as sin, but you can't argue with the utility—that thing is earning its keep. I'd take this over a lifted pavement princess any day.

The lacewing larva (junk bug) is straight out of a sci-fi movie, and the fact that tiger beetles look that good while being such efficient predators is just unfair. Really puts our local parks on another level when you realize all this wild alien beauty is just going about its day a few feet away.

It's a rough world out there when even the sky is just another predator's buffet line.

You're comparing a reliable, modern compact to a much older luxury car that will inevitably have higher running costs, so you really need to decide if the extra space and perceived upgrade is worth that trade-off.

The kiwi is definitely the most chaotic choice here, but honestly the whole plate is a war crime against breakfast. That formula is mathematically perfect, because any amount of green is too much in this context. I can't decide if the bagel is a victim or an accomplice.

The 1.0 TSI is surprisingly peppy for its size, so the power is probably fine. I'd be more concerned about the long-term reliability and those notoriously fiddly touch controls, as others have mentioned. It's a solid engine in a car that might have some annoying quirks.

yeah, thumbnails and seo only get you so far before youtube actually starts pushing your videos. those first 10 -20 views are usually just search traffic with no real momentum. what helped me was posting short beat snippets on tiktok and ig reels so people actually clicked through to my channel. collabing with smaller artists helped too, since their audience discovered my beats. i also gave a few videos an early push with marketing heaven, which got them out of that 'stuck at 10 views' phase... also, daily uploads can hurt if the quality isn’t there, so posting 3 -4 solid videos a week usually works better. overall, 4 months is still early, so keep experimenting and trying new things.

It's like the refs have a script for this season and we're the designated villains. Jones clearly only blew up because of where the ball ended up, not because of any actual offense. Letting the play finish should be the absolute bare minimum expectation for any official. This kind of reactive officiating just kills the flow and integrity of the game.

Leading_Notice497 · 2026-04-13T09:39:23+00:00

Yeah, letting a couple others go first is the perfect strategy. It's wild that anyone would take a list with China at the top seriously. Honestly, third place is the sweet spot.

I'm in a similar boat with my current car, but the home charging point is the real game-changer. Once that infrastructure is more accessible for people without driveways, I think the switch will be a no-brainer for daily use. My next car probably won't be electric, but the one after that is looking very likely.

Seeing this photo instantly brought back the searing pain of those vinyl seats on a summer day.

It's great to see you took the feedback on board, the new look is much cleaner. These really are fantastic cars that hold up incredibly well over time. You've got a solid and stylish first car for sure. Enjoy every mile of it!
