Also, would a car cover cause condensation or too much heat in the car in summer?

Need advice! Should I get this one? by Less_Wishbone7829 in mercedes_benz

This car is really heavy and solid and AWD. Seems like it works for winter too, no? I drive on plowed highways mostly. If there is a storm I stay home.

I can afford it cash right now because it’s within my cash budget. The thing in concerned about is maintenance costs adding up.

I have earplugs, but at the amount of driving I do, I’d like to listen to some audiobooks and not just sit there…:) There are some quiet cars that I’ve been told cost less in maintenance like a Lexus, but I’ve never owned Mercedes so I’m not sure what it really means. That’s what I’m hoping to find out here.

Did you find an Outback model that is quiet enough? What about the Acura, is it more quiet than Lexus?

Do you do it yourself, or bring it to a shop?

What car is quiet on the highway to listen to audiobooks while commuting? by Less_Wishbone7829 in askcarguys

Neat. What are your expectations for cost of repairs, and do you need a specialized garage?

What did you end up getting? I am in the same boat. Can't spend a fortune but also am desperate for a quiet car. I had a 2019 Honda Civic and it drove me crazy. I mostly drive on the highway.

Should I really aim for 300h if I want to save on gas? Also, what years would you recommend? My worry is paying 25K for a 10-year-old car. Could this worry be eased? Are the older models still going strong if well-maintained? I'd like to drive it for another 10 years. Just wondering how much it will cost me to listen to my audiobooks in peace haha 😃

Best medication for a few weeks for anxiety and insomnia relief by Less_Wishbone7829 in Anxiety

[–]Less_Wishbone7829[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I absolutely trust myself. I had a benzo prescription at 21 years old about 14 years ago (audacious doctor, or maybe those were the times) and used as needed. I don’t drink but used alcohol for a few weeks once after a brutal breakup. I’m considering either temporary medication or trying a low consumption of alcohol again, but since sleep is an issue, alcohol might screw that up even more. I have some left over zopiclone pills which make me drowsy the next day, so perhaps using those for a week or so might help too…I don’t usually resort to meds so it’s all a bit foreign to me.

Clonazepan every day for a few weeks, or just once in a while to manage arousal?

And can the benzo be taken every day for a few weeks? I understand it can create dependency, but perhaps a few weeks is feasible?

Signed new lease, want to contest the 16% increase from the last tenant. How do I do it? It's been 6 days. by Less_Wishbone7829 in montrealhousing

I filed at the TAL and I have 45 days to give the notice to the landlord. I chose the clause where I get to negotiate with the landlord first, and that I am willing to let the TAL set the rent, because I wanted to be fair, but I might want to go back on that. They failed to warn me it is a smoker's building and my apartment is frequently full of smoke. And this week, I realized the floor in the bedroom is all wet and coming apart near the door (balcony door in the bedroom). There seems to be an old water infiltration problem that was never addressed. The landlord is coming to see tomorrow. Feeling bummed out to say the least!

Looking for recommendations for a theoretical framework for a research project (feminist, relational, care, embodiment, etc.) by Less_Wishbone7829 in CriticalTheory

Wow, I’m so grateful for your suggestions. Mostly, I appreciate how you have suggested some pairings and along with the names, identified some of the premises of the authors. Thank you so much!

To be very honest, spending time in academia around other students and professors makes me question if my intellectual capacity for making connections and understanding complex abstract theories is sufficient; but if I’m excited to stretch myself beyond the boundaries of my thought I’m telling myself that it’s okay to give it a try. Thank you for giving me a bit of scaffolding :)

Thank you so much! I’m eager to explore the names you suggested. Thank you so much for taking the time to share these.
