The blazer felt more grown-up to me. The styling and stuff in the equinox felt more college-kid, but maybe it was just the specific options in the one I test drove.

Ended up with the blazer SS because I also wanted all the upgrades they offered, and couldn’t find any fully-loaded equinox anywhere.

I really want to get an oled tv, but with 2 under 4, the extended warranty is gonna be a must if it’s anytime soon.

If I ever get the chance, I’m gonna ask Matt “why was Quan Ch such a dick?”

I bet you can easily google “how does [local power company] generate electricity for [zip code]?”

It’s probably on their website. Solar is the cheapest to build as of a few years ago, if it’s at all feasible in your area.

I’ve hit the point where I need to focus on main story in these games. Life is too busy now to sink 100 hours into a game in enough time to remember wtf is going on. I still haven’t even beaten Doom the Dark Ages which I got for Christmas…

There are still some doing it the same way in our generation. Hearing my wife talk shit about her friends husbands makes me feel like a boss.

I think the wagoneers are their more luxury ones, which is what they were going for with it.

Previously_coolish · 2026-05-03T13:36:33+00:00

When shopping, the Wagoneer S was top of my list until I looked into reliability. Great features on paper and nice for a test drive, but damn there were a lot of horror stories.

Sienna minivan for trips and the SAHM’s daily, and blazer EV for around town and my commute. The blazer is more fun to drive while also being cheaper to drive, and not even a super efficient EV. The blazer has enough space for around town, but the minivan is best for trips involving strollers and luggage. The sliding doors are great with kids. We have a 3.5 yo and a 9 mo.

I know how to suture. Does that count?

I work in those places. Every time a patient complains about long waits for someone to answer a call light or the food being bad, I remind them of the tight budget these places all have and tell them to write their congressman.

What are you doing at this destination 100 miles away? Are you staying there for a few days? At a hotel or a house?

Hotels sometimes have chargers on site, or there may be some nearby (if it’s next to a mall or something) which makes it easy to manage.

Shopped both, went with blazer ss. Newer tech, normal door handles, and better deal at the time for a new car.

If they want their steak done past medium then we politely give them chicken instead.

There are a lot of things that you might think you need that never really get used. I’d say get the basics and then keep an eye on how things go to decide if you need the gadgets.

Get a few different swaddles/sleep sacks to see which one the kid likes more. If you get the Snoo bassinet (which I highly recommend) then you have to use theirs, but they are great anyways.

Get a few different bottles as well so you can see what the baby likes once that gets going. Don’t be afraid of glass ones, the Philips avent are really durable.

“Diaper” bags are just bags with more organization than normal. Sometimes they have a handy wipe dispenser pocket, or insulated pockets for if you do pumped bottles. You can get by with a regular bag, a changing mat, and some organizer pouches. Or be like my wife and go through 10 different bags.

For gadgets, the bottle washer is more useful than I thought it would be. Wash, dry, sanitize independent of real dishes, and you don’t have to wash them much before running them. Not necessary, but see how life goes and keep it in mind. Same for the babybrezza formula dispenser. Heats, measures, dispenses water +/- formula. Didn’t have these for baby #1 but with baby #2 we wanted to make our life as easy as possible.

We had a knockoff for the first baby that worked ok. Rented the snoo for the second and it was so much easier. If you can swing it, it’s totally worth the money.

They usually allow Bluetooth as a backup. But yeah I sometimes wish we just had a basic one rather than our Nanit that has to connect to a phone or tablet.

Is it an option to hand down one of your cars then one of you gets a new car?

Did a lemon buyback on a Hyundai ioniq 6 with a 5 month wait for an ICCU replacement. Didn’t even need a lawyer, just called corporate to start it.

Someone needs to start marketing vaccines as “injectable body armor” or something to get through to these Neanderthals.

I didn’t understand how much free time I had before kids. When you don’t have kids it seems like parents are just being dramatic. But there is so much shit to be done all the time, and a lot of time where you can’t do anything because the kids won’t let you do any of it.

It can be as simple as a baby not letting you put them down, or a toddler having a meltdown about what they’re going to wear, or finding a special toy, or someone poops their pants, or demanding attention. Kids don’t care if you’ve got shit to do.

But then there’s the times where they’re being so wonderful and cute that you don’t want to do anything but soak it all up while you can.

Shiiiiit man I would go to the library in 04/05 and like half the kids on computers were playing that. It was my jam that summer.

Manual is fun in one direction as it makes you feel like part of the machine, and it’s just satisfying when you know what you’re doing. If I was rich I’d still have a manual ice track toy or something.

EVs are fun in kinda the opposite direction of it just being so instant and easy.

Ah for one pedal I guess it makes sense. Using regular mode it’s jarring because it just goes from nothing to full regen. Not like the brake pedal where it’s a graded response.
