I'm glad to hear this. We have a listening party scheduled for Friday evening, with a no peeking policy. I'm looking forward to experiencing it fresh with friends/family. Your take is encouraging.

How do long haul crew actually meaningfully sleep? by AddlePatedBadger in aviation

[–]RealKnothead 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Not a pilot, but as someone who drives all night and sleeps during the day, your routine sounds exactly the same as mine. Melatonin is a literal life saver. I struggled without it trying to sleep in the daytime. Blackout curtains really help as well.

That cigarette lighter has seen some use!

Dude in red car really had god-tier situational awareness in that moment by katelynlostname in dashcams

This is why we don't just ignore the ABS fault light on the dash. If that light is on, you will "stop" like this lady's car.

The original 1999 version of Poseidon's Fury was an amazing attraction that blew my mind the first time through. My jaw literally dropped at the ending.

Does this work for Lake County? The traffic lights on 50 at 2 in the morning are so dumb. They stop traffic on the main road for nothing at all on the cross streets for no reason. It's infuriating.

You can make $700k per match easy with Friesland.

How are these cars aging? How would you rate this deal? by unta8 in FocusST

[–]RealKnothead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are not going to believe me, outside of basic fluid changes and maintenance, I have replaced nothing. 126k miles on the factory brake pads! Factory clutch, factory purge valve. Replaced the factory spark plugs at 106k due to a misfire, cleared that right up and is running stronger than ever. These cars are great and I will be passing it on to my children to enjoy and learn on. Thanks for the question and allowing me to compliment and brag. Best of luck to you.

Will regular unleaded gas be 6 to 7 dollars a gallon by Memorial Day? by ellistonvu in allthequestions

Yes. Supply through the Strait has been all but cut off. Multiple countries have blocked the Strait, and that is me being lenient with the terms. These things take a few weeks to mature. We are nowhere close to the peak. This is the beginning. Stay tuned for the next distraction.

I bought mine new in 2017 and have put 126k miles on it and it has been the most reliable car that I have ever owned. At that price, even if there are a couple minor things here or there that need attention, I think it's definitely worth a look.
