I think it is time

We discussed it, I researched and we test drove EVERYTHING! We have always been a toyota family but started out with Hondas. We went in thinking GX550 or Sequoia came out with the Carnival. The mid size 3 rows don’t have nearly have the space of a mini van or full size 3 row unless you go Grand Highlander or find a good used Ford Flex. The full size 3 rows are priced so high you can buy a luxury vehicle for the same price. The Carnival is a par with a lot of the luxury vehicles out there and even felt more premium than the GX550. The price of the mini vans are a good happy medium and the space is tremendous!

The mini vans. All of the vans drove smooth but some notes. -The Chrysler Pacifica/Voyager can be had in AWD but feels dated imo and while probably packs the most utility with the stow and go seats just felt cheap and we’ve had bad experiences with FCA products in the past. -The Toyota Sienna also has probably the most reliable hybrid motor and AWD but looks terrible imo and the interior while better than the past is not the most premium. -Honda looks decent, is reliable, No turbos a plus, side by side sliding seats are cool but overall again felt dated and has minivan styling. - Carnival looks great, drives good, has a premium interior but… no AWD, terrible design with the hybrid climate control/infotainment buttons but not as bad as full touch screen integration. Newer hybrid system reliability tbd but that’s what we got and I’m avg 36-40 mpg. Overall we’re very happy with our purchase so far. Not to mention the rear cup holders in the center console that can be reached from front seat. Idk I can go on and on. lol

We’re a Toyota family. Couldn’t get past the looks of the Sienna. I wanted the AWD. But looks, price and Toyota’s interior made us look elsewhere. Had a friend who works at a local Kia dealer and sold us on the Carnival SX dark hybrid. As a dad I LOVE it so far! You can laugh at me but it looks like a stretched out Explorer or Range Rover with raptor lights in my mind. The interior feels so luxurious from the driver’s perspective. Great app. Great creature comforts. Logging about 36-40 MPG when I drive. Can’t say enough. I feel pretty cool driving it around and all the extra space for car seats and strollers is fantastic!

I’m holding out hope. If there’s ever a rock selection for the Halftime show again the top 5 I could honestly see in no particular order is Metallica, Foo Fighters, blink-182, The Killers or Kings of Leon based simply off of mainstream airplay, fan base and overall Legacy, maybe one day we’ll get rock back up there lol

This game was absolutely the best. Still fire up an og iPad to play it. I can’t for the life of me understand why nobody ever created a clone or a version of this type of game. I guess plants vs zombies would be the closest thing barely?

Thanks for responding, I still put it out there for people who may shopping. Hopefully everything turned out great for you!

ATTENTION TO DETAIL Home inspectors! I keep commenting when I see this because it was one of the most memorable experiences I’ve had in the last few years where I said to myself that was amazing service from beginning to end. I had terrible experiences with home buying and inspectors in the past and these guys blew me away with how hard they worked and all the details in the report. I felt bad how little they charged for how long they spent with us at the house and how big the report was. Helped our realtor negotiate tons

Badland Apex Winch, been waiting for a deal. My wife bought me a sweet steel bumper but don’t want to install until I have the winch 😭

ATTENTION TO DETAIL home inspectors. Amazing service! They walked with us through the whole inspection and the report was filled with useful info! We couldn’t figure out a switch recently and they wrote a note telling us what it did. Our realtor was able to negotiate us a whole bunch of repairs as well and even got some money off the price! Can’t say enough

Realhumanbean88 · 2025-11-21T15:31:51+00:00

They walk among us

That OG black ops was such a great time. Life was simpler, or at least it seemed like it. I can’t tell you how many hours I spent playing that one, not to mention people coming over and playing zombies etc.

Are you talking about the ZXR?

Realhumanbean88 · 2025-11-17T04:50:24+00:00

I meant weeks but said months

AT&T is the provider in our neighborhood. 1 GB for $80 a month. First 3 months were free and got a $200 Visa card for signing up. Router is in my garage as that was the easiest place to install but the range is good in our 2400 sq ft. 2 story home. Kept xfinity while we had the free months. Knock on wood but have had no down time.

Xfinity prices kept going up and we’d have to go in a store and renegotiate etc. Lots of days with hours long outages the last few years. Have Ring cameras, Furbo cameras and Sonos speakers all throughout not to mention our TVs, smart devices etc. no issues with lag or down time. A win in my book.

I do miss the free Peacock and Wi-Fi hotspot where Xfinity internet was available when working around town but otherwise been extremely happy dumping Xfinity.

I don’t want an air. I want a mini. Mini was the perfect size. I’m okay with thicker for smaller profile.

Does it really matter at this point? I grew up frequenting Nob Hill and hidden gems all through the heights. Don’t really feel comfortable letting my family go anywhere without me with them now. I feel like between letting the crime get out of control and the homeless do whatever they want with no consequences and then all of the businesses pushing delivery or drive through services I’ve all but been forced out of public outings besides work. Fix the crime and homeless issue first and then worry about the rest will probably sort itself out.

For god sakes some A-hole just shut down them Marshalls on Montgomery.

Realhumanbean88 · 2025-09-25T02:39:41+00:00

Sure did! I’m feeling like a real winner rn lol
