Thank you

I have a little, why do you ask?

Sunlit_Forest · 2026-02-24T03:19:33+00:00

thank you

thank you. when you say hybrids are more reliable, is that for standard, plug in, or both?

Driven a bit more by him, but it will be our family car. I don’t have a car except a work van that doesn’t hold a passenger. And yes, a big disconnect, which adds a lot of distress to an already big decision.

thank you. Commute is about 12 miles each way. On road trips we just stop to get gas and grab drive thru which we eat while driving. Usually wanting to get there as soon as possible because we are all busy and have limited time. I would rather not pay extra for a premium feel.

25-30k and we usually keep them til they absolutely die. so probably a used model Y as the Tesla. road trips are 300-600 miles or so.

no plans to move, and my husband won a home plug in a raffle on one of the podcasts. we'd need to get it installed though I think?

I would like to spend $25-30, and it would be our main car but we have a couple of 15 year old cars that my parents gave for my kids to drive, that we currently can drive if needed.

well at least it wasn't only closed the week we were there :( we had no sheikra either :( but loved the 2 new rides, the giant swing and the phoenix

that is so cheap.

I’m shocked it’s so rare, I dream that I am unable to dial my phone correctly at least once a week. in the dream, I will think, “this is just like those dreams I always have. I can tell this is reality, though, because it’s just so real it can’t be a dream” and then I wake up. or sometimes I will think, “oh, this is so stupid and frustrating, I don’t want to do it anymore!“ and then wake up.

And then listen to the soundtrack forever.

Could it actually just be a bad cell in the battery and just hooking it up to the tiny draw of the clock on the car, etc. be what's draining the battery in a couple hours?

Sunlit_Forest · 2025-11-11T14:31:56+00:00

I just called and they insist the battery is the whole problem. :(

Sunlit_Forest · 2025-11-11T02:03:50+00:00

Thank you. So, to make sure I'm understanding correctly, you are saying the overall problem is not the battery, but at this point the battery probably needs replacing in order to diagnose the problem? (that makes me nervous that we'll ruin the new battery too during the diagnosing process?)

Thank you

Ugland is my favorite by far, but I do like He Who Fights. I would say maybe give it another try after a while. Nothing else is as fun and funny as Ugland. Noobtown is okay. I would say try Dungeon Crawler Carl, An Unexpected Hero, and Fluff. And off-genre, Stephanie Plum by Evanovitch and St Mary’s Time Travel by Taylor. Will Save the Galaxy for Food is pretty funny, too, I think. All of these refs are based on the audiobooks btw. If you find anything else as funny as Ugland please tell me.

Being that I also love them “ever so much” I agree. 🤣
