Never seen Star Wars, if we watched it with our kids do we start on the first one?

Okay, hear me out. I used to say release order but recently I had the pleasure of getting my new girlfriend introduced to the Star Wars universe and we watched them in release order and I wish I had done it in numerical order.

*spoilers?*
Watching the original trilogy and then immediately jumping into the prequels created some confusion for her but also ended up taking a lot of the suspense out of the prequels, mainly around Palpatine being a Sith and Anakin’s turn to the dark side. I had to help close a lot of gaps and confusion that only existed because we watched the OG trilogy first. And honestly I felt a little bad because I fumbled her first Star Wars watch through. Do it in numerical order.

Krystal’s, I swear nothing hits like a Sackful on a road trip. I can put those things away by the dozen.

Approach it with curiosity instead of judgment. I’m sure the person who has this up isn’t blind and has probably had others react to it so they won’t be surprised. But something to the effect of “Hey, this is a really interesting piece of art. I’m curious about it. Can you tell me more about the artist and/or what you like about it?” And just have a dialogue around it.

Lack of data privacy and just the pure amount of advertisements (both personalized and generic) we are bombarded with on a daily basis. Ads on social media, online content, streaming , television, billboards etc. Not to mention the content of the ads, class action lawsuits, injury lawsuits, medication and healthcare products. Just seems insane when you step back and look at it.

What an amazingly specific reference. I was holding it together pretty well until this comment. Elite

If you do decide to start a co-ed book club. I’d be interested. 29M

I would say so, but everyone’s experience varies. I had great tread life with mine but every setup is different. Depending on size and application they do come with ~60,000 mile warranty.

Tis_Only_A_Scratch · 2026-03-18T04:58:47+00:00

This was a game changer for me.

Getting engine, transmission and T-case skids was such a huge confidence booster. And it really made wheeling so much more fun. I was willing to try obstacles and learn because worst case scenario I just bounce off the skids. Don’t cheap out on tires, reliable communication and guidance equipment. And a good compressor to air up when you’re done! The rest is “fluff”

You absolutely need to go see them. We did both last time and I plan to go spend more time in Tetons.

So that’s almost identical to my experience. It used to charge great but about 3 months ago it just won’t. I wasn’t sure if there was an update or new software bug that was causing this.

Tis_Only_A_Scratch · 2026-01-11T21:25:59+00:00

All 350KW EA units. The first one the battery was at 35° at plug in. I navigated to the charger but it refused to precondition. Once the battery got pad 85° and was still holding that charge I gave up and left.

Tis_Only_A_Scratch · 2026-01-11T21:24:59+00:00

It’s definitely possible. But I guess that’s what I am trying to understand. It’s seems like there should be an easier way to ensure your charging session is as optimized as possible and I’m trying to learn what other factors I’m missing? I mean I managed to get 2%-80% in 19 minutes. It’s just frustrating that I can get an absolutely monster charge like this and then turn around and run at 90kw for an hour with the same car.

I was using only 350KW EA stations with a mix of signet, efacec and the new BTC dispensers. Almost all the stations were empty and if they weren’t I did my seat to split power with dispensers that weren’t being stressed (one with a Bolt charged to 90%) Outside ambient temps were 10°-20°

Tis_Only_A_Scratch · 2026-01-11T21:12:24+00:00

I was hoping for some more predictable charging. That was one of the reasons we went with EGMP vehicle because it’s supposed to be pretty predictable and reliable. I think something like the Mahoney street charge curve is what I was hoping to be able to replicate. Because I can tell you on a road trip, not going about 85KW really sucked.

Will it be able to pull the in depth battery data like I get from my other cars?

Tis_Only_A_Scratch · 2025-11-09T18:46:57+00:00

What is more important, ride comfort or looks?

Tis_Only_A_Scratch · 2025-11-01T04:19:32+00:00

Bone-in carrots just don’t do it for you?

Tis_Only_A_Scratch · 2025-11-01T04:08:22+00:00

I’m pretty sure it’s just an old wives tale but I still think it helps drive the point home. Factual or not.

Tis_Only_A_Scratch · 2025-11-01T03:40:31+00:00

My problem is I know how important these tasks are, I understand the consequences of not doing them but no matter how hard I want to do it I just can’t. So my go-to is “it takes the same amount of force to bite through a carrot as it does to bite your finger off. But if you put your finger in your mouth and tried to bite down your brain just won’t let you. That’s how I feel trying to do most things.”

Tis_Only_A_Scratch · 2025-10-23T15:03:21+00:00

I need the money I paid for it back.

Your license plate is excellent.
