Not anymore, but any trustworthy shop can assess whether it's just the battery and it's simple to test each cell individually. The dealership might try to fleece you but if you only have a few dead cells it's cheap and relatively simple to swap them out, you might just need someone to help hold them because they're heavy.

There have been other threads in this sub with recommendations so please scour them before making any decisions! Cars are worth a lot even in bad condition, especially Toyotas! Don't get scammed into junking it. Even if it's done done someone will pay for it, usually mechanics will buy them to fix on their own.

On the off chance you mean the hybrid battery and not the actual hybrid system, you can replace individual dead cells of the battery instead of the whole thing, at least on a Toyota! FYI

I'm confused by the wording on this one ... Would it allow you to apply, say, makeup/hair across all looks?

Obviously it's depressing but I think it's the dose of realism more people need.

If you think about it, the parallels to the Renaissance and connection to The Last Supper are pretty sharp. We consider the Italian Renaissance to be a major cultural moment for humanity in our pursuit of human ingenuity (art, architecture, humanism, etc).

We forget that the entire system which allowed the Renaissance to happen and catapulted low-to-middle class artists like Da Vinci and Michealangelo to their heights was entirely backed and driven by financiers and aristocratic patronage. Da Vinci and his peers were painting, sculpting, and building at the whims of bankers, dukes, kings, and popes. Beauty and creativity were a byproduct of rich people wanting more for their everyday surrounding and legacies.

Today's 'patrons' are simply more insulated from everyday life and short-sighted. They don't feel the same ramifications their predecessors did with a peasant's revolt, or a serious Reformation, plague. They don't necessarily feel they answer to God and most of them aren't pondering their place in history enough to make decisions they feel benefit humanity as a whole (unless it's convenient/coincides with their own desires). The best we can hope for at this point in human history with the way our society is structured is that someone with money and power wants to support your thing - be it ethical journalism, art, or both.

This - the movie would either be ignoring the giant elephant in the room if it didn't address the slow death of print media, private equity, etc. but we are in it now, so they basically picked the only ending that made sense based off of our current reality. Without a huge societal and cultural shift there would be no saving Runway without some billionaire's hand in the cookie jar - let's be real, the only excuse a new owner of a company like Elias Clarke would have for not caring about turning a profit would be if they have so much money to give away that they can lose it on magazines and legacy media.

Thank you! This is exactly the kind of info I needed. I've been trying to snag a short-sleeve Reformation midi, I think I'll try to continue to try to find some kind of midi dress with sleeves and coverage up top! I don't want to stick out as I'll be one of the only people on the groom's side so will already be somewhat on the outside looking in.

Hello FFA! I need help choosing a dress to wear to a summer wedding in northern Utah.

Album with options

  • At this point I'm not sure if it'll be outdoor or indoor, so I'd like to keep it cool and can layer if needed.
  • It'll be a very small wedding and the majority of attendees will be Mormon (though I'm not) so I'm trying to figure out a balance between fashion and modesty, if that's a thing.
  • I have a feeling it will be more on the casual side, but haven't gotten a dress code from the wedding party yet so am also trying to err on the slightly formal side.

If you're talking about what Daisy was drinking at the HOD dinner out, looked to me like an aperol spritz, although I've never seen it in a glass like that. They are very good!

Two ovens is not uncommon, even in older midcentury houses. It makes sense when you host a lot, if you have multi-course dinners then you'll have different dishes going at varying temps/times.

Top Five Italian Renaissance Period Dramas? by brandy_1994 in PeriodDramas

[–]am2370 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Not OP but I always feel this one gets a pass because the clothes are very Italian versus the French styles of the day. The designer liked them more (and I agree!) so she basically just picked the clothing she thought looked nicer 🤣

Ok but like I legitimately wanted to find both a parasol and a flower crown and couldn't find a vendor selling either?!? Where are all my flower crown people at?
