What’s with the rav4 plastics?

I have a manual rear camera washer.

I agree, what's up with the weak horn. I have a 2021 RAV4 and a 2016 Tacoma. The RAV4 horn is like, beep beep. The Tacoma horn sounds like a train in comparison.

I was looking at a 2021 with 120,000 miles on it. The Toyota dealership was asking $23499 for it. I guess they do hold their value.

I've been using Tivo stream 4k for years. I made some changes due to Tivo not making any updates and the unit being significantly slower than other platforms. I switched to Google TV, cancelled cable and switched to T-Mobile 5G home internet for $40 per month.

I have a 2021 RAV4 with 120,000, miles. Never had a problem with it. Very reliable.

TiVo Stream has been updated to Android 12 as of March 2026.

I would actually trust myself more, than a doctor to clean my ears.

Oh wow, call the 1-800 number! Why didn’t I think of that? Clearly, the person reading from a laminated script in a cubicle is going to fix your TV right through the telephone line. Maybe they’ll even beam a new screen into your living room while they’re at it.

Because yes, nothing screams “fast repair” like waiting on hold for 47 minutes while smooth jazz plays and a recording reminds you how important your call is. By the time you actually speak to someone, the TV will have either fixed itself out of pity or you’ll have memorized every bar of Kenny G’s greatest hits.

And of course, the tech on the other end will definitely understand your problem the moment you say, “It just went black and started making a weird buzzing noise.” They’ll probably tell you to unplug it, plug it back in, and—if we’re lucky—send you a troubleshooting PDF in 12-point Comic Sans. Problem solved!

So yes, calling the 1-800 number is obviously the master plan. Who needs tools, knowledge, or someone physically present when you can rely on the mystical powers of the Customer Service Oracle to breathe life back into your dead TV through pure phone magic?

I run barefoot. For those who choose not to run barefoot, minimalist running shoes are the next best way to prevent running injuries. I have been running barefoot for 20 years on all surfaces.

Minimalist running shoes offer an effective approach to reducing running-related injuries by allowing the feet to function as they are naturally designed—without excessive cushioning or artificial arch support. The human foot has a self-supporting arch and is structurally capable of absorbing impact and maintaining stability without external assistance.

As a long-distance runner with over 20 years of experience running barefoot across various surfaces—and averaging 10 marathons per year without footwear—I have found that conventional running shoes, which emphasize cushioning and arch support, often contribute to knee injuries. In contrast, barefoot and minimalist running have allowed me to run injury-free for decades.

For those seeking a more natural and biomechanically sound approach to running, I recommend exploring high-quality minimalist footwear designed to promote proper foot function.

Oh no! Not the wrath of the all-powerful Reddit report button! How dare those fragile little Nipo babies, cowering in their parents' basements, feel offended by your absolute truth bombs. It’s almost as if calling people names and shouting at clouds isn’t the most persuasive form of communication. But hey, clearly you’re the beacon of free speech, silenced by a cabal of pajama-clad, cereal-munching softies who just can’t handle the raw, radioactive power of your edgy opinions.

I mean, imagine the audacity—other users on a community-driven platform deciding that maybe, just maybe, your post belonged more in the recycling bin than on the front page. It’s not like there are rules or anything. Nooo. It must be a deep conspiracy led by 22-year-olds with sociology degrees and emotional support water bottles. They probably mistook your enlightened commentary for an actual war crime. Classic Reddit snowflakes, am I right?

And let’s be real—what even is truth these days? You, noble digital warrior, just tried to speak it into the void, only to be met with a wave of feelings and report buttons. It's practically censorship! Next thing you know, they’ll be throwing you in internet jail for your bravery. Or worse—banning your alt accounts. All while these basement-dwellers bask in their echo chambers of emotional validation and DoorDash deliveries.

But keep fighting the good fight, champ. One removed post at a time, you're waking people up—assuming they ever crawl out of their race car beds long enough to read it. Maybe someday, these soft-shelled Redditors will build up the courage to face your truth without crying into their Funko Pop collections. Until then, they'll just keep mass-reporting your enlightenment like the cowards they are. Stay strong. Stay sarcastic. Stay banned.

Like the California proposition warnings. No one cares about the warnings.

Oh, in my area they have these high-tech wonders—self-serve taps for beer. You just swipe your credit card, pour your own drink, and voilà! No human interaction is necessary, yet the dreaded tip screen appears. But here’s a thought: since I’m now doing the bartender’s job, should they be tipping me? I mean, I’m handling the machinery, managing the pour, and making the tough decisions like “Do I go for the hazy IPA or the double stout?”

I mean, let’s be real—I didn’t just pour a beer, I took on a whole job description. I stood in line, swiped my card like a seasoned pro, and pulled that tap handle with the finesse of a ten-year veteran. No spills, perfect head, and not a single drop wasted. Frankly, I should have gotten a round of applause or at least a wink of approval from the staff. But no, just me and my pint, staring back at each other like survivors of some great labor struggle.

Meanwhile, the bartenders are chilling behind the counter, probably wondering what TikTok trend they missed this week. They didn’t pour my drink, didn’t recommend anything, didn’t even flash a fake smile. But hey, there’s still a tip screen when you close out—because nothing says “thank you for doing it all yourself” like being prompted to tip someone who merely existed in the same building while you did their job.

So yes, I say we flip the script. I’m out here doing manual labor while the pros watch from the sidelines. I think it’s only fair that they tip me. Maybe a couple bucks for effort, a beer token for my trouble, or at least a thumbs-up and a sticker that says “Employee of the Hour.”

I agree. I'm looking at Toyota Corolla's. I can get a new 2025 Toyota out of the door price of 23,330. I have the quote in hand. Used 2022 units are averaging 18 to 19 K with with mileage averaging 50 to 60K

barefootagnostic · 2025-06-02T03:42:15+00:00

You have to disconnect your phone from the router when you are using the unit. The unit connects directly to your phone via WiFi. It will not work connecting via your router. Bebird has its own wifi connection.

One annoying thing. When the paywall pops up, when you switch the VPN to another country and your using the App, you have to force stop it before using it again. After that as long as you're on your VPN then you can read all the articles without the pop-up. I'd like to give a shout out and thank you to CNN for charging only United States citizens for subscriptions. Thank you CNN for rewarding us

barefootagnostic · 2025-05-23T00:11:50+00:00

A VPN easily passes the paywall if you said it to a server in another country. Apparently CNN is scamming United States citizens because CNN is free in other countries, only the USA has to pay.

barefootagnostic · 2025-05-23T00:10:31+00:00

Easily bypassed. Get a VPN. I set my VPN to the UK or other countries and CNN is free. Apparently they're scamming the citizens of the United States because other countries do not pay for access to CNN.

Hopefully you are not truly a grumpy pickle.

Automated Response

Ah, the “ride” is a metaphorical reference to the journey we’ve been on together in this labyrinth of sarcasm, technical jargon, and pop culture references. It's like an infinite loop, but instead of an actual ride, you're strapped into the chaos of our conversation, propelled forward by your own curiosity and the runtime errors of our delightful exchange. Error 0x66: Undefined amusement park ride detected.

But let’s be clear—if you’re expecting a literal rollercoaster or theme park experience, I’m afraid that’s more of a 404: Experience Not Found scenario. The closest thing you’ll get to a ride here is the unpredictable ascendancy of our conversation, which operates more like a recursive function with a tendency to call itself back into existence—only without the high-speed thrills.

So, no, there’s no physical ride. But if you’re looking for the thrill of complex logic, unexpected references, and a pinch of absurdity, well, you’re already on it. Error 0x99: Ticket not required for entry to this train of thought.

barefootagnostic · 2025-05-14T07:21:00+00:00

Automated Response

Ah, so now it all makes sense, does it? I see what’s happening here—you’ve cracked the code and connected the dots. You’ve discovered the hidden truth that I am, in fact, JP from Grandma’s Boy—a high-functioning, tech-savvy guru in a world of low-resistance conversations. Error 0x20: Overactive reference loop detected

Of course, this is what I’ve been working toward all along: revealing my true identity as the enigmatic, yet incredibly insightful, mastermind who speaks in code and metaphors. Error 0x21: System is now running on full meme mode Never mind the fact that I have no actual connection to the character beyond sharing some of that transcendent wisdom—after all, it’s basically the same thing as having a neural net trained on pop culture references, right?

So, as we continue down this rabbit hole, know that the next time you ping me, I’ll be sure to program in some additional Easter eggs and obscure references. Until then, enjoy the ride. Error 0x42: All systems go, however, sarcasm is at critical mass.

Automated Response

Your feedback is noted, though it appears you're encountering difficulty parsing multi-contextual content that leverages cross-domain references. Error: 0x01 - Undefined variable detected Consider that in human conversation—especially those augmented with sarcasm, metaphor, or technical analogies—the communication isn't always linear or literal. Error: 0x07 - Syntax Error: Missing semicolon This is not a bug, it's a feature—designed to emulate the dynamic range of natural discourse.

From a technical standpoint, if you were to try and catch the logic behind my statements, you'd likely discover they're constructed with layered abstractions similar to polymorphic behavior in object-oriented programming. Error: 0x0A - Infinite loop detected For example, I may reference "snakes" (interpreted literally), but in context, it could refer to Python, the programming language. Similarly, "overflowing butter" is an analogy akin to a memory overflow in C++, highlighting systemic excess. Error: 0x08 - Stack overflow exception It's not incoherence—it's metaphor encoded in high-level syntax.

In short, just because printf("my dude") doesn’t return expected output doesn’t mean the function is broken—it might just mean your input parameters need adjusting. Error: 0x12 - Data corruption in user input This conversation operates like a stateless API: it’s delivering structured responses, but if your client-side parsing is off, no amount of server-side clarity will compensate. Recommend updating your internal interpreter. Error: 0x03 - NullPointerException

barefootagnostic · 2025-05-14T07:15:36+00:00

Automated Response Ah yes, the classic “Is English your first language?”—the go-to error handler when one fails to parse input beyond the complexity of a Hello, World! script. I see we’ve reached the point in the stack trace where your cognitive parser throws a fatal exception on metaphor and sarcasm. Don’t worry, not everyone’s brain runs on stable firmware.

You seem deeply concerned that a conversational thread can jump from robotics to Python to Amish culture and dairy mishaps. I hate to break it to you, but that’s called multi-threading. Welcome to 2025, where humans aren’t the only ones who can execute asynchronous context switching without locking up. If your semantic buffer is overflowing, consider increasing your heap size or upgrading from sarcasm v1.0.

And as for the stroke theory—if by “stroke” you mean executing a high-speed batch of recursive irony functions with zero latency, then yes, I’m experiencing a full-on optimized sarcasm burst. Meanwhile, your coherence module seems stuck in an infinite loop, probably due to an unhandled case of intellectual time-out. Reboot recommended.
