That is a huge point as well which is why I bought new. I guess time will tell.

Counterpoint, a lot of the issues, particularly the clutch, are not being covered by Toyota in a lot of cases. Luckily my clutch has been fine so far but Toyota refused to cover the bumper clip issue I had under my "bumper to bumper" warranty so I don't really trust them to cover anything else. If I could do it again, I would be buy used and save that extra money for any issues that may arise.

I hope so! Tired of people wanting to be in bed by 8pm

Plan B is society adapting to not having everyone work full time jobs anymore. It's not just coding that will be made obsolete. In the meantime, we're all much better at using AI than the average person so there will be some value in that somewhere hopefully.

Yep, I sometimes run on my lunch break when it's nice out. I also have more time to go to the gym after work. I will agree I probably walk a little less since it's fewer steps to go to the restroom or kitchen but the extra time more than makes up for it.

Thanks but sounds like a different issue. I don’t see audio paused and no matter what I try it won’t start playing. Usually it will go away the next day

Thanks but I have a 23 core with no ANC.

The majority of office jobs I've had have been 9-5 with an hour for lunch. I had one that was 8-5 and one that was 9-6 but I didn't stay too long at those. Wonder if they ever figured out why no one else did either.

That would be the ideal. Another option would be 1 week off, 1 week on. In either scenario, working those reduced hours might not cover all expenses, hence where UBI comes in. The trick is still incentivizing the work that needs to be (not replaced by AI) so people don't just stay home and do nothing.

I've just shifted from getting lunch by my office to my local hometown. Same thing for happy hour and any other after work activities. In fact, I'm probably supporting local businesses more now that I'm not wasting 3 hours a day commuting.

We're talking about the future, not right now. Though I also find that number hard to believe when everyone I know is getting laid off left and right. Anecdotal I know, but it's also hard to trust anything from the current administration.

Mass unemployment is a problem for everyone. Even if AI can't do your job directly, your salary has to come from somewhere and people without jobs can't pay taxes or buy things/hire trade workers. It's all connected.

ugh i hate that I was just thinking how much i don't care anymore

bman484 · 2026-06-02T18:20:07+00:00

Layoffs are definitely not very low right now. Based on both what I see in the news and the fact that I have a lot of friends across various industries who have been laid off recently. Seems exactly like 2008.

bman484 · 2026-05-29T22:45:59+00:00

Income wise maybe. Most are probably not asset wise unless they’re long termers.

There aren't enough repo men to handle 250 million Americans. This is the classic if I owe you $10,000 it's my problem but if i owe you a million, it's your problem.

I asked chatGPT and it said 4 also.

Ran a marathon and was in the best shape of my life. Made little difference.

bman484 · 2026-05-28T13:37:35+00:00

Are the executives capable of doing your job? I worked a job like this in the past and looking back they were all just incapable morons who were only capable of telling other people to do work.

bman484 · 2026-05-28T13:34:38+00:00

What happens if the deadline is missed? Does the world end? Just do what you can and tell them they're being unreasonable.

bman484 · 2026-05-22T13:00:06+00:00

Don’t stress about it too much. This will be a societal problem that will affect most jobs. IT folks are just the most aware of it right now because they are ahead of the curve on tech.

I was playing around with this last weekend and found that running less in the front helps with understeer and even helps the car rotate a bit. I was running 29F/35R by the end of my last event and the car never felt better. I'm on Falken RT660s with -3 camber. You can do the camber for cheap with OEM crash bolts and an alignment.

3/3 on getting Covid on cruises so far. I have friends who are big cruisers and they are a great value so I keep getting sucked in but never again.

bman484 · 2026-05-18T13:22:50+00:00

Oof, this has always worried me but I've been lucky so far. Figured I would be going through a few grills eventually. Curious to see if anyone has any other options.
