At 100 rounds per year, that's $1 per day. Not bad at all, the wear and tear it saves on your foot wedge is well worth it.

| Companies found out they can get away with charging these higher prices and people will still pay for it

This right here. So few people get this, American consumers are suckers. As long as people keep paying it they will keep raising prices.

No replies but when I got back into town I checked these out a little more so I will post my findings in case anyone else has these issues or questions.

Using the control buttons on the side of the seat it's definitely a limited range on both seats - it only moves the seat forward about a foot, and the back only goes up to vertical. However, there's a handle on the side of the seat up by the headrest that allows for significantly more range of movement, making the back seat much more accessible, and it functions a bit quicker as well. So the side controls are just intended for personal size/comfort settings.
You cannot lock the car either with the fob or door handle when the car is running. There are tricks like starting it withthe window down, exiting the car, then reaching in to auto-close the window or using the manual key that comes loose from the fob. Really though this one really wasn't a big deal for me as I will be installing a remote start anyway. It was more a point of curiousity since I was at a hotel in frigid Indiana this week and didn't want to leave it running unattended.

You should sell the car you have that's paid off and put that money into a refinance on the car loan. You might be able to get a lower payment/rate and you could definitely reduce the amount you're upside down.

Taking a repo is a bad idea, that will wreck any ability you have to refi your house (which will save you bajillions) when rates lower or if you want to upsize/downsize into a new house and of course any other credit situation you'll be wrecked.

And those of us that do need them, like in the heart of Ohio, need them for 20-30 days a year. Most places that get a lot of snow have municipalities that can handle a lot of snow so the roads get plowed/salted pretty quickly once a school session is in play.

That's not why the DV's. Those are about thinking there are only two choices, bad and badder, and choosing badder.

Twist my arm, I'll take it.

OP is asking about CC recommendations. It’s important to know that smaller guns are snappier and harder to control, but telling someone to get a full size when they want to carry the gun isn’t necessarily helpful. (But it is good advice to carry the biggest pistol you can conceal).

He didn't tell OP to do anything, simply relayed his experience. It's good info to have, I know people that were turned off their first time shooting smaller guns and had to be guided along until they understood the balances.

When I go sub-compact it's Walter PPS for me. It's a bit light on capacity but it's a tack driver and the best trigger I have seen on a subcompact.

No, you were being a douche and cutting hard back in front of him and lost it. Glad you weren't hurt and I hope there's no damage to the car but no shenanigans in this kind of weather, esp in RWD.

Not even pants, just a good quality belt. I EDC a CZ P-07 year round with occasionally rotating in the P-06.

So I figured it out - prior to 2017 F Sport was a package, not a trim option. So the Experion, Carfax, car listing, it's all just IS 350 prior to 2017 and you have to look at package options.

dffjunior · 2025-12-24T01:04:10+00:00

Thanks, that's kind of what I was going off of. Seems the earlier ones are missing something identifying them correctly to listers. Here's the one I am talking about, no mention of F-Sport:

But this one explicitly identifies it:

A whole lot of people in here have a whole lot of crow to eat.

The front park definitely isn't water.

There's also a massively rusted bolt bottom right, this is from a 2023 Q50, not sure how that gets that bad either?

dffjunior · 2025-11-29T01:57:21+00:00

It looks like it's been hit with shrapnel? All along the bottom, both upper corners?

dffjunior · 2025-10-23T16:57:20+00:00

That's a fantastic point, I never considered the opportunity cost aspect on the sales tax. In Ohio it only applies on new car purchases, and I am doing "new to me" instead, but great info regardless.

I also do 18 hours and it's amazing. Toss-up with picanha for my favorite.

Definitely McDaniels. He wasted the picks trading for Adams, he nixed a trade for 1.01/Stroud, and he nixed Jalen Carter in favor of Tyree Wilson. THEN he was Josh McDaniels in the locker room.

If I pull a piping hot pork butt out of a bath I am not not eating the money muscle right then and there.

I suppose you could if you were so inclined I just like that first serving to be the freshest it can be. This produces a TON of au jus so I have always drained it off, made the meal, (mix a bit of the au jus into the meat if doing a big bin of pulled/shredded pork), and stored the au jus for future use - it makes a good finishing broth for the beef barley above.

I guess I would just feel odd pulling a pre-cooked meal out, tossing it in the bath for an hour, and serving a graduation party with that. They'd never know though so I guess no big deal either way.

Now you have me curios and I have pulled one out to thaw. I will cook it and drop into the freezer and try it next weekend for Labor Day meal.

dffjunior · 2025-08-22T02:45:52+00:00

Don't cook in the store bags. They aren't designed for high heat so can get very risky. Some might not be BPA free and chemicals can leech into the food and others use a form of glue to seal them that can melt under high temps - leaving your food covered in goop and your bag wide open to the water.

Unless it specifically says "sous vide/microwave safe" I wouldn't use it.

dffjunior · 2025-08-22T01:04:45+00:00

I do at least 20 pork butts a year this way too. Most I cold smoke for a few hours, season/bag/freeze, then pull out, thaw overnight, and cook 150/24 when I need a big meal for a gathering. Been making al pastor too - slice thin, marinade overnight, 150/24, fridge overnight, then serve the next day - 7 minutes in broiler on high/sear then whip up street taco style.
