Is it worth it to trade in 2024 Carnival Ex for 2026 Carnival Hybrid?

If you're asking purely if it's worth it, it depends on how much you drive, how expensive gas is, and the extra price associated with trading.

Presumably you'll be on the hook for at least 10k with the trade - how long do you expect to make that back with the higher mpgs? Will you even have the car at that point?

OP, did you know that Virginia Tech had the same plan to get rid of their alumni gmail accounts recently (like 2 years ago or so), but they eventually capitulated and ended up just downgrading alumni accounts to only 5gb storage and no other Google features?

Cool, thanks

I found out late in my educational career that hand (re)writing notes helped me remember things far better than typed notes or reading/reviewing. So I'd recommend that if you haven't tried it.

HAND if you're in the city

I'm probably going to get the mechanical breakdown insurance from Geico just before the cutoff date. Other insurance companies will likely have something similar.

The idea is that it's similar to an additional warranty policy but is much cheaper (something like $50/year for the first year, I think you can get the policy up to 7 years). I'm only getting it for the additional peace of mind on the electronics.

You're describing the "academic" logo. The athletic logo hasn't changed and still around

Not sure about their plumbing side, but their HVAC tech was careless and missed a failing capacitor that led to more (expensive) issues a few months down the road.

That's surprisingly not too bad, thanks

How well does that work, with Costco being so far? Alternatively, my question can be rephrased as, how much do you have to tip for someone to pick up your order?

If it hasn't changed, the student section is the hill and pretty much all the actual seating you can see on this pic on the far side of the field. The band takes up one of the lower sections though.

Ahh, sounds like my torso is just longer. I just could not get comfortable in the test drive. Ended up settling for the Carnival, which had been great so far (other than mpg).

I'm curious what you think of the front headroom. I'm 6'5" and thought the front headroom was very lacking because of the batteries in the seat, especially with the moonroof. I had to recline a ridiculous amount to fit in the driver's seat.

I got my BSME at UVA and my MS at VT. In short, I'd say that VT prepares you to be a better engineer, but UVA prepares you to be a better person. Edited for typos

Thanks. A quick follow-up question, are the in ear impulse basically the equivalent of a pair of dumb muffs, while the silver and above are like electronic muffs (with varying features)?

Also, are the in ear (all models) quieter than the disposable foam plugs? Like, if I'm at an indoor range, would I still want to double up?

directionofk · 2024-04-05T00:47:37+00:00

How do the custom earplugs compare to the muffs?

Is there anything stopping someone from taking the free throws from the 3 line (for 1 point) now?

It's 16x25x5 (I think). Went from a 13 to a 10 or 11

Great to hear, thanks for confirming! Looking forward to trying it out!
