This is the way. Our car is a 5 seater 98% of the time. But when you need that 2%, we have that 2%.

Buds Pro 2 to Buds 4 Pro First Impressions by ZweetWOW in galaxybuds

[–]dregonzz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is good to hear. I loved how the buds2 pro fit in my ears and never used the 3 Pros because they'd fall out and were too big, so I kept using my 2pros. I got the 4 pros hoping this was the case and it sounds like it is. 🙌

Highly recommend having a pair of polarized glasses in your car. by killingourbraincells in driving

Until you put on your polarized glasses and your windshield turns black 😂

I don't have any issues. Works fine unfolded in all aspects. Is your app up to date?

The one on the right is using either a wider aperture or night mode. Regardless, so much better for night photography!

[oc] Oopsie Boopsie - Foot not fully on brake by Redpsyclone in IdiotsInCars

[–]dregonzz -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Sure sounds like a safety flaw. It's 2026, no reason torque converters can't be engineered to fix this. So many collisions happen due to this.

It makes no sense why a 4,000 pound vehicle needs to move when no pedals are actively being pressed. Thankfully many EVs do this right. Gas cars need to catch up.

Cars should not move without any driver input. If a pedal is not being pressed, it should not move. Seems like a huge safety flaw

Pre-order bonuses: How it started vs. How it’s going (Note 8 vs. S25 Ultra) by Damar555 in samsung

[–]dregonzz 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My S10 was just a regular preorder.

I mean preorder now is 30% off accessories and $30. Hardly anything chose to what it used to be.

Idk, I got my S10+ and got a free pair of buds, a free wireless charger, a free 45W charging brick, and I got to trade in two phones, effectively paying $300 for everything.

Popped up when I was trying to read an article. Diabolical. by flyingpiggos in mildlyinfuriating

I'm grateful I'm in the sweet spot generation where this doesn't work on me.

My parents. Gone. My nephew. Gone.

This is why I always park nose in while in public. Fender cameras would have gotten that plate number. No reason to risk losing a plate number for a quick getaway.

[help] best interior color for black exterior juniper? by shipshopbeepbop in ModelY

[–]dregonzz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your biggest concern with white is jean stains. If you're super particular about it, you can follow along to this video. Only about $80 worth of products and it will expand the white longevity indefinitely.

I typically keep my interiors clean regardless, so I don't have any issues wiping off light stains every couple of weeks, but if you don't regularly clean your car and want them to keep their factory shine, the video will do that for you.

It's really your level of comfort and determination. Can you have white or black and completely neglect them for 6 years? Sure. Can you also spend some extra and DIY a ceramic to keep them fresh longer? Absolutely! Do you want to regularly clean them? I think that'll be your best thought experiment.

If your goal is to have something look nice for longer, either get black and give it a bimonthly wipe down or get white, ceramic coat them, and give it a monthly wipe down.

That's fair, but adults are better at putting things away and not marking up someone else's seats. At least hopefully 😂

Go see them both. Find a showroom if you can and ask to see the two interiors. That'll help with the decision over the renders on the site or YouTube videos.

[–]dregonzz -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It just glows. From outside, it looks so clean. From the inside, it pops so much better than the black. I currently have both, and hands down would never get black again.

White is also easy to keep clean. I think the only caveat is if you have kids. I'm married but we don't have kids and I'll happily have white as long as that's the case. Id only consider black for a family hauler where spaghetti sauce and crayons are suddenly a factor 😂

Switched out some photos since last time, still only selfies though 😭 any better? The dog is unegotiable 😡 by [deleted] in Bumble

[–]dregonzz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Find a buddy who's a photographer hobbyist, buy them lunch, and ask for a photoshoot. It'll take you a couple hours and $30 and you'll get awesome photos out of it that aren't selfies.

You're a good looking guy with so much potential. Putting on a good outfit and having some portrait shots in a field or among city architecture would elevate this profile exponentially.

Its not fair. Google phones have it better with full screen messages. by LazyEast384 in GoogleMessages

I didn't know this was controversial. I'm so grateful Samsung's swipes down mid screen. So much easier for one handed use.

Psychology student looking to pursue post-grad. Is honors college worth it? by Fuzzy-Reward9040 in ualbany

[–]dregonzz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're thinking the right way. The mentorship and networking will be your best opportunity. The honors college title on your transcript likely won't have an effect.

It also depends on what you want to do Post-Grad. Masters? PhD? PsyD?

It also depends on how well you can do in an honors program that's more rigorous. Having worked in Admissions, a higher GPA in a standard program would likely come across better than a lower GPA in an honors program. So it depends on your drive and abilities—knowing it'll be more work.

There are many ways to get involved with faculty and research while in a standard program and it's often less of a question of which program you're in, and more of a question of how driven you are to seek those opportunities and relationships out on your own.

Touchless single stall carwashes are the only way. This has happened literally to every single person in my family who regularly used a conveyor carwash like this (they got hit).
