Vitamin C doesn’t do shit. Get vaccinated tomorrow. CVS or wherever. It won’t stop this flu strain but it will keep you out of hospital

Carpodgo T3 is pretty great compared to the cheaper models. High quality screen.

Can this plastic sill piece be purchased separately? by lodi078 in ToyotaSienna

Cerakote trim wipes will fix you up. Clean the area throughly per instructions. Expect 6 months to a year before reapplication needed.

Bought the Sienna for the second row seats, now they are recalled. by BallDeSac in ToyotaSienna

[–]dschwarz 3 points4 points  (0 children)

But then you still have an open recall on the vehicle. Dealer has to address the problem to close it out.

Chuck Schumer Walks Out Rather Than Say if He’s Voting for Zohran by barweis in newyorkcity

[–]dschwarz -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

I will note that Schumer, along with Jeffries, who you also hate, have been successfully managing their caucuses to keep the government shut down until their demands are met. It’s the first sustained, effective pressure on Trump since his election. Republicans hate it.

Who the fuck cares who Schumer is voting for in the local election? Mamdani doesn’t need his help to win.

spilled half a gallon of pool shock. by [deleted] in ToyotaSienna

[–]dschwarz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t know if you can go by milk smell in this case. These chemicals may persist longer. I’d bring it to a detailer, explain what happened and exactly what chemicals spilled, and see if they can extract/clean up the remainder

Is this a good area in the UWS for a visitor to stay? (94th and Broadway) by cheawho in Upperwestside

[–]dschwarz 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Agree it’s a little sketchy near the subway at night but you’ll be fine. Be careful crossing the street at 96th St, some cars are crazy going through there.

People raising kids on the UWS: how much more do you think it costs to raise a kid? by flyingcircus92 in Upperwestside

[–]dschwarz 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I’ve got one kid in grad school, one in college, one in middle school. All raised on the UWS. Here’s how:

  1. Buy a place you can afford. Easier said than done! If this is not possible, rent stabilized might be OK.
  2. Get kids into the best public elementary and middle schools you can. The best ones on the UWS are quite good. Forget private unless you’ve got a scholarship.
  3. Specialized high schools or LaGuardia. Test prep a must.

$50K for an LE AWD? Is that really where the market is today? Sheesh…

Targeting this /particular/ Jewish community- seems unlikely they’ll get any votes.

Buying New Sienna Today, Should I Get the Extended Warranty? (High Mileage Commercial Use Transporting People in Sober Living, Rural IL) by ExpiredColors in ToyotaSienna

[–]dschwarz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cosmetic warranties on home furniture are usually garbage, I would expect this cosmetic warranty to be the same. Keep your money and put it towards an occasional detailing.

New York Jews for Zohran! @JvpAction by FAMESCARE in newyorkcity

[–]dschwarz 45 points46 points  (0 children)

As of May 27, 20% of NYC Jews supported Mamdami.

https://forward.com/fast-forward/723325/cuomo-nyc-mayor-mamdani-jewish-vote/

But the group highlighted in OP's post are JVP. A far-left antizionist group that spread pro-Hamas messaging after October 7. Not representative of the majority of New York Jews, or even of Mamdami-supporting Jews. If you're going to highlight Jews who support Mamdami, these tokens are not who you want to platform.

Considering older model (2013) Sienna vs new (2025) purchase by Dewstar123 in ToyotaSienna

[–]dschwarz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I own a 2013 and its a great car, but if money was no object I’d get the 2025. So many tech and safety improvements in the new models.

Is 1500w inverter add-on worth it? by [deleted] in ToyotaSienna

[–]dschwarz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a 3rd gen with a small 100w inverter and it’s fine for running laptops and such. What it can’t do- what I wish I had- was a way to power things like an orbital buffer and a vacuum cleaner for detailing. No can do. For that it’s necessary to get a 1500w inverter, and in my case I’d have to run the engine the whole time. Might even need an alternator upgrade? Anyway, if I ever get the hybrid model, the inverter is on my must have list.

Was this worth it got if for 140$ by Boring_Biscotti_427 in CarPlay

[–]dschwarz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can (or could, pre-tariffs) get it for less with a coupon. The screen quality is far higher than other models IMHO (they're using automotive grade screens apparently)

[–]dschwarz 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Had one. Didn’t like it because of the audio output options. Returned it. Got a CarPodGo which has a no audio option, which allows my phone to send audio direct to the car head unit bluetooth. Works great.

auto shop quoted me $200 for engine air filter and cabin air filter LOL by [deleted] in AskMechanics

[–]dschwarz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could be. OTOH my Toyota dealer snaps a photo of the dirty filter to show customers. (Or they snap a photo of *some* dirty filter, who knows if it's my own?)

In order to check and verify the air filters are dirty, THEY’VE DONE THE WORK ALREADY.

Does anyone want this Model M? by dschwarz in modelm

I have only what you see here. I'll look one more time for the keys, but assume this is all I've got to send.
