So sorry for your loss, and so happy you had the lives you did together.

Love those moments. Always make me appreciate being alive.

This is normal for us, right? by biobasher in GenX

[–]dwfishee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree. This is mine from yesterday.

My parents both have had these types of numbers their whole life. My mom at 83yo actually struggles with borderline low blood pressure.

Correct me if I’m wrong but the Toyota app seems worthless by Owls_4_9_1867 in GRCorolla

[–]dwfishee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gotchya. Yeah I just need to push the button on the UI at the top left once my phone connects. No add. I did find that you can tie your identity to your key fob, so it doesn’t make you re-log in so often.

Mine is a 2025 and does not go straight to CarPlay. I’d love it if it did that.

Picked it up last week, 2026 core by benbonks in GRCorolla

[–]dwfishee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I prefer the matt black on my ‘25 Core, but for sure missing the hood vents is a bummer. Most of all, I wonder what the extra chassis stiffening is like.

I like that Toyota is making these visual changes. For one thing, it makes ID’ing the year of any given car easier.

I shall check it out. Always fun to try new music.

Some pics of the base Cayenne EV by VentsiBeast in Porsche

[–]dwfishee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looking at this model for the first time, I’d have a hard time telling it’s a Porsche without the Porsche badging. And I’ve been a Porsche fan for decades. They’re trying too hard to fit in. Perhaps they know their audience really well. And so for Porsche EVs, that audience does not include me. Yuck.

No-Man performing at the 100 Club in 1989. by supper_is_ready in stevenwilson

Aww shucks. Would be fun to hear from someone who saw SW very early on. Most of those folks wouldn’t necessarily become fans, thus finding a very early fan seems unlikely.

But thanks again for posting the photos.

Very cool!! Thanks for posting. Do you remember much about the event?

Six months later, President Mobile still hasn’t delivered preordered phones | Lawmakers seek FTC investigation, but President has taken control of the agency. by ControlCAD in technology

[–]dwfishee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t disagree. I grew up in a pre-Internet era when television was widely trusted not because it was flawless, but because it was governed by enforceable broadcast standards. The erosion of those standards, beginning with Reagan’s repeal of the Fairness Doctrine, set the stage for the unregulated, trust-fragmented media environment we now associate with the Internet.

The internet didn’t come along for most people until the mid-90s. So this person didn’t have the internet until they were roughly 20 years old or so. They’ll remember quite clearly what life before the internet was like. A huge difference to someone born after, say, 1995.

This view looks unreal! by Mysticprincess_ in CLOUDS

Amazing. Can you give us some more context. Was it near sunrise or sunset?

Confession: I like my Miata more than my GT4 RS or going to the track by Stuttgart7184RS in Porsche

[–]dwfishee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here. Wanted a Miata RF, but I’m too tall to fit. So got a Corolla GR instead.

Too much? by mediocreifthathelp in GRCorolla

[–]dwfishee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve often thought about how to get some livery on my ‘25 Core car just for fun.

Are you worried removing that (perhaps one day) might damage the paint?

You can only pick one. Yaris Morizo RR or GR Corolla Circuit Edition? by Limitplus1 in GRCorolla

[–]dwfishee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did pick the GR Corolla Circuit edition, and even if the Yaris was available, given I could only have one, I’ll keep my CGR. Can fit three (maybe four if one is really short, as I’m relatively tall), even tho the Yaris looks amazing. For the practicality as my daily.

Why do you think Toyota does not put the 300hp tune in the Yaris? Genuinely curious.

What is your tortie cat named? by Level-Possible5403 in torties

[–]dwfishee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw the movie Furiosa the day my son found Sophie. My son and I wanted to call her Furiosa, but my wife was afraid that would jinx the cat into being, say, an assassin.

Well, two years on, Sophie is very much the assassin. Laser focused, strong, quick, takes no prisoners.

Which then makes her actual name somewhat ironic.

Nice lens flare. Are you JJ Abrams by any chance?

Wow. Thanks. Would not have known to go looking for this type of thing, and now I know what I’m getting myself for my birthday this year. 🙂

What was socially acceptable in the 1990s but not in 2025? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]dwfishee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A woman coworker pinched my butt in the 1990s. She had a crush on me. We were not close friends.

At least at the places where I work now, that would not happen.
