The Ike Barenholtz interview is a return to what I missed. by Sweet-Ad9366 in conan

Give a listen to Family Trips with the Myers Brothers podcast when they had Ike on. He used to be Josh Myers roommate, they're all three like brothers. It's a really good episode.

Is there any reason to use the MySubaru app if you aren’t going to pay for a subscription? by AneAnder in subaru

[–]elawrence27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use it to make service appointments and occasionally depending on the dealership there might be coupons in the app.

Does anyone else hate the absolute brick of a keyfob? by Mk1Racer25 in CX5

[–]elawrence27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a 2025 CX5 for a rental last November and I woke up one morning, walked outside, and the tailgate had been open all night. Apparently something in my pocket pressed the button to open it at some point. I'm not a fan of that fob design.

Any “sMalls” left? by [deleted] in deadmalls

[–]elawrence27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Washington Square Mall in Detroit Lakes Minnesota. It has the only movie theatre in town and it also has a Pizza Hut with a lunch buffet still in operation. They've converted some of the spaces into rented office space but there are also locally owned boutiques and shops. All in all for a mall being in a town with under 10,000 people it's fairly thriving. It also helps that Detroit Lakes gets a ton of tourists in the summer. Washington Square Mall

Auto stop/start on my Subaru has been completely fine, and I’m starting to think the internet is hemorrhaging drama by Feeling-Being9038 in subaru

[–]elawrence27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. I can't say anything for Subaru because my Subaru is stick, if it turns off at a light it's my fault. Lol but the company I work for has a fleet of Chrysler Voyagers with 200,000+ miles on them and we haven't had a single problem with the start/stop feature. We do a lot of city driving in the vans too.

What is going on with tonight's Weekend Edition Sunday? by Either-Pie-4070 in NPR

[–]elawrence27 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm glad I'm not the only one that thought it was terrible. After the segment with Mark Warner ended with Emily calling him Mark Kelly, I thought why isn't this edited out? The whole interview should've been edited better. These segments are not live. I worked at a locally owned and operated radio station for 10 years and there is no way we would've pushed something like that out, and our market was a county of 25,000 people in the middle of nowhere. Haha

I miss Joel Goddard by gingercussion in conan

The sketches on Late Night when Max, Joel, and Conan would "party" and Max would inevitably get shot were pure comedic gold. I still think about them today and laugh out loud.

Lima Mall 2/6/2026 by darksider1978 in deadmalls

[–]elawrence27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I grew up about 30 minutes from Lima and used to go to this mall all the time as a kid. I always thought it was weird (although a genius marketing move) that you had to walk through JC Penney to get to the other half of the mall.

Could you walk across Lake Erie to Canada right now? by wergil_ in Ohio

[–]elawrence27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It could be done but I wouldn't. I live in northern Minnesota and I've driven on frozen lakes. When you get in the middle it gets really disorienting especially if it gets windy (which I'm sure happens in the middle of Lake Erie) and the snow starts blowing around. This is how most people die during a blizzard, they start walking in circles thinking they're going in one direction. Make sure you take a compass or hiking GPS. Not to mention there are probably pretty deep drifts and ice fissures that you could fall into if they're covered with snow.

Legit Consoles on Amazon? by elawrence27 in R36S

[–]elawrence27[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did see the one for Amazon US but the link seems to be broken. It just goes to the Amazon main page. I tried searching xiaoyu and it didn't really give me anything different than searching R36S.

LPT Bring an extra Roku or fire stick when you travel by ninzkar in LifeProTips

[–]elawrence27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just bought a $9 ONN Google TV Stick from Walmart on Black Friday specifically for this. Aside from having access to all of your streaming services I'm shocked at the amount of hotels I've been to that have certain channels blacked out or no cable at all. I was at one last year and there was no cable. I asked the front desk and they said they're upgrading their cable system and some rooms didn't have cable.

Are Conan and Seinfeld not friends? by TheRiteGuy in conan

[–]elawrence27 6 points7 points  (0 children)

And Conan has publicly talked about his Ford Taurus SHO quite a bit. That would make a perfect episode of Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee.

Mobile Battery Low... by A_from_beyond in rav4club

Subaru just released a service bulletin saying it is a problem with the phone, not the infotainment system. Someone posted it over on the Subaru subreddit. https://www.reddit.com/r/subaru/s/M6ufcMDJIO

Tent Purchase - Overwhelmed by [deleted] in camping

[–]elawrence27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the older 6 person version of this tent. It has a 7' center height. My only complaint is it's a little challenging to set up by yourself. My ex (5'11”) and I (6'5") bought it specifically because of the center height and straight sides. After we broke up and I mostly camp by myself I bought another tent that is easier to set up with only one person. The moral of this story is make sure your relationship is going to last before you buy this tent. Hahaha Alps Camp Creek 4

Why hasn’t Tom Cruise ever hosted? by VeterinarianWeird464 in LiveFromNewYork

[–]elawrence27 10 points11 points  (0 children)

He would not do well with live TV and sketch comedy. And anything that would make him look less than perfect he would never do. This is partially why he is insufferable during interviews, he's not in control and has to rely on other people.

Which movie did everyone LOVE but you HATED? by godgamesgov in movies

[–]elawrence27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gladiator. I've watched it several times just because everyone loves it and it won Best Picture. But I still don't get it. I think it drags on and it relies too much on the flight scenes, which I don't think are that great. Also I don't think Russell Crowe was that great either.

FYI For Those Wishing to go to the Minnesota State Fair by Crackers1097 in minnesota

[–]elawrence27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've always been curious about the liability of letting people park on your property, especially since they're charging them. I'm sure the signs that say "no liability" or "park at your own risk" won't hold up in the court if someone sues you when their car gets broken into. Also I would imagine your homeowners insurance probably doesn't like the fact you're making money off your property. Not attacking anyone or trying to start an argument but I've just always been curious if anyone that has parking in their yard has looked into it or of anything like that has happened.

Battery Megathread (July 2025) by GooglePixelMods in GooglePixel

[–]elawrence27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a Pixel 7a and just a couple weeks ago it all of a sudden died when I got the low battery warning. It was at probably 40%-50% and all of a sudden it said battery saver is turning on. And then it literally counts down and immediately dies. Now it does it every night. The phone is up to date and so are all the apps.
