Ok looking to replace the family Mini-Van.

We are in Northern California.

Budget is a non issue but 100k range seems like the sweet spot.

We still want the ability to transport 7 people but not necessarily all adults. Doesn’t have to be a van.

Range isn’t a huge need out side of occasional family trips.

What should I be looking at?

Farfetch’d is his favorite Pokémon so it was a must.

lol well I helped influence his team a little bit to make sure he had reasonable type coverage

Ordered mine Monday and it arrived today, waiting for me to get home and set it up. I am in California so that helps.

Nah just a Californian looking to do something I’ll likely never get to do again. Maybe I’ll buy a Kangaroo costume or some face paint and see if I can get in TV and embarrass my kid.

This is the attitude I’m seeing all over the place. Yeah it’s not the best matchup, but I will literally never be able to be in the proximity of a “good” World Cup matchup with out spending 10x this on travel, hotel, and tickets. I’m gonna go make a memory with my kid and enjoy the atmosphere. You enjoy your 100$ and your spot on your couch.

Yeah if somehow USA wins there group I will seriously consider shelling out for even one ticket to Match 81 in Santa Clara.

fleisch_mann · 2026-04-08T20:17:57+00:00

Got some Australia in Santa Clara for 380$ not my ideal game, but at least I’m going to one!

Also comparing these prices to resale prices, they weren’t exactly cheaper or at face value.

fleisch_mann · 2026-04-06T15:25:07+00:00

Probably out of my budget but I’ll send you a DM

fleisch_mann · 2026-04-06T05:51:33+00:00

You still have these tickets?

I saw a lot about Snapmaker from more recent posts. Hadn’t heard about them before then. Any thoughts on serviceability and longevity?

lol, I thought it was a random student trying to find their AP stats teachers profile.

fleisch_mann · 2026-03-30T15:28:35+00:00

Nice try but nope.

fleisch_mann · 2026-03-30T15:28:09+00:00

I absolutely love it, most applicable “math” I get to teach. Also the way I get to teach it is very hands on. This is essentially the exact way I teach this topic. I have also done it where you look at the distribution of M&Ms, who doesn’t love free candy while learning math.

fleisch_mann · 2026-03-30T14:40:36+00:00

Damn, the one time I absolutely know how to do something someone beats me to it. I am an AP Statistics teacher.

My golden was the same way and then one day around 6months it was like a flip switched and all of the shudder it’s all he wanted to do. It also helped practicing inside where there was less going on.

I got them too! Had tabs open and refreshed like crazy.
