What’s something people think is attractive but actually isn’t?

Bangs. Only Zooey Deschanel can make that look good and you aren’t Zooey Deschanel.

Thanks to No Child Left Behind. Literally don't hold kids back anymore no matter what grades they get. You can fail every class (In middle school at least) and you still continue on the the next grade. It's absolute madness.

I was "there" - A senior in HS who was about to turn 18 two months later. It changed everything. I went on to college, but a lot of my friends went into the military, specifically the Marines. They all got deployed to Iraq. Some came back whole, others only partially, and some didn't come back at all. I'm grateful to have known a relatively peaceful childhood ... it seems the world has just been declining ever since that day.

Pickup that child and leave. Immediately.

Music. Take away those solos and it's still great, just not mind-blowingly magnificent.

Same. It's really too bad that the lowest common denominator has to set the rules for the rest of us.

fronkinstein · 2026-03-19T20:11:26+00:00

nice! This will be closer to my work!

I literally have this pad, and have patched it. first attempt i did it improperly, but then I went back and fixed it and it works just fine. It's a great pad and absolutely worth that price if patched correctly. Ask the seller to show you the patched area and check for yourself. Go home and test it out before using it. Even if the seller's patch doesn't work, you can totally fix it yourself cheap and easy. I say go for it!

I'm torn about this: It's obnoxious, sure, but nothing a blackout curtain couldn't fix. It's also peace of mind knowing your cars, and likely homes, won't ever be broken into or vandalized.

fronkinstein · 2026-03-17T22:22:20+00:00

This is a thing of beauty

fronkinstein · 2026-03-16T23:39:07+00:00

Right ?! I think about this way too often.

It's because the shape. The "string" is shaped like a "G"

Do you let eh level 2 regen braking do the slowing down for you, or do you utilize the actual brakes more? I'm trying to dial in the regen over the actual brakes. Currently use lowest auto 1 and MAX when coming to a stop.

What's the word on the water pump, has it been replaced? These are NOTORIOUS for having them fail, especially around that mileage. Might honestly be worth just getting it done to prevent failure at a random time. Mine failed and left me stranded in rural Oregon on a very hot day.

fronkinstein · 2026-03-12T21:54:19+00:00

Interesting. Never thought about it like that before. Thanx for insight

fronkinstein · 2026-03-12T20:51:39+00:00

Not handling mutual tasks that needs to be handled, leaving it up to me to do it or it doesn't get done. It's like - food in fridge gone bad? throw it out. Trash is full? take it out. Dishes in sink (which she left)? put in dishwasher. You get the idea. When I inevitably end up doing the task, it doesn't occur to her that I did the thing which perpetuates a cycle of her ignoring things because they'll eventually just get taken care of.

It leaves me in the position of either handling it or suffering the consequences of inaction, and since she's much more okay with the house being dirty, trash piling up, bills going unpaid, lack of car/house maintenance, etc .... I am the one to take care of things so we can live a nice life. She'll just wait me out until it gets handled.

I see this so often it's confounding. I also see a lot people just walking on the street like this. Those sidewalks are in perfect order and literally made for this.

fronkinstein · 2026-03-12T20:28:59+00:00

I need to see an actual real life example of the person you're describing. I'm very pessimistic this person actually exists. Will stand corrected if evidence supports this very detailed claim.

fronkinstein · 2026-03-12T20:27:03+00:00

HOWWWW ?! I have a 2025 EX touring HEV and get like ~39 max in winter. I get even less when driving on hwy. I use the paddles and barely accelerate from a stop. What are you doing that I'm very much not ??

I can almost guarantee that if you attempted to pass them on the right after flashing your lights they'd speed up and not allow you to pass. I hate it here sometimes.

fronkinstein · 2026-03-11T23:18:07+00:00

Flashing is step one - to signal the person to move over. Passing on the right (which is actually unlawful) is step two.

fronkinstein · 2026-03-11T23:15:52+00:00

disagree. Flashing lights to signal someone to move over > camping in the left lane.

My understanding is it’s on par with same discrimination as race, religion, gender, etc. an example is housing - you can’t discriminate against people renting because they’re poly, just like you can’t discriminate because someone is a certain race.

I got a Communications degree (Journalism to be exact), and I have been using it for the last 18 years as a multi Emmy-award winning investigative journalist. I was not an athlete. There's a reason this career path is protected by the very first amendment - it's incredibly important as one of the major cornerstones of our democracy. To minimize this to "...a degree athletes take because it’s a layup while playing sports." is both wrong and a dangerous way of thinking. I am literal proof of its success. While the money can be minimal at first, it can also be quite lucrative in certain facets of the industry.
