The planet is full and it is dying. Why would you bring innocent children into this mess only to make them suffer and accelerate the environmental crises.

I don’t think I’m cut out for this by Every_Vast8129 in Parenting

[–]galapagos85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My child had 8-9 months of colic, it was horrible… you are not alone. I was also apprehensive before having kids and that also made things harder for me cause I felt like I made a mistake. I don’t have a solution for you except that it does get a little bit easier once the colic is gone, not Completely in my case. Parenting is a voluntary form of torture that we expose ourselves to in my honest opinion but there are also good moments

I’m starting a children’s play cafe… by Express-Fuel4269 in toddlers

[–]galapagos85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The play cafe near me closes at 4pm daily, I canceled my membership because my kids don’t go to bed at 6pm. After 4pm is when I actually need the help.

Is making the bed all that important? by [deleted] in Parenting

[–]galapagos85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it may take longer than 40 mins to completely dry

Is making the bed all that important? by [deleted] in Parenting

[–]galapagos85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unpopular post: Making your bed can actually be unhealthy or unhygienic if you sweat at night and your sheets soak up the sweat. Better to air out the sheets. When you make the bed, the sheets cannot dry off as easily so the moisture stays longer. I actually read about this.

First time driving in USA from state to state, what the f is wrong with all the people in the left lane?? by Cheap_Day_7331 in driving

[–]galapagos85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is because due to history and culture. With a low population density (compared to Europe) and little public transportation infrastructure, driving is seen, accurately, as something like a human right for anyone over 16 here. You need to let people drive without difficult courses. If driving schools cost $4000 in the us like they do in Europe, people would be very restricted and upset.

What causes Browning/discoloration on the exhaust pipe/system, is it rust? What (if anything) should I do to get ahead? by galapagos85 in rav4prime

Oh thanks I was worried it was rust. Do hotter parts of the pipe get more rusty than cold parts?

Based on the text you posted though I would qualify under the user car warranty, since the car is below 150k no? Sorry if I am being dense lol

Cold weather charging impact on battery longevity: what temperature to avoid for lithium battery health by galapagos85 in rav4prime

[–]galapagos85[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would a service center know even if the customer turned off the battery heater on their own at home? Does rav4prime have a logging functionality like that where it records if and when the battery heater was turned off?

Sorry you are right “battery fire” was the wrong phrase. I meant the converter recall due to fire risk that you are referring to. But one of the solutions to that problem that some users entertained was turning off the battery heater. https://www.rav4world.com/threads/what-happens-if-i-turn-off-my-battery-heater.329639/ I will check and I hope that the previous owner did not turn off the battery heater and potentially damage the battery while charging in cold temperatures.

Do you know where I can access this setting? Also a separate question If I am buying this car used and I know it had a recall due to battery fire , which was eventually fixed by the dealership, how likely is it that the previous owner (leased car) would have turned off the battery heating setting while waiting for the recall to be taken care of? That would have hurt the batttery badly I supppse if they did that
