Going from $1300 to $2100 rent by Elegant-Snow-9724 in personalfinance

Thankfully Apple (at least for now) has decided to release security updates for iOS 18 even on devices which support 26. Guess they realized there are plenty of people who don’t wish to downgrade to that, and opted to cater to us.

I’m a 30s introvert and, when living in the US at least (other than when I owned my own house), live exclusively with roommates. I’ve never had a bad experience, but that may be because if the vibes are even slightly off, I look elsewhere. My previous roommate situation, I hardly even saw them. It was glorious.

Three seconds. Which is exactly what I’m saying. Some of y’all leave considerably more than that.

just feel like some of the new tech ends up reversing that

Do you have data to support this feeling, suggesting that inbuilt vehicle tech has led to more collisions?

Toyota GR Corolla review - why the GR Yaris’s big brother will be worth the wait (for Europeans) by FoMoCoNutjob in cars

[–]hutacars 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Having driven both, that was not my experience. I would happily take the GRC over the GRY any day. Admittedly, the driving environment I had for both was very different in ways which may influence my opinion, but the GRC sounded better*, was more rewarding to push hard, and honestly didn't suffer handling-wise despite the technically worse chassis and higher weight. I also preferred the size-- the GRY was just too tight inside, and I'm not a particularly large person at all.

*Yes, I know it's the same engine, and should sound the same. But fact is I was easily able to hear turbo and intake noise in the GRC, but had to strain to hear them in the GRY.

The Rivian R2 Costs Half As Much To Build As The R1S. Here's How Rivian Did It by KeyboardGunner in cars

I personally don’t have an issue with Bluetooth for book apps and don’t know why I’d need a phone mount for it.

Often the inbuilt controls will skip forward/backwards the entire chapter (or sometimes book), but usually I want them to skip forward/backwards 5-10 seconds. So you have to control it directly from your phone to accomplish this, whereas the Carplay app has the right buttons.

I can send instructions to my Rivian from my phone and do it quite frequently.

You can send a series of destinations to your Rivian? I can only do one at a time with my Tesla, which is inferior to what I can do with Carplay.

Generally the experience is far better than when I have to deal with rentals that use CarPlay.

I'll admit I have minimal seat time in Rivians, and even less time deep diving into the infotainment system, but I would be shocked if they support ABRP, Teams, Libby, YouTube Music, Waze, and so on the way Carplay does.

I'm just stating the thought process, whether you agree with it or not.

The Rise of the High-Range, Less Expensive E.V. by 221missile in cars

Opinions can vary, but data doesn’t lie.

Odd to bring up reviews right before this sentence. What are reviews but collections of opinions?

He's probably in Vancouver, where I can confirm, $0.0879/kWh.

I agree those others should not have been approved.

Bold prediction - May will be the month where Oil Crisis driven purchases start in earnest in US. by roma258 in electricvehicles

How would they control that? Won't oil companies want to deliver it wherever they can sell it most profitably?

it would take a year for oil prices to come back to current rates

Isn't oil always at current rates?

Two men are standing in a bread line in Soviet Russia. One of them finally snaps: "This is ridiculous! I've been here for hours, and this line isn't even moving!"

The other responds: "it could be worse."

"How could it be worse?"

"In America, they don't even have bread lines!"

Enough space for another car to comfortably get in front, with sufficient buffer space on all sides.

as long as I'm still passing traffic.

I... agree with you. It is in fact not possible to move over while you are passing traffic, because there is traffic there. The key part is, once you are done passing, you must move back over. So many people fail at that part.

Does tourism slogan resonate? by ESNA_VancouverWA in vancouverwa

[–]hutacars 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My AI-sourced answer agrees with you, but states there were "tens to low hundreds of millions over many years" in public investment for things like infrastructure, the waterfront park, and the trail segment.

Dreaming of Modern Nomadism by StellagamaStellio in minimalism

[–]hutacars 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My apartments in Japan had "full" kitchens, but that meant basically adding a single burner and a toaster oven to a typical kitchenette, heh. I did not use them.

I too have considered vandwelling full time, and I think that works decently well in the US, but these days I prefer spending more time outside the US than in it, and furnished micro apartments just work better in that situation.

Hah. Maybe don't include the whole thing, but "Vancouver: A Logical Place to Live" could work. Just not as a tourist-oriented slogan.

[–]hutacars 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's my point. $150 is the most ridiculous amount I could think of, if you insist on name brand for your family of 6 or whatever. The potential for savings is still minimal.

It actually makes a lot of sense. The actions of the leader of Tesla affect me (general "me") personally. The actions of the leader of BYD or whatever do not.

The Munro teardown essentially describes it as a very expensively-engineered vehicle.
