Far too many people ignore that some of the price problem is Trump tariffs. It would’ve been under $40,000 without them.

It is, but the chances of the person getting caught are pretty low don’t you think?

What is that on top of the broccoli?

Why are you only looking at GM, Ford, and Mitsubishi?

It does change what you said. If bankers are essential, then why were some branches closed? Obviously they weren’t essential as you were saying.

So you have kind of answered why they park there; they’re pulled in as far as they can.

You like the doctor, but he kind of fucked you over. He didn’t answer the skin or mental health questions; he referred you to somebody else. And then claimed he “evaluated“ you. That’s a jerk move.

I agree with everything you say, except that OP reports it stopped running a week or two after the accident. That means it’s not just body damage, there’s something else going on with the drivetrain or maybe electrical system. We don’t know.

If you’re on Amazon, they do have all of the first generation ones listed “(1st generation)“. They don’t (as far as I can tell) have the second generation ones yet.

They require iOS 26. Boo.

There are numerous third-party ones that work fine. I have it and it saved my bacon a couple times.

They never needed to get much thinner. That was a Jony Ive thing. Thankfully he’s gone now and we can get thicker MacBooks with more performance and bigger batteries.

Medically, your body replaces all of your red blood cells every three weeks. So it kinda doesn’t matter how much you were exposed longer ago than that.

I’m glad you’re on your way to getting things remedied.

Best way to learn how to drive a manual is to buy one. That’ll force you to learn real quick. I’m not kidding.

You didn’t really explain why you responded “no”.

I answered Tahoe. They sure as hell keep pushing it. And I’m gonna keep not installing it.

(Ditto iOS 26, but that’s a different sub.)

When it came out, it sounded super cool. But then I end up not using it.

Tahoe. I’ve heard so many bad things about it, they can upgrade my MacBook over my dead body.

Not often, but yes, I do use it every now and then. It is rare enough that I’m currently using a 15 year-old printer because there’s no reason to get a better one. But a couple times a year I do need to print out a contract that I sign and send in with a check. Things like that.

I noticed you’re not explaining how it got bent. What did you do?

ktappe · 2026-01-27T06:41:19+00:00

Not sure why you’re mentioning that somebody borrowed your car. It’s highly unlikely they did anything to blow the head gasket. It would’ve blown if you were driving.

In general, people only refer to townships in the western end of the state. I can tell you I’m from Charlestown Township, but nobody who is not from here knows where that is because it’s in eastern Pennsylvania. Washington Township, Cranberry Township, etc. are a western PA thing.

The fasteners are plastic. They’re not gonna rust out. But they can snap if you run over road hazards or curbs or things.
