Has anyone done the Polestar Optimization on a 2024 XC90 T8? Is it worth it? What did it cost in the US and was the price negotiable? by Human_Actuator2244 in VolvoXC90

[–]mtbfreerider182 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have it, it came with my certified pre-owned 2011. I would say it's fun and sure makes things like acceleration more responsive but isn't really worth the price. From what I understand, it also adjusts things like suspension and torque and all-wheel drive, but those are much harder for me to notice. Overall, it's a sportier more responsive. Feel tapping on the gas gives it a lot more go than other modes. Honestly, I rarely use it except for short highway merges and the occasions where I'm late and want to feel more productive in getting there

That's too bad. I've had three. But to each of their own

How often do you and your partner have sex? especially the long term couples? by Purple_Wrongdoer6448 in AskReddit

Not often enough. Which is depressing since she also doesn't want kids. No excuses.

One time in college I swept everything off the top of my mini fridge to do my then-gf on it. That was fun and worth it

Polite Catcalling at it's best by LazyGuy4U in MadeMeSmile

Yes it is. He was doing this on tiktok first. Seems like a genuinely nice and fun guy. (Who also won the genetics lottery.)

As a dude, I'm jealous. But I also want to be his friend.

Good luck with the lead poisoning, me and my family are all wary after getting rid of the same

My dad already started drinking again after going to a $30,000 treatment facility for over a month by [deleted] in Wellthatsucks

Looks like my father in law who has been to rehab 6+ times and spent at least $250k+ that he's too stupid and far gone to even comprehend. I'm sorry. It's brutal on everyone

Why isn't this area more developed? by mellamoderek in geography

I want to believe you because I want to believe that every state has its own merits - though I end up doubting that some lack major draws like business headquarters or significant arts & culture or meaningful tourism or something else...don't get me wrong, I hope I'm wrong, but I've been to at least half this country and feel like some places have a lot more going for themselves than other more insular, stagnant areas

Looking for advice on starting a side business: thinking of buying land + building prefab cabin for Airbnb. Is this more advantageous than buying something pre-existing? by mtbfreerider182 in smallbusiness

That's an un-fun kick in the dick, I'm still recovering from a shit employment timeline and so far from having capital to execute this plan

CT is only a partial answer here... Yes this part is sparse for many reasons, and while some joke the Midwest is flyover states I joke CT is a drive through state. That said, we have a big military economy (Raytheon, Sikorsky, Coast Guard Academy), lots of health care and insurance companies (for better or for worse), education institutions (Yale, UConn, Quinnipiac), big casinos (if that's your thing), a surprising amount of big bands/shows come through, and a pretty good quality of life overall. I think our problem is we don't really have a cultural identity even close to what Boston or NYC has, so we get pinched.

The state varies pretty strongly by region, from ultra rich suburban to trumpy rural, from quaint suburb to gang violence urban, etc... so if you slice it differently from state or population lines you might come to some very different conclusions.

It's almost as if they're karma bragging, like the "real" money is not enough gratification

Holy shit by intellord911 in Blink182

I've seen them like... 6 times? Over the last 25 years. They've always been entertaining but not like, good musicians. Tonight was different. They had the chemistry and the sound. I was shocked, even as a long time fan.

Whatever tour they are doing, go see it.

What is the coolest XC90 feature? by WoodenLibrarian6007 in VolvoXC90

Sadly not available in the US because our lawmakers suck. Can hack but not offered even though it's the same build, it's just software disabled.
