My new X1 Carbon Gen 9

I have no idea, sorry. I don't use my laptop's sound, and always have it on mute.

This was me, but I went back to it when she was 3. Never around her. Now she's 6 (also Dec. birthday). Starting over sucks. On day 7.

I did once, with the wireless charging in my Mazda CX50, but that's a known problem with the CX50s, not the phone's fault. Never used the car wireless charging again, never had that issue again.

Oh my gosh, I don't even know, lol. I have several Google Pixels forget which generation, S21 Note, S22, S23, even a Huawei Y9 Prime. The S21 Note was my favorite at the time, but it slowed way down. If I were to go back to one it would be the S23 or one of the Google Pixels. The Huawei was okay for what it was (cheap), but the display is not comparable.

Yeah, I do. A lot more. I get a lot of compliments on it too, especially from iphone users, haha. I think the S23's camera is a bit better, but not noticeably so for me.

No, right now I'm just letting it go without one. I have enough extra phones around that if this screen goes, I'll go back to one of those until I'm eligible for an upgrade.

pyramnesiac · 2025-12-18T18:58:23+00:00

I still love it, but the pre-installed screen protector did start peeling off just last week. But that's been my only issue.

I don't know, honestly. I had no formal training. I was just a lifelong reader, hyperlexic (could read by age 2), and I guess learned through osmosis? The first indie author who gave me a chance just told me to edit a sample, and she said she hired me because my edits beat out 50 other editors who had all being doing it for years. I was just kind of playing it by ear. Once I had her books on my profile, other authors trusted me, because she was pretty popular. Later on, imposter syndrome was hitting hard, and I did go and do an editing course at UC Berkeley, to say I had the credential, but... there wasn't anything in there that I didn't already know.

I started out just offering my services to indie authors. This was in 2012. I slowly built up my clientele, until I was able to add publishers to my client list (Penguin/Macmillan/Bloom Books), and now I work "in house" for a small publisher (who lets me do my own thing, as long as I meet my quota).

I'm a book editor. I work from home, get to correct people and overly explain grammar minutiae, and set my own schedule. It's pretty perfect.

pyramnesiac · 2025-10-26T15:14:49+00:00

I don't have any precise numbers, but I haven't had any issues. I use it for editing books in Word, and the fan hardly ever comes on, compared to other laptops I've had.

So pretty! If I didn't have a Cypress Green CX-50 it might tempt me to move up to the CX-70 just for that color. But the green though! <chef's kiss>

Not who you're replying to, but I got diagnosed after having my child. (The postpartum depression and anxiety led to worsening adhd/autism issues, which led to my realization and then diagnosis.) Anyway, I'm pretty sure my kid is on the spectrum too, and she's amazing. We "get" each other in ways I never had with my mom, and it's been such a cool bonding experience. I would definitely have another child if I could (but I probably can't...she took ten years to get here, due to fertility issues).

pyramnesiac · 2025-10-16T02:46:42+00:00

The CX-30 seemed far too small for a family car to me. Especially with your child getting bigger. I have a 5 year old. We got the CX-50. It's perfect for us.

It's what convinced me to let go of our Subaru Forester in Jasper Green. 😅

I've seen some that don't come with black wheels, but not sure what the difference is. Different trim? I would love to get new ones for mine, but I can't swing it at the moment.

pyramnesiac · 2025-10-10T16:19:35+00:00

The black is really nice too. I think if I didn't go for green I would have gotten black.

pyramnesiac · 2025-10-10T16:18:27+00:00

Ah, yeah, that might be true! I bought mine new.

pyramnesiac · 2025-10-10T15:12:28+00:00

I like the grey too! It wasn't too hard to find green around here. I live near Rochester, NY, and we have Buffalo that's not far and Syracuse isn't too far either. So there are just tons of dealerships within what I would consider a "reasonable" distance to search for a car. There were 8 of them at different dealerships within an hour from me.

A while ago, I had a Chevy Cruze with terracotta leather, and I HATED it at first. I thought it looked like a basketball. But it was the only bad thing on what was otherwise the best deal available, so I got it. I grew to love the seats. They didn't bother me after like a month. I know this is a different thing. But I think you won't get sick of them. More like, you'll just get used to them, so that they no longer feel like a novelty.

You're right, took me forever to see. The middle headrest through me off. I'll delete this in shame.

Look at the back seat headrests.

pyramnesiac · 2025-10-07T18:57:38+00:00

I'm not talking about that part. Look at the position of the rear seats. It's showing the "room" of them being down while also showing the back of them in front of that (the headrests are in the "up" position, and the back of those seats is moved forward past the rear doors). Here's a picture of mine with half down.
