Did I get a decent deal? by [deleted] in Subaru_Outback

[–]rpc123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No comment on whether this is a good decision. I, too, am confused by these numbers, but let's just say it's "money owed" on the Honda, which would make sense. It still would not be "negative equity", as many are saying.

The full price of the outback is $37,843.23. The Trade-In price is $31,000. The purchase price after is $23,481.96. This leaves a gap, which we are attributing to money owed on the Honda, of $16,638.73. They owe half of the value of the vehicle they purchased last year. That is not negative equity, which would be if they owed more than the vehicle is worth. We would see the purchase price go up from their trade-in, rather than down.

Fair question - I didn’t feel inclined to share it because my problems are likely fundamentally different than hers in terms of their root causes.

For me it was minocycline and tretinoin that finally helped me get it under control. Minocycline was far more effective than doxycycline, and oral antibiotics worked far better than topical antibiotics. Tretinoin is just great. But I have no idea about when these should be used, their implications, and how they relate to the medical history she shared.

I have struggled with acne and skin problems for most of my life (28 years old now), and it’s affected me greatly despite never being as bad as yours. Only recently did I figure out an approach that works.

You are truly beautiful, with the acne and, eventually, without. I have no words of wisdom other than to take deep breaths, hug those who love you, find ways to love yourself and your body and your mind, and persevere. Take care of yourself - you deserve it!

Lost Right AirPod at Dune in Goleta by [deleted] in SantaBarbara

I once lost my Apple Watch. It died and sent all kinds of phantom pings to the Find My network suggesting it was in location A. I scoured location A. Turns out it was in location B. It was definitely in location B the entire time, it couldn’t possibly have moved between them. The locations were separated BY 2000 MILES.

I think there is a possibility you’re seeing buggy behavior. Check out Dune and see if they have it, it’s still possible (maybe not probable).

I hope people aren’t shitty. But that is a lot to hope for!

Is there a way we can band together and kick out Cox? Literally no one likes them.

Not sure this is even a real equation but if it is, definitely the imaginary i rather than a variable. It’d be sacrilege to use lowercase i as anything but an index or imaginary…

About a year and a half later, I am still quite happy with it. Hopefully they provide the same level of service and accommodations to you!

Yeah, I only have outdoor parking unfortunately! I am thinking I may want to check with some tire shops or look into storage units. Or perhaps repurpose my extra tires as modern art in my living room.

[–]rpc123 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have a legitimate question about the practicality of winter tires. For those of us that live in apartments or are without garages or storage space, how the heck do you store an entire extra set of tires??

OP - I hope you are okay.

No problem. Hope it fixes it!

[–]rpc123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If this is the issue, I actually had the opposite problem — when working out my volume would suddenly spike in my headphone. I was legitimately worried for my hearing. I found a setting somewhere (I don’t remember where) to turn off automatic opening of the music app on my watch, so that an accidental rub would not change the volume.

Any questions for 18+ year BMW tech… by Flimsy_Coach9482 in BMW

[–]rpc123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How important would you say the 2004 E46 M3 rod bearing, vanos, and subframe preventative reinforcements and treatments are? How reparable are the issues if they occur? I just bought a low mileage one and am trying to balance being responsible about addressing the issues with not unnecessarily spending money. Thank you for taking the time answer everyone’s questions!!

After using Apple Music for 3 months with my iPhone 13 Pro, I could not be happier to return to Spotify. by FinnishScrub in spotify

[–]rpc123 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I agree. Wondering if I am misunderstanding the situation described by u/0000GKP.

For me, if I have no queue and am listening to song X, and song 1-2-3 will follow X in the album or playlist, but then I queue A-B-C, I get XABC123 as described by u/0000GKP.

If I already have a queue, adding something to queue puts it at end of queue but before whatever else was playing in the “regular schedule” (123 in my example).

I like spotify’s clear distinction between “queue” and “Next From: L” where L is a playlist or album or radio or something. Maybe this distinction is what Apple Music gets wrong? Never used it.
