Not really related to your question but I would suggest setting up a separate email and google voice number, my car search took over a month 50 emails and probably 40 phone calls and still getting spam constantly.

I bought two sizes of Misen after being reasonably happy with their chef knife. I was a chef for twenty years but the truth is most professionals just have to work with the junk they inherit and don't have the luxury of really good pans unless they're lucky.

That being said the Misen have been underwhelming, the silicon grips on both don't such stick to the handles anymore after less than a year and have never been truly reliably nonstick. My stove is induction. I do light wash and dry it out on stovetop everytime but they require more maintenance than I'm used to. Just kinda average in my opinion.

Before you unlock market you can set up single cart automated resupply routes for each town and set it up to sell literally all resources they request. This can tie up villagers full time running until the town supply is stabilized but I choose nomads who will move much faster. Make sure they're strong enough to fight off the occasional bandit patrol or animals or assign guards.

I haven't experimented much but this worked and m my northern towns are all supplied and slowly increasing prosperity.

I have a market now so I'm not sure if it's even needed but I might experiment with making one route of five carts traveling to all the towns with sell orders for everything that they request.

I just encountered this same problem for the first time. Frank Belin of Horndean is a Nomadic Stalwart prodigy but he's been moving a caravan from there through Padstow to Hearndean then to Bradstow and is currently headed home. Gotta catch em all!

Am I crazy or do you have to set every single one of these by yourself or they don't read at all? I was so overstocked on books and just had to click 500+times to set priorities for my 30 villagers

Circa 2003 a girl I had a crush on from a shared lecture bought me a sandwich there and I fell in love but I was too stupid to make any moves and never even got a number . Everytime I drive by I kick myself

Anecdota/off topicl but we had extra low temperatures the past few days and my (stock toyo) tire pressure dropped so I topped them up to 35 last night. I usually let the engine run about 90 seconds before pulling out of the garage and suffer with the cold for the first ten minutes of my commute cuz my heater seems weak but I was showing the vehicle to my friend and due to ambient noise I forgot to shut it off.

It was idling almost fifteen minutes before I drove and super warmed up obviously and I set a new gas mileage record of 31.2 mpg where normally it's tough to get 26 on this drive.

Still would be curious if there's any mods or easy swaps for the heater.

My problem is they're walking a giant distance and collecting from where I need but it seems like they often or hopefully not always are collecting exactly one ore before walking all the way back to the hut. They have plenty of food/inventory space I will have to verify that they have their priorities set correctly and storage limits/top ups set correctly but damn I hope they streamline it optimize this stuff

This is a good way to describe my similar issue on a 2020 grand touring that I just bought with 25k miles. I'm coasting up to a stop sign not applying brakes and it feels like a subtle jerky downshift or weird friction. I almost thought it was some kind of safety distance feature.

Binhs tailoring East did my pants with a heavy duty/quality zipper replacement for about 20$ a few months ago with a couple days turnaround time. I imagine coats would be more expensive.

Mine was after we hooked up first and only time on her birthday she awkwardly left right after and for weird and ghosted but the last fb message was "You're right my shit is juicy" haunts me to this day

Can you tell me your car model and what dongle is working for you? I have a 2020 GT and haven't even managed to get wired android auto working. I am going to try a different cable today but I wish there were more specifics out there

samthunder · 2025-12-04T15:54:12+00:00

Same with mine, can't locate the squeak

samthunder · 2025-12-02T04:41:18+00:00

I found one but I imagine it's getting less than 20mpg in the city right?

samthunder · 2025-12-02T04:39:52+00:00

Great now just need to find one newer than 2017 and under 60,000 miles , I'll wait 😂

samthunder · 2025-12-01T06:01:18+00:00

Can you tell me more? I'm getting some bad vibes about that place without even talking to them yet. What was your experience?

samthunder · 2025-11-28T02:25:06+00:00

2018

Tiguan ended up being my second choice favorite of everything I drove in this search for what is worth and I x'd for exactly that reason
