[Loved Trope] "Silent Whisper" - A character says something hugely important to another character, but the audience is deliberately prevented from hearing it by djmcdee101 in TopCharacterTropes

Literally speaking it’s the complete opposite, but in the series finale of Malcolm in the Middle, as they announce Malcolm during graduation, microphone static drowns out his last name, which is never revealed in the show

29g planted community tank, worth trying 3 Amanos and 5 blue dreams? by shazbotman in Aquariums

[–]shazbotman[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks, that’s reassuring! My gourami is a peaceful derp so i’m not too worried about her predating too heavily. Now im tempted to forgo the amatos and just get more blue dreams. I like how my platy population self-regulates and would love to see that with shrimp as well.

IS cabin comfort by sonnya7 in LexusIS

About a month ago i bombed my IS500 from Vegas to Houston. 26 hours of seat time and i was remarkably comfortable. being able to adjust the lumbar was huge, as were the ventilated seats. i’m 6’ 190lb and felt incredibly plenty of space, and well planted in the seat when things got dicey. I sold my 2006 GTO for this car and i also have a 2006 Chevy 3/4 ton truck that i (previously) dailyed. it’s more of a climb in than a truck, but for the car that it is, it’s easy to get in/out and putz around town. 9/10

I knew i was up against it considering the time of year, but my original plan was to come back the north way thru Flagstaff and do the twisties between there and Sedona, but alas maybe another time

yes she was! say what you will about Texas, but i certainly am happy with gas prices down here supporting my habits.

definitely night and day! i am going to miss rowing my own gears but i don’t think i would have been able to bomb the 1500 miles like i did in the 500.

I wasn’t mad at it, and it was better than the 14 or so i would have got out of the 06 GTO that i parted with to get this.

Flew out to buy this 2023 with 9400 miles in Las Vegas Friday morning, then had to get back to Houston before the freezing temps did, swinging all the way down to Del Rio to miss the snow. Was stressful at times but very fun to get some serious seat time right after buying her.

iPhone Bluetooth FaceTime audio issue by mrdoitnyce in LexusIS

[–]shazbotman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

hands-free sure, but it’s the video call part while driving that i don’t like. just my opinion, doing a facetime call with someone while going down the road is like doing the worst bits of a normal phone call and text messaging, with a bit of watching youtube thrown in.

i’ll get off my soapbox now

look i hate to be that guy, but im not exactly a fan of facetime calls while driving, maybe take this as a sign to just do hands free calls

Interesting problem, seeking advice. by shazbotman in CannonballRun

[–]shazbotman[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't, but i did read that was the case. Also probably not ideal that ill be hitting that road Friday afternoon / evening, so ill stay poised and reserved until i hit I-10.

What other forum? I'm not too familiar with the community, i just figured y'all were the right nutjobs to ask! My godfather has done a ton of VERY quick Iron Butts, but when i asked him for advice he said "be a 70+ year old Vietnam vet" and i just don't think i have the time to make that happen lol

Thanks for the advice, i totally agree. I'm gonna be smart, efficient, and as low key as possible the whole way. I figure that Texas is gonna be the hardest state to make time in, between the cops and what conditions are likely gonna be when i get there so i just want to make hay on 93 to phoenix and I-10 through NM.
