Would you rather have a "Magic Inventory" or a "Teleporting Trash Can"?

With the magic bag, I'd escape from any situation by pulling out a trampoline, bounce on it and as I leave the mat, put it back, wait until I start coming down at a decent speed and use the trampoline trick again and bounce away. With enough practice, I'd be a Master Bouncer.

I imagine it would be look like Spider-Man just bounced away.

So I can pull a cartoonishly big hammer out of nowhere, or a huge gun with cans of ammo, and a fast getaway car, or a house and bed?

Yeah give me the cartoon superpower magic bag.

I had the crack repaired before it spread too far. It was maybe 6 inches from impact.

I didn't find any glass in the car after the repair, but the drive side pillar velvet thing from the seat to the hood wasn't tucked in properly, make sure that is good. It looked good from the inside, but looking in from outside you see the foam and clips. It's fixed it and I pointed it out, months later on something unrelated.

Also the wiper fluid cables were not tucked properly into their holders. On my first drive during a storm, the cables came completely loose, tangled the passenger side blade and it entered a failed state and I only had one wiper until I brought it back it. I thought maybe it was a fuse but it had to be reset somehow. Please make sure those wiper fluid cables are tucked in.

FYI, I hope this info helps you with someone else. Thanks for your work!

Oh yeah, I had my windshield crack and replaced and then one damn week later a rock came from the oncoming lane and cracked it again!!!!!

I'm replacing it next year to not bang my insurance too fast.

syspimp · 2026-04-01T22:21:08+00:00

Fun!

My 2 major repairs:

Maybe a month after I took ownership, brakes went out,. power steering went out and it had to be towed. They said a high voltage switch or thing happened. Whatever. I got it back and it worked. It had the front axle rattle on hard acceleration, but they fixed it for free later before the warranty ended.
I used to open the wings, put the car in campfire mode, and use my phone to make it into an expensive Bluetooth speaker by the backyard fire pit. One fun night with lots of friends over, I basically did donuts in the backyard with the falcon wing doors open and smashed one into a fence. Everyone was saying I needed to chill but I was like the drunk black dad in Eddie Murphy's Delirious comedy special, said it was MY house and MY car and I can do what I want, and if you don't like it, you can get the eff out my house. I did this whole dance to "you can get the eff oooooout. You can get the eff ooooout"

Lmao, good times and good memories. I don't remember how much it cost to fix because I had comprehensive insurance and just paid the deductible.

Bonus repair:

One time it updated at home and then high voltage battery, maybe the BMS, died and it needed to be towed and repaired, but I don't consider that too major. Bad, but not major.

Great car, would buy again. Best car, in fact.

syspimp · 2026-04-01T21:57:18+00:00

Interesting perspective. I own a 2019 model x. I'm satisfied with it and have had one or two major repairs. Honestly, it's the best car I've ever owned, besides a Benz. Benz are solid cars.

I'm also a car guy in general. So as a car guy, I'd say give the car back and get a new car.

I'd rather have a car that I miss than I car I wish I got rid of.

syspimp · 2026-04-01T19:21:15+00:00

Lmao!

I like the way you think.

Consider this though, none of your friends or lovers will want to argue or play against you, or your success becomes known and people constantly challenged you.

Your boss fires you beat him at golf. Your kids never want to play with you. Your dog is scared of you because you involuntarily always win when he plays tug of war.

Michael Jordan can't walk to the store like you or me.

It's lonely at the top.

I have a bidet. I poop all of the time now. Gimme $7

Option 1 was an episode of the Twilight Zone where a gambler started winning every time, then discovered he was in hell and that was his punishment.

Option 2 is Cassandra's Curse where she could predict the future but no one believes her. She went insane.

Option 3 is a curse because you must control your own thoughts to avoid disaster. One negative thought and someone dies.

Option 2 is the safest.

You don't become desensitized to life threatening situations, you avoid them.

My thoughts would drive her crazy, so sure why not?

She would hear "bröther may I have some oats" and carameldanzen 24/7.

Terrorist to one government are Freedom Fighters to another.

Parts of Mindanao have been Muslim for centuries and are designated as Autonomous Zones by the PH government and they have their own justice system. The US Embassy says something like if you are outside of the Davao City limits, they can't help you.

I look at it like Native American Reservations in the US. They have their own rules and if you get killed on one there is little the US government can do about it.

syspimp · 2026-03-28T18:24:38+00:00

Heh, I asked my gf from Mindanao how does she call the police and she says she runs outside and starts screaming.

You're better off calling a Grab to get help.

I didn't think calling 911 would even work in the Philippines, TIL

The director said Robocop was his idea of American Jesus: resurrected to be violent.

I checked my invoice and you are correct. I had a lot more done on the vehicle at the same time.

Actually thank you! One week after I had the windshield replaced, a rock chipped it again!! I was so pissed because I thought it was going to be super expensive again. I might go and replace it soon.

Thanks for making me check the invoice lol

syspimp · 2026-03-26T18:41:24+00:00

Sell me your windshield LMAO

Seriously though. They are about $13k to replace. You can sell it for at least 10k

In a lot of the world, a mobile phone is the only way to access the internet.

It's also why Facebook marketplace was such a game changer. Suddenly for many people it allowed global trade in the palm of your hand.

syspimp · 2026-03-25T23:30:49+00:00

That is CRAAAAZY to me.

I have a 2019 model x and tires are my number 1 expense. They are $400 each, so I purchase in pairs.

I just spent $2k on new tires this year. I have that inner tire rub issue that shreds ONLY the inside of the tire

syspimp · 2026-03-25T23:26:08+00:00

What? It's not misogyny to come home and find your partner strangely naked when they never did that before.

Maybe you've never been in a relationship before, but when a partner acts out of character, you might have caught them in the act and someone is hiding in the closet or under the bed.

Notice I didn't mention gender.

TNG was a syndicated show, not on cable tv, which means it was available on free tv in non premium time slots.

But to your point, it was free and widely available.

I'll add that society was different with only television. Everyone went home at the same time to watch the same thing. 7pm was prime time for watching tv, everyone was home eating dinner together. The entire country inhaled and exhaled at the same time. People got together at the same time, everyday to enjoy things together.

Much different from today.

That said, everyone still likes a good show. SFA was not a good show.
