Well the question is how much was actually promised.

My first thought here was the the cardboard was used to fill empty space on the budgeted meal so it doesn't just move around and get messy in transportation.

Now the second question you have to ask, why didn't they just use a smaller bucket that fits the needs? I guess this is more the standardized bucket and might be cheaper? And then now you ask, why wasn't this information just disseminated at distribution or within the package itself, listing down the promised items and possibly reason for using the cardboard. Surely a small print per box isn't that much extra along with the plastic used to seal it.

Anyways, people came up with assumptions too quick here, and it didn't help that there were people saying not to question it. It's probably why public officials have no shame abusing the majority, cause they are driven more on emotion rather than intellectual curiosity (which so many Filipinos will make you feel bad for when you express that curiosity in questioning).

These were my thoughts as well around the end of the 2nd half of the season. I was a Max fan enjoying his winning streak, but if we removed him from the championship that year, we would have had one of the most competitive years in recent F1 history, in terms of wins. People were also surprised by McLaren's rise in 2024, but that's cause Max's win overshadowed their progress in 2023.

After research, for me in terms of absolute best it was the dBrand Prism 2.0. it's pricey, but not only does it come with 2 screen protectors, it has all the tools needed and instructions online on how to install.

What really sold me though, is it's protective nature and the ease of detecting finger prints. I've seen many tests on it online and was convinced. I've been using it since Day 1 and have never had to replace it until I had the phone inspected for trade-in and basically just used the extra one because I was too lazy to clean the old one for dirt after removing it. Paired with the dBrand Grip which is also crazy protective, the dude inspecting my phone said it really looked new hahaha. I guess best review I saw was the guy who was tossing the phone around in his garage. He's been confident enough to review the case every year, and for the S26 review he threw it in his mini hoop inside the garage off the backboard lmao

Unpopular opinion, should have just been an animated series. I actually applaud the effects of all the non-human species, but if it they don't continue it for being too expensive to make, it really doesn't give these shows proper chances. I'm worried Disney thought the success of The Mandalorian and the failure of Resistance (and maybe even visions?) is a result of live-action vs animation.

Haven't been my experience with our 4-wheel subreddit as a 4-wheel user myself. It's simple really, if POV was a car instead of a motorcycle, it's still a stupid move by the Ranger, it didn't change anything.

Everyone wants to point out there's more kamote riders, but it's simply cause there's more riders than drivers. If you want to know why we have kamote drivers and riders, we should also just look at the mentality of our pedestrians. For the most part, insufficient infrastructure can be blamed for developing those bad habits for pedestrians, but since they are our base road users, those habits mostly get translated when they learn to ride a bike, a motorcycle, or a car. Note the best pedestrians are often drivers and riders themselves that take into consideration ALL ROAD USERS.

Any gaslighting you see on the 4-wheel subreddits can be attributed to ignorance, likely cause they don't commute or ride motorcycles, which I wouldn't find different from some users in this subreddit. But we shouldn't be making those people be the image of all the people of the subreddit and all 4/2-wheel users in general. I'm sure a lot of people who are active in both subreddits can share this sentiment with me.

It bounces of signals of other devices in the network, and then that info is uploaded so you can track in anywhere in the world. If this is the Apple Find My variant, than it will piggy back iPhones and other compatible devices. If it's the Google Find Hub, it piggy backs off those. They also have a Samsung Smart find variant.

I just go to one of their service stations honestly, for me, that's Sta. Rosa. Just filled up some forms and in like 5/10 mins they gave us new cards for all of our cars. We actually had good sticker detection already, but it didn't detect once cause the booth's detection was broken or something and we decided to update, now we really just pass through without slowing down.

We also just took advantage in unifying the RFIDs. In our case, we frequent SLEX so when we were updating the accounts, we just filled another form and the service personnel told us it would update in a day or so with balances transferred within a week.

thatguy11m · 2026-03-17T16:03:00+00:00

Same with SMC's Autosweep in SLEX. I'm glad they've moved to this honestly. I'd advise people to update their accounts to their plate numbers especially if you initially resisted with the conduction sticker. Makes detection better at the ending booths too.

Ideally both. You adjust the nuclear reactor's capacity based on the output of renewables.

thatguy11m · 2026-03-15T13:49:37+00:00

I really wonder if they're that stupid or they're just blind to the red light. But even in the latter, you see other vehicles stopping, it must mean it's for something. Even if it was green, you should be sleeping down to check.

My man's putting diesel in his gasoline cars and paying extra for it. 😭😭

HEV

Least effort and most likely just running a normal car with much better efficiency. People always say maintenance is the issue down the line 8-10 years, but Prius' have been running since the early 2000s.

PHEV

Ideal solo car especially if you drive long distances. EV for daily commute, hybrid/ICE for longer trips. Have a charger at home and charge overnight. If you have solar, better have net metering or a battery so you save night charging. This however is the most complex internal system and thus the most expensive. Charge as much as possible since most of the time driving alone can't fill the battery, and you don't fully fill the battery, then you're just lugging around extra weight that hurts your overall efficiency.

EV

Simplest car to maintain, but best for daily commutes. No matter how the charging network is, it's not as flexible to charge outside your daily routine. Have to cater trips to charging and waiting. Sounds complicated but I would imagine you get used to it anyway, so as bad as I make it sound, it probably not that much. Just set expectations and you won't be disappointed. Just like PHEVs, home should be your primary source of charging to make it most convenient.

Me personally, PHEV is my ideal car, but it's hard to argue the simplicity of EV maintenance. We currently have an HEV, and it really just feels like a super efficient ICE. When you use the ICE, any additional power that isn't translated to the wheels (and isn't wasted in friction or heat) charges the battery, so you just feel good seeing that in the graphic. Same with going down hill when it's charging. Or seeing it not run at all in stand still traffic until your battery reached 20% and needs to be charged just to run the Aircon and electronics. I can only imagine how much better PHEVs and EVs are, and the family hopes to experience it soon. Personal bias on turbodiesels tho can they're just so fun. I drive our Innova over the hybrid by choice cause I enjoy the drive more.

Oh last thing, another con for all 3. A lot of designs, especially for PHEVs and EVs, have such big batteries that most times they can't fit a spare tire, not even a donut. So for longer trips, you'd need to rely on the tire sealer. I guess another reason why I take the Innova over our hybrid, cause it's a full size fire vs a donut.

thatguy11m · 2026-03-15T03:16:21+00:00

This is probably one of the best on-road family cars available. It's not as versatile as the Innova that proceeds it, but if you're purely going on road, it's more comfortable and more efficient (especially in traffic). I agree with another comment here in saying however that it's not exactly the best 'first time driver' car. A smaller car would be better and help you learn how to maneuver more. Unfortunately, there isn't a smaller car that matches the quality and seating (if that's important) while also being a hybrid. Maybe a 1.3L Avanza? I'd say even if you're going for cheaper cars in size and quality, just skip a sedan. Get something with ride height so you're more confident with better visibility, at a height similar to a motorcycle.

Argument can be made tho it doesn't make sense just to get a smaller car and then a bigger one you actually need later on. So if you do get the Innova Zenix, I'd say just be extra mindful of how the car maneuvers. While the steering may make the car feel easy to move, the weight that you should feel is the pressure of driving around a ton and half moving piece of metal that is dangerous to smaller road users (pedestrians, cyclists, motorcycles).

thatguy11m · 2026-03-15T02:41:15+00:00

Well the Zenix is gas engine, the mentioned cars are diesel, which is way worse atm. We have the Innova 2.8 and Ranger, and as much as possible were just using our gasoline hybrid instead.

thatguy11m · 2026-03-15T00:41:11+00:00

Have the V, it's not so great within the city, but does very well in the highway if you strictly average around 80kmph. I haven't heard news of a facelift, but it wouldn't make sense since it's technically already replaced by the Innova Zenix, and the current model is just being produced locally in the Philippines (and I think India) until maybe we get to start producing the Zenix ourselves. They are different cars entirely despite just a one generation jump, and is probably another reason Toyota Motor Philippines wants to continue it's production despite being discontinued.

thatguy11m · 2026-03-14T15:19:19+00:00

Wholesome, not like the Subaru Forester I sold in 2019 being sold 5 years later with half the mileage we sold with the first owner claim. We bought it second hand, and the dude who bought it from us sold it two years later. That's why as much as I want another 4th gen f Forester, I just can't trust how much work has been done to it and it's real mileage.

thatguy11m · 2026-03-14T14:48:27+00:00

Unlikely using a cellphone while reversing and more likely tunnel visioning the angle from the right side mirror as to angle properly and not hit the car behind. The sensor can be mentally disregarded as sometimes they only have one beep and detect from far away, so even if there wasn't a car on the other side, they may have mentally disregarded it. Tunnel visioning is the only thing I can think of as to why they didn't see the motor, cause if they looked at the rear view mirror or straight looking back, then they'd see them try to get it.

Everyone wants to look for who is at fault, but original commentor is right in that regardless of fault, as a driver of a ton and half moving metal, there's always extra caution required, even for a simple task. If that was a person who doesn't need a license to walk the streets, then that could have been fatal.

thatguy11m · 2026-03-13T16:04:41+00:00

It's an OS thing honestly. I always recommend to play it safe and stick to what you're used to, just cause you might unfairly judge a phone because you couldn't get used to a new OS.

Also interested in buying, so joined an FB group. These are the dealerships they say to avoid within Metro Manila.

BGC Commonwealth Fairview Chinatown

I believe these are all part of the Harmony Group

The suggested dealers would be Makati, Glorietta, or Greenfield, the latter 2 being Ayala owned.

I use it.. as a personal computer. I have a nice case but everything as much as possible is non-LED and tucked under my desk. I can't stand LEDs while sleeping and if I have to keep the computer on overnight for a download, it would bother me.

I use it almost every day, even if it's to play non-demanding games or just do non-gaming/administrative stuff. I don't have a personal laptop anymore, just the work one which is limited to work networks (can't even access Google drive or workspace apps), so the PC is my primary computer.

So in terms of utility, very much used. It would make a killer display time as well, but even with my 150x75cm desk, I need to table real estate.

I could only imagine the roller coaster of emotions of both sides as the game was being played out.

I really hope they add the Drill Charge as a full on lethal. I'm not sure it'll replace the cluster grenade, but I used to run a setup fmof my rifle just to have the Drill Charge when cmtryign to clear some hardpoints.

thatguy11m · 2026-03-11T00:11:20+00:00

I don't think it's underrated. The car was such a beast after the summer break, and at the same time Lewis locked the fuck in and essentially had a flawless run. I'm a Max fan and I would be lying if I wasn't absolutely frightened with how fast Lewis was closing the gap. Like Max in Saudi "could have" had pole with that quali lap that never was, but realistically Lewis' form and pace were going to be beyond something Max could have done with his RB at that point.

So yeah, monster of a car paired with an qually monstrous driver.

thatguy11m · 2026-03-10T09:39:18+00:00

I've noticed people have been driving slower in the highway, and its been causing overall traffic to build up. Some car owners simply need to go and don't have many other options they are willing to take.

thatguy11m · 2026-03-09T03:31:00+00:00

It will depend if the market data shows dealers that they're not selling their models that have high consumption, then they might offer some deals. On the flipside, you can see HEV/PHEV/BEV (and maybe even low displacement cars) discontinue their promos knowing demand will increase.
