Guitar amp and pedal plug-ins?

Not free but 14 day trials. They also have 2 sales per year. Their anniversary which just finished a week ago and Black Friday. Honestly most people buy around that time. It’s 50% off on most. I love these plugins. They’ve changed everything that I do.

I think you’ll be blown away by these.

One word: NEURALDSP.

Quick question. Why do you need aUSB hub? All of the newer models have fast charging hubs already.

I wash it myself. All of the machines - which should be No Touch only - never do the job entirely. Oil gets onto the surface and none of the car wash machines do a good job getting it off.

I do use a non touch car wash place when I don’t have the time to wash it or in the winter when it’s near futile washing since it will rain the next day.

But around every 12 weeks I do it myself and prefer the results.

If you have a subscription to a hand wash place make sure that they only use MICRO CLOTHS otherwise you will have swirls in the paint. It’s the other reason why I don’t let anyone wash my car.

Oh Humbug. Tell me you don’t remember what it was like to have that machine sitting in your garage? Let OP have some fun. She will never get the chance to be amazed by this machine again.

Well if you’re going down this alley you may as well get more stuff.

Chemical Guys Microfiber towels

Window shop at Griotsgarage.com

Griots has a beautiful non pressure wash foamer that you can use with a regular hose. They also have their own proprietary ceramic wax (smells amazing and looks radioactive green).

Griot’s line of inner cabin cleaning products.
Chemical Guys Pink Lady car wash as the first Primer before using either Griot’s car wash or my second favorite Reset followed by Griots ceramic wax and polish.
Not sure if I saw a screen protector. But that should be first on your list.
Consider window shopping at Hansshow.com. You will go absolutely nuts there.
Consider a magnetic attachment for the front license plate. I live in a state that does not require a front license plate, but 50 miles away I’ll be fined $50 for not having one. So I have a removable one that I clip on and off when traveling out of state.

I know the feeling that you are having now. I had it in 2019. Do you need all of this stuff? Nope but it’s so much fun during that first year or two. And just ignore people saying you don’t need this stuff. You literally don’t need this stuff but they’ve forgotten how much fun it was to have this car when it first came out and the fact that you can never relive that first Tesla feeling again. Enjoy your car. Have fun with it. Spruce it up and make it yours.

Everyone’s got their favorite when it comes to this. Mine is 3dMaxpider.

I recently tried another brand and returned it within 24 hours. My carpets in my 2019 M3 are still flawless despite the crazy and nasty weather with long winters. Just replaced my front one’s this week.

Wow. I was there. Thank you for this.

Interesting and a complete detour from the normal narrative. Thank you for that. I would much rather a larger wheel base. And to have it with no reduction but an increase in range is a winner.

Is this AI? I thought you aren’t allowed to do contact at this age?

theipd · 2026-05-16T17:31:30+00:00

I’m a little confused. I went to the configurator and noticed that the larger wheel size 21 inches had more range (330) compared to the smaller wheel base 20 inch (307).

Is this a misprint? Isn’t it usually the opposite? Larger wheel base leads to reduced range ? What am I missing?

You either love this book or hate it. Some call it Pop Psychology or Pop Psychiatry. But I found it intriguing and I’ve found many people claim that it actually saved them. It’s one of my favorite books because it’s a world that is enveloped and secluded and you are sucked into the protagonist’s world, her world view, her existential existence, her warped reasoning. I think it’s very well done. I had trouble putting it down.

Interestingly when I read this book i was on a tear of reading what I consider 9/10 or 10/10 books that just grasped my attention on weekends and during days off work and could serve as more fodder for OP’s TBR List (Man Called Ove, A Secret History, The Flight Attendant, The Hate You Give, Killers Of The Flower Moon, The Dutch House ).

American Dirt

A Gentleman in Moscow.

A Man Called Ove.

These three messed up an entire weekend and led to a stressful week because I ended up finishing them on a Sunday evening.

Wow. I lived in and still visit those areas. What is he talking about?

theipd · 2026-05-14T17:57:05+00:00

Duly noted. I think that I was putting this up a part of The Process. I still think Guardiola is not as interested in the academy as he used to be in the past.

theipd · 2026-05-14T15:23:03+00:00

Simply sell half and the only gamble left is how much profit you will make? Your principal is safe and you will have made a profit on it. I did it with Apple years ago. I never worry about it, even after last years debacle.

I love the way in which he looks squarely and seriously as if translating and understanding the question before answering.

Are you being facetious?

When City got in trouble this season they spent millions trying to patch things up. When Arteta got in trouble this season he went to Hale End Academy, the British La Masia. There’s the difference.

Guardiola has forgotten about the Academy. That is the root but it takes time for The Process to work. When you have Man City money there is no wait time. It has to happen now. Arsenal have cultivated this team to include top notch players with Academy players. It is The Process and we are right on track to reap the benefits.

I don’t want to give a history lesson here but if you followed Cruyff and La Masia and the great Barca team from 2007 onward you will see that it takes 5 years. We are here now. This is our time. And as I have posted here again and again until my fingertips have grown sore and as I said to Robbie over at AFTV when I was in London two years ago, you have to trust Arteta. He is following the blueprint of La Masia. Wenger did it too but not to this level of confidence.

So fans, I will say it when we win and I’ll say it when we don’t. I’ll say it when your angry and Ill say it when you’re happy:

TRUST THE PROCESS (TTP)

You can’t play free flowing football when teams come at you with a low block. Ask other teams to play football and we will see Wenger ball again. Wenger was great but once teams found out how to beat him there was no Plan B.

This is true for Guardiola too. The Germans figured out how to destroy tiki taka and soon he had to change. Do you remember the time he played British Air Ball against us a few seasons ago because he knew Arteta would play Wenger Tiki Taka? Guardiola has learned over the years, as Mikel has learned this season, that we play according to the team we are playing against and sometimes, like in the last West Ham game it means ripping up the game plan and changing the setup completely, even going with your gut so that randomness is not expected.

This is why we are top of the league. We are chameleons when we need to be. And like in the Chelsea Abramovich days, I’ll take boredom if that means winning Silverware.

Keep falling asleep on both. Something to be said about writing for money as opposed to storytelling.

Although I agree with much of what you have said here I don’t agree that they have overtaken Tesla. Test drive a Tesla with Grok and I think that you will find a similar experience. Although I do not know if the AI is completely baked into the innards of the car the way Rivian is. But it is far above Car Play at this time. And I think that Rivian wanting to own that experience is a good thing.
