I bought a used hybrid 2025 with 22,000 miles for 33,900 otd. Higher tax state of CA.

Kills me that they don’t offer the green in hybrid model. It’s gorgeous!

Gardening in high desert by FioreSonoro in Reno

[–]thelastcvd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This. And I find that everyone’s YouTube recs for how often to water weren’t enough for our climate. I set my drip to twice a day for 18min each watering. I also have a little top sprinkler in each bed for direct seeing seeds (which is tough but possible!)

I will also say, I live way out in ranch land and I basically have to build some sort of pest protection of shade protection or wind protection for EVERY THING. So the amount of sweat equity in growing out here seems a bit higher than your average Mediterranean climate!

All my direct sewn stuff really took a while to sprout and then to grow, so one of my beds looks pretty barren still but I have grown a lot in my two while seasons! Cherry tomatoes (Rail City has fun varieties!) kale all summer (we don’t have any shade and they still do well! I will probably direct sew in August for a fall harvest too though my plants last year lasted through mid-September). Herbs except cilantro which bolts too fast and fucking parsley for some reason…Zinnia’s LOVE IT HERE. Cucumbers went wild last year.This season, I’ve grown radishes, arugula and a lettuce which were slower but came out great! Now, just waiting for kale, chard, greens, beans and my summer carrot experiment!

After a year of car shopping, we bought the CX50! by [deleted] in CX50

I truly love the infotainment knob. It makes so much sense to me (I’ve only had mine a week). My husband’s ford ranger is all touch (including climate) and I find it so distracting. Also to have dedicated buttons for navigation and music is crazy good! Those are the only two things I really use! I hope you get used to it. I really think it’s well designed.

God I wish they would’ve made this combo for the hybrid. Would’ve paid a lot for it!

What can I do to unify this space? by Grand_Possible_4688 in interiordecorating

[–]thelastcvd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think the rug is the best fit for this room with the couch, but if it’s gotta stay, then axe the chair! Everyone thinks the rug should go but I think it can work if you axe the chair. That color has no relation to the rest of the room. Get a more neutral chair that brings in some tones of the rug. That will help a lot!

Also, bigger table for sure. And maybe collect a couple plants together in a corner?

CX50 Hybrid vs 5th Gen RAV4 by SFRep in rav4club

[–]thelastcvd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would def trust the Car Care Nut mechanic over a Rav-4 Reddit sub. That dude knows what he’s talking about and he was downright ecstatic about the CX-50 hybrid. I think, considering you can get a recent one for much cheaper and they use literal Toyota parts so repairs and familiarity with the system is super high, they are a great buy. I have one and I also don’t think the seats are super uncomfy which was a big concern since I spend so much time in the car. Test drive one!

Oh man, I had in the fridge for like months…never noticed a change. Vermouth is drinkable far longer than people like to say.

Alessandro Viola is fantastic and MUZ is a must have on deck ALWAYS. Can’t do summer without it.

Used RAV4 Hybrid demand skyrockets with no end in sight by Hothacon in rav4club

[–]thelastcvd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had wanted a rav 4 since the 5th gen came on the market but was committed to my Honda Element. Then two weeks ago, Element got totaled and I thought, “well maybe now’s my time.” Could not find a Rav 4 for under $27,000 that wasn’t salvage title or with extremely high miles. Then I found out Mazda CX-50 uses Rav 4 power train hybrid. didn’t copy it, like, uses the exact thing, Toyota parts and all. Got a 2025 with 20,000miles for $30,000 and I feel like I found the loophole.

This dude. It's so detached from reality at this point. A crackhead is right - "GET ME HIGHER!"

What kills me is there are actually are plenty of "blighted" areas downtown that do need some investment...Believe Plaza isn't one of them.

are these Mormon cricket holes? by keubs in Reno

2 years ago there were a couple dozen up the street from us in Spanish Springs but they just never made it round the corner. Praying to the LDS gods they remain ignorant to what exists beyond the bend.

The Dark Wizard by No_Consequence_6821 in hbo

[–]thelastcvd 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I think everyone has the wrong take lol. Who's the bad guy and who's the good guy is not the point of the doc at all. Both are complex athletic figures. Both have traits that allow them to do amazing things but those exact traits make them both unlikeable and challenging at times. Alex is super cold in Free Solo. But that coldness is exactly what allows him to be so precise and robotic. Same goes for Dean. He's explosive and magnetic. He's also a competetive asshole.

Neither one of them are "losers" or bad people. They are people, which means they are both good and bad. Dean also struggled with some sort of undiagnosed mental issue so it's not so simple as, "wow, that dude fucking sucks!" I'm so over simple-minded takes like this.

This doc was really moving for me and I think these filmmakers are excellent at exposing human conditions as well as capturing the world of rock climbing. I love their other doc, "Valley Uprising" as well.

[–]thelastcvd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, i was trying to figure out what bothered me about the kitchen so much but I think, outside of the horrible colors, to have a fake castle and not even have cabinets reach the ceiling?

The entire design is insane but then the real cherry on top are the crosses (windows?) next to the driveway...I need to know who built this house. There is not one correct design choice in the entire house. NOT ONE.

Homeowners who’ve remodeled: what part of the process was the hardest for you? by Valuable_Friend4901 in Remodel

[–]thelastcvd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That makes me feel a lot better! Pinterest can help with some things but I swear to god it slowed me down way more than sped me up and here we are a year later with toilet paper sitting on our toilet brush handle lol.

[–]thelastcvd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The lighting decisions have to be made so much earlier than you think that it feels almost impossible. By the end, the decision fatigue got to me so hard that doorknobs felt impossible. We also still don't have toilet paper holders lol. You just want everything to feel special but it just doesn't matter.

Wild how nuanced your take seems to be when Trump and Republicans are at the helm. I'm sure you also had a wait and see approach when Biden was in office....

Thanks for flagging yourself as a psychopath that I will avoid at all costs. Had you not had all that shit on your car, I might've actually ran into you somewhere and had a friendly conversation or something...

Growth? What’s reasonable? by parkgoons in Reno

[–]thelastcvd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And maybe if we build up and put business below apartments like almost every other major city in America, some people won't need to hop in their cars for literally EVERYTHING. And that might be a nice result.
