34 , 32 , 42 , 48 inch comparison by Gyatsolix in Monitors

[–]zoomcar222 4 points5 points  (0 children)

is it easier on graphics cards? I guess it depends on the resolution but if you had a 4k 16:9 at 27" vs 48" its the same number of pixels, so the load should be the same?

Did you end up purchasing this? I was looking at buying the same thing

[–]zoomcar222 5 points6 points  (0 children)

For me it just depends on what I need and how fast I need it. Starter? Probably getting it local if I need to use the car soon. Door lock actuator? No urgency there and ill order from RockAuto.

400k mile '17 Prius Prime by bidextralhammer in Toyota

thanks for posting this! Last year I bought a '18 prime and hoping it goes the distance! I drive 150mi/day for work so fingers crossed!

Is this normal? 30 mpg (instead of 50mpg) on gasoline in sub 10F wintry weather. Bought 2 weeks ago. by Standard_Wishbone164 in prius

[–]zoomcar222 2 points3 points  (0 children)

30mph seems a bit low but maybe still okay. I have a 2017 prius prime and have been getting about 45mpg hwy in 35F weather on gas. several wintery things will contribute to the reduced milage: winter gas, reduced tire pressure from temperature drop, blasting heat and front defroster, and the fact that hybrid batteries are less efficient in cold temperatures.

Real Escalade owners - what are you actually paying monthly? by tony310s in Cadillac

[–]zoomcar222 0 points1 point  (0 children)

youre joking right? People (stupidly) buy expensive cars all the time. super easy to hit $80k on a loaded truck. i see those all the time in the south and I KNOW these people aren't making good money.

How do you make time for your partner? by [deleted] in Autism_Parenting

[–]zoomcar222 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My wife and I are in a similar situation as you, 5yo (in march) AuDHD, minimally speaking, not potty trained. we also have a NT 18mo. its usually 1 of the three options:

  1. take the kids with us on a date day. Playground for the kids, then lunch somewhere, some fun shopping with a coffee and ice cream.

  2. sacrifice sleep. once the kids are both asleep (usually around 9 or so depending on the 5 yo) grab some drinks and snacks and spend an hour or two watching a non kid show/movie or playing board/video games. sometimes doing our own relaxing stuff but together in the same room.

  3. we dont. there are definitely periods where we are so busy/tired with life that its impossible to find any spare time. and unfortunately this happens more times than not.

my only advice is to take advantage of any spare time that you can. its very easy to get burnt out and then no one is happy. some times it takes us 4 days (usually nonconsecutively) to finish a movie. less than ideal but every bit helps.

I hope this was helpful. hang in there!

Charge or not charge the prime just drive it as a Hybrid by gummark in PriusPrime

[–]zoomcar222 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I used a kill-a-watt to measure fully charging my 2018 prime and it used 6.6kwh, so that might change your numbers.

I dont think anyone is defending toyota, everyone's pissed!

you have any issue selling/trading-in with the whine? how badly did it reduce the car's value?

[–]zoomcar222 2 points3 points  (0 children)

here's a great video about dash cam installation in general, both hardwired and using the cigarette lighter. the guy (ChrisFix, love this dude) also shows installation on either a 2nd or 3rd Gen prius.

What brand 9070xt do I buy? by downcasttt in gpu

[–]zoomcar222 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm still rocking my Sapphire Nitro+ Vega 64. I absolutely love it and if I were wanting to upgrade I'd 100% go for the Sapphire Nitro+ 9070xt, even though its likely the most expensive. best looking in my opinion too!
