The Cybertruck Is a Disappointment Even to Cybertruck Superfans / Looking at the specs alone, the car is delivering 30 percent less range than expected for 30 percent more money

    I got a 2023 Hyundai Elantra Limited earlier this year and I actually love what they've done with it. It looks so sleek to me, especially in black.

    I didn't care for previous iterations of the Elantra. Dont get me wrong - they weren't ugly. They just looked like standard car. Not bad just kinda bland. The newer style has personality, stands out much more and in a good way in my opinion.

    Can also confirm that a pretty big one happened before Trump: the one that happened in Brooks, KY in 2007.

    The whole area smelled funky for a couple years after the derailment... And was also CSX.

    I mean with a sandwich you have to go to the grocery story select the individual sandwich components, bring them home, put them away, put said components together to form the sandwich.

    If you get the soylent in bottles it's just a subscribe to have them delivered to your door, put in fridge (or don't but I personally think they're better cold), grab a bottle out of fridge.

  • Tell me about your cockroach horror story
  • snippyfulcrum snippyfulcrum 11mo ago 100%

    I used to work for a computer repair place long, long ago and I was on the laptop repair line.

    I went to unscrew a laptop but for some reason my screwdriver wasn't catching the screw... a coworker took the screwdriver and put more force into and there was sickening crunch that wasn't hardware...

    He removed the screw along with an impaled dead baby cockroach...

    But this isn't the end. Oh no.

    When that screw came out with its buddy they had friends.

    A lot of friends.

    Flooding out of that tiny screwhole like something from a god damn horror movie.

    We bagged that up and sent it back to the customer. It did not get repaired that day to say the least.

  • A pack mule
  • snippyfulcrum snippyfulcrum 12mo ago 100%

    In my opinion and experience with my boy Takeo, not any more difficult than any other dog.

    Puppy phase was hell but...well, puppies are always going to be a handful until they learn not to chew things and such.

    They're definitely not an off-leash breed though - they are notorious runners.

    I know a lot of people claim them to be high strung but my boy isn't at all. Not sure if I just got lucky and my boy is a rare Chill Shibe or if people exaggerate their temperament. He's a lot easier for me to deal with than our german shepherd, whom I love dearly but her energy level overwhelms me at times.

    My shiba on the other hand is almost just like a cat in a dog's body. He spends a lot of time napping, sometimes just likes to do his own thing, still comes to me for attention when he wants it and is usually happy to just lay on my lap and nap the day away.

    I'd get another shiba if I could in a heartbeat LOL

    An Auto Loan Debt Crisis Looks Imminent
  • snippyfulcrum snippyfulcrum 12mo ago 100%

    I got a 2023 Hyundai Elantra Limited with all the options for $27,000 earlier this year and that was brand new. The standard/base Elantra was several thousand less. There was another model below the Elantra for even less. I also didn't haggle and took the price as marked, so who knows. Perhaps someone more charismatic than myself could have done better on it.

    I still over paid, don't get me wrong. The same car with all the features before Covid would have probably been around $22-23k.

    I think this is very much an 'each to their own' thing.

    I have a Loth Cat from Star Wars on my arm I got at Star Wars Celebration 2019 and so I get warm fuzziness and memories of that time when I see it there. It was a fun experience I got to have with my family... and a very cute little critter too.

    Admittedly I've been asked many times if it was a Pokémon LOL

    ...It really does. Especially with the amount of word play Gintama uses frequently (Kanji play in this case? Not sure if it's a 'they just look similar written down' thing or actually a verbal play too. I won't pretend to know the word for hemorrhoids in Japanese LMAO)

    Man, I miss Gintama.

    Mushrooms, mushrooms everywhere!

    We get a fair amount in our yard from time to time - I think due to the old stump that used to be there. It's mostly gone now.

    These have just been the biggest ones I've seen so far not to mention they were a decent way away from the stump so they stood out to me.

    I'll give that a try! I've never taken a spore print before.

    Is there any way to preserve a spore print once you have one on paper? I feel like that could look pretty neat to make the spore print, write down the ID, date and location it was found for a neat sort of artwork/learning tool.

    Did you guys get a jarring message on your phone?
  • snippyfulcrum snippyfulcrum 1y ago 100%

    A lot of people also have two phones due to less dire circumstances than those listed here or criminal related things - like people with work phones.

    When there's an alert (usually Amber alerts) late at night having four cell phones screeching and awakening you from the depths of sleep is panic inducing. My husband and I both have personal phones and work phones and it's jarring to say the least when they all go off at once.

  • Got any grapes?
  • snippyfulcrum snippyfulcrum 1y ago 100%

    Not 100% true.

    I never finished college and have a pretty nice IT job now.

    Admittedly I had a lot of shit jobs before by some luck one of those places I worked at for a couple years had an IT opening. I applied and had somewhat of a reputation for helping out the less technically savvy peeps on my line, went to the interview, answered their questions and got my foot in the door for experience.

    It wasn't a great paying position but eventually I was able to move elsewhere and a couple jobs later I found myself making decent money, better money than some I know that do have college degrees.

  • Yes, Phantom Liberty and patch 2.0 really are Cyberpunk 2077's 'last big updates' and it's finally time to start the sequel, director confirms
  • snippyfulcrum snippyfulcrum 1y ago 100%

    Honestly part of the benefit of early access is the diverse hardware and diverse playstyles being tested. I'm sure part of BG3's success was due to them taking feedback and bug reports from the early access players that submitted things and implementing the fixes and changes based on customer feedback. It definitely gives unique insight for the developers while the game is still being made.
