- Comment on Arizona toddler rescued after getting trapped in a Tesla with a dead battery | The Model Y’s 12-volt battery, which powers things like the doors and windows, died 1 week ago:
They have one on the inside but not the outside. That’s why the mom couldn’t get into the vehicle or the firefighters and they had to take an axe to the window. How are you supposed to pop the hood to jump start your car if the battery is dead and you can’t get in the car because the battery is dead? It’s just a stupid design to not have a manual override.

Sure you’d think you wouldn’t need regulations that state that there should be a manual way to open your car door. Have we gotten that stupid? Why in god’s name would you not have that option? What happens if the battery dies and you can’t start the car? You can’t open the door to pop the hood to even jump it. With all the brilliant people that work at a company like Tesla and no one thought there should be a way to open the door from the outside if there’s no power?
- Comment on Prime Video subs will soon see ads for Amazon products when they hit pause 1 month ago:
Yeah I’ve actually been happy with the clothes I’ve gotten from Target too. Their All In Motion line or whatever it is has been nice for quarterzips for golfing. Found 32 degrees stuff at Costco and their website has all the basics I need (Polos/Casual slacks/underwear/socks) for cheap and its comfortable.
- Comment on Prime Video subs will soon see ads for Amazon products when they hit pause 1 month ago:
I’ve ended up shifting a lot of stuff back to brick and mortar just because Amazon can’t be trusted on anything that isn’t a brand you already know. I was looking for gym shorts with the sewn in compression shorts and all of it was just the exact same image under many stupid brands. Just a quick glance the same image is being used by Leidowei, Surenow, NELEUS, Ultra Performance, Aolesy, JWJ, Born Tough, Pudolla. Like how can you trust any of those? Went to Dicks and just bought their in store brand (DSG) and they’ve been working out great. Plus I can actually inspect them and try them on before buying. Unless you’re buying a known brand/commodity, Amazon is just filled with drop shippers and you can’t trust their reviews at all.
- Comment on Hyundai pauses X ads over pro-Nazi content on the platform 2 months ago:
Yes. They have some flaws. I’m willing to admit that but to say they’re shitty when they have fewer problems than pretty much any American built vehicle is being disingenuous. Saying one experience doesn’t make a rule and then following that up with anecdotal evidence from a couple people you know as proof is also disingenuous. I’m not saying they make the best vehicles on the road. I’d probably give that notch to Toyota. My point isn’t to say that they’re the best manufacturer out there but to call them shitty isn’t being honest. They have far fewer problems than their American made counterparts. Toyota and Honda are going to be better options but to say Hyundai are shitty is not accurate.
- Comment on Hyundai pauses X ads over pro-Nazi content on the platform 2 months ago:
Yeah, to call them shitty is disingenuous. They’re a solid brand at an affordable price which makes them pretty darn good for most Americans. And they still refused to actually point to any actual data about them being a bad brand. Just said JD Power is bad.
- Comment on Hyundai pauses X ads over pro-Nazi content on the platform 2 months ago:
Okay. Well looking at brand reliability numbers from JD Power, they’re 8th. (Genesis which is their premium line is 2nd).

Where’s your data to back up your meaningless claims?
- Comment on Hyundai pauses X ads over pro-Nazi content on the platform 2 months ago:
Have clearly never owned a Hyundai. My mom had a cheapo Hyundai Accent that she drove until it hit 300k miles. She only upgraded because she got tired of manual transmission, hand crank windows, and no power locks.
- Comment on Microsoft now pops up a poll asking why you'd want to use another browser when you download Chrome 8 months ago:
I’ve never really needed to have many tabs open so I don’t really understand that struggle. I might have it more with my new job in commercial lending where our loan origination system is a web based app so maybe I’ll need to have a lot more tabs open for that. If so, I could see myself switching to vertical tabs but I’ve just never had a need to have more than like 10 open at a time and that’s usually only when I’m shopping around and comparing products/reviews.
- Comment on Microsoft now pops up a poll asking why you'd want to use another browser when you download Chrome 8 months ago:
I never really got into vertical tabs at all. Although I never have that many tabs open that I really need that space efficiency. I can never understand how people have more than like 8 tabs open.
- Comment on Microsoft now pops up a poll asking why you'd want to use another browser when you download Chrome 8 months ago:
Yeah, they’re really struggling to get their reputation back after letting IE drag it down. I honestly never really used Edge until I started my new job last month. The system is locked to Chrome or Edge and I decided to give Edge a try since it would actually let me enable dark mode where Chrome is locked by system administrators for themes. It’s actually a good browser. I just never trusted it because it was a MS browser. But I prefer Firefox to all of them but that’s just a personal preference.
- Comment on Twitter is throttling traffic to websites Elon dislikes 10 months ago:
The problem is that there isn’t a great replacement for it now. The same with reddit. I’m on here and I’m on Bluesky. The main uses I have for both Reddit and Twitter/X is sports news and discourse. Reddit for the discourse and Twitter for the news. There aren’t the communities here to have that. I want to talk Orioles baseball but the Orioles community here literally has zero comments other than bot comments updating scoring updates/pitching changes during the game threads. I’m trying to do my part and comment/post stuff to them but without any actual responses or conversation it feels like yelling into the wind.
- Comment on Would you work for a corporation that you oppose ideologically, if the pay is good? 10 months ago:
I have worked for the last 6.5 years at a faith based credit union despite being an atheist. All of our meetings start with a prayer. They have been good up until recently where we’ve done more and more investment real estate lending and that doesn’t sit well with me with our housing crisis in the US. Have a 3rd interview with a regional bank to move to more C&I and CRE loans instead of single family homes. I know they are still involved in it but I’m not going to be the one writing loans on investment properties. They also do a lot of affordable housing lending and community reinvestment in distressed areas.

Old Spice makes a bald care wash. I really enjoy it. Exfoliates nicely, smells really good, and moisturizes.
