Instant bootup
www.youtube.com/watch?v=nABtTMVq8ow That is not instant, and all other EVs have that stupid start button asking an extra step.
remote keyless control
I’m not talking about controlling remotely via a fob or app, I’m saying if I can have nothing in my pockets besides my phone, have the car unlock automatically, and I can get in and instantly drive, all that happening in less than 3 seconds.
- Comment on Tesla’s in its flop era 6 months ago:
I love mine. Which BEV lets me have seamless phone key and instant bootup, letting me walk up and get into the car and drive away immediately? I also have my heat/cooling and heated seats on auto and love not having to fiddle with knobs. If another car maker can catch up to them I’d switch but I don’t see it happening soon.
My hood isn’t perfectly flush with the front on one half of the front though, and the FM radio reception is pretty bad, so I do have some complaints.
- Comment on I've noticed my boomer parents using Instagram and tik tok. I can't tell you how excited I am for them to kill those platforms like they did facebook. 8 months ago:
As a 34 year old, my wider circle already killed Instagram. They post memes, news videos, and in some stories - a picture with million words on them. There already is a social media platform for this. Know what? FACEBOOK. If you’re going to use Instagram like Facebook, just use Facebook. I wish Instagram would go back to being used for just photo/short video updates and that’s it.
Took a nice photo of your pet? Instagram. Recorded a clip on your XSX/PS5 and want to share? Facebook. Made a short video montage of clips of your recent road trip? Instagram. Took a video of your cousin’s graduation? The video is 5+ minutes so Facebook.
I miss the intent of Instagram. There is a mood I’m in to want to see a ton of crap, and when I’m in that mood, I’d use Facebook to dig through all the updates. I liked Instagram for its simplicity. Been using Instagram since I first got my iPod Touch 4, and many of my friends in college used it as I wrote above. The same people no longer do it.
- Comment on Why is living with your parents considered a bad thing? 9 months ago:
I’d be really curious to know what happens to you between your early 20s and your late 30s
As some people said in this thread, it’s hard to get a job that pays well out of college. You’re supposed to be using the help of living at home to work towards getting an actual career so that you can afford to move out by/around 30. If you are in a difficult financial situation in your 20s and you instead spend them spending your money freely and frivolously without bettering yourself, you’d be rightfully seen as “lazy”.
I graduated with a degree that didn’t work out in the path I originally saw for myself. I moved back in with my parents at age 22, and spent my 20s:
- Working whatever desk job I could
- Saving as much as possible
- Teaching myself programming at night
I would not have had been able to do the 2nd and 3rd things unless I was living at home, because I’d be putting all my small pay towards rent and living expenses, and also probably be too tired to learn a new career as 1 entry level job is not enough and I’d probably be working more hours or a 2nd job to make ends meet. At the same time, if I was not doing those things while at home, I’m wasting an opportunity and my privileged position (not everyone can move back), and would see myself as lazy. In my 30s, I have an actual career and had put myself in a good financial situation thanks to that opportunity of being able to move back in.

??? I rented a pickup no issue from Home Depot. What restrictions did you see?

Any suggestions? Which do you use?

- Comment on Does anyone drink instant coffee anymore? 1 year ago:
I just brew in my French press after dinner, pour some into a thermos after it’s done, and store the rest in my French press in my fridge. The next day, I pour more into my thermos. I feel even old coffee tastes better than instant, but I understand that’s my opinion.
- Comment on T-Mobile switches users to pricier plans and tells them it’s not a price hike 1 year ago:
Right I’m saying does the prepaid T-Mobile plan count as an MVNO? If it’s directly from them vs a separate company like Mint
- Comment on T-Mobile switches users to pricier plans and tells them it’s not a price hike 1 year ago:
I’ve never had any issues with the Tmobile prepaid plan in either NYC nor north NJ, although I’m not sure if the prepaid plans have the same lowered priority as Mint, for example.
- Comment on T-Mobile switches users to pricier plans and tells them it’s not a price hike 1 year ago:
Switch to their prepaid plans! My wife and I pay $15 each for 3.5GB each, and if one/both of you uses TikTok/Reels then the 6.5GB plan is $10 more. For us, can’t ever beat $30 and we get foreign SIMs when we travel.
- Comment on If you resold Taylor Swift Eras Tour tickets, the IRS is watching — A new rule from the IRS is punishing those who resold tickets for more than $600 in profit with a tax penalty 1 year ago:
I get by for 2 people on $50 per week in NJ near NYC by:
- Shopping at Aldi
- Going vegetarian unless eating out (rarely). Must is very expensive, but many of my favorite produce is not much more expensive than before inflation started. We switched to egg whites from Costco instead of paying crazy prices for a dozen whole eggs.
- Learning how to cook healthy. Spinach, red onions, tomatoes, bagged legumes, whole wheat pasta are all dirt cheap
