  We’ve heard about some companies being charged 67x their previous years prices to renew. How is that not an unwarranted complaint?

  We’re looking at a 3 to 4x increase in price, and while that’s not horrible, that’s still a lot. We’re looking at alternatives, because at the end of the day, those prices are too high. And they’re not the only ones raising prices by exorbitant amounts.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What games do you replay regularly/annually ?⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Zelda 2.

  It’s divisive, but I like it. I have fond memories of playing that game with my dad when I was young. When we reached the great palace, I died so quickly that he once got up early and started playing at 5am to farm extra lives for me. I went into the palace with 26 extra lives.

  …I didn’t die at all on that run.

  I still play it about once per year. In fact, I just finished it again about a week ago. I want to play the remade fan game, I just haven’t had time to sit and get it setup.

  I can’t think of anyone I’d wish to die of cancer. I watched my father become a shell of a man while cancer took him, I wouldn’t wish that on anyone.

  Really, I wouldn’t wish anyone dead, but definitely not of cancer. What a horrible way to go.

  Fuck cancer.

  Well, I’m in the midwest US, so winter can be a bit harsh for walking or biking (though not this year thus far). Most of the time I drive, I’m dragging kids somewhere. It’s inconvenient to walk with them.

  I have been walking and or biking when it’s just me, and I don’t need to haul much. I’ve lost a lot of weight recently, so I can actually bike to work in the summer and not be a sweaty mess when I arrive, so that’s a nice change.

  We are taking about moving outside the city to have more space, which means not driving will become less possible for almost everything. Today I have groceries, dentist, and doctor within half a mile, and I’ve walked or biked to those places many times.

  Bottom line, most of the time I’m either dragging kids around or I’m in a rush. Driving is very convenient, and is hard to change.

  I’ve very seriously considered that. Right now, we could probably go down to one car without issue. We have two reasons why I’d like to maintain a second, though. We have young kids, and we are already starting to run them around to different places at the same time. We’re looking to move soon, and the idea is to move outside of town where we have more room. That would make basically every drive longer, which would increase the likelihood of needing a second vehicle.

  Either way, an EV should be fine. Depending on cost, I might stick with a small, used ICE this time, because I don’t need much. But I’m not at that point quite yet, so maybe things will change by the time I’m ready.

  I was among those worrying about range until I spent 5 minutes thinking about what I actually do on a daily/weekly/monthly basis.

  We’d still have my wife’s ICE van, we both work from home, and 99% of the time my work-related travel is local (within 5 miles). My wife’s van can pull the camper for our camping trips, or for our longer drives.

  I have no good reason not to get an EV for my next car.

  Better option, have a good contract in place.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are some neat things you carry around that come in handy?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Jumper cables should be in every car. I’ve only needed them for my own car once, but I’ve used them probably a dozen times for other people.

  I also carry a small extendable snow shovel and an extendable snow broom. A bag of sand or oil dry (or cat litter) for winter are a good idea as well, assuming you live anywhere that snows regularly.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New evidence confirms COVID-19 vaccines are overwhelmingly safe⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve had 5 shots of Moderna now, most recently last week. The first one made me feel miserable for a day. I was having chills, and my entire body was sore. I took several naps that day. The others made me sore and a little tired for a day.

  All told, not the worst side effects, but certainly more than a sore arm. And still entirely worth the mild inconvenience.

  I would call my first reaction nearly “unplayable.” I was having issues working (remotely even, a desk job), and I just wanted to sleep most of the day. But people react differently. Sounds like you had no issues, so good for you.
