  1. That whole day was a mess. He hit my car, hit another car who was turning, almost ran that driver over when she got out to try to get his information, then crashed his truck into a tree across the street. And just to top the entire mess off, he didn't have any insurance. You have no idea how much I hate the parking lot where I work. This happened on Saturday
  2. 2021 Ford EcoSport Titanium 4x4 It was time to get a new vehicle, as my 2018 Jetta really didn't suit our needs anymore. It's struggled badly in the winters here in Reno, and it's getting harder for my wife to get in due to her bad back. It also got damaged in an accident at work by a drunk moron who crashed into in three times (here's a picture of the damage: https://i.ibb.co/RYjdSjw/20240220-113544.jpg). After shopping around for a while, I narrowed it down to the EcoSport and the Kona, and ultimately decided on the EcoSport (the recent issues with Hyundai/Kia cars being stolen helped in that regard as well). I've had it for almost two weeks now and I'm super happy with it. I know the EcoSports kinda get crapped on (and some of it's justified, the models with the 1.0, 3 Cylinder engine are crap, mine doesn't have that engine), but it suits our needs perfectly. I'm not someone who wants all the bells and whistles in my car, I just want it to get me where I need to go without any issues. The EcoSport has enough modern features to make me happy, but it's still very basic (most things are controlled via buttons as opposed to the touchscreen, for example). We wanted a smaller 4x4 Crossover that will allow us to go up into the mountains (see the picture above, I wouldn't dream of taking my Jetta there due to how bad the road going in was), but didn't break the bank to much. My next goal is to get a tow-hitch installed so that I can put my bike carrier on it and actually be able to take my bike to some places I wasn't able to get to with my Jetta.
  3. No college My current laptop is a ThinkPad P52, which I just use for general computer usage.
  4. This is essentially what I do with ThinkPads. My current computer is a ThinkPad P52 that I bought last year, and it suits my needs perfectly. When I look to replace it, I'll probably look at something like a P15 Gen 1 or Gen 2. My previous computer before this one was a P50 that I bought back in 2020. I don't need the latest and greatest, as I really just use my computer for general computer usage, but I don't want a thin and light computer where everything is soldered in.
  5. I got my Ultra on Friday and so far, I'm super happy with it. I got it thru my carrier (T-Mobile), so I'm currently in the process of flashing it to the U1 image. I'm so glad it has a flat screen, as I've always hated the curved displays.
  6. Yes, but that's exactly how it is right now with the SMS/MMS fallback that Apple's messages app has. They did say they were going to work with Google and the GSMA to get encryption added to the base standard. I do think Apple will. They have more pull then Google does. Companies go out of their way to placate Apple.
  7. Well, it was good while it last, but Apple (not surprisingly), killed it. Apple killed Beeper Mini
  8. Another vote for the S23 Ultra. I love the hell out of mine.
  9. It was the cost of the prototype waterblock in the email Colton send (it's blurred out now).
  10. What type of Android phone do you have? If you have a Samsung phone, Samsung has their own called SmartTag, although I don't believe they work with non-Samsung Android phones. I have one that I keep in my backpack and I don't have any issues with it.
  11. Same here. I'll still use the site due to the information there, but I'm no longer posting there. Just get the information I need and then bounce.
  12. Backpack - Ogio Renegade RSS Items ThinkPad P52 laptop Galaxy Buds Pro2 Kindle Paperwhite Logitech MX Master 3s BaseUS 65w/30000mah battery bank Anxiety medicine Laptop X-Stand These are the big items. There's smaller stuff like a few USB cables and my mouse pad.
  13. I'm significantly scaling back my social media usage, really only planning to stay in a few forums that I never really left. All I really browsed on reddit was sports (mostly American football), tech, and video games. I have other places for those.
