Your part about the suspension just clicked for me why it was bothering me so much. It was really more bumpy than I thought it would be, compared to what I normally drive. It was more like when I drove a mini cooper, tiny wheel bumpy ride.

But yeah, a slightly used but good car is probably my best bet right now, or just hang on one or two more years to see if there's a breakthrough in batteries or we get Chinese imports, basically.

Somewhat easier, yeah. I've got a 4yo girl now, and she has become very responsible. I still have to do a lot of work getting her to TK and stuff, but I have a lot more time and don't have to fully keep an eye on her because she knows to ask permission.

However, your mileage may vary. My 2yo is more like your 2yo and I'm not certain he'll be a responsible 4yo in two years. He's getting spoiled by his big sis, too.

But I'm not back to being like my childfree self yet, and that's a tough bar. I used to get to sleep until noon cause of my job; not so much now...

That was my thought, the Ionic 6 looks solid and more like my Ford Fusion Hybrid I've been driving for a decade.

Truth be told, dragon dancers still win so often against everyone else, but the bar is pretty low. Lol

I am on a retro fix lately and adore my Gen V Volcarona with Quiver Dance, but in that generation, my Ferrothorn saves me more often than not. Still, can't do competitive with those DS games though, lol.

Can confirm, but we wanted a challenge and it hasn't been that bad with just one app. We even had terrible luck and had to change plans and find another spot (diesel truck overturned, which is ironic when gas is the reason your EV trip got sidetracked lol).

I imagine having reliable charging at home and work makes it braindead.

I think my favorite is Nothing Bundt Cakes that sells Bundt cakes. It's a chain, and yes I only like it because of the pun.

To add, it's even worse if you know sweepers and how fast they can decimate your team; they usually have protection to one shot KO and decent speed.

Except there's perhaps a third bored looking Spongebob with the counter ready to go, as you should always be ready to counter a Swords Dance sweeper.

We rented an Ionic 5 for the weekend and I will be going back to gas because... uh, it's rented.

Real talk, though, we're trying to find a good EV because it is better. I don't particularly like the Ionic 5, but that's mostly a hatred for crossovers than anything; also the severe lack of clicky buttons and stuff like automatic mirror dimming that isn't working right. Ugh.

I just wish we had more options in the States, especially without the touch screen nonsense.

I don't have any apps that do this without my permission but I actually appreciate my KDE Connect pausing my computers music or videos when I get a phone call.

My wife got my sister a job, although she still had hoops to jump. I think that's probably B?

I can kind of understand the sitters, but the parked motorcycles are just wrong. (Also they really should have better dedicated places for people to sit, but c'est la vie as they say)

We got a second phone line explicitly for this purpose, lol.
