My first car was a 2000 Legacy GT (they were non-turbo in the US then). I paid $5,500 for it. In 2008.

As someone who owns a Lexus with the same system, it’s actually the best infotainment system out of all the ones I drove last fall while cross shopping.  The whole thing can be Android Auto/Apple CarPlay and it’s glorious.

My Podcast app of choice is a must have for use in the car - the lack of CarPlay and a real display behind the wheel are the two reasons I won’t consider a Model 3 (and why I canceled my pre-order ages ago).

I was just pinged by my dealer about my pending reservation for a Solterra, which I will be dropping when they reach out directly for two main reasons:

I just saw that my [sorta] local dealer got their first 4 cars in this weekend; all of which were already claimed. Seems more of a production issue than anything.

I actually own a ‘07 SpecB; though mine is just under 90k miles.  I’d easily pay that to get my car back in a heart beat.

Had my first ever interaction with Carmax this past weekend; my wife bought her 2013 Chevy Malibu with them 5 years ago for $13000 and on Saturday sold it back to them for just under $9k (plus a few extra dents and dings, and an ABS light). Was quite a steal having owned the car for like $1k a year; and they offered…

I saw Jumanji last night; quite liked it.  I’ll eventually make my way to Star Wars, maybe when the crowds thin out.

You can pair a PS4 or Xbox One controller if you’d like.

This is why I make a concerted effort to wait until we’re in the car to talk about movies.

They removed Airplay a few months ago for the iOS versions. I canceled the plan a week later myself in disgust over the openly user hostile move.

Having seen the film; I think you’ll be pleased (if you haven’t seen it yet).

Within the first five minutes of the film they start going over some of this (particularly the ‘homes’ bit). Not to great depth; but it does get mentioned (mostly for laughs).

Good lord the proportions on the old Secret Keeper are just awful - hadn’t noticed before now.

Hoping for online multiplayer support; but I doubt it.  *sigh*

For someone who took notes, you got an amazing bit about the movie you just saw wrong.

The last attempt to update copyright law failed; and it looks like there is no drive from anyone to extended it anymore -- it will run out in 2024:  https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2019/01/a-whole-years-worth-of-works-just-fell-into-the-public-domain/

At this point I kinda of wish Paramount would just run a kickstarter - I’d pay $500 now for HD DS9 over the next 4-5 years (season by season).

It feels like the entire reason this is on Steam and not the Win 10 store is so that those who bought it digitally for Xbox have to rebuy it and don’t “get it for free” with cross play.  :|

I honestly don’t feel like the Prime Directive applies in this case - the species is on a planet that has another warp capable species and they themselves seem to know about space travel and such. Same as how I don’t think it applied to the folks on New Eden either to be honest…
