Sounds about right.

You are correct. One caveat is that me having mobile internet does not mean the little café or wherever I might visit has a reliable online presence.

To piggy-back on that: Don’t be afraid to get a little lost.

I can be flexible, and it doesn’t help me to be antagonistic to my passengers.

Pack a paper map.

The one thing that will correct slightly is used car prices. They won’t come down to where they were, but they will come down as inventory increases. Or, more precisely, they will go back to depreciating at a normal rate.

Nice looking car. I think it’s NP for someone. Sadly, I’m disqualified because Miatas are ND for me at any price because I don’t fit. :-( Makes me jealous. Looks fun.

Amen on going down stairs. Usually not a problem, but when I’m having a particularly bad knee day, I can still take the steps up to my 3rd floor office, but I have to take the elevator back down. :-(

This is really good advice if the knee pain is based on inactivity, normal use, or maybe some osteoarthritis. Otherwise healthy joints will “rust out” before they wear out, generally speaking. Keep moving. Any amount helps. Join pain is often a muscle problem.

Most articles I’ve read surveying flight attendants say they would *never* drink the coffee or anything else on a plane that isn’t pre-packaged. Those machines are pretty much never cleaned.

Don’t forget the naturally occurring cyanide in the seeds.

Even if you skip the Fruit Gushers in place of an apple from the produce section, there’s a big chance that that apple has come into contact with a number of chemicals [including] groundwater,...

Ah, see: they never finish the implicit thought: “Mandate freedom [specifically for me and people like me (for my definition of “like me”) to do the things I want to do and/or agree people should be allowed to do].”

They price their cars right out of the market because theyre so obsessed with the cars ‘ring time’ when its being purchased by people that will never get close to a racetrack.

A portable, rechargeable battery booster is a great tool to have on hand.

Ubisoft … Does Not Understand Shit

I try Apple Maps every now and then, but the paths it gives me are comically wrong. They are often illegal or dangerous, and usually both. It is bad at its job. It’s looks aren’t the problem.

At the risk of igniting fiery debates with those who use a tablet as a primary device, I’m here to tell you that the second option isn’t ideal.

I haven’t seen them in Central TX. The ubiquitous geckos probably get them and/or fill that predatory niche.
