“She was seething at the idea of changing the lifestyle to which she felt entitled.”

I understand what you’re saying, and I agree that people would be really upset if Google Maps automatically took up that much space, but I would think they could store it in a sort of “hidden,” auto-deleting cache, removing it seamlessly if the phone ever asked for more space. Sort of like how “Deleting” data on a…

“Crashhole”

Once you toggle the switch, yes, but it’s still not 100% automatic. But I see that they’re moving in the right direction. Sorry for not being clearer about automatic caching vs. user-confirmed.

Shouldn’t the maps automatically cache that, though? I’m not saying it does, but it seems like it would be smart to code in something like “If user frequency travels this route, cache data for it” without prompting me to download it myself.

YES. I keep getting notifications to download my Work or Home locations, but given that I commute daily and haven’t gotten lost yet, it seems a bit of a waste. But if they could integrate it with Google Now, Gmail and knowing where I’m traveling soon, that would be amazingly useful.

As hepfulTom63 helpfully said, Best Buy may price match it. Or you can return it there, I believe they give a 15-day window. $50 isn’t something to just let go.

I’m curious to how this applies to adornments, like shutters, window/door frames and doors themselves. I assume those have less of an impact, but do they still affect it, or do people just shrug that off as a negligible expense to replace with their preferred color?

But don’t assume “the size of a car’s infotainment screen” = how “advanced” it is.

Millenial here. Personal take on Neutral:

Why not both? A gas tax for emissions, a miles-driven tax for preparing road wear, because even though a Tesla driving down the road might not pollute much, it does slowly add to the degradation of the roads.

She was just trying to make her Lincoln into a kidney-grilled BMW.

Ask him to come up with a new response and he’ll tell you that you’d have to shoot him first.

I lovingly care for the BMW X1 my parents gifted to me because it was the best option for me...but man do I want to park next to you and door-ding the hell out of your car.

It might be worth looking into TreasuryDirect, if the CD offerings you find are too low (My bank offers 0.06% APY for 3 months, $500 minimum). I get 4x-5x the interest rate my bank is offering by taking Treasury Bills, with a minimum length of deposit being only 4 weeks and minimum investment of $100.

Personal opinion, and not necessarily just about Street Fighter but as something that applies to all games: If the way your game works causes people to rage-quit, maybe you need to work on the game’s designs, not shame others.

Necessary link when talking about buying this car:

Assuming you have a steady income, sure.

100% agree with you here, and especially on the first point. I’ve realized that there are really very few things that I’ll really regret not buying, but plenty of things I would end up regretting if I bought them. Usually you just learn to live without it, and you’re fine in the end.

This. I came here to comment exactly this. “Young People Are Bad With Money” only holds true if you’re correcting for average incomes in those groups, for example comparing young adults who make $50k a year to older adults who make $50k a year. This article basically says “Look at how people who make relatively little…
