I got a 2023 Hyundai Elantra Limited earlier this year and I actually love what they’ve done with it. It looks so sleek to me, especially in black.

I didn’t care for previous iterations of the Elantra. Dont get me wrong - they weren’t ugly. They just looked like standard car. Not bad just kinda bland. The newer style has personality, stands out much more and in a good way in my opinion.

I used to work for a computer repair place long, long ago and I was on the laptop repair line.

I went to unscrew a laptop but for some reason my screwdriver wasn’t catching the screw… a coworker took the screwdriver and put more force into and there was sickening crunch that wasn’t hardware…

He removed the screw along with an impaled dead baby cockroach…

But this isn’t the end. Oh no.

When that screw came out with its buddy they had friends.

A lot of friends.

Flooding out of that tiny screwhole like something from a god damn horror movie.

We bagged that up and sent it back to the customer. It did not get repaired that day to say the least.

A lot of people also have two phones due to less dire circumstances than those listed here or criminal related things - like people with work phones.

When there’s an alert (usually Amber alerts) late at night having four cell phones screeching and awakening you from the depths of sleep is panic inducing. My husband and I both have personal phones and work phones and it’s jarring to say the least when they all go off at once.

Not 100% true.

I never finished college and have a pretty nice IT job now.

Admittedly I had a lot of shit jobs before by some luck one of those places I worked at for a couple years had an IT opening. I applied and had somewhat of a reputation for helping out the less technically savvy peeps on my line, went to the interview, answered their questions and got my foot in the door for experience.

It wasn’t a great paying position but eventually I was able to move elsewhere and a couple jobs later I found myself making decent money, better money than some I know that do have college degrees.

Honestly part of the benefit of early access is the diverse hardware and diverse playstyles being tested. I’m sure part of BG3’s success was due to them taking feedback and bug reports from the early access players that submitted things and implementing the fixes and changes based on customer feedback. It definitely gives unique insight for the developers while the game is still being made.

‘you guys’

‘Frigging humans’

…Are… are you not a human?

Asking for science, naturally.

I’d say I’m somewhere in the middle too. I also have this tendency to build high mid-tier as my budget allows then ride it for 7 years or so until the games I play start struggling. I just don’t have the money to keep up with the latest and greatest/upgrading every year.

…admittedly since Baldur’s Gate 3 came out I’ve been using my PC as a space heater so take that as you will…

Kentucky also has the Hot Brown and Derby Pie.

Derby pie is delicious.

The wiki someone posted mentions blackberry as the state fruit, which I didn’t know but could definitely see. I have fond memories of picking blackberries outside so grandma could make blackberry cobbler.

As far as drinks go, we also have the Mint Julip and the Oaks Lily, which are basically signature drinks of the Kentucky Derby.

So my 2023 Limited trim Hyundai Elantra is the same way. (And correct me if I’m wrong but I’m pretty sure KIA and Hyundai are more or else ‘the same’ at this point? Made by the same people or something?)

I ended up getting one of these: AAWireless 2023 - Wireless Android Auto Dongle - https://a.co/d/hXeBrWT

It’s not ideal but at least it elimates some of the wire mess and my phone itself isn’t physically tethered any where.

Works pretty solid for me so far.

My solution is for Android but surely there’s something similar for iPhone out there too?

Shouldn’t have to jump through hoops for this, especially for higher end models but here we are…
