    the downside to quick acceleration is gonna be tire wear. I have a Prologue and the tires for it are $380 each, or were when I got it, they'll likely go up too.

    Old usernames are great. I was in lycos chat in 96 at the local library! and the name (and a fair amount of variants) Raistlin was taken. Well I got tired of having to find a different name so I started looking for something obscure, but still from Dragonlance. 28 years so far and I've been beat out twice ;)

    I don't have a great answer for you, in fact I've had the exact issue with Hanes socks. I can only recommend trying goldtoe brand (can find at Walmart) as that's what I've found to work.

    It's hard to not be nihilistic about these issues too, it feels like everything is designed to suck as much as possible.
    Or to get as much info from you as possible, case in point: trying to order from Taco Bell RN and since not on a normal device, the app doesn't allow for guest checkout so gotta go through the website because reasons. Just a ton more hoops to jump through with everything for no good public reason.

    If you tend to be very hot while sleeping and want some bedding that is very cooling, try rest.com , they have some proprietary evercool thing. It works very well, but 2x pillowcases, comforter, and a fitted sheet is around $300 (this is queen size, prices go up for larger pieces). Also, the comforter is heavier than it looks.

    I recently got a 24 Honda prologue, which is basically just a Chevy blazer EV with Honda badging. The point is that it uses Google maps and assistant and all that mess, so GM is using that currently.
