I've been passing on a Golf R for the past 3 years for this exact reason.

Go for perfection.

I've only done it on one farm, but I'm glad I went through with it. I'm thinking about doing it on my Switch, but I find Switch combat controls iffy so idk

Thank you!

I don't care what the reasoning is behind the decision (customer feedback vs. changes to safety ratings), I'm just glad it's happening and I hope all manufacturers follow suit.

This has been my gripe with new cars ever since I found myself needing one in 2022. Everything I looked at had a huge infotainment system front-ending climate and cabin controls. Want to turn your steering wheel heat off mid drive? Ha! Tap this specific spot on this screen 3 times and hope the car doesn't bounce while you're doing so or you'll accidentally turn something else on. Want to use voice controls? Joke's on you, they only work 50% of the time.

God forbid something happens to the control board (which costs thousands of dollars to replace if you're outside warranty), because then you're completely hosed.

You know what always worked without fail? The buttons in my 2005 Corolla.

I always give Pam a beer before she reports to get bus driving duties.

My fav is probably Leah. I'm envious of her simple life doing art in her little cabin and foraging food around the valley.

7 years, I believe. It's my only Perfection farm, and I usually move on to a new farm by year 4.

Honestly, people are just tired of him because he's been in office so long and has failed to deliver on some old promises.

I read about this app here and checked it out. I'm a French noob, and I'm so happy they start their lessons with small conversations instead of theory! This is what my schooling has missed my whole life.

This is a great post, thank you!

Thanks for the recommendation! I've checked them out before but found them a bit too bulbous.

Same, and I've never used an iOS device as a daily driver outside to work. I would literally dump my whole investment in the Android ecosystem over favourable form factor, especially now that Apple is on board with USBC.

I'd buy another 13 Mini, but I'm worried about how long it'll be before planned obsolescence takes over.

Yes please. I really dislike iOS, but I use the iPhone 13 Mini for work and it's the perfect form factor. I desperately want an Android phone that's the same size, but I'm rocking a Flip which is the best I can do for small form factor right now.
