I’ve been casually looking at the ioniqs - is anything in the interior intrusive? I have a problem with EVs having massive screens or way way too many buttons.

I read somewhere that it’s because human eyes focus on something that is the size of your thumbnail at an arm’s length, so pretty small, and that distorts things a little bit so that what we’re focusing on appears larger. Whereas cameras take in the entire field of view as their focus (at least phone cameras, lenses are a whole other ballgame), and all of that data being poured in at once means the distortion isn’t there.

But that could be complete bull. I just read it somewhere on the Internet and it made sense lol.

Can I be a little bit of a shit and say none?

It’s not that I don’t like books or am proud of not reading - it’s that my ADHD makes books damn near impossible unless I’m fully gripped immediately, and then I will hyperfixate and read the book in it’s entirety in one day (ask me about the bender that was the Girl With the Dragon Tattoo series). And one would think audiobooks would be the solution, but man they just bore me hahaha.

Radio plays (or podcasts in the same style) and deep dives into history, however? That’s the spot.

I’ve been doing French onion soup mix with light sour cream and sliced cucumbers instead of chips. It saves me a bunch of calories but is still a super snack. But onion dip is one of my favorite foods ever. I’ll eat that shit with a spoon.

A third party app that’s still working for me for Reddit is called Stealth.

Hahahahaha. I hate SAP with a burning fury. I’m not sure if it’s looked like this for a long time as I’ve only been in my career three years, but yep yep yep yep, looks exactly the same.

I absolutely understand this. I’ve been traveling to Vancouver, BC a lot and my god, it’s so easy to get around without a car. I’m sure it’s not the golden standard, but it’s sure great

Yeahhhhh, it’s such a pittance that everything is so big. I saw a Mazda 3 ev I think? And there’s a VW golf EV but only in the UK I think, and that’s way too much of a hassle

It helps to a degree. It got us talking a lot more and somewhat vulnerable - something we have troubles with because of our upbringings. But it’s little more than small insights, I think. I don’t know if anything has gotten “fixed”, really. And to be honest, it’s likely due to my difficulties being guilty/responsible/things that I shouldn’t be, so I keep my head down and words to myself. But yeah, it’s just a real bungled up mess. Still, thanks for the reply. The validation helps

I’ve thought about separation, but it’s pretty rough financially to pay for rent + mortgage. Still, appreciate the reply

I mean it’s not that I’m not looking for a therapist (it’s been a hassle), but it’s a lot of validation in an anonymous sense that make the internet strangers worth it for asking.

Besides, being vulnerable in text is a lot easier than in person. Not to sound cagey or defensive, but alas

I binged like 12 seasons of Taskmaster recently and that’s definitely been in my brain alongside ‘You awright?’

Rainier?

I’m not actually sure what it takes to summit it, but this sounds like it could be the place.

Double bad luck, on no I guess

Odd shaped coins are great. I have some coins from the Bahamas with scalloped edges. Those are neat! My favorite odd-shaped one is a misprint. It’s a blank round of copper except for a small sliver on the edge that is pinched into a penny.

Unfortunately I can’t narrow down my favorite coin as there are too many to choose from.

Money! Unfortunately I’m broke, but I do have a sizeable collection of foreign coins and bills. I don’t remember how it started but at some point in my life people just started bringing me their foreign currency. “Hey, I heard you like collecting coins, I got this from Algeria” “Hey, I heard you collect money, I got this from Taiwan”

I think my favorites right now are the currency no longer printed or of nations that no longer exist. USSR, Nazi Germany, Mao Zedong bills, some Eire from Ireland. I also have several misprints that are very cool, a silver penny misprint, and I have a ridiculously old bronze coin from a Chinese dynasty.

Man hook hand car door?!

What is your favorite season?

Not who you asked, but toward the end of a long drive, absolutely. White line fever becomes a huge risk for me, personally, after 5-6 hours.
