Drusas

Interesting. I didn’t know that about the more recent builds. It’s good to hear that there are still some options.

I bought my car at the beginning of 2020, and I wasn’t looking for new car prices, so I didn’t look at anything more recent than the 2018.

I love it. I’m glad I got the 3.6r. It’s got plenty of power for accelerating at a reasonable rate (though I wouldn’t call it speedy like my old Mini was) and I don’t have to worry about hauling cargo or my boat.

Interestingly, when I last took it on a road trip out to Glacier National Park, some guy saw me getting into it and was so excited because he used to have one that was a couple of years younger and he missed it that he felt compelled to talk cars (I’m a woman–this is not a thing that happens to us). He went on and on about how much he loved and misses the 3.6r engine and how they’re just not the same anymore.

But I do use it for things like hauling boats and the occasional UHaul trailer or similar. If you’re just using it as a commuter car, the better gas mileage would make more sense.

I did test drive a 2018 before buying the 2017 and the 2018 had a nicer sound system.

2017 Subaru Outback 3.6r

It’s reliable and convenient and has every feature I need or want.

It’s got pretty good adaptive cruise control, good cargo capacity, including seats folding flat so that my large dogs can fit comfortably. It’s got AWD and additional traction and hill features. It can tow my boat. It’s got a pretty good sound system. Heated seats and steering wheel (a necessity for those of us with Raynaud’s ). Two buttons for memorizing seat settings. Backup camera. High clearance. All kinds of pros and the only con is mediocre gas mileage.

I expect it to last for a very long time. It’s just practical all around. And I don’t need to drive it terribly much, so the gas mileage isn’t a big deal for me.

Seems like a non-issue unless it’s a really huge chip.

Ducky makes fantastic keyboards and some have no lights. For the ones with lights, you can turn them off.

Last I read, he has not requested bail. They wouldn’t let him out, anyway, and he’s smart enough that he knows it–he attacked the ruling class and they want to make an example of him.

It is. Ask anyone with pancreatic insufficiency.

Man, I wish I had the space for several junk drawers.

When Mufasa dies.

My father flew for the first time in years to come visit me some time back. He packed his stuff in an old duffel bag. Once he made it to my place, he gave me a pocket knife that he hadn’t remembered was in the duffel bag.

Great job, TSA.

Sure, it’s how I get my nieces and nephews who live on the other side of the country to remember who I am. I’m a good gift giver.

I’m a woman.

Exactly what I came here to say. Well, I would specify sex rather than gender. I wouldn’t want to be born female at any point in history.

Depends what you’re making.

Those canned soups are precooked and just need to be heated up. Well, they don’t need to be heated up, as you said. That’s just to make it more enjoyable.

Also, it’s sanitary.

Yeah, but OP is complaining about plastic. There’s no particular bacterial risk related to anything they mentioned.

I don’t know if it’s my favorite, but the first one to immediately come to mind is the episode of The Last of Us featuring Nick Offerman. It was just heartbreakingly beautiful.

My in-laws are considering selling an undeveloped property they own after being contacted that way.

I think that is a very recent development.
