majestic Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 Amazon made me a really good offer on one of their Fire TV sticks recently, so I bought one for cheap. Currently setting it up so it can replace my PS4 - the only reason I turn on the console is to stream videos, after all, and not only does it draw way too much power for that, resulting in it sounding like a jet turbine after a couple of minutes. Having an actual remote vs. a PS4 controller is also a major usability win. 1 No mind to think. No will to break. No voice to cry suffering.

Keyrock Posted December 6, 2023 Share Posted December 6, 2023 (edited) Some final thoughts on my Colombian vacation: * Cartagena is a beautiful city. I mean, it's got its ****ty parts, as all cities do, full on shanty towns, in fact, but the wealthier parts of town are pretty, in a modern touristy sort of way, and the Walled City or Old Cartagena is gorgeous. * Colombians sure do love meat. While it wouldn't be impossible to be a vegetarian there, it would be difficult. * Speaking of food, Colombians are giving Americans a run for their money in the portion sizes department. If you walk away hungry you have no one but yourself to blame because they serve you a lot of food and it's so delicious. * Renault and Mazda seem to be the dominant car manufacturers. I mainly noticed that because Renaults, while not unheard of, are pretty rare in The States. * Motorbikes EVERYWHERE. There are so many of them on the roads and they follow their own set of rules. By their own set of rules I mean (seemingly) no rules. They weave through traffic with reckless abandon. Thank God I didn't have to do any driving there. Stuff goes on on the roads in Colombia regularly that would never be permitted in the US. * The sun was relentless, I didn't see a single cloud the entire time I was there. I used so much sun screen and I still got burnt. My parents did better since they live in southern Florida and are now acclimated to that amount and power of sunlight. When I go back there I will have to swallow my pride and wear a shirt in the water. * Colombian women are spectacularly beautiful. I mean, they run the full gamut (men too). There are plenty of ugly and average women, but on the high end... * I now have family in Colombia (thanks sis) so I will definitely go there again. I really want to see Bogotá. Edit: Side-note: Bucket List item update: Visit 6 of the 7 continents (let's be real here, I'm never going to Antarctica) - 4 out of 6.

LadyCrimson Posted December 16, 2023 Share Posted December 16, 2023 Hubby test drove a few Lexus'. They weren't any better re: his back being unable to handle even average freeway road jitter w/out pain. I guess $80k cars have no better suspensions (or tires, perhaps). He was a little annoyed with the sales reps because he told them what/why he was looking for and they all gave him blank stares as if they didn't understand what "smooth/soft ride" and a bad back meant. One told him to try the 4x4 versions ... Personally I think what he needs is a custom car cushion type thing, maybe even one with side supports/straps. I find no matter how great car suspensions are, or how fancy the leather covering is, most car *seats* are quite lacking on any actual padding. Although specific tires can make a big difference too sometimes. Maybe those car dealers all have performance tires that aren't very "soft riding." 1 1 “Things are as they are.
