Hey all,

I know there are many posts about adding Carplay. I've done the searching. And I know that the answer is usually Crutchfield. But that's what I did and I'm not really happy with it.

I'm hoping there's some way to install something that can give me Carplay and keep the look of the interior. For context, I have the 2012 Limited with JBL and nav.

Is there any way, in 2026, to install a Carplay/receiver device that a) doesn't ruin the look of the dash and b) made or sold by a reputable company like Crutchfield? (I see a lot of Alibaba things recommended by brands I've never heard of and I'm wary of installing something like that. Plus the Crutchfield customer service is of course

Hi all,

Bottom line up front: I am an episodic TV/docuseries editor who works fully remote by connecting to another system via apps like HP RGS, jump desktop etc. I need a new computer and I’m unsure if it’s worth it to go for something super high end considering I rarely do the actual editing on my own machine.

The details: My 2019 MacBook Pro battery is bulging and the internet warns me I should stop using it immediately or it will apparently explode (something I would rather avoid).

I figured I would buy the latest MBP and max it out — the most memory and storage possible. This is what I did back in 2019 when I thought “remote editing” would require me actually using my own machine.

So my maintenance light came on and when I went to check it on the info center it says “Due in 0 miles” and “Distance 3550 miles.”

I was under the impression it was normally 5000 miles or 6 months, whichever came first. But it hasn’t been 6 months, and I’m wondering if I have the miles set incorrectly?

For info I’m at about 105k miles, so maybe after that I’m supposed to get it done more often or there’s something else I need checked out?

Hope someone can fill me in. Thanks in advance!

It was packed in a sealed, air tight container.

It honestly could be older, possibly from spring of 2021. I moved a few months ago and honestly forgot I had it.

Should I toss it or give it a try?

So I have a contractor working on my house today who is going to mount our LG C1. I’ve gone to two different Best Buys looking for the Sanus fixed mount and it’s sold out in my area (bad planning on my part I know — but we just had a baby and it’s been hectic).

The only option I have right now is the $30 Best Buy brand one. Is it stupid to go with this? I do have a pro installing it but I worry this will not be as sturdy as the premium Sanus one.

Can anyone help with my (unfortunately) timely issue here? Thanks in advance.

Hey all,

Found a pair of the 3-eyes secondhand and I’m curious about sizing. How do they stack up to Blundstones? Or NB 990s miUSA?

I’m an 11 in Blunnies and a 12 in the NBs (both US). If I went down to 10.5 US in the Timbs would that be too small?

Think I’m technically a “true” 11.5 (what I usually wear in loafers, boat shoes, dress shoes) so is a full sized down to 10.5 correct?

From searching it seems it’s maybe doable without socks but I might want to wear socks in the early fall.

What do you guys think?

Thanks in advance!

I’ll get right to it. I’ve been with my gf for a long, long time now and we’re way overdue to get engaged.

We’ve talked a lot about it and she introduced me to a jeweler she really likes. So i went to her, and I’m getting a custom ring that looks exactly like the kind my gf has wanted for a while.

Now, it’s $7000. Which is a lot. I know.

However, I’m in my thirties and make fairly decent money. Problem is I’m freelance, so while it’s been mostly consistent there is always the chance for a dry spell.

I have some student debt but I’ve been chipping away at it and i should be done with it in 1-2 years. Maybe even less.

I have no credit card debt and a decent credit score.

So, all of

I haven't read the books so I don't know where his story goes, but is Littlefinger the one orchestrating the theorized "Northern conspiracy?" He hasn't been seen all year, and when he last left Sansa he told her marrying Ramsay would eventually help avenge her family. If the North is double-crossing Ramsay, this is totally Petyr Baelish's wheelhouse.

What do you guys think?

Hey guys,

I've had the Pax 1 since Christmas '14 (~ 5 mos.) and my experience with it has been less than stellar. Put simply, it just doesn't seem to work.

I've read a bunch here and elsewhere on how to use it and believe I am doing everything right. I clean it often (pretty much after every pack). I grind the herb up very, very finely, and pack the oven full. I keep it charged and in a safe place when not in use.

But I just can't seem to get anything out of it. I try to keep it on low, but it doesn't do anything for me. I know, I know. Take a couple hits and give it ten minutes, you'll feel it, right? Well, I don't. If I want to feel anything I have to put it on high heat which seems t
