    I stopped using Android Auto on my infotainment system. I thought it was just me but when I'm using navigation (Google maps or wyze), the second I lose service for any reason, it completely exits out and cancels my navigation. I found that if I use it in my phone, it doesn't have that issue.

    2020 Subaru Forester, but friends with other cars (VW, Honda) mentioned the same issue. Not sure if this has been fixes in recent Android Auto updates or in newer cars, but I'm not going to chance it anymore.

    Same, if only to keep fulfilling a childhood commitment to myself of owning all consoles after seeing some friends of mine having a Sega AND a Nintendo.

    This is me but with the nicotine mints! I slowly started mixing in other "regular" mints, but it doesn't have the same kick! So after an extended period of time I get grumpy and just go back to the nicotine mints...

    An old coworker of mine at some part-time gig went to school and studied "Mortuary Science". Absolutely fascinated me. He had a second job at a crematorium where he was an apprentice.

    After him telling me that, I realized that I never thought about how someone got into that field. Never really considered someone going to school to do this as a career (which now I realize is obvious, but I never connected the dots).

    Always assumed people working at a crematorium or a cemetery was a cliche old decrepit guy.

    Crystal Clear Pepsi. I don't drink soda anymore, but when I was a kid that was my crack!

    I remember they brought it back for a limited time for a bit, but sadly it's now gone.

  • I'm a Male who doesn't have a thick beard or much facial hair. At best, I get a small stubble on my cheeks, where my moustache can grow a bit more. I can easily shave my cheeks without any cream or prep, moustache I'd generally have to soften up the hairs for a good shave. Generally, I use the razor for a few "shaves" which can last a few weeks. Since there isn't much hair, it doesn't dull as easily. I'll change it out after I feel its getting slightly dull or when I realize that it's been a while since I last changed it. Curious as to what others do or if there are things I'm potentially overlooking (e.g. hygienic reasons to change more frequently). Also - I recently switched to a single blade, straight razor.
