Heads up to anyone looking to play on Deck and other systems concurrently, cross save will get fucky. I lost 20+ hours of play time thanks too this on ME1 and about the same when I came back a year later to play through ME2 assuming they would have smoothed it out.

I love the idea of someone being brought up for tax evasion charges because they were only claiming a blowjob rate when they were doing anal.

This could be the most interesting audit in the history of the IRS.

I'll take that perspective! Cheers

Thank you to everyone in this thread who made me feel part of a community of my peers online for the first time, in a long time.

Every plumbing project (even yesterdays quick upgrade of the kitchen faucet) is at least a 2 tripper. Each time I finish one I swear I'm never moving again. Then, 5 years later, I'm fixing the previous owners mishaps "one last time".

To all the people who've bought houses I lived in, I'm sorry for all of the " what was that idiot thinking" moments I've caused you. Ha

I have a bi-monthly calendar reminder for the Samsung filter. 3 dogs means that thing is constantly packed with hair and we get the dreaded filter error code if it's not cleaned regularly.

Sigh, have a nice day.

I haven't driven the id.4, but our car has a visual indicator that shows the percentage of regenerative braking efficiency achieved when you at coming to a stop. Hitting 100% is significantly easier in my experience with my test sample of 1 vehicle using the single pedal option, like everything though, I'm sure it's not the same across the board.

If you're reading the brake lights on the car directly in front of you as an indicator to slow down, you have already lost the plot.

A competent driver is actively driving a minimum of half a mile ahead of themselves with more than adequate distance between the vehicle directly in front of them to allow a response to changing road conditions.

The car doesn't suddenly decelerate unless the driver completely pulls their foot from the pedal. This sounds like a skill issue on both sides.

I drive exclusively in 1-pedal. It's a pretty quick transition.

Probably easiest to make an analogy to the transition to analog sticks for gaming.

It was a bit difficult but, once you get the nuance, it's pretty game changing.

Couldn't agree more.

I have a Mach-E and drive exclusively in one pedal mode. With my car you can still use the brake if you want. But honestly once you adjust to it, it becomes very instinctive to let it accelerate and decelerate based on the traffic patterns around you.

Now, if someone's doing some stupid shit in Seattle during rush hour traffic I end up using the brake more but for 95% of my daily driving I'm just using the one pedal.

It's honestly more jarring going back to driving my truck with a traditional setup than it was adjusting to the one pedal setup.

The eyebrows give them so much character. Love it.
