Yeah that's likely what everyone else thinks too. Someone has to start the discussion 😆

I believe 19k on modern engines with modern oil but have a hard time believing they recommended the same on many vehicles pre ~2000 when engines and oil were much less robust than they are now.

I also run around 10k miles between changes, but newer engines (2013 Camry) are much easier on the oil than a straight-six from 1992 so I'd be hesitant to push it quite as far without doing an oil analysis. You could also just change the filter and keep the same oil at 5k then change both at 10k (again depending on how dirty the engine makes it).

Why's this guy doing oil changes every 3k miles on his Jeep? Just spend the extra $5 for synthetic and push it out to 5k+ miles.

Edit: this does seem interesting but I think it would work better as a smartphone app that syncs with your home server. I drive a lot for work and it would be a huge pain in the ass to continually track mileage and whatnot on my desktop (or presumably from a webui on my phone but only in range of my wifi).

This reminds me of when Kmart bought Sears.

You're right they tend to sell them to dealerships who sell some at auction to "buy here pay here" lots and the rest get crushed. Cars aren't like currency where they keep circulating around forever.

Up until my 20's I thought steak was disgusting but it turns out that my parents just loved to cook every steak well-done with no seasoning besides A1 sauce and maybe a little salt and pepper. It turns out I love steak just not anything above medium (except carne asada).

This seems crazy to me as tilapia has a dirty taste to it IMO, similar to cod and halibut. If OP wants some flavor I think sushi rolls are the way to go followed by nigiri and then the "white bread fish"

I think your whole family has to chip in a dollar. It's right in the name afterall.

It's like the old adage about buying $30 boots versus $300 boots.

I typically go for high-end phones and then keep them for as long as possible. I used my Note 4 from release until around 2020 when I bought a used V20 for a short time until buying an S21 Ultra which I'm still using today. You can't get the longevity out of budget phones with worse hardware than a $40 Amazon tablet or $50 Raspberry Pi unfortunately. From what I've spent on my S21, it's the equivalent of buying a $200 phone each year and that only goes down the longer I keep it.

That aside, modern phones seem to get fewer and fewer useful features with each release so I don't really see the appeal of 'upgrading' until I literally have no choice.

I have a feeling it's meant partly to reduce competition for Tesla.

Trump turning the White House lawn into a Tesla dealership to help their declining sales should have been a clue for what was to come.

That's when I made the switch. I can't believe it's been that long already.
