Weirdly unsatisfied (spoilers-Carrie)

I binged Carrie in two nights. I saw the original movie as a young teenager after reading the book, so I know the storyline and had an idea of what to expect. I'm also a Flanagan fan and saw the trailer, so I wasn't going in totally blind and unprepared. >! Firstly, I loved the expansion of the Chris-Carrie feud and the inclusion of modern technology into the story. I think both improved the narrative. However, the last episode, after the rampage, left me wanting. Without going into too much detail, even with the spoiler tag, I'm not happy about the way the ending changed. On Netflix, I got used to Flaniverse series being one-and-done and I liked that. I don't like the open-to-a-second-season way that this series closed and that might be why I just feel "meh" about it!<. This is the first series I've watched in a long time where I haven't tried to find Easter Eggs and BTS stuff on YouTube as soon as I've finished and that lack of extra interest has me feeling unsatisfied and empty.

Replacing the EGR for a 2012 Prius V with approx 196k miles

I've been pinging P0301 with full body shuddering, shimmying when trying to accelerate, and have replaced the water pump, spark plugs, and fuel coils. I know what I have to do but my mechanic is apprehensive about the cost of the part+work vs the cost of the vehicle. I fully admit that I should have done more (read: any) research before jumping at grabbing this vehicle/model. Any ideas what I should expect to pay for the part? Are there any aftermarket options I should look at if I cost to buy the part myself? I'm completely lost and would appreciate some first hand advice.

Changing markets on vacation

I'm heading to a new place for a long weekend and was looking to kill some time and make some money dashing while I'm there. Will the scheduling/Dash Now availability update once I'm closer or is there a settling I'll need to change?

I would have been happier with no tip

I accepted the Rainbowl order because it was close. The Szechuan order came in while I was waiting. I dropped the ramen order off first and saw the breakdown of the pay. $0.48 tip. And this delivery was to one of the ritzy neighborhoods! The Szechuan order went to one of the more run-down areas. Just proof that there are exceptions to every demographic. The big houses with a Tesla and Range Rover in the driveway does not guarantee a good tip. Logically, I know this, but seeing the proof still makes me grumpy.

2012 Prius V (198231 Miles) getting these codes after spark plug work

I've only had this car for about 2 months. The Carfax was clear and maintenance records were good. The water pump went out about a month after I got it, but I wasn't too surprised by that. However, after getting the 301 code about 2 weeks ago, my mom's "Prius guy" replaced some spark plugs and returned my car.

The shuddering feels worse and these codes popped last night. I'm a complete mechanical dummy, so any help would be much appreciated.

Really hating the new hot zone map

This new zoomed-out map is killing me. What was wrong with the old one? I can sort of see the point of giving an approximate wait time for each hot spot, but when you try to zoom in, it zooms right back out. Trying to use it Friday night was a nightmare. Is this just a trial thing they've rolled out or are there any drivers that actually think this is an improvement?

I think this James Patterson novel has been slept on

There was a time in the 90s where I devoured every word this man wrote, starting with the early Cross novels, before he became a brand with co-writers. But my favorite book of his... No one knows it. Hide and Seek, from 1997. I loan my copy out regularly and everyone I've given it to loves it! I think the right person could rock a screenplay because it's a tale that deserves to be played out on the screen. I want this story to come to life and I have a full-on cast in my head as I reread.

Has anyone else enjoyed this book this much? I want people to gush with.

Food Delivery for Kitty Hawk and south

I am planning on visiting at the end of June and might have some time to kill. How active are delivery services like Door Dash? What are the tips like? I've been coming there nearly every summer for the last 30+ years and know my way around well. Is it worth it or should I stick to laying on the beach.

Dashing in a resort/vacation area

I've been thinking of taking a "dash" vacation. Getting a $28/night campsite and doing some Prius camping (not for the first time) and rather than spending the days/evenings at the beach (which I love the sound and smell off, but not so much tanning/swimming), spend them dashing. Is it worth it? My Prius gets fantastic mpg and since I grew up going to this particular area, I know my way around pretty well. How are tips in a vacation area?
