I'm headed to a conference soon and am planning to make some fun t-shirts to wear while I'm there. Tonight it popped into my head that there could be some really great "that's what your mom said" jokes. I'm looking for funny/silly ones that are just plain silly and don't denigrate moms (because F*** patriarchy and violence against women).

Best joke will go on a T-shirt I will actually wear at conferences and I'll be happy to make and send you one for yourself.

I only have a couple examples but I know y'all could do better.

Your farts have a <.02 p-value, (Mom, Y. 2025).

More research IS needed (Mom, Y. 2025).

"Lets get interdisciplinary!" (Mom, Y. 2025)

My body of evidence is qualitative (Mom, Y. 2025)

What else? Let's have a few laughs shall we?

[edit] - I'm in Chicagoland

I just got the official call from the dealership and confirmation from consumer affairs that poor sweet 2020 SL plus is going to buy back 😢.

Unfortunately Blue book + 40% won't buy me an equivalent vehicle of the same condition and trim level (even with ~ 70k mileage).

The folks at Nissan consumer affairs said that I will be hearing from Morley soon, the company now handling the buy-backs since the recall fix.

Has anyone here dealt with Morley yet? I could use any advice anyone can give that might help me get a sufficient buyback to get an equitable replacement.

CORRECTION TO THE TITLE!!! - $16,000/$16K NOT 1,600

TL;DR - In the event of a buyback, what can I possibly get to genuinely replace my 2020 SL+ within the budget without ending up with potentially even more expensive (non -warranty) reliability issues.

As some may know from an extended post yesterday I got the Nissan Leaf equivalent of the red ring of death or blue screen in the form of the post recall fault. Which is incredibly sad because I actually really loved driving it and I've had it for less than a year.

I know it may take a while but the tech says that it's likely going to get a buyback. As a 2020 SL+ with 68,000 mi, it seems like I can anticipate getting around $16,000 for it with some haggling.

I really don't have more money to put into a replacement (and really can't add a loan payment to my monthly budget)

The Federal rebates are dead, and Illinois rebate (if not already claimed by previous owner) would take up to 6 months to receive.

We have a 2018 Toyota sienna that gets 18-19 MPG that we use for longer trips as a family of 4. But I have academic conferences coming up this fall that I'll be attending by myself. It would be amazing if I could take my 2020 Leaf SL+ instead of the gas guzzler (~300 miles)

Needless to say, I have no faith in the possibility of successfully finding a working CHAdeMO charger along my routes. I've been eyeballing CHAdeMO to NACS (or ccs2) adapters and wondering if it's worth the cost or if I'd just be setting myself for a rabbit hole of issues.

Note: I got the DC fast charge recall update done at a dealership everything looks good. I've only done one DC since then (I rarely need to charge while I'm out and about and only found a working CHAdeMO once in the few times I felt the need).
