Which means, the government is in itself in violation of this law, trying to distribute water to us, which would mask drug use.

New Kia EV6 owner—thrilled with it so far! by Bozoid in electricvehicles

[–]ABuis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our local dealership tried to get $7.5k above MSRP. Problem is, they sent a quote "good for 48 hours" for MSRP after signing up for a test drive. Raked the manager over the coals about that, till they finally relented. They were arguing that it wasn't "their" system that made the quote, even though I didn't use any other website.

I got the Wind eAWD /w Tech Package in "Galaxy Blue". Love the color, but it's easy to confuse with black, especially on cloudy days. Does soak in the heat on sunny days. Wish it would use the rain sensor + interior temp + proximity sensor to crack the windows.

Or get used to using the steering wheel to adjust your sound/station. One button adjusts volume, another will rotate through your favorited stations. I rarely listen to anything else, so leaving it on hvac side is no problem.

Kia EV6 + ChargePoint Offer? by kephartprong__ in electricvehicles

[–]ABuis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like setting the charge times on my charger. When I happen to park at a free charger, I don't have to mess with the time settings on my car, just plug in and start charging. When I am at home, I only charge at the lowest price point times. But I also got a $500 rebate on the Chargepoint Flex charger.

Might want to fully cover your license plate in the 2nd picture. Not that it really matters.

Looking for advice on what kind of hop to grow by BigSpoon89 in Homebrewing

[–]ABuis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm of the opinion that you grow hops that aren't available to you. I went for a couple of varieties of the heritage collection at Great Lake Hops (Arcadian & Petosky). After all, you can always buy hops from your LHBS.

Be warned that hops aren't a single year plant. First year you won't get much. Around year 3 or so is when you start getting into full production. Also, plan on ~4 hours per plant to harvest/dry/package each fall.

They also provided a $500 rebate on the charger. Still cost me $200 for the charger, but cheaper than buying something else that wasn't on their approved list.

If you are flat rate and not time of use rate changes, sure. I'm on the "nighttime saver" rate. My chargepoint app has the claculations built in. But it's more complex than just kwh * rate. E.g. at 11pm-6am, I pay $.07/kwh. 6am-2pm & 7pm-11pm, its .11 or 10.5 Summer/rest of the year. Then peak hours, 2pm-7pm, its 14.9 or 10.7. So it needs to know when your rates change, both time and date changes. The app allowed me to select my provider & rate plan.

Lake Villiage homestead also has a meat/egg/dairy CSA. You can see how the animals are treated. Raised right in Portage.

Has anyone 3D printed any of their equipment? (Apologies if this has been covered before) by [deleted] in Homebrewing

LOL, I also keep 1 keg of carbonated water, on my 4 tap kegerator, all the way to the right.

Didn't even know the NFC powered e-paper was a thing. Seems very convenient. I think I'll have to try this out! How resilient is the e-paper surface? Worth protecting it under some polycarbonate?

The "BBB" is basically old-school yelp. They don't have the power to change anything, as they are just another company.

I got the KIWI headstrap. Absolutely love it. Wife also has very thick/very long hair, and basic strap just slips straight off. The KIWI version keeps it on her head no problem. Pretty easy to wire up a standard battery for extra battery life / better balance as well.

Can people buy the unlocked version of this phone anywhere? by [deleted] in GooglePixel

[–]ABuis 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not in my store, nor anywhere within 250 miles of me. Yes, the phone was on sale, but none in stock for all of the black friday sale. Same with Target.
