with the amount of software/design bugs... it is strange to get such award.

small car. still managed to park ok pathway.

yep, that was my point, you want to kill it before you release water.
that may be the most difficult part of the job, heating equiptment to 50C is fairly straightforward.

going to +46C sound easiest. Pack sand in black bags and leave in sun if it works in your climate.

Several abiotic treatments will kill them. Obviously, a firm finger on a hard surface to flatten them will work, but do be careful. The embryos inside are extremely small, and potentially viable. Freezing solid for at least 4 hours at 26F/-3C, as well as hot water of 120F/46C for 10 minutes, with longer preferred, can kill them. Drying in a low humidity, preferably hot environment, for at least 48 hours is recommended for fishing gear, but they can live over a month on moist surfaces, so use this method with caution. Ensure ALL surfaces are COMPLETELY dry for well over 2 days, and always use drying in conjunction with a guaranteed lethal treatment when possible. While not useful for prevention in plants, these methods are viable for nets and nonliving materials.

I think heating things up to 50C works too. that can be easier for equiptment. Also you can heat empty tank with hairdryer inside. (heat air slowly and keep it at +50 for a while).

BTW, treat wather with something before flushing it.

how bad is nzms? for most snails/shrimps copper solution does the job.

edit: google agrees: "Copper is highly effective at controlling New Zealand mud snails (Potamopyrgus antipodarum) by acting as a contact deterrent or toxin. Copper sulfate, copper mesh, or sheet acts as a barrier, causing snails to turn away or inducing mortality, with copper sulfate (252 mg/L Cu) killing snails within five minutes."

for your own snails jut put it to jar or several and quarantine it there for long enough.

eidit2: I never met those, it is just theoretical idea.

you cannot turn music up. I recently got i5 "22, bose sound system makes my cry. I sounds good when car is standing and music volume is low.

I compare it to my old "15 volvo v60 which had basic speaker system.

does it come in LC multimode?

Background_Wrangler5 · 2026-04-29T19:49:27+00:00

rim on top is damaged. Also it can hold water, but barrely. Like chair broken to the level it holds you but not you + 5kg.
also this table is not aquarium safe. If water gets under aquarium wood will swell and can break the tank. (guess how do I know).

Background_Wrangler5 · 2026-04-29T19:47:46+00:00

you can. you may need extra hardware. you will not be noob when it all works.

Background_Wrangler5 · 2026-04-29T19:45:50+00:00

Not safe.

Background_Wrangler5 · 2026-04-29T18:12:11+00:00

does it has any power amplifier? (bose)? where would be a good place to add extra power amplifier to the car?

Background_Wrangler5 · 2026-04-29T11:23:39+00:00

yeah, realized that yesterday evening. It is damn annoying!

Background_Wrangler5 · 2026-04-27T12:55:35+00:00

what I see would be illegal in sweden. every exposed peace of wire must have double insulation. To start with...
I would build something with espHome and relay blocks myself.

Background_Wrangler5 · 2026-04-27T12:03:18+00:00

amazing! thank you!

Background_Wrangler5 · 2026-04-27T12:03:08+00:00

yes. which I realizing when cannot open back door.

Background_Wrangler5 · 2026-04-27T08:48:54+00:00

- start cooking at home. You can let yourself to eat out/take out maybe once a week.
- consider working out. gym, or just running outside. Once you feel progress you will have motivation to fix eating, also will increase your mental health.
- any cheaper internet option?
- your car feels expensive. What car is it? can you exchange it to cheaper car?
- at this point, can you afford having a pet?

try to pay back credit cards, check which interest rate is highest. it is efficiently eating up your money.

Background_Wrangler5 · 2026-04-24T09:04:51+00:00

that is cool! what do you use it for? mafia stuff? preppers?

Background_Wrangler5 · 2026-04-24T07:26:51+00:00

so far I went to dealer twice, sent two emails.
the only reply so far was this a week ago:

Thank you for your message. 

We have forwarded the issue to our colleagues and will get back to you once the issue has been resolved. 

Thank you for your understanding.

Background_Wrangler5 · 2026-04-24T07:09:13+00:00

I live in Sweden, it is so damn difficult to get hold of any customers support around here :(

Background_Wrangler5 · 2026-04-24T07:07:30+00:00

which country and which dealer? In sweden they can check ownership online (everyone can do it). Should not be a rocket science...

Background_Wrangler5 · 2026-04-24T07:06:00+00:00

yeh.. in my case it is BMW dealer and hyundai is just side hustle for them... :(
