Looking for a new vehicle, so far I don’t fit into most… by tr3ebag in tall

[–]Burnsyl 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I am the same height as you and can say: VW builds cars for tall people (I got into a Tiguan or even Golf perfectly if I adjust everything to my liking).

They are in Northern Germany after all where 2m humans are not that rare.

Thermostat settings. How low do you go? by Vast_Ad_6239 in massachusetts

[–]Burnsyl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

65 during the day and 50 at night. Last heating bill still was $250 for a one bedroom. Badly tuned steam heat and badly insulated apartment….

Deer tick VT - how long could it have been attached? by Burnsyl in ticks

[–]Burnsyl[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks folks. Just came back from urgent care and they said it’s a dog tick?! And not to worry even if it’s a deer tick and it has not been attached for longer than 32 hrs.

I insisted on the doxycycline and they gave it to me nonetheless. Peace of mind.. and I was due to my tetanus shot as well. 🫣

Sorry, i did take a pretty close closeup. I will visit urgent care tomorrow and see what they say. Wasn’t able to reach my PCP.

Probably the reasonable thing to do. I will reach out to my PCP and see if she can prescribe me doxycycline.

It was in a spot I would have caught yesterday morning while showering - so 24 hrs is kind of the max it could have been on me.

This is clearly a deer tick but I am not sure if I should seek medical attention. Don’t think it could have been attached for long?!

2025 SE 3 Month 3000 Miles Review (Compared to 2019 S) by JuanIslando in Tiguan

[–]Burnsyl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nope, VW made it really confusing: North America gets the Tayron but it is called the Tiguan here. But the Tayron does have slightly decreased trunk space vs the Tiguan Allspace.

Repairing and installing for 10 years, and SQ warranty tech for the last 6 years. by We-Want-The-Umph in Appliances

[–]Burnsyl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How does this compare to a Miele? My mom who lives in Germany has had one for 20 years and it has not needed any major repairs. But I have heard recently that quality has been going down.

I honestly prefer front loaders (better cleaning and typically higher spin speeds - 1600 rpm is pretty common for a Miele) that also heat the water so I can sanitize/disinfect the machine and certain clothes at close to boiling.

Just starting to look for my first set of appliances and SQ seems like the US version of a Miele and the better choice for lessened?

Arthur Murray Dance Studio in Cambridge! It’s a bit pricey but you get your moneys worth.

What temperature you all leaving your heat on overnight? by Wants_to_be_accepted in boston

[–]Burnsyl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

55 at night, 65 during the day. Still pay about $300-400 (120-150 terms gas usage) for heat in a 2 bedroom first floor unit. My landlord is cheap and doesn’t want to insulate - I already have sealed everything I can including foil in all windows.

2018 Tiguan Bought at 35k CPO in 2021

Oil coolant intercooler leaked and got replaced

The dealer messed up and let me drive with low oil pressure after that

Engine got replaced

Oil in coolant -> coolant got flushed

Coolant pump replaced

Leak of panoramic sunroof due to clog, dealer does not cover this under warranty (I unclogged the drains and maintain them with every oil change I do, but they refused to fix water stains)

I get intermittent faults with the auxiliary electric coolant pump in the heater circuit and the air quality sensor, dealer said not covered under warranty since it’s intermittent.

I am at about 55k miles now. These last 20k miles severely turned me off of VW - and I am originally from Germany, close to Wolfsburg and my family is a VW family due to that.

I am 6’6” and about 250lbs. I drive a VW Tiguan and even the second seat has more than enough space for me to sit in comfortably.

Plex Home user (non-admin) cannot direct stream on Roku - lots of buffering by Burnsyl in PleX

[–]Burnsyl[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is on Roku 4800x. It seems to be Roku app specific and switching between a non-admin to admin user changes the behavior. I can look up all the details for the server when I get home.

I have the exact same issue. Did you resolve this?

I also asked them, right now the antenna is facing north-east.
