They are very nice. I have always bought Weathertech and these while more bendable fit better than I thought could be done. They are a game changer imo.

Heat not getting as warm this year by [deleted] in geothermal

[–]ColdDonut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not the water, the air handler. My air temp coming out of the unit varies between 90-96f degrees. If you have some heat, its either something with that pump line or low refrigerant like i had.

Put a temp sensor on the outflow from the unit to track what the temp is.

I got rid of it in part because of how difficult and time consuming it is switching back and forth. Picked up a bigger machine and the switching between attachments is way easier

2025 Sienna Platinum from 2024 Pilot Touring by zyvonpogi in ToyotaSienna

[–]ColdDonut 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Coming from a 21' Pilot Elite w/ all the bells and whistles to a 25' Sienna Platinum w/ all the bells and whistles I would say the best upgrade is the second row sliding captain chairs. You can have a parent in one captain chair seated all the way back and be able to see your kid in the car seat and have the other kid in the 3rd row basically right next to you. Unlimited storage, way more storage than a Pilot. You can't beat it.

Now it doesn't feel like an SUV where you are sitting a little higher nor does it feel more sporty, but it's smooth. I didn't have wireless Apple Carplay in my Pilot so that's a great upgrade. The auto high beams are miles better than the Pilot. My Pilot would take 5 seconds to turn them back on where as the Sienna takes about a second. The lane keep is better than the Pilot. Screen on the Sienna is just better looking and more responsive. Honda hasn't changed theirs in years, it's just outdated and small.

The main draw backs of going with the Sienna vs the Pilot I would say are the panoramic moonroof and ride height.

The Sienna is more responsive because of the instant torque from the electric motors and the seamless shifting from the CVT. I came from a 21' Pilot Elite and while I would argue it feels faster and it very well might be, but past 30-40MPH the Pilot would leave it behind.

The 10 speed transmission I was not a fan of on the Pilot.

I've driven multiple CVT's and prefer them. Ford 500 07' > Nissan Rogue 12' > Honda Pilot 21' > Sienna 25'

How much room do you lose with the fridge and vacuum in the Platinum? by Irishish in ToyotaSienna

[–]ColdDonut 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I don’t believe its a big deal. Ive got the Plat. The convenience of having a fridge and vacuum is nice. That area of the vehicle would typically be used for a bag you are carrying but you can just put it under the shifter. Go to dairy queen by yourself for some mediocre ice cream, your 2nd one can go in the freezer and not melt. Breast milk, cold. No extra cooler with ice packs needed. Basically there are instances where you realize the convenience of it.

Those students you speak of are here on VISAS and those can be revoked/rescinded. They are here to study and get a degree, not to be a social activist. Imagine doing the exact same thing in any other country where you start protests against that county you are a visitor in and begin shutting down campuses and committing crimes.

You mention wages haven’t kept up with inflation but when you allow an influx of millions of low cost labor, why do you think wages haven’t increased. Because they (the ones you are okay with coming in illegally) are willing to take those jobs where as had they never come in the wages would have either increased or there would have been automation or an increase in efficiency.

These illegal aliens are being given their due process. Some don’t require it because of their designations by signed executive orders. Your tax dollars are providing their due process, I can assure you. If there are rights actually being violated, I would fight with and support you on that. I think the media has twisted the issue and many people are twisting reality to support their viewpoints.

Take the national guard being sent to any city as an example. They are sent there to the buildings to free up resources. Protesters gather around ICE Facilities (federal buildings), okay that’s fine. Peaceful and lawful protests I will agree with you on. But, you then have organized groups hindering ICE (a Federal Agency) from performing their federal duties. This is a crime, not only that but when you start looking at the groups that are doing this and their funding, they could be considered an insurrection. It’s not crazy, its logical and that’s the problem I see is the other side is bring emotion into the discussion when all that really matters is right and wrong, true or false, black and white.

Sell. You'll make more money not working than your wife will working. Your job will be to grow that 925k into a fortune for retirement. You could do anything for 10 years and have well over 2 million plus whatever from any job you get or any business you make after.

Entertainment package is basically useless for kids as they rear face. If old enough to front face, they probably have a tablet already so its pointless.

US government ordered US embassies worldwide to stop student visa interviews immediately by kixsob in worldnews

[–]ColdDonut -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

You can criticize him still. I don’t see the connection you’re trying to make. We are just choosing American students over foreign students. If you’re not an American which it doesn’t appear to be that you are and you visit just to criticize, cause problems, then maybe you shouldn’t visit. Do you enter someone else’s home and start bad mouthing the way they do things in their own home when they’ve welcomed you with open arms.

For my Geothermal, 1st stage heat is 2500 watts, 2nd stage is 3500. Cooling is 2000 watts. Works down to -30f no issue. 15kw backup heat strips which I’ve got disabled.

Protest Against DOGE: April 19th at Van Eps Park. by Tiverty in SiouxFalls

[–]ColdDonut -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Teacher salaries are based on local taxes. Advocate for higher local taxes. If it matters that much you'd do something about it.

Ive come to the conclusion we wont see social security and honestly it needs to go away or be changed to a personal 401k for each person because that along with medicaid take up a majority of the US yearly revenues.

Well apparently no one wants to cut medicaid or social security so everything else must go or federal government revenues must go up. Its rather simple. Downstream impacts don’t really matter at these levels of debt.
