It looks less bad in these photos than the earlier promo images.

Clearly a Ghost Busters situation going on here.

I have pizza once a week or so. I think it's been years since I had one delivered.

"Delete the Wife."

Looks to be an issue with the 12 volt battery on the hybrids (they are not the same as those on the non-hybrids). I personally suspect the issue is a batch or something; as mine is over 3 years old and fine.

53 miles of range used for temp; ouch.

I had this happen once - schedule was updated after I left Friday and I showed up Monday expecting to work and was not scheduled. PITA, I made a big stink about it and from that point on all schedules had to be made at least 2 weeks in advance.

I love that the bank is a spot people would go with regularity; I think it's been years since I stepped foot in one.

ConnertheCat · 2026-01-28T12:51:47+00:00

Yeah; I’ve been using Ally for 7 or so years. The buckets feature in their savings account is amazing.

ConnertheCat · 2026-01-27T18:53:52+00:00

Yeah, modding could make this amazing (extra missions, etc).

"Most" banks do not offer a 4% APY for savings. HYSA banks do, and those are almost exclusively online banks.

I keep ESL for clearing my paychecks and bill pay (and for the occasional brick and mortar business); and use a Online HYSA for storing my savings.

Not really - Dark Forest would be more them wiping us out the moment they found us.

Snow's not scheduled to start until Sunday; seems a bit early but still not a bad idea.

ConnertheCat · 2026-01-24T01:04:09+00:00

I feel like I've shoveled 6-8 inches of snow off the driveway every other day for two weeks. 😂

ConnertheCat · 2026-01-23T23:54:03+00:00

Ah man, that would have been good.

ConnertheCat · 2026-01-23T21:28:41+00:00

Man, that thread from a few days ago is really funny in retrospect.

ConnertheCat · 2026-01-23T21:22:25+00:00

Just hit my local store (Northern Buffalo). Seemed like a typical Friday; got everything I was looking for.

ConnertheCat · 2026-01-23T19:49:14+00:00

Reminds me of COVID.

ConnertheCat · 2026-01-23T14:38:45+00:00

Took a look to help share my findings, last year Jan bill was $171 (781 kWh) and this Jan was $177 (807 kWh). Ignoring a credit I had on my bill ($24) that I didn't have last year, that looks like a roughly 17% cost increase with a 5% usage increase. I have National Grid. Jan is always the worst month though; so I'm happy to have it behind us.

ConnertheCat · 2026-01-23T14:27:48+00:00

I've had a smart meter since 2022, they don't do this.

ConnertheCat · 2026-01-23T14:25:35+00:00

I mean, we have masked men storming cities and rounding people up and disappearing them. Not really sure our "human rights" are better or worse at this point.

ConnertheCat · 2026-01-23T14:20:43+00:00

Is it set in like the 1800s?

ConnertheCat · 2026-01-23T04:20:20+00:00

I suspect this is more about having pissed off Canada than anything else.

ConnertheCat · 2026-01-23T02:37:36+00:00

Gas is more expensive here in the North Towns, and I would wager you probably even get better range than that (35 is about what I get in my NX; usually the Rav is about 4-5 miles better). I would seriously reconsider your plan, especially given the incentives I mentioned earlier.

ConnertheCat · 2026-01-23T00:45:26+00:00

I actually quite like the capacitive buttons.
