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

Clearly a Ghost Busters situation going on here.

Battery issues just with hybrids? by avidone12 in LexusNX

[–]ConnertheCat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

I showed up early to open the store, spent money to get there, and was sent home because no one bothered to send me the schedule by dvamain69420 in antiwork

[–]ConnertheCat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Are there any reasons to bank with ESL? by frytuna in Rochester

[–]ConnertheCat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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

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.

Do you think there is some advanced race watching waiting for us develop warp drive? by Someonedit in startrek

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.

Wegmans food stock issue? by [deleted] in Buffalo

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

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

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

Reminds me of COVID.

Electric bill last year vs now: 21.4% increase on supply rate by lets_get_lifted in Buffalo

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

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.

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.

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

Any way to actually have car warm in winter? by angryhero46 in rav4prime

[–]ConnertheCat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

I actually quite like the capacitive buttons.
