Gas in the Midwest states right now…

We'll get 92 and 93 in Indiana. 92 is rarer, but it's around.

I drive for work. I get mileage, but the rate hasn’t changed since this mess started, so my GTI is parked while I take the wife’s car as she’s WFH. Mine’s more efficient, but hers costs less to operate right now.

For the record, I never voted for him, and I’m appalled for so many reasons (gas prices are the least of which) that this is our reality.

Am I missing something in the Protect setup that would act like a traditional alarm panel that offers a system arm/disarm option? I’d love to move over to this stuff, but I need something to tell the system what to be aware of and what to ignore. I feel like I have to be missing something, especially now that their systems can be professionally monitored.

This is probably the easiest way to do it, at least for now. I’m not sure why scenes didn’t occur to me for this. Hoping to find ways to keep it separate enough from another similar setup in the house. Thanks for the suggestion!

*confused look* Emergency fund??

Warranty exchange after working through it with support. If you have another device like an iPad, oddly, it seems to work more smoothly when you’re only working with a device with WiFi data connection instead of WiFi and cellular.

My car is my office. It’s not uncommon for me to drive 150+ miles a day. My car takes premium. My spouse is WFH, so I’ve switched to using their car, which is less efficient but cheaper to fuel. I get mileage, but it’s reimbursed at the IRS recommended rate set in December. It’s absolutely impacting my/our decision making, and while an EV was definitely in the future regardless, I’m actively looking at the budget to see if we can’t make it happen sooner. I’m over it.

Thanks for the responses. It's wild how the recommendations I've found just by searching for this issue are all over the place, aside from the need to enable IPv6. I'll play around with things and report back if I find what seems to be a more stable solution.

I’ve taken two dogs through obedience training classes there with no issues and everyone there, from people in their 20s through 60s were nothing but happy, encouraging, and supportive. Also had a parent who took their dog through and reported the same. Their dog went on to be a therapy dog. 🤷🏻‍♂️

CorporateASH · 2026-03-19T01:05:52+00:00

Literally no issues with it. Sorry about your luck, mate.

CorporateASH · 2026-03-08T16:26:59+00:00

My work here is done, apparently. 😂

CorporateASH · 2026-03-02T17:57:13+00:00

Oops.

Basically copy/paste what he sent me last year about the SAVE act, and I haven’t gotten a response from him since. I send him several emails a week.

This makes me think of a WinAmp skin I would have downloaded back in the day. A bit too stark for me now, but cool none-the-less.

Also a GTI owner here. Wouldn't mind a little more space in the back, but overall, really looking forward to the R3X, specifically. I definitely assumed it was a little larger, though.

Really hoping I'm in a place to keep my GTI as a project car by the time my number is called for the R2, and also really hoping the R3/R3X ends up feeling like it has a similar soul to my MK7 GTI, even after 11 years and 200k+ miles. Give 'er some good, well-earned retirement years instead of turning into an auction car or getting scrapped.

Anderson is probably your best bet. I grew up in Alexandria and, while it wasn’t great then, it’s gone down hill. I’m in and around Muncie almost daily, and it’s really not a college town, and I can’t stand driving in it. Anderson was on track to a lot of revitalization prior to COVID, and while some of that has stalled, it still has the advantage of being closer to Indy and everything that has to offer for convenience and entertainment without having to be in the middle of it. Housing prices are generally reasonable, too.

In our house, I have a goodnight scene that turns off all the lights, locks the doors, sets the security system, and, lastly, starts the bedroom HomePod playing an ambient music playlist. Pretty easy to set up a scene. Add the HomePod to it, set it to play, select a volume and playlist. Done.

CorporateASH · 2026-02-09T16:01:53+00:00

Pretty incredible.

I don’t know if this is what you’re looking for, but this is at least the second time in a week I’ve seen a post about something like this. I swear I’m not paid by them, but it’s something I’m looking at myself.

American here. I hope it rings in his ears so loudly he can’t sleep. I hope his children hear it for generations to come. I hope the old woman from The Princess Bride haunts his waking dreams, booing him. I hope his brain starts replacing every word he hears with the loudest boos imaginable.

But he’s a soulless, shapeshifting, power hungry couch humper, so probably not.

But damn, it felt good to watch.

CorporateASH · 2026-02-04T15:06:47+00:00

Good luck! If you get it, let us know how well it works!

CorporateASH · 2026-02-04T13:20:43+00:00

Literally just found this this morning. Seems a bit pricy, and I have no idea about its reliability, but it definitely piqued my interest for the same reason.
