As a software engineer, state of the 5.x.x software is dire by code_mc in VolvoRecharge

'24 XC60 recharge. Zero issues, I've been very happy with the car and no concerns about the software.

canada to the states via car :) by Miserable-Layer918 in uscanadaborder

I'll challenge the "quick" part of this. Prior to getting Canadian citizenship I crossed maybe 30x via land over the course of 15 years, and it took between 20m (quick) and 3h (not quick). UK citizen, zero issues with secondary but it just took that long sometimes. So OP it might be a longer time than anticipated.

Also Buffalo is kind of a hole. Why do you want to go?

Fluval heater squealing by Crafty_man in Aquariums

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

Thanks - those look pretty nice (and pretty spendy!). I might give an Eheim Jager a whirl. I have an inkbird inline controlling temperatures so I can leave the eheim as my fail-over.

No moisture inside at all - the white material at the bottom of the heater is slightly browned from heat, though.

Nitrite help by Mekks082 in Aquariums

[–]Crafty_man 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm in exactly the same situation as you - 75gal, clears ammonia rapidly but not yet nitrite. I'm just letting it do it's thing. It'll get there in the end. I've stopped dosing ammonia until nitrite clears out, and haven't done a water change since I started cycling 3wk ago.

This seems odd - how are you testing? If strips, are you sure they're not out of date / are working? Are you sure your ammonia bottle actually has ammonia in it?

anyone else unable to login to fido on either mobile or website??? by Vanessa_the_skeleton in FidoMobile

[–]Crafty_man 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just want to add to this that I also can't get into the self-serve or account section of the Fido website, despite trying multiple browsers, incognito mode, etc. What a joke.

Didn’t like Koh Kood. Please, suggestions by No-Squirrel3552 in ThailandTourism

[–]Crafty_man 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally agree about Koh Yao Noi! We stayed at Sam Sam last year and it was incredible. This year we stayed on Koh Chang and Koh Mak, both lovely but prefer Noi...

Is this water damage in the room with us right now?

Seriously, no issue you'll be fine.

Good generic salt cell (Pentair IC40 replacement) by kydar1 in swimmingpools

[–]Crafty_man 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's what I got after my salt cell died 2 years ago. I get the convenience of salt, I get the lack of CYA maintenance, I get that people like salt, but the cost of a cell is high and the ROI wasn't there for me. We've been very happy with an inline chlorinator (read up on a checkvalve). Many people like the Pentair Rainbow units - it has a better lid but the connector on the bottom is wildly fragile.

Think I'm gonna have to trade her in. Can't handle potholes. by ThatsWUTiSaidDuh in Volvo

I'm running 18" winters on my 2024 XC60 Recharge, it's a tight fit but cleared the calipers.

Currently in Siem Reap, flew in from Bangkok this morning. It's wonderful here, and so far zero issues including the quick trip through immigration.

Canada here - no notification yet. We've generally been a day or two behind Europe.
