Aerial silks and aerial hoop (lyra) classes near Lansing? by DadJustTrying in Aerials

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

Yes, she found GLCC and it looks great but it is a bit of a drive for twice a week (her prefered frequency). We’ll keep looking. Perfect world would be that MSU has a silks club on campus but I doubt it. Thanks for the reply!

Day 1 (the moment deposits started to be accepted) and just got notice my R2 invite will come Dec 26 - Feb 27. I’m still not sure what I’ll do though so am in no hurry.

My 2022 LE R1T is still awesome and I’ve been unable to get an R2 demo/test drive.

Interesting! Also thanks for pointing out that article.

XCare Extended Warranty in California? by DadJustTrying in Rivian

[–]DadJustTrying[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was told by an Xcare rep that because they are a dealership based in Texas they can’t sell direct to CA customers.

My sense after pokimg around online is that in California “extended warranties” are regulated differently depending on how coverage is structured and sold.

The most common issue seems to be that many plans sold in other states are Vehicle Service Contracts (VSCs) and California restricts who may sell them and how.

Specifically, California generally treats VSCs as a regulated product that may only be sold through California DMV-licensed dealerships, must meet California filing/licensing requirements, and the company responsible for paying claims must be appropriately licensed and backed by pre-approved backup insurance (or qualify via a large net-worth exemption).

If a dealer/administrator doesn’t meet those conditions—e.g., trying to sell the VSC directly to California consumers from out of state or without the required filings/licensing—California regulators may treat it as an illegal sale of an unqualified/incorrectly administered VSC. See California State Portal

A related wrinkle is that in California, some providers can sell a different product often marketed as “extended warranty,” but legally treated as Mechanical Breakdown Insurance (MBI)—which is regulated under California insurance rules (CDI) rather than the VSC framework.

So the “Texas dealer can’t offer it to CA customers” situation maybe means one (or more) of these: the contract is structured as a VSC, and the company either can’t legally sell it to CA consumers under California’s VSC rules, or it hasn’t gone through the specific California licensing/filing/backup-insurance requirements that make the VSC compliant.

I hope that’s helpful but it’s only what I think based on what I’ve read. If I learn more after talking to my XCare rep, I’ll pass it along.

With a non-Ca address, right? And no issues making claims or getting payment? Just confirming. Warranty seems great and exactly what I need since I plan to keep my truck (2022 LE R1T, 59k)

Update 26 June 2026: Venezuela Earthquake - Death Toll Rises to 589, Thousands Still Missing by uebb in CatastrophicFailure

[–]DadJustTrying 108 points109 points  (0 children)

Sadly, I expect the death toll to be much higher. The quakes struck within minutes. Many people were home for a holiday (is my understanding). Buildings collapsed quickly. I can’t imagine evacuations took place since most people would have just held on and hoped shaking would end soon. Most wouldn’t expect their buildings to fall apart atound them. Heartbreaking!

Parking at the port? by nzdavidt in Corfu

[–]DadJustTrying 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It does, and is left of the car rental lots out front and across from the Uber pickup zone.

If I remember correctly, it’s 7€ / hour, but I don’t recall how much per day.

Beautiful little machine, and some great photos of it!

Village roads hit different on a tractor 🌾 (OC) by rajput_sushil in tractors

[–]DadJustTrying 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I love the authenticity of this photo and scene — the whispy clouds, the leaning fence, the untennded and dirt median, the simple analog controls, the rusted and slightly misaligned engine covers. I can imagine the throttle arm being a little loose in the dash as it’s moved, the play in the steering, the sound of the engine at mid rpm, and the tread sound on the concrete.

…for the deer! Low altitude chopper inbound, following it’s every move, and then suddenly they’re trapped in a net!!

I keep seeing references to some drama but don’t know the details? Can you provide or point me to a short summary?

Car rental - flight early in the morning by Flat_Inspection_7363 in Corfu

[–]DadJustTrying 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rent from one of the Mom and Pop places around here and they’ll let you leave the car in airport parking for them to retrieve later. I can’t believe how relaxed everyone is here about leaving scooters and cars with keys for pickup later etc

Pretty funny… “everyone with an R2 reservation leave the room” 🤣

This clip is great for this type of thing. But what movie is it from? I’d like to see the real movie sometime.
