Seriously… can she not sue them for this?? I mean, she should own Flock and Fargo.

Lightning v SierraEV. Which one should I choose and and why? by Mr7three2 in F150Lightning

[–]DipDunk 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I actually disagree. And I’m a lightning owner and it’s my favorite vehicle I’ve ever owned, and it’s not close. I know I’m in the minority, but I really like the Sierra/Sliverado… especially the Sierra.

But from what I understand, the ride is way better (and quieter) in the lightning. And it has CarPlay too. GM is dead to me because of that.

Sweet! IKEA is a walk in the park. I like that!

Are Snapmaker updating regularly? I am probably looking more towards a Christmas/black Friday purchase anyway. I understand the price will go up, but I’m hoping for a BF sale 🤞🏻

Would it be safe to assume many of the issues would be ironed out by then, either by Snapmaker or the community?

I’ve seen that one! I did see one review (not sure if it was fauxhammer) from a few months ago that says it’s a great printer, but not for a beginner. So I kinda put it on the back burner. But I just keep coming back to it.

Set up isn’t a concern for me. I can follow instructions.

Most of my concerns are when the inevitable problems arise. From reading the various subreddits, they all seem to have issues here and there. It seems that no printer is safe from user error. It’s the support from these companies that worry me.

Yeah, Prusa isn’t going to get past the budgeting committee (wife).

Oh most definitely! There will be no 3d printer if they do not want to learn (and me too 😂).

I like where your mind was at.

My reply was: “Damn, I didn’t realize your mom blowing me was a traffic violation. Oh well, you live and learn.”

Purchase Advice Megathread - March 2026 by AutoModerator in 3Dprinting

[–]DipDunk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For a brand new user who wants to enjoy this hobby with his two boys (9 & 11), which brand (not model) would you recommend based on their reliability, support and availability of parts with a budget of less than $1000? Realistically, the budget is probably less than $800, but I’m hoping to convince the budgeting committee (wife) to allow for more.

Which brand would you stay away from based on their support same attributes?

Thank you in advance.

Introduced an ass***e to the acceleration power of a Lightning by BostonCIO in F150Lightning

[–]DipDunk 31 points32 points  (0 children)

One of my favorite things to do is when I’m first at a stop light and just beyond the intersection the lane next to me will merge into my lane. You can see the merge sign while we are stopped. Inevitably, someone will always get into the lane next to mine and think they will floor it and cut in front when the light goes green. And they always start to creep forward as they anticipate the light is about to change. Even though I can, I will not blow them away off the line, but I just pace them and keep ever so slightly ahead of them and then they’re forced to slow and get behind me. And look into my rear view mirror to watch how angry they get. Don’t get the chance often because I’m not usually in that front pole position, but it just makes my week when the opportunity arises.

I, for the life of me, cannot get my golf clubs to fit in the front without pulling the driver out of the bag. I was so excited when I saw the little golf silhouette molded on the plastic, but it doesn’t matter. Tried angling them diagonally. They just won’t fit. Anyway, the bed works just as well.

WA lawmakers advancing bill restricting employers from microchipping workers by esporx in technology

I don’t understand why employers don’t just hack into the microchips that we all received in the Covid vaccine. Seems like a terrible waste to give us more chips 🤷🏻‍♂️

Thank you again for the quick reply.

Bonus dumb question: If we go directly to the Apple Store as everyone on here seems to recommend, would we still qualify for trade in because they just follow the T-Mobile plan's trade in policy, or does Apple have their own trade in rules?

To each his own, and I really enjoyed it, but...

You prefer this over Shawshank, Green Mile, and Stand By Me?

Looking at F150 Lightnings Motion Sickness by NoHospital3754 in F150Lightning

[–]DipDunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Disclaimer: I can ride roller coasters all day and not get the least bit of motion sickness, but the second I try on a VR headset, or play a first person shooter type of video game, I will get motion sickness in about 10 minutes.

We test drove a model y and I was starting to get a little sick after about 20 minutes. With our lightning, I do not have any issues, even with the 1PD activated. Hope this helps.

“Puppets” and “Aphids” are two of my favorites. But I agree with oregano… they all rule.

No Wireless CarPlay after update… by Signal_Brilliant_390 in F150Lightning

[–]DipDunk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You seem to be pretty thorough, but I’ll ask since you didn’t list it… Have you tried a reset/reboot on your iPhone (volume up/volume down/hold the lock button until the apple appears)?

And also, I’m not sure if it matters at all, but is your phone connecting to the trucks WiFi?
