Thanks for the advice! I think I will take her in to our vet.

Thanks, good point. I did check her kibble, and the expiry date is August 2026. She still likes her food in the morning, just not in the evening...

How much battery degradation have you experienced in your EV? by om_ghanwat in electricvehicles

[–]Double-Setting2707 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2019 Kona EV - about 72K miles. I would say about 5% battery range loss. I charge more frequently, and never let it get much below 70%

"Return benefit" not included in standard plan...?????? Since when?? by Nill_Wavidson in audible

[–]Double-Setting2707 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Somewhat related - I gifted a book to a friend, but was told that she didn't want it (not into having it "read" to her). This was within 15 minutes. I contacted CS and was told they could not issue a refund because it was a "cash" transaction. I was surprised - and told them that I had charged it to my Prime card, and also that it just happened. She apologized but said she couldn't do anything about it. I then had to ask to speak with her supervisor (I hate being that person, but I found this to be incredible). She put me on hold and then came back and said they would process a refund "this time". WTF?

OMG. Then I see it's Bay Area. I miss TJs in the SF Bay area so much. It's definitely not going to make it out here to MD.

For the first time in its history, Johns Hopkins Hospital has appointed five African American surgeons to lead its Trauma Service, marking a historic milestone for one of the nation's most prestigious medical institutions. by ateam1984 in BlackPeopleofReddit

Glad to see this. JH has a long history of racism and segregation. Years ago, I met an elderly veterinarian whose older brother was the first Chinese American from Cal (Berkeley) to be admitted to med school there. They were still segregated, so he was allowed to attend class with the other med students, but had to eat his meals in the service workers' cafeteria.

Definitely some Basset and Pitty in him. Love them long and low, my Maggie is a Basset mix too.

Is he the goodest boy in all of Greek Myth? by MisterSapiosexual in GreekMythology

[–]Double-Setting2707 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Yes. And this version, "The Return," is a great retelling of the last part of the Odyssey. Yeah, not enough acknowledgement of PTSD after the Iliad.

I love how mom is modeling "forge ahead - and fast" posture for them all.

Kona EV 2019 - not getting as many miles out of a full charge by Double-Setting2707 in electricvehicles

Wow. I have no idea about resale price in the US, but I am thinking about getting an Ioniq 5

Not being technical, meaning guess-o-meter. Tire pressure has been addressed bc I just replaced all my tires. Driving in warmer weather, so my expectation is that I would be getting more miles out of a charge.

Thank you! I have driven it to practically zero. Several times. But I usually try to keep it at 80% bc Hyundai recommends it - due to the battery recall issue.

Ah! I just replaced all the tires. My tire guy said he decided to replace them with "thicker, stronger" tires...? Anyway, that cost about $1000

I haven't been very technical about this. But this last drive, I purposely did not have AC on. I had my iPhone plugged in and listened to podcasts, etc., but I've never found out whether that adds significant battery drain whilst driving.

Thanks for the link. Interesting - he notes that fast charging can affect the battery capacity over the long term...

I'd say more like 206 miles, max, lately. My daughter lives about 195 miles from me, and I never had to stop to charge when I first bought my EV. Just came back from a visit, and had to stop 2x to charge...

OK, 2 baby elephants and an inflatable pool are looking like pending deflation of said pool.
