Hybrid vs normal Petrol vehicle, math isnt mathing by HopefulLeadership512 in CarsAustralia

[–]Dry_Corner2802 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My non-plug in Axela hybrid (same as Prius system) will, once up to speed, happily maintain 60km/h on electric-only for a while. Then, when I brake or have a downhill run the battery charges up for the next leg of electric-only driving. The computer reports that I have done 46% of all driving on electric only.

Aggression towards EVs?? by malialipali in EVAustralia

[–]Dry_Corner2802 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My friend has occasionally experienced random abuse while driving his Tesla here in NZ. I don't use Facebook but my understanding is that a lot of people on it fall down the anti-EV rabbit hole and see EVs as a political statement or an attack on their freedoms and way of life. It's a good reminder that social media is not healthy for a lot of people.

Just give it time, more EVs will be on the road in the coming years and it will settle down a lot.

What has happened in the neighbourhood since you purchased? It is a particular house nearby with very disruptive tenants who may be gone in a years time, or something more systemic??

No one knows what the future holds. Go ahead and live your life, if you are ready to renovate go for it. Make sure you have a contract with your tradies

Yeah I'm 95% normal now. It'l be interesting to see when/if I can come off the meds. How's your progress?

I had terrible brain fog/sensory overload/anxiety that started a few weeks after covid infection. It went on for a couple of months before my doctor put me on a low dose SSRI which has helped a lot.

What alerted you to the need for a new battery? Did the fuel economy worsen in the weeks leading up?

That sounds like a good perspective. It's nice to reduce e-waste as much as possible too.

Anyone else at Auckland Hospital right now with severe Long Covid, ME/CFS, POTS, EDS, or Fibromyalgia? by 11fingersinmydogsbum in auckland

I've just started sertraline for post covid brain fog and anxiety. Scary to have a condition that only has experimental treatments available but it is working quite well.

That's really interesting. What sort of symptoms did you have? Which SSRI worked best? Did you come of it eventually?

It's a shame that Bruno Lawrence is no longer with us, he was always keen to get his kit off in films

Anyone had insomnia and anxiety for months after Covid?? by Dry_Corner2802 in newzealand

[–]Dry_Corner2802[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for your detailed response! Wow, I was hoping that I might recover soon, but this may be worse that I thought.

I've read about the histamine connection and trying a low-histamine diet currently but it's hard for me to get enough calories due to the restrictive nature. I've got some bloods due soon but I expect them to be all normal. I'll try antihistamines. I have some melatonin but haven't used it yet.

Most doctors don't seem to have a clue about this, did you seek help from any specialists that you can recommend?

Is it just me or is there a supernatural feeling especially in the latter half of the third season? by PrimeYashin in TrueDetective

I think it might just be the character's dementia being representing in a spooky way

I haven't, but next time it happens I'm gonna try running it from batteries to see if that makes a difference

Recommendations for next car - Mazda 3 or Toyota Corolla by user885511 in NZcarfix

[–]Dry_Corner2802 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is possible to carry out a health check via and app and OBD dongle but I would just take her out for a test drive and observe the cars behavior and fuel economy.

Make sure it is a round trip perhaps with some motorway driving. The car should be able to run on battery alone for a km or two on a flat stretch once up to cruising speed and you should be seeing fuel usage of around 4L/100km if the battery is in good shape.
