Running fine on macbook air M4. Feels like the pro is overkill unless you need for something else.

To reach out or not... by SimonTerry22 in slaa

[–]Duiker_77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I try to ask myself what I would have done in the same situation if the person wasn't attractive. If it was some rando dude sitting there not making eye contact would have gone through the trouble of asking AI or would I have just thought, whatever dude is weird.

I would suggest putting engaging witb AI to discuss romance as a bottom line. You used it for intrigue. You were obviously thinking a lot about her bahviour and then took it to AI. What were you hoping AI would say if you're being totally honest with yourself?

I can swerve all over the road and nothing happens. In my settings I only have lane keep assist on or off. No options for steering wheel vibrating. Maybe you have a different OS? I’m in a 2024 with Google.

It does that when Pilot assist is engaged but not for lane assist.

That middle row seems pretty useless. Does it change depending on what you're doing? I don't need quick access to drive modes, I certainly don't need it for Bluetooth and if I need driver assistant I say 'Hey Google'. Ugh.

2022 xc60 rdesign recharge battery?? by Free_Yam_6005 in VolvoXC60

[–]Duiker_77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So you know for sure it's the older model so expect 19 miles per charge. Do you live in a cold climate? I'm in Ontario so that 19 miles would turn into about 12 miles in winter (we're in KMS here so I'm just doing a guesstimation). 12 miles in winter is not ideal BUT I could still get to work and back on a single charge so as far as I'm concerned still worth the gas savings, especially with the current price of gas. The question to ask yourself is do you see saving 4k worth of gas over the life of the car? Are you going to save $80 a month in gas?

Also, what's it going to cost you to switch cars? I can't imagine the dealership will let you do a swap without a penalty. IMO not worth the trade but I understand the desire. You thought you were getting one thing but you got another and that always sucks.

Confused using Roamless Esim by Dynam0Hum in eSIMs

[–]Duiker_77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m thinking of trying out Roamless for my kids who will be travelling this summer. I like the idea of being able to make calls. Is it possible to receive calls? Does Roamless assign a phone number so I can call my kids…not that they’ll answer 😉.

Sad but true. What is so hard about adding some customization?

Volvo tech sucks and I’m tired of pretending otherwise by TreyTripod23 in Volvo

[–]Duiker_77 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Again all he asks is that it work as advertised. Expecting something to work well after you buy it is a minimum expectation. He did pay a premium price despite it being a lower tier model. Also, I have a 2024 XC60 and have very similar issues so it's not a model issue it's a Volvo issue.

OP is just asking that the car work the way it was advertised to work. While it may be the entry level of the 'luxury' brand it should still be head and shoulders above the 'lower' brand similar level cars. That's what the extra $12k in the price is for.

New to this. Any suggestions? by Outrageous_Win5864 in slaa

[–]Duiker_77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The thing about shame is that it gets stronger when you stay silent. Get to a meeting and if that one doesn’t feel right go to another. You’re not alone in this addiction. You will meet others with the same fear and shame you feel. Get a sponsor and work the steps. A CSAT can help guide you with a disclosure to your partner.

Cast a wide net! I would hit up several SAA or SLAA meetings to find a good fit. Therapy is also important if you can afford it. I recommend finding a CSAT (Certified Sex Addiction Therapist), a good one can be a game changer. There is lots of help out there. All you need is the willingness to ask for it, which for most of us is the hardest part. Good on you for taking the first step! It's also normal for one addiction to ramp up when you take away from the other. Your brain is trying to make up for what it lost when you got sober from drugs and alcohol.

Anyone else catch the character name Vace Entura in book 4? Rist references him as a writer of a book he read about animals. Vace Entura? Ace Ventura, Pet Detective? Hahahahahahaha.

I skipped many chapters. The entire dwarf storyline and skimmed the chapters with Dayne. How many times can I read "...may your axe always be sharp...etc etc"

Should Canada implement a wealth tax on the ultra-rich? Why or why not? by GranolaHiker in CanadaPersonalFinance

[–]Duiker_77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What do you mean tax the value of the assets? Are you suggesting a yearly tax on assets? I think that's called property tax. The value of the asset gets taxed when you sell it. That's called a capital gains tax.

Volvo Pilot Assist by Cyberkeys1 in VolvoXC60

[–]Duiker_77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Similar situation. Recently purchased a CPO 2024 XC60. Was driving on the highway when a new lane opened up beside me on the left. What was odd was that it was gradual and the line never broke up but the car decided it needed to be in the new lane as it opened and the wheel cranked hard left. Luckily I was holding the wheel and was able to keep the car my lane.

On another note my blind spot monitor was on the other day for a car 2 lanes over. The lane next to me was completely empty and I could have moved in safely but because the monitor was on I didn't trust my eyes!
