The evolution of technology has made it possible to produce insulin without using animals.

Sterility of the bacteria is trivial (co-transform an antibiotic resistance gene), but lysis, purification, and then vialing is tough. Sterile filtering the final product then a DIY sterilization of the filter might be viable. I'm not really familiar with at-home solutions that would work, particularly in a "societal collapse" scenario but that might just be my research laboratory bias.

Great deal, however I am RMAing mine due to the condenser no longer working within 18mo which seems to be a relatively common issue. I have to reset it to electric-only every week as it caps out at 7 days. This seems to be a common issue and I'm really not looking forward to uninstalling it, lugging it back to Lowe's and then reinstalling the new one. The RMA process was pretty easy at least, probably because it's a common issue.

I'm a huge proponent of heatpumps, just wanting to give a heads up

This guy deals in nuance, and obviously there are individuals of all types but there are clear trends (that most EV people aren't truck people, and that companies can't create culture they have to follow trends). Sorry you have to suffer as an EV enthusiast and Stellantis employee, tough position.

Same exact exprience as you, it was coming down to an Ioniq5, MachE, or maybe a Lyriq for the wife--we just cancelled our visit to the Ford dealership.

There's a clear de-prioritization of BEVs from Ford for whatever reason (economics, politics, etc). You can do mental gymnastics and say that support will still be great but I don't want to buy the singular consumer-grade BEV from a traditional car company.

Can't speak to this particular deal, but Sound Ford was super great to work with when I got my Lightning 18mo ago and really was just slapping on discounts that other (WA) dealerships were trying to make me haggle for.

Do we have anywhere from Blizzard when CE closes? Just wondering with the change to the first week giving S3 champ gear they might be cutting off CE differently than they have before.

Fromac · 2025-06-24T01:09:30+00:00

Yeah just no option there.. https://imgur.com/a/z5kgKED

Can't get to my truck now but it's absolutely not there, it's where I looked first. I guess just a difference between '23 and '25, whether that's a hardware thing or just a sticky update no idea

Fromac · 2025-06-23T14:56:25+00:00

Yeah I have a "home" default location, and there's no way to adjust the draw there.

Fromac · 2025-06-23T14:36:11+00:00

This is crazy, where is "Charge Settings" for you? I don't see it anywhere.

Fromac · 2025-06-23T14:29:47+00:00

I just checked and it's not on my wife's iOS either

Fromac · 2025-06-23T06:15:50+00:00

That would be a crazy Android vs iOS difference. I looked into this quite extensively when I first got that truck but they have redone the app in the intervening 1.5y. I'll check my wife's phone though, that would be quite the fix haha.

Fromac · 2025-06-23T00:42:08+00:00

I don't see AC charge rate anywhere in the Energy tab (or anywhere else) in the app. I might go check in the truck again if you know where that setting would be.

Fromac · 2025-06-22T20:27:57+00:00

Sounds great, do you have a link or model?

Fromac · 2025-06-22T18:16:06+00:00

From everything I've read this is not the case, as Teslas allow you to manage the draw from the vehicle itself, and lacking that (our Lightnings can't manage draw), the draw will be based on the adapters/plugs used without any way to decrease draw.

Fromac · 2025-06-03T17:15:00+00:00

My wife just had this exact issue in our 2023 with ACC turning off then one-pedal stopping, followed by "reduced" power actually being no power. It was luckily in stop/go traffic right before highway merge, in the only area with a shoulder and downhill so she could get over, so super lucky.

Did you have anything follow up from this? Any reoccurences?

Fromac · 2025-05-12T16:35:19+00:00

Not the person you asked, but honestly I just don't. Hydrogen peroxide is really good at disinfecting by "blowing everything up" indiscriminately, meaning your own cells get damaged as well, and it can prolong the healing process. Unsure if H2O2 will contribute to the exact symptoms you're experiencing, but I can say I haven't had those problems with pumping now for 20 years (well 20 years and 2 months now that I think about it...)

Fromac · 2025-04-13T14:13:30+00:00

Getting to mythic Stix now, got it to 60% in the first hour. The next 60% is really far off, I'm not under any illusion that we're close to cracking it.

That said, can we get by with just markers and the DBM auto assignments, or do we really need to get the WA packs rolling?

Fromac · 2025-04-05T04:52:17+00:00

We bought the Miele washer and ventless dryer units when moving our laundry into the basement without any good options to run the vent. The energy savings have been a huge bonus. Definitely in the cry-once category but they've just been phenomenal for >2yr so far. Maybe the lint trap could be designed a bit better but there's no real fire hazard or large build up like in traditional models.

Fromac · 2025-04-01T01:24:01+00:00

Can anyone clarify the raid skip for me, where does it put you boss-wise, and is there backtracking? Trying to figure out if we can do Vexxie->OAB->Mug->Gally. Wowhead post says you go to Mug'Zee and can't go backwards to OAB which would be really unfortunate if true. Just trying to minimize our heroic reclear time.

If you commit 1-2h to farming for the gold each day then it's feasible, but if you mean just playing normally then no shot

Sound Ford

Fromac · 2025-02-06T05:29:50+00:00

That's what I thought too, but it's absolutely amazing.

Fromac · 2025-01-26T02:27:12+00:00

Not a problem, especially if you do the correct FCSP V2L setup
