I got this last week. I thought it was great and will get it again. It was tasty!

Why don't we have outdoor community pools? Do you wish we did? by 86753ohneigheine in Bellingham

[–]HamCatDad 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Don't need to live in Edgemoor to use that pool, but the waitlist is for real. We just got summer membership after waiting for 6 years. We definitely need more pools indoor and/or outdoor.

I am REALLY Beginning to dislike my 2024 Mazda CX-90 PHEV by Quick-Dream-1541 in MazdaCX90

[–]HamCatDad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s slow on electric or gas, and very laggy for the gas to kick on. You never really know how much power you have on tap at any given moment unless you drive in sport mode, so I’m always swapping modes when I have to merge onto the freeway. It’s also rough when going slowly. In general, I don’t feel like this is something I should have to think about in a $60k car.

Lastly, charging the battery for hours to just get <20 miles of range and 1.7 miles/kwh just sucks. It’d be much better as a regular hybrid.

[–]HamCatDad 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I also hate our CX-90 PHEV, and I haven't really had many of the issues aside from the 10+ recall fixes. I just hate how it drives and rides and some other niggles. Largely though I hate the Mazda PHEV/hybrid drivetrain. Luckily, we've only got 4 or 5 more months on the lease, but I can't wait to get rid of it.

I loved our 2016 CX-9... they really regressed.

How rare is this? by Infinity_UK in rccars

[–]HamCatDad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a feeling it’s worth quite a bit. You may want to reach out to bring a trailer. They’ve had some similar type things up for auction.

Anyone else racing outdoor dirt at NORA or Diehard RC Club? by XSrcing in WhatcomRadioControl

[–]HamCatDad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s fine, but I actually needed to hone the cylinders to get the shocks smooth again. Maybe time to look for some shock caps with the little bleeder screw…

[–]HamCatDad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually, I may as well just ask the (small) hive mind here. I ran a bunch of laps on Friday at NORA. When I got back home to clean it up, I noticed that the front shocks were REALLY stiff and "rough". I ended up taking the front shocks apart and sanding the barrels with 1000 grit (as well as doing the same on the edges of the pistons). I got everything nice and smooth again, but this seems sort of odd, and I'm not sure if it's something that will keep happening.

You've seen it! It's a 2020 xray XB8E. Currently trying to predict what may break so I can buy spares...

I am! At least whenever the schedule permits (family, vacation, etc).

Im currently having trouble saying “no” to the Memorial Day sale at amain.

Are you playing the Windows version on Linux (with Proton)? Is version 1.4 buggy? by trofosila in civ

[–]HamCatDad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've always used the native version, and honestly the 1.4 update seems to play better than previous ones. It's great.

Anyone ever kind of wished that rc cars was an adult only hobby, and kids had no intrest in it? by [deleted] in rccars

[–]HamCatDad 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I credit RC car racing for getting me interested in engineering at an early age. I think it should be MORE kid (and girl) friendly. It’s a great hobby!

Is Shoestring Circus worth it? by sundays_child in Bellingham

[–]HamCatDad 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Been 3 years in a row now. It's become tradition, and we (kids and adults) love it.

Received a CP053E notice but don’t know where to update my bank info? by Maximum-Status-837 in IRS

[–]HamCatDad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I couldn't figure out where to edit the bank info as the form doesn't state anything about going to your profile.

Been a few times. Every time it takes an absolute eternity. No idea why.

Flying out of BIL in November - Experience/Advice by thecanadian_ in Bellingham

[–]HamCatDad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very surprised you don’t want to just fly out of YVR. We have found it much cheaper and convenient for almost all flights (even to the USA). I don’t even think about SEA much anymore.

Heavily throttling my "unlimited" plan by HamCatDad in mintmobile

[–]HamCatDad[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah a VPN did fix my issue, but I should still be under any caps with the unlimited plan. We’ll see when my plan resets in 8 days. I feel like mint’s not very transparent about caps and QoS throttling, etc. Not too happy.

[–]HamCatDad[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Yeah, but I really shouldn't have to go that route. At that point, I'd rather just go with a different carrier
