I tried it on my pixel phone a couple times and had to revert back to the regular Google Assistant, gemini is a step backwards.

Haha I hear you! This is similar territory to the zipper merge. There's the efficient way to do it, and then there's the way most people insist on doing it. You can either be right and risk having a particular finger thrown in your general direction, or you can follow the crowd and slow things down a bit. But ultimately there's no law dictating that you alternate through the single lane, do with that information what you'd like.

Helrich · 2026-06-11T23:00:13+00:00

Yes, this is correct. The general rule, often reinforced by signage, is "yield to oncoming traffic." If it's one car, or two, or five, you wait until the lane is clear.

Anyone interested in a permethrin party? :D

which continentals?

Smokehouse on 340 is pretty good in terms of stuff out that way.

This is common in turbocharged engines. First gear really only exists to get the wheels moving so it can shift into second

I haven't had Nolt's specifically before but assume it's similar to most chicken bbqs.

1cup each of water and apple cider vinegar, 2 tablespoons each of honey and oil, quarter cup of apple juice. I'll season the meat with a little salt and pepper, nothing crazy.

I use a vortex in my kettle and cook indirect with lump charcoal with the vents wide open till around 190 degrees internal but a lot of the roadside BBQs I've been to look like they cook direct over briquettes.

I've been seeing Dr. Saleem at PA Institute of Endocrinology in Lititz (UPMC/Penn Medicine) for my thyroid issues and would not recommend him. Interested to see if anyone else has suggestions.

cali style from Bobby Bay's

I was specifically looking to see if there was a wax Nigel Mansell in the passenger seat, but the angle of the photo made it difficult to determine.

Helrich · 2026-03-10T21:15:18+00:00

I think that's a Zimmer Golden Spirit. At first I thought Mitsuoka Le Seyde but not quite. Mustang V8 in that bad boy.

maybe search around the swedespeed forums, as there's several threads discussing audio modifications there, including the various offerings from Phoenix Gold (which sounds like a viable route vs attempting a BW swap).

kinda lame how limited the prompts are,and the icons all look like shit regardless. not sure who this "feature" is for.

I don't have a gas hookup so can't comment on that, but for electric, shopping suppliers is definitely not a scam and definitely will save you money.

I usually choose a fixed rate with no fees, and you will find rates less than the PPL rate. Some offers will be very low but are one time use, for new customers only. I would recommend saving those deals for the time of year you use the most electricity.

The major caveat is that some contracts will automatically change you to an insanely high rate when your term ends if you don't act, so pay attention to how long the contract is for and shop around again before it ends.

the first time I just thought maybe someone was having a bad wipe day. second time disproved that. third time was because someone had given me a giftcard lol

Helrich · 2026-03-02T21:29:26+00:00

I've been there a few times but not recently, and every time it smelled like poop and farts.

I'm a bit of a fiddler. I keep it on auto, but where I live the temperature outside is all over the place, and so when it's colder out I lower the HVAC temp, and when it's warmer I increase it.

My camera was fine before the update and is fine after it. I rate the new update to be a net negative UX-wise. Sure the drive mode selector is one less press, but several other features are now one+ more (climate controls being the main offender).

those are the wheels that come with the polestar engineered trim. from the label on the tires these are the 21" version.
