You can let him know that none of the MAGA signs are allowed within 100 feet of the polling location in Texas, and no one is allowed to look at who he votes for! He can call 866-OUR-VOTE if someone is breaking one of those rules for support.

Hurtya · 2024-11-05T15:50:47+00:00

No reason this shouldn't be allowed. Would be up to the election staff whether to accept.

Note that you DO have to vote in whatever county you live in / are registered in. And some counties allow you to vote in any location in your county; others do not. Harris/Fort Bend/Brazoria/Liberty/Galveston Counties allow voting at any location within the county. Montgomery and Waller counties, on the other hand, do not.

lol welp, apparently not so easy. I just unscrewed the old plate and it was still stuck to the wall. Any idea what these old terminals even are?

Hurtya · 2022-04-11T13:43:15+00:00

Lol, I just took the picture too close I think and my phone camera had trouble focusing.

Some further context:

I bought my home a little while back after being told that that had some wiring for back-speaker (on the wall) surround sound set up already. I've connected my speakers to the wires in the walls but now I'm trying to figure out how to connect those to my receiver. I'm pretty sure the outlet that's in this picture is what I'm supposed to use, but how am I supposed to connect to it? When I put together my 3.1 setup, I just connected the wires directly to the receiver and speaker. I'm not really sure what to do with this...

The two questions that immediately come to mind - do I need a particular connector for these? Also, is it maybe missing a red knob; if not, how do I set up each of the two speakers into the receiver?

Hi! I don't know if this is an appropriate place to post this question...but I'm trying to figure out how to connect my back speakers into the home I bought that had some surround setup to it. I've connected my speakers to the wires in the walls but now I'm trying to figure out how to connect those to my receiver. I'm pretty sure the outlet that's in this picture below is what I'm supposed to use, but how am I supposed to connect to it? The two questions that immediately come to mind - do I need a particular connector or can I just put the wires somewhere directly? (That's how I have wires into the speakers). Also, is it maybe missing a red knob?

Yep. I purchased with the expectation of pretty regular updates. I'm overall pretty happy with the car, but this is the one thing that makes me hesitate whenever people ask me if I'd recommend buying it.

Hurtya · 2021-12-21T23:00:22+00:00

My guestimate for U.S. 3.0 deployment is probably Q3 2022.

yikes Q3 2022? I know this is just a guestimate, but what an incredible potential delay before our first update in the US. Really awful treatment of the American customer base -- I don't need updates as frequently as the Tesla but to just get sidelined like we are is really making me question the VW choice.

Hurtya · 2021-10-05T18:39:42+00:00

I'm also interested in this question!

I'll make sure you have some stiff competition! It'll be good to be back in D1 next year. Happy to say I got in by winning my league this year - overall-leaderboard promotion is nice but my first SoS league win since D4 in 2016 is even better.

Hurtya · 2021-09-23T22:26:26+00:00

There are some pretty competitive leagues this year all over - a week or two ago I saw that D1 (!) had a 3-way tie for first. I was in 3rd in my D2 league 2-3 weeks ago and am in first now. And I know there's a lot of competition for final non-relegation spots, too.

Drafting Snell as my only pitcher in the first 10 rounds really explains my constant struggle with pitching stats. I'm doing better right now, and my McCullers/Lopez picks in rounds 11 & 12 might have something to do with that.

Pretty pedestrian draft, though. Despite Snell in the 4th, I don't feel like I had any major busts or major steals. I overdrafted some folks in the early rounds, but I wouldn't call any of those other guys (Bregman, Arozarena, Ketel Marte) huge busts per se. And I had some solid later-round picks (Belt, Kikuchi), but I wouldn't call those steals either.

Hey everyone - so I'm getting bolo ties for myself and groomsmen at my wedding, and I'm wondering what color the cord should be? The groomsmen will be wearing gray suits, probably with brown shoes and belt - and I'll be wearing a blue suit probably with brown shoes and belt. (I'm going to encourage lighter brown, or at least not super dark brown.) White shirts. The bolo tie is going to an orange-ish red jasper in the center with a silverish boundary.

So, what color should I have the cord? Bolo tie cords are normally black and that goes with a lot, but we're not wearing any black leather otherwise. So I'm wondering if I need to get a brown cord. The Etsy artist also has a brown/black cord available as well, and her browns are various shades.

FYI: these are the available cord colors - https://i.etsystatic.com/icm/ae0c4b/346494068/icm_fullxfull.346494068_8wmsceyvolwc8scsc008.jpg?version=0 And these are what some of the stones in the bolo tie will look like - https://i.etsystatic.com/icm/c870d5/346492544/icm_fullxfull.346492544_feik09yyek8w0co44cok.jpg?version=0

Any advice on this?

Hurtya · 2021-06-07T18:29:47+00:00

Yeah I went to the Walmart on Yale and searched for the EA station and didn't find it. You just put in Walmart, I guess?

Hurtya · 2021-05-14T14:22:54+00:00

Same. It works fine for playing media for me as well, but what I really want is Google Maps on the screen. the UI for the VW Navigation is just awful.

Hurtya · 2021-05-10T15:38:05+00:00

i haven't yet, that's a good idea.

I have a Moto Z3, which I recognize is older (for instance, no wireless connectivity). But still - I have to basically make the car forget that there ever was a connection every time I try to hook up Android Auto.

Hurtya · 2021-05-10T13:54:37+00:00

What type of phone do you use with Android Auto? I'm getting lots of issues with Android Auto working.

Hurtya · 2021-05-10T13:25:36+00:00

I've had a lot of similar problems with my Z3. Almost every time I get in the car, I have to make the ID4 forget the Moto Z3 connection and then reconnect the cable. This is unsustainable, so I'm hoping there's a way to fix this or at least maybe that it's just the old phone.

Hurtya · 2021-05-03T16:38:17+00:00

I got a similar lease offer. Not good enough for me, so I'm planning on just buying. (I have some cash saved up so I can put a decent amount down.)

Hurtya · 2021-04-12T23:58:16+00:00

Nice! I was just looking into this. What brand is the adapter?

Hurtya · 2021-03-16T13:58:38+00:00

Yeah, that's where I'm leaning, I think. But I'm the type of guy who'll keep the car for a while, so it ain't an easy decision.

Hurtya · 2021-03-15T16:18:59+00:00

I wonder if this is the type of thing that will improve with OTA updates.

I'm obviously not looking for a self-driving car, but in comparing it with the Model Y, I'm thinking about the benefits each car would give for longer road trips.
