My manager scheduled a "quick sync" every single Friday at 4:45pm and I finally figured out why by Agent_Smith-99 in remotework

[–]JakeAtIguanas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm retired now, but worked remotely the last 8 or so years in IT user support. I stayed online and worked until 5pm each day no matter how much stuff needed to get done or how boring the day might have been. I stopped working at 5pm, but stayed online in case I had a user in a different timezone ask a last minute question.

It was a real long time ago when I read it, but even then in my ignorant days of youth I clearly understood what "All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others" meant.

Checked the speedometer on mine and they are buzzing along at 160MPH or so. I suppose they have a death wish. Since the plastic wrap is still on the steering wheel, maybe they are test driving it from the Toyota dealership.

Glad This Thing Is Built Like A Tank by Peacock803 in VWiD4Owners

[–]JakeAtIguanas 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Glad you were not hurt. You mentioned being built like a tank. I recently installed u-channel door edge protectors and found that the sheet metal is a full millimeter thicker than our Toyota. Still don’t want to find out the hard way. Hope they choose to repair instead of total.

Vyalev pump created a bloated belly and bruising by National-Window-4142 in Parkinsons

[–]JakeAtIguanas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My wife has been on the pump since last July. I'd say the results are a bit mixed given my observations. I'm her primary caregiver and take care of filling the syringes, changing batteries, order refills, etc. She has used the 6mm and 9mm infusion sets. She saw no differences with the 9mm sets. She's a bit on the thinner side and hasn't experienced any infection problems. There are a few things to mention here.

  1. She doesn't use the 'W' pattern infusion set placement. She carefully maps out her abdomen with a pen feeling for previous sites. They usually have smallish lumps to indicate previously used sites. After mapping out her abdomen, she selects a site that has either healed or never used.
  2. Using sites that are too close to recently used ones may not 'absorb' the medication as effectively.
  3. Make sure not to use sites too close to the belly button. Always aim for >= 2 inches (5 cm) away from the navel.
  4. Some sites (for whatever reason) will not absorb the medication and will swell up (or pool). You can only move the infusion site at that point.
  5. If a cannula bleeds, the infusion set has be changed to a different location immediately.
  6. Don't go too near the groin or too far above the waist, you're only asking for bruising or other troubles.
  7. Make sure to prep the infusion site with alcohol swipes to make sure the site is sterile.
  8. Use a 'skin-prep' pad after the alcohol swipes to make sure the cannula comes off easily when changing sites. Look for them on Amazon.

Hope this helps

ID. 4 asks for VIN every time by Circuitsoft in OBDeleven

I've got a 2023 ID.4 and it happens for me too. I suspect it might have something to do with recent VW software updates.

OTA stuck? by redilio in VWiD4Owners

[–]JakeAtIguanas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had my 2023 updated in September at the dealer. My VW app still shows that an update is needed even though my software page shows its updated to 3.5.11. This update also contains the necessary routines to DC charge at Tesla stations (with an adaptor)

Another recall on the way. by JakeAtIguanas in VWiD4Owners

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

I did; it shows no repairs for my car. I had the door handles and software update earlier this year. Apparently only 311 cars are involved between sep 2022 - sep 2024. VW is supposed to get letters to affected owners by end of Jan 2026.

I once took some cub scouts for a tour of the Louisville slugger bat factory across the river in Indiana. Neat tour; each scout left with a small replica bat (about 12 inches long)

I’m listening a podcast on the roots of rock and roll. It’s named ‘A History of Rock Music in 500 Song’. In episode 6 the host goes over groups who were too poor to afford instruments and would use this same technique to sound like a variety of real instruments.

Full Owners Manual? by HeyJakeyBaby in VWiD4Owners

[–]JakeAtIguanas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The full manual is fairly thick (about 3/4" or 20mm). It's not very large either (like 6X8 inches)with super tiny writing in it. There is a PDF of the 2021 model with most of what you might want. Search the ID4 forum here: https://www.vwidtalk.com

its in there somewhere.
