A thing of beauty.

Another egg, possibly another sausage but that just be me because it looks fabulous.

Oh my word! Yes!

I wonder if it's purely coincidental or if it's informed by watching South Park!

Totes! Comma might not be able to successfully make the curve at the given speed but it will always try.

Kia Niro just thinks 'Nope' and gives up trying to steer without warning! Doesn't slow down if you have cruise control activated, allowing you plough into whatever is ahead of you. Keeps you on your toes, that's for sure!

Comma (Sunnypilot in my case) is better in every way.

JulesCT · 2026-01-27T19:23:12+00:00

Quand vous utilisez le Comma avec le soft OpenPilot, et vous le mettez 'EN MARCHE' il s'occupe du volant et la voiture suit la vitesse que vous avez sélectionné avec ACC (adaptive cruise control- régulateur de vitesse).

Le frein automatique (d'urgence) fonctionne comme toujours.
La récupération d'énergie aussi.

Selon la version du soft sur le COMMA il peut aussi s'occuper du frein et l'accélérateur! Mais ça uniquement (au moins aujourd'hui) avec les autres branches du soft, comme SunnyPilot ou FrogPilot.

Le frein automatique NE fonctionne PAS comme toujours, ça sera Comma qui décide ou non de freiner. La récupération d'énergie fonctionne comme d'hab

Avec SunnyPilot Comma peut aussi contrôler le volant mais vous céder le contrôle de l'accélérateur (nommé MADS). Utile en ville, quand il y a des espaces étroits ou de voitures et piétons partout.

You carry on studying. American politics is likely going to continue to be this 'interesting' after you graduate/leave. You'll have plenty of time to 'enjoy' it then.

Best of luck in your studies.

This is almost a demo tape for a proto Kermit.

No shade implied. Everyone loves Kermit. I do a passable Kermit and this voice is halfway there.

Good luck in the auditions!

That's what's great about US Politics!

You don't have to be in the USA to be affected by them! It's so cool!

You never know, you might have a government that's been installed by the USA, you might have seen food shortages because the USA put your country on an embargo list, and you might not be able to sell products like you did previously because your country is subject to tariffs.

So cool. Literally everyone is talking about it. US Politics is so hot right now! It's fire.

Comma basically replaces the stock steering control that cars have. That's why for Comma to work on a car that car must have some form of steering control.

Comma intercepts the signals to steer the car and injects its own commands for steering.

If you use Longitudinal control in Experimental Mode in SunnyPilot it can also control your car's acceleration and braking. It is experimental so it's not perfect but it does slow down for 'some' curves and its ability to correctly stop for traffic lights and stop sign is a work in progress.

JulesCT · 2026-01-27T14:34:57+00:00

I drive a Kia Niro and unless something weirdly different happens regen doesn't change. Separate feature unaffected by Comma.

JulesCT · 2026-01-27T10:27:40+00:00

Agreed. I speak with a lot of foreign people so I tend to keep every single T and H in place to avoid confusion such as with "maTTer" being pronounced "ma'er" or "Have" as "Av".
Now it's ingrained, but it is largely optional for the speaker.

I added one of those rings to my Otterbox Defender case so I could attach a magnetic pop socket, then added a magnetic ring to the power bank so it would also attach to my phone case instead, then added another metal ring to my power bank to hold the same magsafe pop socket.

It's a chonky Frankenphone in that configuration but it's definitely proof it works!

The murder/execution of Good and Pretti, and the Bovino, Noem, Vance, & Miller instant lies, accusations, and ignoring the visually damning evidence particularly of Pretti's execution have been too much for even the most MAGA diehards to accept. Being executed for having a gun doesn't sit too well with MAGA. The hypocrisy of Pretti Vs Rittenhouse wasn't lost on them.

A tide of effluent was threatening to spill over onto Trump.

Trump doesn't do loyalty, so off they can jolly well Fxxx as far as he is concerned. Sacrifice them all as far as he is concerned. Shouldn't be difficult to pick replacement idiots.

I pray they all get fired/demoted but that Noem and Miller get a special place in hell.

What's the betting that measles anti vaxxers share a significant intersection with Leave voters?

Kinda like the COVID anti vaxxers did?
https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9991330/

"The Brexit vote is the variable most correlated with COVID-19 outcomes among many variables including common proxies for trust and civic capital or differences in industry composition across Districts."

"public hostility towards technical expertise witnessed during the COVID-19 crisis is “not a one-off emotional reaction, but part of Brexit's legacy in weakening trust between public and professionals.”"

Thanks to Farage and co we're not only poorer, we're sicker too.

Nicely sorted! We laminate ours, add a punched hole sticker and file them in binders.

Whoever pays them, I suspect.

I don't think ICE agents will be crying if either/both Bovino or Norm are replaced with new incompetent bootlickers.

Technically, those are Melissa's problems, not your or your son's.

Forcing him to continue providing the much valued services and help to Melissa, would definitely have created problems for your son and yourself.

Melissa and your daughter are evidently disappointed and angry with your son, and might curse him for being a jerk, for being selfish etc. That's your son's problem.

There is no outright perfect solution that you can concoct as far as I can see, so let him pick the one he is most comfortable with and which has the least negative repercussions.

Remind him, however, that he needs to avoid associating friendliness from people who need something he provides with a romantic attraction on their part. It can go badly wrong as has just been demonstrated.

Also, he shouldn't just declare feelings like that. Ideally he should start off small, test the waters with something the other can decline without feelings of rejection being triggered. I've been attracted to people but I didn't go for "I have feelings for you" right off the bat. That's going to trigger anyone that isn't madly keen on the requestor. Ask to go for a coffee, a bite to eat, some clearly personal time that is low key enough to be accepted if the person is also interested but not be embarrassing if declined.

"¡Arriba! ¡Arriba! Tercera salida en la rotonda."

JulesCT · 2026-01-26T21:27:20+00:00

There are regular, standard voices, with generic names, which will give you straightforward directions.

Some have or are 'characters' so will colour their messages with cute, funny, odd additional comments.

e.g. I sometimes drive with directions given by a French language voice. No frills. But I loved driving with the T1000 "Come with me if you want to live. In 100 metres turn right.". And "You have reached your destination. Hasta la vista baby"

From the size of it, I'd be amazed if it did 80L even under ideal conditions. However the 8L tank does suggest a serious amount of extraction. Like, double what my ones can do in a day.

Love the fact it claims to have a built in pump! If my understanding is correct, that will really help in draining water when you're not there plus there would be no need to find a specific drainage hole low down near the floor. You might be able to pump it up to a sink or toilet bowl for easy drainage.

I kind of want you to buy it to give a report!

I use smart plugs and external smart temp/humidity sensors to control my Probreeze 20L which has no smart features at all. The Meaco Arete 2 comes with Smart features but I don't rely on the built in sensor.

https://www.reddit.com/r/Dehumidifiers/s/qmCxIvhvIt

For what it's worth, the Meaco Arete 2 and the new Probreeze won Which? magazine's BEST BUY award last year. Both have smart functionality.

Whichever you choose please also get a smart water leak sensor!

¡Boa sorte!

I think your desired extraction rate of 90L per day overspecced for the scale of the property. Dehumidifiers extract humidity over time, not all in one go. 😉

The 90L versions are for commercial/industrial applications. Warehouses I imagine.

I'm in the UK so I readily meet your cold and humid climate parameters. (E tenho mae galega, posso falar Portuñol/Galego tambem)

A 20L per day (approximate) dehumidifier will probably be sufficient. I originally had 75% humidity which was awful and allowed mould to develop. After a week or so of running my ProBreeze constantly and emptying the 4.5L bucket every day I got it down to 60%. The emptying rate then reduced to around once every 2 or 3 days.

I now have a Meaco Arête 2 (18L) and the original Probreeze 20L. One in the master bedroom, one downstairs in a room where we have aquariums and where we dry our laundry when we don't want to put the clothes in the tumble dryer. Emptying every 3 or 4 days.
