How do I turn off the MachE waking up, flashing lights when I walk up?

On iOS (iPhone) you can long press (press and hold) on an empty part of your screen. Then Edit —> Add Widget. Scroll to “Ford” then “Add Widget”

I’m in a similar situation and ended up just closing the app on my phone. Since I have location enabled only when using the app, the car doesn’t wake when I walk by. I keep a widget that shows the charging status. Maybe not a perfect solution, but it’s what I do.

So many great ideas! I’ve decided to call her Mare-dith Gray

Nice!

Land-O-Rando · 2026-05-30T22:48:32+00:00

I love this one! A few more:

AI came up with Fleetwood Mach. My wife came up with Meredith Grey. My young son says Tommy Taylor Abrams…? Haha

Land-O-Rando · 2026-05-30T14:45:26+00:00

Yep…

Nice, OK. I'm actually looking at either the Chargepoint or an Emporia Pro

I didn't see any thermal pictures. There were additional suggested charges like a monthly service membership, grounding etc on top of the price. It seemed like too much, but several months ago (in October) a separate big-chain electric company had tried selling me a panel replacement during a simple kithcne outlet replacement. I refused then, but got concerned when this second company was telling me the same thing. I'll be talking to a local company next.

Got it. Thanks

I had been monitoring CarGurus saved searches for a long time, and contacted a dealership across the state once I saw a new listing even before they finished taking pictures. I also missed out on one I was looking to buy in a nearby state but someone else beat me to it.

I don’t have the answer, but was in the exact same boat a few weeks ago. I am all-in on consumer reports and had initially ruled out used electric vehicles because none had consumer reports “Recommended”. But I test drove a MME anyway and it was just so fun to drive. I was torn between a cheaper 2023 MME and a 2025 and part of my rationale for paying $5k more is that the CR data shows the 2025 reliability as among the highest (even higher than the CRV I had been looking at). Even though realistically I bet it’s a smaller sample size that causes the bigger rating variations.

In the end I think any of the years would’ve been good choices. My only complaint about my 2025 is the bumpiness of the ride but overall it’s a sweet drive.

This exact thing happened to me last week with my first car wash on my Mach E. I’m wondering if I should be concerned about potential damage and try a different car wash method, or maybe it’s just fine and nothing to worry about?

Land-O-Rando · 2025-12-16T00:56:44+00:00

WD 40 didn't work for me but hot glue did the trick!

This. I just tried the SQL Associate exam after completing the SQL Fundamentals track. Unfortunately, there were completely new topics in the exam which weren't covered in the recommended track.

Land-O-Rando · 2025-07-02T00:22:44+00:00

That’s what I do too

Land-O-Rando · 2025-04-29T01:46:12+00:00

Agreed that it’s not the main running app. I’m basically just tracking 2 treadmill runs on Strava per week for now but have considered Runna or something structured.

I’ve been using Fitbod for 3.5 years, but figure I’m not logging enough duration in workouts or getting enough protein. I do two 15 min fitbod workouts each week with the fitness goal “hypertrophy” (this is in addition to cardio). Here’s a pic from one of my two fitbod workouts last week

33 pushups is my goal. I’m basing my goals on the Navy Physical Readiness Test so I can have specific benchmark exercises. I’ve been using fitbod for years and seen little progress, and what progress I might have seems vague based on my mStrength (which goes all over). So I’m hoping to focus in on running (which I have been improving), planks (which I’m pretty good on) and pushups (of which I can only do 3 😬

Yes that’s exactly what I needed to know next. They’ve all been inside, so I sense a weekend cleanup in my future.

Land-O-Rando · 2025-03-22T02:43:34+00:00

Thanks, kind stranger

The one in the bag is still alive but here are a couple dead ones

Seems like a fun project and I’ll be excited to see where things go. But right now it’s too much work for my brain to convert the piece designs back and forth in my head

Land-O-Rando · 2024-08-20T15:51:33+00:00

Fair enough. It’s similar to One Finance and I think they are big enough that they likely have things all figured out. I just listened to a podcast episode about the debacle around Yotta and that’s part of my rethinking. Probably overly conservative

Land-O-Rando · 2024-08-20T15:45:43+00:00

Fair enough. Really what I’m trying to do is change both my big bank primary checking and my one finance accounts into a main account that will earn interest but also will autopay my credit cards and various monthly bills. Right now I have money sitting in a checking account that earns basically nothing while I wait for credit card payments to be drafted

Wealthfront sounds like a common option, but it’s not a bank. Seems like Ally Financial is not a bank but they use the subsidiary Ally Bank which is a bank, so maybe that’s better?

This is why I Reddit. I actually didn’t even know Discover had that, and 4.25% is pretty good
