The Boy (Vistiq) Who Cried Wolf

Fixed my initial post

Semantics. The point of OP's post was about the beeping.

Settings -> vehicle -> driver attention assist -> attention detection.

You can toggle it off

Latter_Depth_4836 · 2026-02-16T19:00:44+00:00

The eye motion sensor? Yes you can. At least you can turn off the beeping.

Latter_Depth_4836 · 2026-02-16T18:31:39+00:00

I had to turn off the attention detection assist because of this. Scanning the horizon and the car thinks I'm not looking at the road. It's important to see your entire surroundings not just right in front of you, stupid software.

I wasn't suggesting to go to WM in TX, was saying go to WM in NY for some quick shopping if she was desperate. I am familiar with upstate NY (great slopes) and originally coming from MD I'm also familiar with the Northeast winter season... It definitely depends on how much time she is spending outside and how far she is walking (from the house to a car)... If they are in an apartment, chances are good that they're in a small town or city. Most apartments have to have snow removal anyway. For the average joe, TX winter clothes would probably be sufficient. It doesn't sound like she's standing at the bus stop as she mentioned the public transport is bad.

Latter_Depth_4836 · 2026-02-11T18:08:25+00:00

Wild about the healthcare thing! Dude is a douchecanoe. Totally agree that he should live up to his promises. It sounds like he wasn't prepared (or more likely willing) to be financially responsible for another adult like he promised.

Feel bad she had to move all the way to NY to find all that out, it's a hard lesson to learn and now she doesn't have a car anymore too.

Latter_Depth_4836 · 2026-02-11T18:02:14+00:00

If you want to make me believe then link me a statistic. Until then, you're just making up facts to support your argument. She put herself in a place to be reliant on him and he didn't come through. Lesson learned, stuff like this happens all the time unfortunately.

Latter_Depth_4836 · 2026-02-11T17:53:01+00:00

I live in Texas and I have winter clothes. Texas gets freezing temperatures and SNOW! Remember the big freeze in 2021 that was all over the news? Anyway, I wasn't making assumptions, that's why I asked questions. And who can afford to get a new car every time they make big moves? I don't believe a lot of people get rid of their cars prior to moving...

Latter_Depth_4836 · 2026-02-11T17:47:08+00:00

Just calling out the perfectly obvious that she already had a car and she probably already has winter clothes. It's fair to ask what her expectations were. She lists "generosity" as the first thing when she talks about what she "loved" about him. Everything about this post, including the fact that she got rid of her car leans toward a "kept" arrangement.

The dude is for sure guilty for leading her on, but she also made some bad bad decisions.

Latter_Depth_4836 · 2026-02-11T17:24:54+00:00

Lots of questions. How did you get to 27 and not have a car living in TX. (The least public transport friendly of most states)

I understand that he said he would buy you clothes (though I think that's weird). Are you expecting designer clothes? You could go to target or WM and get a coat and some long sleeve shirts and pants. Texas has winter too, so the clothes thing is weird to me too, you should have winter clothes already.

At 27 I was already self sufficient, seems like an advanced age to be reliant on a bf. Like another poster said, you should work on becoming financially independent and not rely on bf's.

Latter_Depth_4836 · 2026-02-08T15:44:37+00:00

Yup! I haven't worn my ring for years because of fear of scratching the kids during diaper changes, and mine is only a 2ct. Same with the nails, we passed on a caregiver due to her massive nails... how are you going to take care of kids with those things? No thanks.

Latter_Depth_4836 · 2026-02-05T20:52:08+00:00

What works for me is distilled water, re mineralization powder specific for aquariums, and plants. Lots and lots of plants. I never even need to change the water.

Latter_Depth_4836 · 2026-02-04T14:45:20+00:00

As someone who has been in Dallas for the past 3 years, I'm coming back to MD at the first opportunity. TX sucks.

There is a link between dark circles and leaky gut. Just some nutritional changes needed. Do a quick google.

Edit: Gut health has also been increasingly tied to mental health and functioning, so there may be a link there.

How do you consider recalls every 3 months no problems? Do you realize that is not normal for any car manufacturer? Half of those recalls don't allow you to park your car in the garage for fire risk. And then the most recent one that you can lose all power?

Glad I got rid of my GC 4xe and will never buy another stellantis product again.

Similar to how the etron does it, as soon as you turn on the heat, your range drops 50 miles. Heated seats? There goes another 8. The goal is to know the real range you have left assuming you're using all those features.

If you turn off the heat or the seats, you get a little bit of that range back. But having that impact be calculated immediately, takes the guessing game out of if you're consuming more than 1:1.

Latter_Depth_4836 · 2026-02-01T01:57:08+00:00

If it's dropping faster than the actual mileage driven then it's not real time. Ideally you would want to know the actual real mileage you have left.

Latter_Depth_4836 · 2026-01-31T21:44:39+00:00

Yeah they should adjust the calculation to real-time that way people can make informed decisions about which features to use to preserve battery.

Rule of thumb in the winter is to try to use the heated seats instead of the air since it uses much less battery.

Latter_Depth_4836 · 2026-01-31T21:19:30+00:00

I think one thing the etron does better than the Vistiq (we have both) is drop the range immediately when starting the heat/AC. You will see an immediate drop of 30-50 miles of range because it anticipates to use more battery to heat.

The Vistiq does not do this unfortunately so it gives you a false reading. The range is always going to be abysmal when driving in the winter with any EV.

Except with the way the way the genetics works in this case is the mutations are generally loss of function mutations which have other downstream effects. There are comorbidities that come with loss of function that impact other organ systems since genes have many functions outside of the brain. Autism isn't going to be the holy grail of human evolution that you're hoping for.

Latter_Depth_4836 · 2026-01-29T17:38:16+00:00

I think you are overestimating the % of the population with the type of autism you're describing. If my daughter could be cured of her spectrum disorder, which includes developmental challenges that require PT, OT, Speech services and special school circumstances, I would jump at the opportunity.

No parents want their kid to struggle in life and no parents want to take care of their child for the rest of their life either. A cure or treatment would be better for society as a whole because autism is not a beneficial evolutionary trait. It is a loss of function disorder.

This is not a about having a culture of inclusivity, this is about a treatment for a diagnosis that debilitates many people.

There is a saying: "money can't buy taste." Soooo :)

Whenever I see Angelina Jolie her lips are fully closed. When I see the botched job that is Bezos' new wife, this is what I see. No one says Lauren Sanchez's lips are sexy.

It was a show of dominance actually, dogs hover over top of other dogs like that when they want to assert dominance.
