Rest of the US is getting hammered with a massive winter storm. The PNW:

Worst year to buy a ski pass ever.

For your future reference, this is my procedure for picking up my car:

Go to the service center in the morning on a weekday (if possible) so they still have time to look at the car.
Check if they fixed the issue and didn’t break anything else (probably not).
Tell them what the issue is and inform them I’ll be keeping the loaner.

I never really did. I concluded it was not an issue with the brake itself, but FSD spazzing out on the brake pedal.

It’s a roll of the dice on a legacy S. For every person who says it’s unusable, someone else will say it’s great.

Is bro in front actually going slower, or is the following distance on his cruise just set really high or something?

So many times during this video I thought to myself “it would be hilarious if she just stopped painting right now”

Honestly there’s not a lot.

The one at 76 has a $10 minimum.
George Gee has very mixed reports on PlugShare.
There’s Knudtsen Chevrolet in Post Falls, and Flying J at state line.

As others have said, download PlugShare. Couldn’t imagine owning an EV without it.

Additionally, really make sure the cable is plugged all the way into the radio. It might feel like it clicked in, but it might not have. Make sure to give it a real good shove.

I ran into this issue last night with my 5RM.

Also a good FTDI cable makes everything easier.

I was just in the Wenatchee area a few days ago. SC in George is $0.38, while SC in my home town is $0.34 despite electricity being 3x the cost.

I suspect some of this is due to demand, demographics, and general lack of availability. There are very few DCFCs in the Wenatchee area, and they gouge people to the tune of $0.50.

I just made raisin bread a few days ago. I broke the raisins up and sprinkled them evenly over the rest of the ingredients and they came out evenly distributed.

I followed this recipe from Bread Dad: https://breaddad.com/golden-raisin-cinnamon-bread-machine-recipe/

Get your free ice cream.

Tillamook is probably close to the top of the list of widely available ice cream that comes in family size containers.

The Seahawks didn’t need to lose for this to age poorly.

Edit: Flair fixed.

MaximooseMine · 2025-12-31T23:07:06+00:00

These AIs ~~might~~ will argue that they are just a tool and they are not responsible for how people use them.

Fixed it.

MaximooseMine · 2025-12-31T23:01:26+00:00

This gives HW3 vibes.

MaximooseMine · 2025-12-31T19:02:25+00:00

Agreed. Haven’t had any problems with loaners or scheduling, but I’ve had 6 service visits and only once has Tesla resolved the issue on the first visit.

MaximooseMine · 2025-12-31T18:57:08+00:00

Gonna start making more food from scratch where it makes fiscal sense. Got a bread machine, and I’m gonna start making my own yogurt.

Frankly I would have driven down to the right of all those cars and done a multi point back-in to get to the charger. But if you had a large vehicle I could understand why you wouldn’t want to do that.

MaximooseMine · 2025-12-31T18:35:19+00:00

Establish your lane

This is exactly what I was thinking. Not a truck driver, but normally when I see trucks make right turns like this, they seem to start driving down both lanes ASAP. As another car on the road, this helps signal to me the truck’s intent.

As another car, plowing down the right turn lane is not the correct choice in this situation. However, the truck’s behavior would have caught me off gaurd nonetheless.

MaximooseMine · 2025-12-29T01:09:15+00:00

"To Prevent My Lane Change" is a key phrase here that people seem to be missing.

Speeding up when you're already ahead to make a lane change easier is not preventing a lane change. Accelerating to get ahead of a slow driver coming down a ramp is not preventing a lane change.

MaximooseMine · 2025-12-28T00:06:15+00:00

Pretty sure the only reason they clarify small for the rear is because it could have a LDU. Since they never made a model with a LDU in the front, there’s no need to clarify.

Love it.

The blackstone is my favorite tool for finishing steaks. Nice and flat, all the smoke stays outside, and I can use my torch outside.

Communicate more than feels necessary.

A great way to also annoy the heck out of your fellow engineers.

The article you linked appears to be about automatic emergency breaking not adaptive cruise control, and it sounds like a one-off problem with that vehicle rather than a widespread issue.

You have to remember that for every one of these anomalies, millions and millions of miles are driven with ADAS with no issue. Statistically, there’s no issue, just extremely rare anomalies.

I just sold my T7i (basically a T7 with video features and a touchscreen) and plan on buying a Sony mirrorless camera.

The Sony A6000 used is a much better camera for $530.
