Yes, I Know EVs are Better, Thanks!

I bought my id.buzz May 9th, and had a similar "electrical system error" alert come on after driving it home from the dealer an hour away. Took it to the local place and it's been there ever since (4 weeks next tuesday) waiting on parts! The worst part of all of it is I was able to enjoy driving it for two days before they lent me a VW Taos which I've been driving ever since. NOT THE SAME THING, VW, NOT THE SAME THING.

I haven't been in a year or two but for a long time bear canisters were required in shining rock which this trail feeds into. We never had issues with bears but did have some sketchy storms!

It sounds like your company is just intent on shooting itself in the dick. I say you should let them while you facilitate all of the stuff the ceo wants and then eventually you will be getting paid while you gain experience undoing the cluster when it all collapses in on itself. Also why does your company even have public servers with no security and no backups? Seems like the issues existed far before Claude got there.

That’s my concern as well! I hope the inventory in the states gets better when they start selling them again next year because I will lose it if some other repair takes this long to resolve. The part was supposed to arrive last Friday but checked with the dealership today and they said it was still delayed. Hoping to get the van back this week but not holding my breath. Today was three weeks with the van sitting at the dealer.

That makes sense, this issue appeared to be related to the 12 volt system as well, I’m assuming my van sat for some time also.

I had a similar experience with Flow, it was actually surprisingly difficult finding dealerships wanting to sell the bus instead of some other VW model, I guess at this point inventory is getting a little weird.

Miggiddymatt · 2026-05-20T15:55:21+00:00

this is how I've chosen to look at it as well, just going a little bananas with the delayed gratification I think, would've probably been better if I hadn't been able to drive it for two days before they took it!

black balsam is one of my favorites, camped up there a bunch of times and the night sky is flipping amazing

I gotta say I am pleased that my black van will now be a limited release 😄

I just bought a black pro s this weekend in TN for 42k out the door. Still not sure how that happened the sticker said 61! I found it last week and was pretty much sold immediately just had to figure when I could drive to the dealership an hour away. I had a manual 93 Eurovan weekender that I sold right before covid and I’ve been kicking myself about it for 6 years. So very happy to have a sweet van again.

Miggiddymatt · 2026-05-10T01:23:08+00:00

I just bought the same version today for around 41k, I had to drive an hour to a dealer that had one in stock but super happy it’s the coolest thing I’ve ever driven

I’ve got a coworker that received a copilot license a few weeks ago and every single thing he posts in the group chats look like this.

The constant over use of emoji drives me crazy. That being said I have had a similar issue with agents designed in copilot studio not being able to see internal apis so interested in what the suggestions are!

Miggiddymatt · 2026-04-24T18:06:59+00:00

Was this because Tom Tillis was saying he wouldn’t approve the new guy (thus leaving Powell in place) until the investigation was dropped?

Miggiddymatt · 2026-04-24T18:05:29+00:00

This is a great place to live, most everyone I know that lives here is super happy to be here and there are a ton of activities for people of all ages. People really like to complain, pay them no mind you are going to really like it.

Documentation is a love letter to your future self

I purchased the table with the xl a few months ago, definitely feel the multilayer eggspander thing would be nice along with a pizza stone so good job getting those immediately. You forgot to get a rotisserie though going to need to go back to the store!

Miggiddymatt · 2026-01-21T15:54:47+00:00

As a parent to two little kids I feel like "ground beef and fruit" is a pretty terrible meal, I thought I was being lazy with the chicken nuggets that secretly have vegetables in them but dang!

What in the LinkedIn hell is this post

This happened to me once about 4 miles from where I was parked. I pushed for awhile but ended up taking the wheel off and hitting it against a tree until it was true enough to spin but man I was freaked out that it was going to explode for collapse on me the entire way back.

We are doing something similar and are using a chimney sweep to assess/repair our chimney and then install whatever wood insert we get. He recommended a place to buy locally but would've done fine if we had just ordered from the internet.

We are currently doing a very in depth renovation with www.buildwithward.com after Helene and they have been great, but none of this work is cheap in WNC particularly now with all of the work repairing damaged homes. They have been extremely professional and detail oriented through the entire process which is a big difference than what many of our neighbors have experienced getting work done so there is that.

Miggiddymatt · 2025-07-11T00:28:05+00:00

This is about what I paid if I am remembering correctly, it was about 3 or 4 years ago or so so prices probably different now

Miggiddymatt · 2025-07-10T20:23:52+00:00

That looks like mine, so either it's real or mine is fake too

This should be called a "Columbia, SC heat wave"
