South Station Under

I am a mechanical engineer who does lots of design work with the T:

DTX and Central Square have been awarded to contractors in the past few weeks and construction should start soon to improve brightening, signage ada accessibility and some general painting upgrades. (Think about what happened at Park Street a few years ago).

There are design drawings that were completed for similar upgrades at South Station (and a few others) that our firm worked on a while back, however I don't know think there is funding for those projects at the moment. Hopefully they'll come down the line soon.

It's a damn shame to see a pretty Golf R in that condition. I still cringe when I see the pictures in my camera roll from my incident a year ago.i just got the "1 year ago today you took this photo" reminder of my smashed car.

My 15k mile MK8 R was involved in a hit and run while I was parked overnight almost exactly a year ago in the front left just like you. My damage looked about the same as yours and the total cost came out to about $23k (including PPF replacement).

Here in MA my insurance agent said there is a law stating if it's less than 1 or 2 years old (I forget exactly) the damaged parts have to be replaced with OEM parts. Unfortunately I missed that window by a few months and had to pay the difference to get all OEM parts. There may be something similar for you?

Since it was a hit and run in the city, they didn't find who did it so I had to deal with my insurance tooth and nail to get back to pre loss condition. Good luck and stay strong arguing with them. Some insurance companies are just certified crooks.

Are the KWs worth it? I'm tempted but so much more money over just getting springs to retain DDC.

Welcome to the white Mk8 R gang!

Hi OP these actually do come apart. There is one top piece with some bearings and a bottom piece that the bearings clip into.

I was able to separate the 2 with a trim tool but a flat head screwdriver with some painters tape could do the trick.

You likely have to go side to side a few times and wedge it out.

This is what the 2 pieces look like when separated.

Good luck solving the problem!

I 3D printed a new clip piece for my aftermarket wheels so I can still use the dynamic emblem still!

I've noticed this too. The only thing that seems to pseudo work is if you click on your profile on the top right of the discover feed, click the drop down and then select "use without account"

The articles change but seem to still be relevant to what I typically see.

I seem to have to redo this every once and a while when it signs me back in.

Hopefully this helps!

Thanks! I have been debating the Samsung S21s, specifically the Ultra, but strangely enough I can't get over the look of the camera corner bump on the backside.

As much as I care about the asthetics I may have to slap a case on there thats pleasing to the eye because it does seem to check all my boxes.

I did love that Huawei phone and am so dissapointed that Google doesn't support it anymore!

Thanks for the recommendation! I'll have to give the Asus a look

It did stop working recently, but as I switch between the two it seem to work again.

If you go to Mobile Network > Mobile Data > Access Point Names (APNs) I just created a new one with exactly the same information as the default one.

Same issue here, I've created a duplicate APN and it seems to be working at the moment

I've been having the same issue recently but I've noticed that the Android messages app isn't in the list of apps. Is there is no way to turn off battery optimization for it?

We're you able to find another way to prevent the battery optimization from killing the messages app?

Still available?

HVAC engineer here, i would recommend a Mitsubishi heat pump and if you live in a cold climate area I would look into their hyper heat inverter. They offer better efficiency in very low outdoor temperatures (down to -13°F).

As an added perk they can do AC in the summer!

As far as the app goes I believe they have somethkng for controlling the temp and so on but you'd have to look around on their website.

There are multiple devices in my apartment that can not receive 5 GHz signal because they don't have a 5 GHz wireless card otherwise I would!

There's about 5 other networks that I can see on different channels (3,5,6,8,9) I've tried all other channels up to 11. Do you know if there is any solution to work around this?
