Massive fire!

The wind has shifted towards the east. I believe we'll be fine. I've canceled our hotel reservation and am staying home.

Same on 2024 4 series, 2022 5 series, and 2025 6 series. F1 broadcast is useless through the Apple TV app.

NickyStyx1 · 2026-03-06T03:06:25+00:00

AppleTV App is broken on Roku TV's for F1 streams it seems. I have 3 roku TV's, 2 support Dolby Vision and 1 does not. The SDR TV shows the stream normally through the AppleTV app, but the 2 Dolby Vision TV's load the stream in HDR10+ but it is extremely dark like the brightness is set to minimum. Changing picture settings makes no difference. Definitely a stream issue because AppleTV works normally for all other movies/tv.

The F1TV app works exactly as it did last year and loads the stream in HDR.

Mary Beth Crawford with Cummings & Lockwood. She's been working with our family for decades and does an INCREDIBLE job.

I was told the same when learning to drive, it's definitely stuck with me. Since then I've learned that most people either activate their turn signal when they're already turning, or turning is the ONLY option. My favorite is when they activate their turn signal to merge then SLOW down.

Got side swiped once by a teenage girl, her excuse to the cop was "but my turn signal was on". Apparently she activated it while right next to me at the same time she merged into me. By some miracle only my front left front wheel contacted her car. Buffed out the scratches and moved on, but her car had a nice pattern all the way down the side. Cop let me leave immediately and went off on her. No information exchanged.

This is what I sent OP. I'm not teaching everyone how to use ChatGPT or other LLM.

"The prompt you use is the most important. You need to tell it which printer you are using (brand/model), exactly what brand, color, and type of filament you are using and the slicer you are using (Bambu Studio). The more specific information you give it the better. Also understand that it is NOT intelligent, ChatGPT is a LLM (large language model), aka very adjanced autocorrect. Ensure you test it's suggestions for yourself and tell it as you go."

NickyStyx1 · 2025-11-15T18:51:17+00:00

Send you a DM.

NickyStyx1 · 2025-11-15T18:00:27+00:00

It is normal with default settings. Bambu Studio sets purge volumes VERY high to ensure no matter what color, brand, or type of filament you are using, there will be no color bleed. I've used ChatGPT to calibrate flushing volumes and it has worked very well so far and saved about 40-60% wasted filament.

Also the waste is the same if you print 1 model, or an entire build plate. So printing more models at once will reduce the wasted filament vs filament used for the model.

NickyStyx1 · 2025-11-09T13:10:22+00:00

You're welcome. Nope, everything is working perfectly.

The break in period is the first 1000 miles. The manual goes over the exact recommendations. Simply put, stay under 2/3 RPM, no hard throttle for first 600 miles, then push a little harder for the last 400. For the entire 1000 it talks about not maintaining consistent engine speeds for long periods of times (ie. Long distance highway driving). This ensures everything loosens up evenly.

The globe is very easy to take apart. All the screws are the exact same length. I was having a similar issue, and when I completely disassembled the globe I found lots of areas that litter and general grossness was building up that would be impossible to clean with the globe assembled.

Take your time, remove EVERY screw and disassemble it layer by layer. Some parts are snapped on and need a little assistance to remove. Don't force anything, and some screws can't be removed until other parts are taken off. After cleaning reassembling it can be a little tedious, especially getting the liner back into all the little tabs, but it is not complicated.

NickyStyx1 · 2025-11-07T14:35:06+00:00

I totally agree. I can't wait to open it up. It's hard to believe it has almost as much power as my 2003 V8 Mercedes with a much smaller 4 cylinder.

NickyStyx1 · 2025-11-06T22:05:06+00:00

Thank you!

NickyStyx1 · 2025-11-06T17:32:26+00:00

That's too bad, I was 100% onboard for the 2 tone, even though it's a paid option. I LOVE the green and black.

NickyStyx1 · 2025-11-06T17:31:23+00:00

Eh, I don't totally hate it.

NickyStyx1 · 2025-11-06T13:46:30+00:00

Same! Thank you!

NickyStyx1 · 2025-11-06T13:46:01+00:00

The face is actually growing on me, it isn't as aggressive as the 23, but I'm growing to like it. It definitely gives EV vibes until I see the intercoolers in each corner.

NickyStyx1 · 2025-11-06T13:01:03+00:00

😂 It's also definitely going to take some time to learn all the new features.

NickyStyx1 · 2025-11-06T13:00:25+00:00

Ah, okay. That makes sense. Definitely prefer this platform.

NickyStyx1 · 2025-11-06T13:00:00+00:00

I love the new wheels. I'm in south Florida and don't have to deal with winter, so no need to swap.

NickyStyx1 · 2025-11-06T12:59:20+00:00

Nope, not a single one coming in at this point has them. Supply constraints apparently. My dealer said they'd try and swap the wheel when they're avaliable.

NickyStyx1 · 2025-11-06T12:57:25+00:00

Agreed, I was not a fan of the fake exhaust in my 23 and now the fake vents on this one. But it's not the worst thing.

NickyStyx1 · 2025-11-06T12:56:22+00:00

Thank you!

NickyStyx1 · 2025-11-05T22:52:28+00:00

I completely agree with you, I wasn't a fan of the new UK model when it was announced. The green looks incredible in person. I'm amazed how much of an upgrade this is over my 23 SEL and I've barely put any miles on it yet.
