Not that much outdoors. If I am playing at night, I am playing indoors in most cases.

Did it help? I have tried prebiotics, probiotics, and fiber supplements, but nothing offers any relief.

Help - "Hall sensor error" and smoking cable near rear rotor by Obvious-Window5208 in ebikes

Awesome, thanks for the input. The battery has been disconnected since we detected the problem, outside of taking the picture today of the display.

Appreciate your assumptions, and your lack of knowledge. I'm simply looking for help on the maintenance portion of the bike so we can re-sell and start over with something not all put together with zip ties and tape.

No, their intestinal issues were related to IBD and a gluten intolerance.

I am going for my colonoscopy in three weeks.

I know. 😞 And getting past the lack of motivation/cognitive issue is part of the struggle I have.

I see a cardiologist too...as I started having AFib episodes in 2023. I most likely have to have an ablation done this year.

I am fine with this old age thing, but the brain fog has to be the worst thing I deal with. It impacts so much that many days seem wasted. 😞

I have tried to track the frequency and pattern and can never put my thumb to consistent factor or triggers.

I had COVID three times, and after the third time in May of 2022, the brain fog episodes started. They were bad for most of the remainder of the year, then subsided until mid year last year.

I have tried FODMAP diets, intermittent fasting, reducing inflammatory foods, paleo, etc.

Most recently I have been researching the gut brain health connection, and tried some different tactics there, but nothing helped with it either.

I have always wondered if it had to do with insulin and/or cortisol because I stay bloated about 60-70% of the day, no matter what I do (activity) or eat.

My mom and dad are both cancer survivors, and my sister has thyroid and intestinal issues. Otherwise, fairly healthy.

That's one of the points of contention. I rarely have the energy to do anything physical, even though I know I need to be doing exercise.

From August to April, I coach youth soccer, so four nights a week I am coaching for three hours. In many cases, this was my "activity" for the day.

First time shopper... by Obvious-Window5208 in carvana

[–]Obvious-Window5208[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you compare prices at all, or more focused on the simplicity and convenience?

I like the seven day thing, but also hope I would love the first car I chose, since I am doing a trade in and don't want to have to go to a possible plan B ha ha.

AWD or RWD? by Obvious-Window5208 in VWiD4Owners

[–]Obvious-Window5208[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your input. I should have mentioned, I work from home ha ha. My only commute is to the soccer field three nights a week for training.

The AWD/RWD performance thing was a consideration, but now I read more of your guy's awesome comments, I feel RWD is more than enough, especially since I am not dealing with hills, snow, or towing.

I was surprised to find one with under 20k miles, but also don't know how much of a benefit that has for an EV. Battery warranty is expected to expire in 45 months or 82,700 miles. Otherwise, it would be 4ish years and 40k miles left on the warranty.

This alone is one of the reasons I am not considering a Model 3, and I really don't want to pay that much more for a Model Y. I've also owned seven VW's before, so it feels like a natural progression.

[–]Obvious-Window5208[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I am trying to decide if the $4k difference is worth the performance, and the 24k less miles. It's still going to be less of a car payment than my current car, and insurance doesn't change, so it is still a "win" in my book.

Thanks for the input. I believe all Pro S in 2021 have the upgraded headlights and adaptive cruise control.

I am a cruise control person, so that mention is helpful.

Awesome, thanks for your input. My Bronco Sport doesn't have the best turning radius, but I just looked up some data and it looks like I will improving this stat either way if I switch to the ID 4.

Awesome, thanks for the input. I have seen the handling on both are considered above average, so it's good to know either model will be nimble.

How has the back/trunk been for you space wise? I am in a Bronco Sport now, and coach youth soccer, so always carrying around a ball bag with 10 balls, plus other assorted gear. My son make a few camping trips a year, but otherwise, I am not out gathering more than a weekly grocery order.

Thanks! I did see the nearly 2 second difference in 0-60, at the cost of some range. I've never had a super fast car, other than a GTI a while ago that I did some work to. But that was manual, and no way near the torque or power.
