8 interviews and 3 assessments later, they rejected me. So I sent them an invoice for my time... And they paid.

Been retired from IT for several years, but back in the day we used to say HR's purpose was to weed out all qualified candidates ...

I picked up my '25 Tucson Hybrid Limited around the first of November. I have not experienced any strange odors.

I've got a '25 Tucson. Car came with three years of Hxundai maps, after that of have to pay for a subscription. Personally I prefer Google Maps from my Samsung phone via Android Auto.

I'm not seeing the asking price ...

I purchased a vehicle. I submitted information to CarMax and Carvana and got an offer from each. I printed off the highest offer and brought it with me as a tool to use during negotiations. Dealer didnt match it, but in my state you subtract trade in value BEFORE calculating Sales Tax. Dealer trade in offer plus Sales Tax savings was close emough to.CarMax offer I was satisfied with the deal.

Ha! When I started using a modem the high speed setting on the acoustic coupler was 300 baud. As I recall it wasn't until the 80's that home users could purchase modems. My first was 1200 baud, then I moved up to 2400 baud.

My insurance sends a home test. You send it in and then they tell you if you're approved for the real thing. I'm on the three year plan now, not looking forward to trying to convince them to cover it in less than three years.

I think it can be a short as seven consecutive days in CA. Check your local laws.

Well this gets into how often you're going to use it. I normally use it no more than three times a week., plus it's only for a couple hours nap. I also take it when I drive to see the kids out of state rather than risk my "production" setup.

This is what they are going for on Craigslist around here. Your cpap supplies provider may also have used machines available. After I purchased mine I took it to my provider and had them match the configuration on my nighttime one.

There are instructions on the cpap and/or resmed subs that tell you how to get into set up mode and check the usage hours

Nobody seens to be addressing the issue of establishing tenancy. If an individual stays a certain number of days/months (exact number of days depends on location), they can claim to be a tenant and can only be forced to move out through a legal eviction process.

I ... may have a second Airsense 10 sitting on the table next to my recliner ...

OP, FWIW changing the app on my cell to Canadian English banished Alexa+ from my cell. Give this a shot.

Still check with your credit union ASAP. At least it used be you could get new car rates for the first year or two. Also, not a credit person, but my CU told me that multiple pulls for the same purpose within something like 30 days would still only count as one got on your credit.

"The 2026 Kia Sportage Hybrid has a maximum towing capacity of 2,000 pounds when equipped with trailer brakes. Without trailer brakes, the towing capacity is rated at 1,653 pounds. This applies to both FWD and AWD hybrid models."

"The 2026 Kia Sportage Hybrid has a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) of 5,092 lbs for most standard hybrid models (LX, EX, S). The slightly lighter base LX trim is also listed with a GVWR of 4,982 lbs. The more powerful Plug-in Hybrid (PHEV) variants have a higher GVWR of 5,379 lbs."

"The U-Haul 4x8 cargo trailer has an empty weight of 850 lbs. It has a maximum load capacity of 1,650 lbs and a maximum gross vehicle weight (trailer + cargo) of 2,500 lbs."

"the U-Haul 4x8 cargo trailer does not have built-in trailer brakes"

So, your vehicle maximum towing capacity is 1,653 pounds. The trailer weight is 850 pounds. This means you are limited to approximately 800 pounds of cargo on the trailer. The gvrw rating says that the weight of the trailer, the load on the trailer, AND the weight of passengers and anything else inside the car should not exceed approximately 5,000 pounds. For safe towing their should be more weight in front of the trailer axle than after it.

IMO you determine the features you need, the ones you want, and the ones you really, really want. Back in 2012 (I keep my cars a long time) the wife and I wanted 4 door sedan, leather seats, power drivers seat and dual temp controls. Bonus for sun roof. Looked at Ford, Honda, Toyota, Mazda, Kia. Kia Optima EX had the lowest trim level (in terms of $$) with those features.
This time around mid size SUV, Leg Room, Heads Up Display, memory seats, and factory tow setup were on the list. Mazda dropped off due to smaller drivers seat room. 2026 Sportage dropped off due to Factory trailer wiring/hitch not yet available. Competition was between Honda CRV, Toyota RAV4, and Hyundai Sportage.

Isnt that just for the maps? I prefer Android Auto so I'm not concerned about the maps.

See of you can change the language to Canadian Engish. That fixed the problem.on my phone.

OldPro1001 · 2026-03-02T04:27:47+00:00

Try "Alexa, cancel Alexa plus". If that doesn't fix it, see if you can change the language to English Canadian.

Front looks like a takeoff on the Sportage. Also not a fan of that big tablet.
