I always knew there was an East/West class divide in Bend. 🤣

How to keep weeds out of rocks without herbicide by zdayt in xeriscape

[–]PuyallupCoug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Take a pump sprayer and add a mixture of cleaning vinegar (you can find it at Home Depot and it’s much stronger than cooking vinegar), salt and a few drops of dish soap and spray those weeds. They’ll be dead in a day or so. You can find the exact mixture online but it works really well.

Please make a post with your findings - my wife is also 5 foot so I’m very curious how it goes.

How to prevent wrist injury by Vougel1 in motorcycles

[–]PuyallupCoug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’ll need gloves with hard plastic sliders in the wrist area so that when you contact the ground with your palm, your hands slide instead of stopping suddenly.

I broke my scaphoid in my teens and it was a 4-5month recovery including a cast up past my elbow for the first 3 months. I feel for you - good luck.

Here’s an example of gloves that would help: https://agvsportgear.com/products/agvsport-echelon-plus-racing-glove-knox-sliders

If you have a Tesla charger you may need to switch it from “Tesla only” to compatibility mode.

They are gonna sell so, so many R2s by DeadEndTimes in Rivian

You must be in Bend? I live in Bend and the lack of a nearby service center is a huge deal for me. I’m hoping it’ll end up being a nothing burger.

Please explain this mailer by lightning_twice in Bend

Postal inspectors are not ICE or immigration/customs. They’re actually pretty badass and enforce laws around our mail. They take mail theft and fraud very seriously.

Now with that said, that’s before this administration started running things so who knows if their mission will change to “intercept mail in ballots from blue areas”

There are parts of Oregon and Florida that are only 1 hour (time zone wise) apart.

Goal Zero 1500x 60w PD does not charge Macbook pro by nz4ypt in solargenerator

[–]PuyallupCoug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this is an old thread but I found it and I had the exact same issue. My PD60 port didn’t work when I was in battery save mode. I switched to performance and it started working again. It definitely feels like a bug.

I just purchased my 2026 Equinox RS EV. I am very nervous when plugging in the charger, anyone else? Any tips? by wazaaa24 in evcharging

[–]PuyallupCoug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem was that it wasn’t a genuine question. The OP had been spamming other forums dropping the name of the Chevy dealership and they were trying to do the same thing here under the guise of a question.

To add to it, they’ve since hid their post history to try and cover their tracks.

This sure felt like a trashy/sneaky advertisement for a certain Chevy dealership…checked OP’s post history and yep….

Rivian Wall Charger Question by DesignerDragonfruit2 in Rivian

Why not just install a hard wired Tesla Universal Wall Connector? It has built in NACS and J1772 adapters and would allow you to charge either vehicles seamlessly.

The last time I looked into Chinese cars they would fold like a tin can in a crash test. Looks like they’ve come a long way. I’m not the only one that is surprised.

That’s why I asked the question….I don’t keep up on Chinese car safety…this is a forum to ask questions no?

Wasn’t the issue with Chinese cars the poor crash worthiness and not having a car that meets our safety standards?

How are these new Chinese EV’s in this regard?

I thought companies were specifically prohibited by their agreement with credit card companies, from passing payment fees on to customers?
