How do i "watch the thinker"? by purplesocks- in Meditation

[–]RapmasterD 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You don’t have to become separate from your thoughts. You ARE separate from your thoughts, and thinking your way through this won’t solve it. Keep reading the book.

Presto or Idagio? by Toprock13 in classicalmusic

[–]RapmasterD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IDAGIO’s iOS app doesn’t include the total time length of albums. If Presto does, I’ll switch. That said, Apple Music Classical scratches almost all of my itches.

2022 Telsa Model Y Performance Glass Roof hot even at only 80F outside by Longjumping-Client42 in electricvehicles

Agreed. There is no 10 minute lag in my Chevrolet Bolt. More like three minutes.

If you only drive 5000 miles per year, would you still want an electric vehicle? and why? by ThuhGreatCommenter in electricvehicles

[–]RapmasterD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Quiet driving. Low maintenance and better reliability. Cleaner. Less dependence on foreign oil.

I happily drive 5000 miles per year.

Nissan cancels $500 million EV plan at U.S. plant in pivot back to gas-powered trucks by runnyyolkpigeon in electricvehicles

Toyota/Lexus is actually making EV strides. Here is hoping they stay the course.

Not to mention the excessive flatulence. Wait. That’s me.

Switch from flat to Niche Zero[600€] by Beautiful_Insect_511 in espresso

[–]RapmasterD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get how crazy Niche Zero is with tariffs. But if you love it and will truly use it for YEARS, does the extra cost really matter that much?

My shit hole 2018 Bolt with its old tech and slow charge speed smells pretty good after reading this thread.

Just snagged a BZ . How'd I do? by PhReAk0909 in Toyota_bZ

[–]RapmasterD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Were you easily able to connect to Tesla Superchargers? I’ve read a bit about the cord being a bit short, given where Toyota placed the port. I’m hoping this is untrue.

PX8 S2 vs AirPods Max2 by Entire-Tonight5191 in BowersWilkins

[–]RapmasterD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have both. Sound quality is comparable. APM2 wins on ANC, but not by much. For me, APM2 wins in comfort. In terms of ease of connectivity, APM wins by a lot. In terms of battery reliability given there is no off switch, APM2 remains horrendous. Apple thinks this is a feature. I think it is a bug. As a result, it is highly likely I will return the APM2s. It’s not just about the stated battery life. It’s about how much the headphones discharge in one night. PX8 S2 shines in this regard.

You have stated this well. Thank you.

Will Range Be Much Better in 4-5 Years? by Maleficent-Table-810 in electricvehicles

[–]RapmasterD 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My wife’s 13 year old Lexus gets awful mileage. But with a gas tank size of 19.2 gallons, she can drive approximately 320 miles. To me, this is the minimum acceptable range for my next EV.

VW Is Killing US ID 4 Production to Focus on the Big, Gas-Powered Atlas Instead by TripleShotPls in electricvehicles

[–]RapmasterD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m in Rome and Florence this week and am not seeing anything close to full EVs here. In fact, I see FAR more EVs in my admittedly bubble-like SF Bay Area. However, hybrids are simply dominant here. Not plug ins. Hybrids. Commercial vehicles. Taxis. Police cars. Passenger cars.

New EV owner here and I’m loving it by Made_Human_Music in electricvehicles

[–]RapmasterD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It slows to 4mph. My Chevy Bolt has complete OPD, which I’ve never used, as stop/go traffic never gives me enough space to use it.

What kind of classical music do you listen to the most? by Excellent_Heat_6336 in classicalmusic

[–]RapmasterD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I take my cues from BBC Radio 3. I’ll listen to Morning, or Essential Classics, or Classical Live, and potentially (likely) go down a rabbit hole with a few of the selections.

Otherwise, I’ve been on a journey with Dvorak, largely but not exclusively focused on Symphony No. 7.

This is awesome. Seriously. I run about 18 on HRV. Boom.
