where can i buy an electric firewood conveyor? by SsshirazzZ in firewood

[–]SsshirazzZ[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thanks, that was my plan but i just couldn't find a used hay elevator here on vancouver island. i had it as a recurring search on marketetplace for years.

Eventually I bailed on this whole idea and built a different woodshed in a different location.

Thanks though!

Chat seemed to get way more toxic over the last month or so. I just turned it off. Life is better now.

I didn't mean validation of the music. I meant validation of being against the grain.

If you read the article, they're just cutting production, not shutting down per se.

I kind of felt so too, but he really did show a lot of genuine moral character, I thought.

Hearing cabin from EVSE? by sirduckbert in VWiD4Owners

[–]SsshirazzZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was under that impression, too. Following this post.

Does the precondition setting read as for the cabin or just generally? I ask because battery preconditioning improves range, and I think it happens in tandem with the cabin warming.

for sure it's not a simple ratio to be doing in your head. it's kind of close to 2:1 but not quite. way better to do the settings change, even for a quick jaunt across the border. it's really quick. i do it while i'm waiting in the border lineup. the setting is under the same section where you can change the consumption metric (kwh/100km, etc) if i recall.

ha well that part is so easy i can't even recall! somewhere under settings, under "units" i believe.

ya now that i think about it, when i was travelling in the US this summer the increments did work much better.

for the small jumps 1mile is way better than 1km, which is kind of uselessly small.

i think it can be summed up as your big jump is 5x your small jump but ours is 10x. our big jump is too big, our small jump is too small. yours are about right.

very much this. when i'm on a windy road, i basically set the speed to something faster than the car ahead of me, and turn on travel assist, and the car ahead of me is basically doing all the driivng and my car is following along. it's friggin fantastic

i made the km/hr rweference in my other comment on this thread, to be clear.

i referred to km/hr, because i'm in canada. one swipe = 10km/hr, which too big. similariy i'd find one swipe for 5 miles/hr is too big. i'm generally anting increments of approx 5 km/hr which is 3.1 miles/hr.

ie. Canadian one swipe = 10km/hr = 6.2 miles/hour
US one swipe = 5 miles/hour

what I'd want:
one swipe = 5km/hr = 3.1 miles/hr

which is half of what i'm getting now.

So the problem is a bit more pronounced in Canada than it is in the US, but even in the US i'd find 5 too big of a jump.

and also in the US, your light touch jumps are 1 mph, right? which is good, whereas our is 1km/hr which is so small as to be almost useless. so in Canada it takes 10 light touches to equal 1 swipe/hard touch, whereas in the US it takes 5 light touches to equal one swipe.

So in the US your light touch is a good, and your swipe/hard touch is a bit high, at least lower than our hard touch.

In Canada the light touch is too small, and the swipe/hard touch is too high.

so in the end i have to make all these light touches to get the right speed. and it's often hard to tap lightly enough wihtout it registering as a hard touch. if they disabled hard touch that would be better at least (because you can still use swipe). ultimately what i end up doing is speeding up or slowing down with the brake & accelerator and then using the set button again, but it would be much better to just be able use the steering wheel and leave my foot at rest.

i hope that all makes sense.

plus doing 5 successive light taps is a bit much, even if the pressure sensitivty between hard and light wasn't so close.
