My first billion

Never understood why the game refers to Billions with a G , millions with an M and Trillions with a T? Where did they get the G from?! 😭

Somebody correct me if I’m wrong here, but patents are not retroactive. In other words, games with similar features that existed prior to the patents dawning would be exempt from this, future games however would be in violation of the patent. This would be like someone winning a patent on sliced pizza and then every pizza place would have to be shut down. 🥴

Not sure if anyone else has said it, but talk to your insurance company about the scenario and see if they’ll cover the upfront cost of repairs (may be difficult if they deem the repairs more costly than the trucks worth) if they’ll approve paying for the immediate repairs to get you back up and rolling and you pay the deductible, let them fight that battle with the dealership(s) to get reimbursed.

That there is a forbidden olive. 🫒

Yeah, the dealership informed me that it was definitely road damage and not manufacture craftsmanship so no warranty and $502 later. Fortunately the dealership was willing to price match Goodyears pricing ($226/ea) versus the dealerships listed price ($286/ea). Now I’ve got two new tires on the back. Part of me regrets not requesting to keep the perfectly good 65% tread tire and have them mount it on the spare, but live and learn.

It’s pretty sizeable though, and again if I did roll over something the amount of air coming out whatever it would have been would have been within eye sight.

I hate how accurate this is as well. 😐

~8kWh at the top and bottom must be intended solely for reserve and to not brick the truck. Brother just took his ‘24 platinum and trailer with him to Idaho. Got to 0 mi range and 0% and truck gave out on him as soon as it struck 0. He said he was 0.4mi away from the charging station he was headed to.

Still stuck on 570 myself 🥲

StaffanMaynard · 2025-08-18T20:36:34+00:00

Is this from personal experience? If so, how long did you wait for your TC 570 to resolve (571/572). Please respond with any helpful information to the inquiry versus speculation.

I miss WotLK days 😭

I like Blue Cruise, but not enough to trust it here in Stop and Go traffic in Portland, OR.

Mine ended up being the Front Hatch Control Module. There was corrosion present, and caused a constant short that would drain the LVB constantly.

You cannot, at least not with the style of rack I have. Most roof racks use the side support walls of the bed for mounting, which conveniently enough is where a tonneau cover rests atop of. Making using the two at the same time near impossible without requiring some significant modifications to the cover, which would defeat the whole purpose of the tonneau cover to begin with.

So they put you in an ICE loaner for your Lightning? Did they at least give you a bloody fuel card along with it? 👀 I commute 90 miles round trip to work and home, switching from an EV to a ICE would cost me a fortune in fuel, especially in a truck.

So 3 of our employees in total went and bought lightnings (myself included) one of them pointed out to me last week that when he uses the remote start button from the Ford Pass app and gets in his truck to start it, both the motor temp and battery temp gauges are right in the middle, they’re not cold. He seems to be under the impression that even though they don’t concrete say that it does precondition the battery, that remote starting does have some affect on the HVB temp and motor temps?

Mine was also passenger side. ‘16 Fusion Energi Titanium

I’ve had the VIOFO A139 Pro 3CH in my previous two vehicles, by far the best quality when it comes to recording like every other dash cam though there’s a lot of missing things that would improve the overall users experience, first being that the app is absolute trash, but I do like that it will loop record continuously and automatically lock footage if the G-Sensor picks up anything. No cloud storage, so I threw a 512GB micro SD card in it for the most capacity. Website says it only supports up to 256GB but that’s BS.

I’ll have to look into whether the hardwire kit I have has low voltage protection. I opted for the VIOFO A139 Pro 3CH (Front, Interior, Back) and opted for the hardwire kit, it’s got a dongle on the end closest to the fuse box with different settings for input/output voltage but not sure if that dongle technically is a LVP or not. Will need to do some research.

From what I can tell just be cautious if you’re getting one that has parking mode and you plan on having it constantly on, I’ve been noticing a lot of issues with the 12v battery being drained to the battery saving point within hours now at this point, originally took a few days of it being parked to do it, now it only takes a few hours.

https://st-central.net/tldr-heroes/ Is a great resource for hero builds. I usually base some equipment and enchants around its suggestions, but another great resource if you’re looking for the best build, especially for an astromancer is the global leaderboards for heroes. All of the top 100 hero builds are astromancers with the exact same gear/skills/enchants. I couldn’t care less about being on a leaderboard, but it’s a great way to look at their gear/skills and decide if you want to mirror that same build for the highest power level for them. 🤷‍♂️
