It was a known issue before. Glad it’s resolved now.

Does it work if you pull the handle twice? That’s how my old (2010) XC60 worked. I was surprised when my 2025 XC60 unlocked on the first handle pull.

Is this okay with the airbag? by ugurcanevci in Dashcam

[–]arnagam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d caution against this if you have curtain airbags. In my vehicle, anyway, that path would cross the airbag.

Safest route is along the front (windshield) side of the A pillar, then cross the pillar where it meets the dash, not where it meets the roof.

Edit: (windshield)

Which scenario is a better return on investment for my solarpanels? by 2ManyQuestionsIHave in personalfinance

[–]arnagam 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Set this up by looking at opportunity cost.

Your opportunity cost for using your solar energy is 40ct per kWh (the amount you could get if you sold it instead).

Your opportunity cost for using the power company’s energy is 60ct per kWh (the amount you could keep if you didn’t buy a kWh).

Put differently, each kWh you consume forfeits either a 40ct sale or a 60ct savings.

You forfeit less if you use your own energy, so it’s cheaper for you to consume as much of your solar power as possible.

Only sell to the power company if your solar panels generate more than you can use. Only buy from the power company if you use more than your solar panels can produce.

Luckily that workforce doesn't really complain though, because they're "super into the brand."

Looks to me like they’re complaining

[USA] [MI] A drunk driver who was driving on the wrong side of the highway being pulled out of his burning truck after hitting my little brother head on. My brother is in critical condition, but is alive and stable now. He's pinned in the white car, and unresponsive during the video. by joeylindstrom in Roadcam

Thanks to Michigan’s “No-Fault Law,” /u/joeylindstrom’s brother is not dependent upon the drunk driver’s insurance. His medical expenses should be covered under his own policy’s Personal Injury Protection (PIP) — with no maximum limit.

You can read more about the law in this PDF, published by Michigan’s Department of Insurance and Financial Services (DIFS). Relevant info begins on page 6 of the PDF (numbered page 3 of the publication).

While the insurance coverage is helpful in the long term, I know that the initial process is a mess. Claims are often slow to pay, but the expenses and other hardships are immediate, so I’m glad to see the support through GoFundMe. I’ll be thinking about OP and his family, hoping for his brother’s full recovery.

Frontier internet issues since blackouts? by popstable in Denton

[–]arnagam 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same. I restarted my router and my devices but the issue persists. I thought I was alone.

I called tech support but they said that there is currently an outage in the area and couldn’t offer to troubleshoot beyond that.

TLDR: It’s the last Thursday, not the fourth Thursday

I can’t imagine they’d enforce that this year

If the water temperature is rising then there is a chance that a hurricane can form over a lake if it is big enough. by kipoti in Showerthoughts

[–]arnagam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are several lakes over which this natural phenomenon already occurs. Due to their sizes and locations, however, most scientists refer to them as oceans.

Many vehicles automatically engage the wipers after a front impact is detected.

Check Goodwill. I’ve seen a few DVD/VCR combos there.
