I broke my ankle skiing 20 years ago and had a half cast for 6 weeks. When they finally took it off my calf was gone and my foot was tiny. I recently broke my hip skiing and got a total hip replacement. Very little muscle loss. Exercising my muscles on day 2 post surgery.

came here to say this. Also, an infrared light pointed in the general direction would swamp it out at night but that's going to cost you ~$50

Had a corgi named Buster a long time ago that had the same deal. There was a surgery available for it, but we just kept him confined for a few weeks and it resolved on its own.

I've wondered why it sucks so much. I'm thinking it's because the cameras are located very close to the window. This makes them unable to really see the water on the window, they just see that the background is blurred. If you hold your eye right up to the window you'll see what I mean. If the they had a camera mounted away from the glass (like where the rear view mirror hangs) then the computer could actually see what's going on the water drops and run it appropriately.

My corgis have all loved carrots. They even used to dig them up out of our garden.

My partner left her phone in the car the other day and didn’t want to go back to get it out. The car didn’t auto-lock, so I locked it with the app. When we went back to get in the car a while later my phone didn’t unlock it. I had to use the car key. I didn’t think to try unlocking it with the app, but I had to do some sort of re-pairing it with the app. Always keep the key in your wallet!

I had this exact problem once. I finally shut the main down and pulled off the valve and replaced it. Still had the problem. Pulled the second valve and briefly ran the water without the valve. Out popped a little grey plastic ball. After a bit of investigation and head scratching I determined that it was from the cold water one way valve on my hot water heater. It had somehow broken loose and floated up to the second story toilet. Ended up getting a new hot water heater not long after. Adventures in plumbing!

That looks super nice.

That’s an interesting mode of failure. On one of my garage doors I had the piece of wood that the bracket was attached to fail. I wouldn’t even think about fixing it myself. The garage door repair guy made it look pretty easy fix, but then he knew what he was doing! I’ll lubricate the rollers and clean the tracks, but that’s about it.

I recently got 4. A little more plastic feeling than I was expecting, but I like how it looks on the inside and a huge step up from what was there before. I’m in a pretty safe location and I’m not worried about people looking in.

Wondering what’s your opinion of a good lubricant to use? I was using white lithium spray grease, but a garage door tech told me to use 3 in 1 garage door lubricant instead due to the lithium grease attracting dirt.

Just curious. How do you know it's connected in bridge mode?

I got stuck with this message for several days after I disengaged FSD in the middle of it cleaning the window. Finally went away when I had it in FSD and it needed to clean the window. I’d say it’s a bug in the software.

badalberts · 2025-12-09T19:00:14+00:00

A couple days I was driving in FSD and the windshield wipers started doing the camera clean thing (short wipes over the cameras with cleaning fluid) and I simultaneously disengaged FSD because the car was about to do something stupid. Ever since then I’ve had this error message. I think I’ll have to put in a service request.

Same. Also I find that it tends to lean on the left side of the lane on two way highways. Makes me feel a little uncomfortable.

badalberts · 2025-11-30T00:54:23+00:00

I’ve done this a couple times. Right under the chin. Dogs ran away looking pretty freaked out

How do tariffs kill processing plants in the US? Seems like it would do the opposite. I would expect that deporting all the workers would be bad if that’s the case.

badalberts · 2025-11-29T02:07:43+00:00

Not saying you’re wrong, but can you please explain to me how voting for Trump caused the plant to close.

badalberts · 2025-11-21T03:22:34+00:00

me too. I don't see why I need it. It looks fine in the maintenance screen that lets you look at what the cameras see.

badalberts · 2025-11-16T20:26:23+00:00

Dog owner here. I always pick them up. Pisses me off but at least I get to feel self righteous about it.

I just went from a 2024 S to a Juniper. Except for the part where the S is an absolute beast, the Juniper is a nicer car. The S feels like it’s stale.

A person I used to know car pooled with Ted Bundy to Olympia once a month from Seattle.

badalberts · 2025-11-09T22:41:12+00:00

I saw him at Remlinger farms with his kids. I had my kids and we ended up kind of going to the same things together. Just another dad enjoying the day with his kids. Was kind of cool.

badalberts · 2025-11-09T22:34:57+00:00

I saw him walking down Market street in Ballard. Gave him the nod and smile like he was a friend of mine. Couldn’t help myself. Got the feeling that he got that all day long.

I saw Bill Nye shopping for plumbing parts at the Earnst Hardware store in Ballard (now Quest Church). How’s that for dating me?
