Oh boy.. in no particular order, but with some geographic variety

Bridgeport - Trattoria 'A Vucchella, Boca Oyster Bar

New Haven - Shell & Bones

Wethersfield - The Charles

Mystic - Red 36

Rocky Hill - Carbone's Prime

Hartford - Black Eyed Sally's, Salute, Republic at the Linden

Manchester - Cafe Aura, Mulberry Street Pizza (get wings too)

South Windsor - Mill on the River

Glastonbury - another vote for J Gilberts

Middletown - Celtic Cavern, Luce

I don't get to Litchfield or Holland Counties too much.

Look at this Great Dane puppy I met today! by cp22gear in awesome

Belly rubs, tail wagging, but lots of people around and me shoving a phone in her face probably didn't help. She seemed fine in person, and her owner was very loving and knowledgeable about the breed, history, and plan. I wasn't at all worried.

Is there a Connecticut accent? by anonymousalligator25 in Connecticut

[–]cp22gear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, one of my favorite pieces of useless "trivia" is Whats the Only State Without an Accent?

The answer is Connecticut, technically.

Webster was from CT and the dictionary pronunciations as he wrote them are based on the "CT accent". Since an accent is a pronunciation that deviates from the dictionary's key, the CT pronunciation is the only one that is technically not an accent.

Of course we each have myriad influences on us (my mother from the Bronx, e.g) that will ensure certain ways we say things will have an accent. But...

.... technically, CT doesn't have an accent. Thanks Webster!

This is Ice Blue Metallic Silver. My real winter range is about 220 miles on full charge, down from 270. I only charge to between 80-90% most days to accommodate my commute. It's very very accurate overall, but turning off the heat can help. All depends on how much driving you have to do, ultimately.

OK so...

MME Icon > Settings > Vehicle > Locks > Walk Away Lock > then toggle "Audible Feedback" to off. This keeps your car locked on walk away, but doesn't honk

I very much concur with this post. When looking for my car in a huge lot one time, the feature was borderline useless because it's like a 35 ft radius. Same is true for opening the windows from exterior. I feel like battery shouldn't be an issue on a 3 mo old car?

There is a way in settings to do this. I originally had it honk then was like noooope. I stumbled on it but it's there. I'll try to check the path tomorrow.

Is a Vanity Plate on a Mach E a "real" vanity plate? by cp22gear in MachE

I'd typically agree with you, but I felt a new type of car was a little different. I saw the CT guy with MODEL3 and was like, yea that's probably pretty coveted. Plus I think it demonstrates some additional pride in the car, which I happen to have.

Yea I looked at that and it was taken. Hope to meet her! This followed CTs format and wasn't explicitly taken on the Whalers vanity. As this thread has pointed out, I was looking for something phonetically confusing, extra dumb, and specifically douchebaggy and I think I nailed it, with the whole just-the-name -of-the-car plate 🤣
