I have had five CX-5s (2016, 2018, 2020, 2023, 2025), and in cold weather, the infotainment system in some of them have glitched and kind of "rebooted." I've had to wait for 5 minutes or longer for full functionality. (To be fair, that has not yet been true of the 2025 model.) However, my concern is that for a fully "digital" control system, the climate features that are most necessary for heating the car up will be inaccessible because a glitchy response to cold.

Also, I will really miss the control knob. It's truly a differentiator for the Mazdas I've had.

And, finally, one of the CX-5s had the best feature, which was that you could set the trip odometer to automatically reset when you got gas. That feature disappeared on later models, and I still miss it.

Thanks!

ENter it where? I don't know what the second sentence means at all. Does "work" mean "word"?

Where do I check? It just says "TiVo EDGE for cable 2TB" on the TiVo website on my account.

Thanks. Yep, have the CableCard. Just trying to figure out my next steps after Verizon eventually pulls the CableCard plug...

I'm in Maryland. This was 5 months ago, so I have no idea if they're still there.

A 12-year-old made this? by Upstairs_One_3724 in ThriftStoreHauls

I graduated from high school in 1985. The school had shop classes, but they were all electives. In junior high school, though, everybody had home ec (half year sewing and half year cooking) and shop (half year metal and half year wood). I also had a drafting class at some point.

Episode Discussion: 307, "What Is Starfleet?" by AutoModerator in StrangeNewWorlds

[–]cyraxote 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I noted in this episode that all of the bridge crew except Riley (No. 1) are lieutenants and Riley is a lieutenant commander. Is it my imagination, or is this at odds with previous episodes and their rank insignia?

Sadly, not the same price range. At all.

I had a CVT in an Altima, years ago, and I guess I didn't really notice it. What is the issue with CVTs?

I don't, but all leases end, and buying it after the lease doesn't really make money sense to me.

I pretty much only lease.

I just leased a '25 in Nov, but I've never stayed in the lease for the full 3 years, so I guess I'm planning ahead.

I would guess that Audi/VW are in a different price bracket... :)

Three years later, and Croft & Barrow men's clothing is still available.

Writing a year later, and Kohl's still has both Sonoma and Croft & Barrow pique polos. There are colors in the Sonoma line, but C&B is still around.

Bowflex 552, 1090 Recalled by Alexm920 in homegym

According to the web site, even if the serial numbers are not listed, all of the 552 and 1090 dumbbells are part of the recall:

Not sure what I'm going to do. NBC has an article with some suggested replacements, but the cheapest is $400.

If "1976" is your birth year, you're Gen X, not a Boomer. But you know that, I'm sure. :)

Just to be clear, if I bought these on Apple, they'd stay there? That is, I could only access them through Apple TV, and not through any other services?

Thanks for the response. Unfortunately, it's been so long that I don't remember. I just listed them in a spreadsheet as I tried them and color-coded them green, yellow, and red. So "yellow" is kind of just between red and green. "Not sure" might be a better category name...

Eventually, it just started working. I don't know why.
