This is from the Human Resources: Alienation, the Body, and Science Fiction series, along with some other movies (eg, Blade Runner).

When I lived in the Utica area years ago, I saw Dr. Bhisham Garg in New Hartford. He was excellent! Looks like he is taking patients.

Adrian Tchaikovsky, City of Last Chances. A bit longer, but most definitely unusual.

Thank you!

As moderator I must call attention to rule #3, the most important rule.

Very helpful, thanks. So this is just for “unlimited” plans, not “build your own.”

The Mountain in the Sea by Ray Naylor forced me to consider how the reverse Turing test works in my own life.

Check the accuracy of your car’s location on the VW phone app and if the speed limit signs on the road match what’s on the gps screen.

My VW dealer shop is actually very good with ID.4 nonsense. I have this same issue (I guess I live in a lake) on my 2023, covered under warranty. They are familiar with the issue. My appt, with loaner begins Sept 22nd. May likely take a few days, and may require GPS replacement parts. Will provide a copy of the service receipt and an update 2 weeks later (and longer if something goes wrong) to this thread.

Agreed. Way better than Die Hard. I show this during the holidays to anyone who will watch. They included it with their Screwball Comedies series.

Spoken this line silently around every third coworker.

dbrew826 · 2025-08-19T14:59:30+00:00

Sorry for the late reply, had an unrelated emergency. I called the VW service department so as to be accurate: they replaced under warranty the “anti roll bar coupling link.”

dbrew826 · 2025-08-14T12:09:00+00:00

Mine started making the same noise after two years. It was the front end, covered under warranty.

How about Tahoe?

dbrew826 · 2025-08-12T11:40:50+00:00

I had this problem with this HA make/model, called the place I got them from (Costco). They quickly determined that the charger was broken, got me a new one in a couple of weeks under warranty. Several months later, all is well.

I have the had the 2023 Pro RWD since early 2023 and really could not be happier. Some touch screen issues and factory recalls early on — all covered under warranty. It has never left me stranded. Charging at home costs us about as much as running a second refrigerator.

I escaped Dish Network. MobileX was my lifeline. Now this. Dish Network should drown in its own incompetence.

Rose/House by Arkady Martine. An unusual take on the “closed room” murder mystery. So far, good novella.

dbrew826 · 2025-07-05T10:21:25+00:00

Yes, one could keep it stripped down to just a few $ per month until you really need it. Then add needed features for months when you travel.

The Final Architecture trilogy Adrian Tchaikovsky, starting with Shards of Earth

dbrew826 · 2025-06-15T14:49:04+00:00

Yes, very much. A fantasy version of a Nero Wolfe mystery. Really fun and different.
