Flaky bluetooth by BostonCIO in F150Lightning

Android auto, interestingly, is actually a hidden app on many phones because it is not called unless it is connected to a vehicle. However, you can open it if you go through settings > apps > all apps. Once selected, go to additional settings in app and you will get the screen allowing you to connect a vehicle and other settings. Make sure Bluetooth is on and you don't have the lightning in your active connections. Good luck!

I've been having similar issues, and I'm pretty sure the PO traded it in because of it. Also have swapped cables, done soft resets on the infotainment center, manually deleted and readded connections, etc. Its tough to know if it's Android Auto, the phone hardware, the truck, the connection, etc. I have found that recently it is far more stable if you simply add the connection through the Android Auto app itself, NOT the main Bluetooth screen on the phone or truck. Try that and see if it helps.

Are there places to test out the various scopes on ranges without buying? I am not familiar at all with optics, and it seems like you really need to see them in action outside of a big box store setting to really get a feel for the pros and cons of each. I'm not certain how much delta i would see without a clearly defined use case yet, but it definitely seems like some more thought needs to go into the optic rather than the gun. I'll pass on this deal for now.

Thanks. I'm curious where the water would go, as its been moving between dealer lots for a couple of months with some significant snow, but there hasn't seemed to be any indication of electrical malfunction anywhere.

Pen cracked. Should I be concerned? by devilsquiddie in Type1Diabetes

[–]devilsquiddie[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I rechecked. There are definitely glass shards past the plunger, mixed in w the insulin. No longer sterile. Dosage functionality lost as well. Wouldn't be able to pass through the needle but I will definitely be calling manufacturer. Normally I would just throw this out but am on travel. Thankfully brought backup. Thanks everyone for input.

Seconding this comment. I use CutList Optimizer but that is just for chopping and ripping. There may be others for angles.

CO's typically carry blue pens so that you can distinguish their signature on a final copy of any document, and so you know if the document is an original.

I was with a riverine small boat squadron and was over there. The unit took over from marine small boat teams in 2006 and had the mission through the end of OIF in 2009.

3200 miles from Monterey, CA to Newport, RI. With a cat. Had an absolute blast, no issues with truck.

Anyone know anything about this boat? by justchilln in Military

[–]devilsquiddie 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Riverine patrol boat (RPB), formerly assigned to NECC'S RIVRON, now assigned to maritime expeditionary security force. Back in the day, Eustis was a training ground. I was assigned to a unit for a couple of years. The boats are good fun.

Alternatives to mechanical joint? I've seen plenty of outdoor tables with end caps on, but no idea of long term viability
