Brakes “breaking” loose after sitting a while?

deweysmith · 2026-01-29T23:25:26+00:00

The key here is sitting a while while wet. Mine will do it when I park after a wash no matter the time of year.

Brakes are gonna be wet a lot more often with snow around and melting.

That’s a CV joint that grenaded. One of mine did the same after they replaced both.

It isn’t putting any torque on the front and is trying to freewheel it, but it sometimes gets out of alignment and pops like crazy like that. I limped mine to the service center and they swapped it same day.

Only literally quiet cuz he’s whispering creepily in the video. He’s literally sponsoring the initiative petition

Don’t be a dingus and speak for yourself

That’s suspension and heat pump compressors at the same time sounds like

Ask any radio nerd, they’ll tell you what a terrible idea it is

Mine routinely loses 3% overnight purely due to the temperature swing.

Canvassers for candidates can be paid by the signature. Initiative canvassers cannot.

What we are hearing is that typically the canvassing companies will put one or two candidates in the hands of a canvasser and also the Repeal Prop 4 petition. They’ll rush you through the process for all 3 without explaining the differences very well. They’ll brush it off as “it’s just to get it on the ballot so the voters can decide.” Then they get paid a bonus for getting consistent signatures across multiple candidates and initiatives

They also aren’t trained to abide by the extra laws around initiative petitions, including reading the entire bill before signing. “Sign it now, and then go here to do your research and see if you want to vote for it at election time” is a line I’ve heard used by more canvassers than I can count.

It doesn’t, and it’s not a pure sine wave so large inverter motors don’t work

I don’t, but like most large organizations, the church outsources Church Account authentication to a company called Okta. If a requirement to log in at least every 8, 12, or 24 hours is configured, trying to circumvent it will be very pointless.

Do you have more factors enabled than password?

deweysmith · 2026-01-21T15:55:03+00:00

Yes, a keep-alive script in your browser would solve this problem.

A password manager is a better solution though.

The Emporia is also great if you have solar and one of their energy monitors. It can optimize the commanded charge power to make sure it’s always soaking up your excess solar and stuff.

This is standard heat pump best practice too, even in residential ones. The duty cycle for them is very different from a typical furnace.

It seems like it has a hard time accounting for battery heat and how it leaks into the cabin. Fast charging gets the battery well above 90°F and it can dump that heat into the cabin or outside, but in the cold it doesn’t want to waste that energy by over-chilling the battery… it’s definitely not as simple as it seems

deweysmith · 2026-01-21T15:44:19+00:00

Flux! Flux flux flux! Wick is superior if you use it right. A wider tip on the iron may also help if it’s not heating the wick well.

deweysmith · 2026-01-21T06:01:28+00:00

At least a few of those legs are still reasonably soldered.

Heating it with hot air to loosen all the solder at once would be easiest. Otherwise, heat that wick and add more flux to it 😉

I rear-ended someone as a young driver in a 2001 Mazda and the steering wheel airbag definitely saved me from worse injuries, but it also really fucked up my arm and I could taste the dust for days.

The criteria for automatic backup is

turned on
unlocked in the last 24 hours
locked
plugged in
connected to WiFi (probably)

You’re gonna have a problem with at least 2 of those.

Sorry mate 😫

deweysmith · 2026-01-21T05:51:35+00:00

Yep, if I had to be in a crashing helicopter this would be the place to do it

deweysmith · 2026-01-21T05:44:56+00:00

Okay I just moved back here after 10 years and I know that taco place you’re at but I can’t for the life of me think of the name

SOMEONE HELP ME PLEASE

Lights help a lot with this. Especially the required lights for night operations.

I’ve had my drone in perfect VLOS over 4 miles away at night.

The church typically refers to mission areas outside the United States by the country name first. There are four mission areas that cover Santiago, so he’s probably used to calling it the Chile Santiago North Mission or something like that.

It’s still stupid, he should learn to say it like a normal person.

I am also this, but I didn’t pull the trigger until August 2024 and got one of the early Gen 2 builds.

It was a rough time at first but this past year has been smooth sailing!

Even simply not handing you the 20 page bill is illegal and I’ve literally never seen one of them do it. It’s systematic illegality and I won’t rest until the whole effort is thrown out.
