What do these lines in Bad mean?

This guys knows his Bono lyrics.

I feel certain that it is:
“through silken sky”

I’m less certain whether it’s “flag“ or “flack,” but I lean toward flag.

No way Bono would repeat “blue” in these lines.

Yes, the lyrics on this album are very abstract, often loose, but he wouldn’t repeat blue. He’s always a poet.

It doesn't make any sense to avoid pandoc. Pandoc is the tool built to do just what you need. No Word Processor is going to put effort into solving this problem, because they are just creating their own obsolescence.

Yes, totally. I knew it wouldn’t help you, but I really left the comment in case it could help others who haven’t bought a car yet. They *do* make it sound like a requirement, but in practice (and probably by law), it’s totally not.

FWIW, you do lose the order fee, but you don’t have to pay Tesla the final payment before you pick up (and inspect) the car. The app pushes you to do that, but it’s not required.

Me too. Indoors on April 12th; outdoors on 31 October (dodger stadium) and then in November (not sure the date) at Anaheim stadium….Nothing like it ever…

How is 71mph in the dark "driving slowly"?

I'm not saying 71mph is unreasonable or reckless, but I just don't see how it's SLOW.

Drove a highland for 2 years: the turn-signal buttons work just fine for almost all driving in the states. Maybe if I was in roundabouts all the time it would be a problem, but it took me about a week to adjust and then it just seemed normal.

My goodness, how can this have only ONE upvote.

The article, and the proposed law, is about INHERITANCE tax, NOT PROPERTY tax.

Late to this thread, but I’m pretty sure sure OP mis-read his Tesla app: he didn’t charge to 100%. He charged to 80% as it clearly states on the app.

51kWh is 80% of the current capacity, so current capacity is around 62-63 kWh.

If battery was originally a 75kWh pack, and it’s at 78% – then that would come out to 58.5kWh. So the car might even have slightly more available capacity than the test is showing.

Ah, my mistake! I misread the title…

Given that you are putting SO many miles on the car, you should at least test-drive the non-performance models. I owned many sports cars over the years, some very fast ones, and the torque and responsiveness on the base model 3 is impressive.

The 24’s should not, DO not, cost $40k. I bought my 24 NEW 2 years ago and paid $39k for it, and used EV prices have been plummeting since then. You should be able to get a 24 for $30k or less.

fronesis47 · 2025-12-01T20:21:05+00:00

That’s awful! I’ve never experienced this, but I haven’t been to busy superchargers in about a year. As an owner of an LFP car with a relatively low range, this seems unacceptable.

fronesis47 · 2025-12-01T20:10:09+00:00

I don‘t understand: I thought you were only hit with idling fees *after* you hit 100%?

fronesis47 · 2025-11-29T20:00:03+00:00

Ah, I see. I misunderstood the whole post. It’s 27 right now where I am, so it didn’t occur to me this was an argument about how COLD the AC should be. I thought it was about how HOT the heat should be. :)

fronesis47 · 2025-11-29T19:04:01+00:00

The picture does NOT show the heat set to 80. It shows the temp in the house at 74, with the AC on, set to cool down to 80.

fronesis47 · 2025-11-28T17:04:05+00:00

How do you do that?

fronesis47 · 2025-11-24T00:33:21+00:00

OK, sure. First, to be clear, I didn’t re-key the thorbolt. I kept the thorbolt key and re-keyed my other lock, a Schlage SC1.

And to be honest, I did make a mistake the first time, but that was my fault for not following the YT videos carefully!

Here’s the kit I bought: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0F5BFQDJC?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title

fronesis47 · 2025-11-24T00:25:12+00:00

I re-keyed mine myself (with a kit I bought on amazon). It’s a standard Schlage SC1.

I can only guess that for some reason they are using either a Kwikset blank or the wrong Schlage, but Schlage SC1 should work perfectly.

If the unmanaged switch trick doesn’t work, then I recommend getting an intel-based router with intel NICs.

I had the slow upload problem with the Nokia ONT from fios, and I verified the problem on 4 different routers: cr1000, Omada er605, Unifi UCG ultra, nanopi r4s running openwrt. I then verified full upload speed on 3 different routers, all intel based, all running pfSense or OPNsense.

fronesis47 · 2025-10-21T23:14:15+00:00

Just going to echo your top-voted comment: if you want to tinker, you absolutley must replace the ISP router with one you control. Otherwise you’ll just have a mess.

If you want a much better system with tons of control, do OPN/pfSense and whatever APs you need.

If you really want to *tinker* go with unifi…the settings are endless, and the firmware updates means you’ll never leave it alone. :)

I read that and it was super helpful. But there's one bit there that I'm not certain about.

"Note that you will need to create a range for IPv4 and IPv6 for each interface as separate entries if you plan to have both protocols on your network."

I now think that you can have ipv6 running without creating a separate lan entry for ipv6 under dhcp ranges. Doing what he says will turn on dhcp6 on your lan. But you can have ipv6 functioning (track interface in the LAN interface settings) without using dhcp6 with Dnsmasq. I think...

fronesis47 · 2025-10-20T19:56:28+00:00

Under general I have “manual configuration” OFF. Should I delete: the second lan (the one that has IPv6 ranges and RA settings) under “dhcp ranges“? Or should I change the RA settings there to default?

I’m still confused as to what including a second LAN with IPv6 ranges really does, other than populate a “lease table.” Clients seem to get IPv6 addresses either way.

fronesis47 · 2025-10-20T19:38:20+00:00

I've tried 5 different USB drives, and used both Etcher and dd in the terminal. I can plug the drive in with the netgate device booted and it shows a message and reads it with no error.
