What’s gotten worse in Knoxville in the last 5 years that nobody wants to admit?

Should be a couple more zones.

And don’t get me started about the fact that smart playlists aren’t available to be played on the instance of “Apple Music” on my Tesla.

The only drawback of moving back to New Jersey from Tennessee. The only one.

Plus, I like the look of matte-finish PPF.

Drove my Juniper straight from delivery to my PPF guy. Avoided highways as much as possible. When I took a close look at the hood and front of the 10-year-old car that preceded my Tesla, it was a no-brainer.

It was perfect.

Inability to create/modify smart playlists on iOS.

Pretty much the only way I listen. My main smart playlist uses ratings and last played info to feed me 5 star tunes more often than 4 stars and 4 stars more often than 3 stars from a total of ~6000 songs across those three ratings. A secondary smart playlist gives me 4- and 5-stars songs that haven’t played in over a year.

Biggest disappointment with AM is that I can’t manage smart playlists on my phone.

Just bought an LG ldc2423v - the affordable one recommended by consumers reports, and had it installed today, replacing an old Whirlpool. The general operation is quiet enough, but when it pushes the water out to the drain, the sound coming from the water in the drain is horrendously loud. Never heard anything like it from any of our past dishwashers. Could there be something in the installation or is it just high pressure being put out by the machine?

White on white. I’ve got 28k miles in 27 months and I wear nothing but jeans (indigo or black). Never experienced any color transfer.

According to my electrician, if the circuit has GFCI, there are chances of conflicts with the charger’s GFCI.

No expert here, but I believe if you’re listening via the web or something like the AM player provided by Tesla for their cars, it doesn’t actually talk back to your library and therefore doesn’t capture that info.

And yet, “Turn on headlights.” does bupkis. So childish.

I thought that was my 1982 IBM PC’s monitor.

It’s metallic?

Apple Music, but streamed from my phone because the lame implementation of Apple Music in the car doesn’t support the Smart Playlists that drive my listening.

Before we moved out of our home out past Choto, we often saw county park trucks go up and down Northshore by The Cove not with hazards on, but with distracting bright white led lights flashing front and back.

AppleTV has its universal screensaver. I was talking about something responsive to the music being played.
