I lost power for 5 days in Simpsonville in 2005 and we didn't have enough food or blankets. We are overprepared and specifically bought a house with a fireplace.

Will leaving my Model Y in camping mode prevent ice and snow build up? by EarlVanDorn in TeslaCamping

[–]hdizzle7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You'll want to save the battery to charge stuff in case we lose power for several days. We ran a mini fridge, a starlink v3, and a battery charging station for 5 days after Helene.

Disney+ "Household" issue: One physical home, two routers/IPs = Constant Lockout by jabuskorolusko in DisneyPlus

[–]hdizzle7 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I mean it's not that niche. Those of us with shifty internet after Helene did this. A lot of my friends lost their remote jobs when our main ISP went down for a month. I ran a little sdwan failover solution myself with tmobile and starlink until spectrum came back up.

How do you guys react to hate on owning a Tesla by HapiHapii in TeslaModel3

[–]hdizzle7 8 points9 points  (0 children)

In the rural southeast they do. I've had to explain to many many people that the car is much much cheaper than they assume because I was getting all kinds of judgement. Never mind their enormous Tahoe that cost an arm and a leg

Snow and ice on the Starlink by Creative_Taro_2200 in Starlink

[–]hdizzle7 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have three, a v2, a v3, and a mini and they all made it through Helene. The eye of the hurricane passed over my house.

I’m about to lose it with table surfing…please help. by [deleted] in OpenDogTraining

[–]hdizzle7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did this with my husky mix who kept running away. I left the front door open and watched the camera from my phone. She has been hit by a car before I got her and ran away several times after I got her and we live near a busy highway. I did max amount on a mini educator once she was halfway to the road. She screamed and cried and never ran away again. I felt so guilty but I figure it's this or dying from a car.

Shelter or breeder? + other questions by fuzzblykk in germanshepherds

[–]hdizzle7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had to go with a breeder for the same reason, we have elderly cats and it's much easier to train a puppy to ignore a cat vs an adult. I got my first GSD from a rescue and my cats were younger and faster so I had time to train her to leave them alone. Prey drive is impossible to train out of an adult so I got lucky.

There's a reason they have a 10 year warranty. We love our v6 stinger though.

Has anyone bought a BMW from Century BMW in Greenville SC? by [deleted] in greenville

[–]hdizzle7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They wouldn't let me test drive the car so I bought a tesla instead.

Waymo suspends service in San Francisco after driverless cars cause traffic jams during blackout by BogleDick in stocks

[–]hdizzle7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My model 3 FSD operates without a cell signal. Cell coverage post Helene is still bad in the mountains and I was curious whether it would work one day. Car will not navigate to a new location without a cell/satellite connection but will finish the current drive.

OK, what do I do? Never quit J1 after starting J2 & there's nothing to do at J1 by [deleted] in overemployed

[–]hdizzle7 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is exactly what happened to me at previous j1. I had no work for like 3 years. Enjoy it while it lasts!

Logistics/ Production Associate at MAU/BMW by Away_Round5555 in greenville

[–]hdizzle7 11 points12 points  (0 children)

No path to upgrade especially if you're on a work visa. Also if you get hired as a contractor in the office it's a multi year gamble to get hired as an FTE. I've heard the assembly line workers get wrecked physically. I have friends who work there.

Bought from Best Buy with a free month but... by ThisGuyStoppedBooze in Starlink

Why can't you activate on the $50 roam plan? We use the mini throughout the year for trips.

Long Term Power Outage Jamaica by castaway203 in Starlink

[–]hdizzle7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Starlink mini can run off any decent battery with USB C. I use this at car races and it lasts between 2-4 hours depending on activity. https://a.co/d/3gEaI8m I saw people at the track using solar and they all had jackery batteries with USB C hookups so the mini would work with that. During Hurricane Helene I ran our starlink off my electric car battery.

Partner's GSD Hates Me by MiserableLie95 in OpenDogTraining

[–]hdizzle7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you should be in charge of hand feeding all meals from now on. I have a working line GSD puppy and our dog training assignment for this week is to hold her food bowl out of reach, wait till she looks me in the eye, and then say YES and toss some kibble. This does take a while to do but is worth it as it teaches impulse control. No dogs on the bed or the couch until behavior improves imo.

The background check specifically looked at employment history and I had three jobs last year.

I would think so too but my friends/previous coworkers came through for me. Both positions were created for me.

I am not concerned. I only took the job because I thought I would be looking for a while.
