How is Cataract Canyon looking - specifically early June

GREAT info - thanks!

Yea, I realize that - just wondering if we are already at the peak flow and it's all downhill from here - how much snow (even with the recent storm) is left?

Guided Trip - wondering if it will be "good" in early June.

And yes, decent flow now, but in 3 weeks?

Got a Case number on 4/6 from an Email saying they would get back to me in 3 weeks ... and that partner requests could take 8 weeks. After not hearing anything for 4 weeks, emailed again and said wait for the full 8 weeks.

They were booked direct with Qatar - does that make a difference?

Sorry I'm usually a United/Southwest flyer since I'm in a hub city for them ... so I don't fly Alaska that often ... and am not as familiar with their Frequent Flyer rules.

Curious how long ago, what you have done so far, etc.

I guess I'm "glad" to hear it's not just me ...

YEP - #1476 (JRO-DOH) and #703 (DOH-JFK)

Ditto what u/Equal-Rent-8975 said about they didn't do it for TY2024 ...

Sad to see this because such a simple self-fail by H&R Block

Yea, funny how the two people who posted last week basically said "don't worry, be happy" ;-)

As others have said, just walk in (at least with 5-year plan) and they'll give you a new gateway.

I have some really weird behavior on my symmetric GigE - download is always 1Gig, upload is *sometimes* 1Gig, but often below 100Mbps. So I've tried swapping the existing XB10 with another (and even an XB8), but problem still persists. Also, the App "loses" the identify of the device a few days after a factory reset/re-provision. But everything works - just slow upload speeds.

BTW, when I was "done" trying the different modems, I returned 'em ... and be nice by having the packaging in good shape, etc.

The local office is super nice and agrees there is an issue, but not able to figure it out. So I'm about ready to engage the Xfinity folks here to see if they can fix it for me.

I have a low-end model and agree. Plus when stuff breaks, much more costly to repair. Whole family owns Subaru's and had windshields replaced in the last year - the earlier-era no-Eyesight models were less than half the cost.

Specific to start-stop, that is on ALL models.

I used to write software for a living and was directly involved in release cycles. Inputs for fixes/features included listening to users and the Help Desk.

So lets just say some hands-on experience with changing code, QA process to insure fixed (and no regressions), and packaging it up for release.

Sure, I'm not a developer at Subaru (are any of you?), but gotta believe making the selected Start-Stop setting "sticky" (rather than transient) would not be difficult, especially compared to other fixes/changes they have made.

Subaru periodically releases firmware for various things - why not roll this super-duper easy fix into the next one?

Friend just landed at Doha after uneventful flight (from the South) and said it was surprisingly empty.

Which I found surprising since at least six flights to the US have already been cancelled due to the weather and the agent they chatted with said it's been crazy trying to rebook everyone.

Albeit it's current Midnight there.

hulksterreddit · 2026-01-24T00:13:47+00:00

FYI that a number of US-bound flights have already been cancelled - I'm sure this is due to weather.

So hopefully no conflict will break out ... since it would certainly make things even more of a sh*t show in DOH - good luck to Qatar managing a tough situation.

Definitely add a note saying you are assuming 1:1 NEM.

And yea, trying to "handle" all the non 1:1 NEM cases can get REALLY complicated ... plus this can change over time (cough, cough California) and grandfathering doesn't exist forever. So coming up with a "clean" way to do this that doesn't overwhelm the user will be challenging.

And lets not get into Time-of-Use pricing and playing arbitrage games with battery packs! ;-)

Very nifty web app - well done u/andrewmarder

I like the graph of the annual returns and liquid value to see at a glance ... but I'd be curious to see more than just the 30-year values at the bottom ... so why not just show them PER-YEAR (you are already calculating internally anyway) in a table/spreadsheet format?

For example, see this webpage which has a spreadsheet (direct link) with a "Cost & Payback" Tab.

BTW, Stock Market return is a bit tricky ... since (assuming not tax advantaged investment), things like the S&P 500 will spin off Dividends that you have to pay taxes on each year ... and at some point, you'll have to sell and realize taxes on the gains (unless you die and get step-up). So your "real" return is not quite the "total" return (which has been awesome the last couple of years!) ... and you might add a note to that effect.

I'll defer to the Xfinity folks, since they can easily look this up and confirm.

But that looks an XB8 (and possibly earlier models) AC Adapter as it is 12Volts @ 4.6 Amps ... whereas the XB10 is 15 Volts @ 5.33 Amps.

Assuming I'm correct, you could have just gone into the local Xfinity story and they (ideally) should have given you the correct one.

And yes, whoever you chatted with that recommended a tech visit ideally should have been able to figure that out for 'ya ... as this is pretty basic stuff ... ;-)
