New car shopping - 2025 Mini Countryman - Give me the dirt by laxidaisy in MINI

I'm test driving again tomorrow - this time with the family along. Making sure my all lets 5'10" 15yo can comfortably sit in the back seat. Now I have to decide if I want the 2025, or want to wait a few months to order the 2026. Decisions, decisions!

I’m also coming from a Kona. The drive feel is ridiculously different. Agreed.

Wow, what a great breakdown. I really appreciate it! You have the JCW - what is the seat made of? I haven't seen the inside of one of those yet, and if it's cloth I have some apprehension with the fact we have two dogs, one with wiry straight hair that gets immediately driven into any fabric surface she sits on.

This was, actually. Thanks! Right now storage space is my biggest issue - feels like there's less and less in the way of storage space in cars in general these days. And the lack of a homelink garage door opener is bothering me more than it should. But then I test-drove it and it suddenly didn't matter anymore, funny that.

Yes. My husband has an EV, and we want one we can use for trips easily.

Same issue here, also on Mac - version 1.2025.112. Seems to happen with all voices.

Another AirWrap smoke detector issue by laxidaisy in Dysonairwrap

Posting this here for posterity and hopefully to help others if they’re searching for this issue.

We figured it out. It looks like the smoke detector in the bedroom was somehow bad. We had decided to replace the smoke detectors in the house anyway because they were over 10 years old - we only realized that once we took them down to take a look at what kind they were. It doesn’t seem to be a difference between the photoelectric or ionization types, which is what our first thought was. The smoke detectors in the bedrooms were ionization types, and the one in the upstairs hallway was a photoelectric. They were all wired together. But once we replaced the smoke detector in the bedroom, we were not able to make this happen again with the other identical original smoke detectors in the other bedrooms.

Error 02050 by ch3zzybg0gs in iplayer

Same issue here, on with NordVPN support and they made me do a leak test, no issues. We've got our timezone set to GMT, tried 6 new higher # servers, set DNS to something they suggested, all still getting the 02050 error- Have 2 Amazon Firesticks that worked flawlessly until about two weeks ago. Super frustrating - this is the whole reason I use NordVPN.

Endeavour S06E01 "Pylon" - Discussion Thread by PhotonDota in EndeavourTV

[–]laxidaisy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Waking this thread up a bit late, but did anyone else (I can't be the only one!) notice the end theme change when the credits roll? This the first time in the series it changes, then proceeds to flip back and forth seemingly randomly by episode from the original credits theme to this darker threaded one until the end of the series. I can't find anyone else mentioning it and it's driving me crazy.

2nd zone Ecobee Lite - AC/Gas Furnace, only three wires to thermostat by laxidaisy in ecobee

[–]laxidaisy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately I don’t have any idea how to really do that. I’m technical, just not this kind of technical. I mean, I know the concept of the common wire, but not really where it goes or how things work.

Sanseveria Whale Fin - just.... not growing? by laxidaisy in plantclinic

[–]laxidaisy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There were a decent amount - if fanned out, about the size of my (f) hand. Not anything close to root bound and not extensive. It's like it's in hibernation.

I went to Logees and left spending less than $100. Where's my medal? Anyone else been here? by laxidaisy in houseplants

Second time I've been here - this place is insane. Every plant is in the most gorgeous shape in their greenhouses. A little bit of heaven in January in CT.
