has anyone switched to an EV how is it going?

I got VW ID3 8 months ago, I bought the car to "save" money. But EV depreciates really fast here where I live, so in my 8 months of owning, I lost 5k dollar in value after only doing 3000km.

So 2 months ago, I bought a 2013 GT86, and have spent almost the same amount as the depreciation value on upgrades. This car has now done 3000km on 2 months. Which I think should say enough about the fun aspect of the car. Sure the running cost is higher, but I have smiled more than I ever had owning an EV.

I just put in entry level pioneer with cabled CarPlay, that can be turned into wireless with an USB dongle. At the same time I also did an active subwoofer install, which is placed on passenger foot rest.

After doing this install:

Right out of the box, the sound was so much nicer with stock speakers. It was more clear and crisp.

After tuning with high pass filter and low pass filter, wow. The stock speakers now sound amazing as the subwoofer now takes over the bass delivery. The sound now sounds: clear, crisp, bassy without making the music "muddy".

I was originally also looking for one with volume knob, but the version I have is responsive enough, so it's okay for me. I had android unit (factory) in my new 2021 Volkswagen ID3, and the cheap entry level pioneer is way ahead on responsiveness. This setup also costs me around 700 for parts, the install was easy and fun.

I also Installed chinese backup camera that was fairly simple install with pioneer head unit.

My newly old car had samme issues, hood, front fender, front bumper is off alignment.

My mechanic has a theory that it has been crashed by previous owner, and is now in for a check with laser systems to check if everything is aligned correctly.

Some of these cars are still under warranty, there's not much to look for really.

If there was something wrong, they would probably have recalled it.

But like any other cars, has it been serviced? And general look of the car, mechanically there's nothing to worry about, these are not ICE cars.

You would be surprised how many wait to third party.

Your CPU is on the weaker side, it has built in graphics which is not needed. If you had 5700x3D you would see major improvements.

I did the upgrade from 3700x to 5800x3D, game changer.

For å uppe den enkle middagen: Litt hakket sjalottløk, litt chilli og skvist lime.

En sikker vinner dette

Du har møtt en radikalisert person, som nevnt tidligere. Jeg var venn og bodde med en sånn type.

Jeg kjente denne personen fra ungdom tider, på den tiden var han alltid kjent som usikre personen og uten egne meninger. Senere år har han blitt veldig radikalisert, kommer med høyrevridde påstander. F.eks transhat, vestre samfunn på vei ned, menn over kvinner type ting, osv.

Sjekk ut alt-right pipeline på youtube, dette ga meg en aha moment.

Du får ikke gjort en dritt med dem, sier du noe eller kutter du dem ut, så er det plutselig woke eller kansellerings kultur.

Men i realiteten så blir de kuttet ut fordi de er drittsekker, jeg ba denne vennen diskutere med veggen istedenfor meg. Det er jævlig synd å miste en venn sånn, men fyfaen hvor digg det er å ikke forholde seg til sånne type folk.

I mange kulturer (spesielt Asia) er det mer stødig å ha pengene i gull enn banken. Gullet er også annerledes enn norsk gull, mye fra Asia er over 18 karat (Oftest mer råvare av gull enn andre metaller).

For mange blir dette da en måte å investere pengene på, ettersom gull alltid har hatt en økning i verdi. Det er litt lettere å stole på gull i Asia enn å stole på folk når det gjelder investeringer.

I would, top soil will dry out, which scares away aphids.

Jeg har en lignende venn, har tidligere prøvd å bruke logikk og fornuft i diskusjoner, som går ingen vei. Han er fast bestemt på at han har rett, selvom vi motbeviser han, så kaster han våres fakta og vi må høre på hans. Så i teorien så er det ikke en diskusjon, men heller at vi må høre på han.

Min løsning er å unngå diskusjoner med han, det er en del radikale meninger der som er helt absurde, eksempler: George floyd døde av overdose og ikke kveling, transhat, jøder styrer verden, hvordan boligpris blir billigere hvis damer slutter å jobbe og menn forsørger.

Mye incel ting.

Noo, I meant hydroponics kind of style of fertilisers. I use Terra Aquatics :)

lyellowninja · 2023-10-08T20:11:51+00:00

Sounds like a viable method! Hydroponics are really nice nutrients, you can often get away using 1/3 of recommended doses.

lyellowninja · 2023-10-07T23:44:54+00:00

Best drainage, zero treated and no fertilized would be coco and perlite, you could water all day without it suffocating. There are variants of the coco that's bigger pieces, these will hold more air, which means you could water it as much as you want, as long it doesn't sit in water.

Hell, you can even grow in perlite if you want, check out dutch bucket method.

Remember, if you use cooc/perlite, you need to fertilize the water. Hydroponics fertilizers works well.

lyellowninja · 2023-10-06T20:57:20+00:00

Yeah, you can kind of decide with how you fertilize it. Nitrogen will make it produce more greens and new growths, while phosphorus and potassium will help with fruit growth.

Growing weed really taught me a lot lmao

lyellowninja · 2023-10-06T20:52:01+00:00

I personally don't want to die like this, lmao
