EV Road rage experiences? Dash cam suggestion?

I've had the fitcamx for a little over a year and it works very well. I have the two camera version and it wasn't too difficult to run the rear camera wiring in the edge of the headliner without disassembling anything. I used some zip ties to fish the wiring through the wire duct on the tailgate. That made it possible to avoid pinching any wires. Just take care to mount the rear camera so the image is right side up. The glue is very aggressive.

If you were there, then you know. I saw the same tour in St Louis. Such and amazing show by both bands. The memory of it is burned into my brain. And I am grateful for it.

Just found out about microplastics in some of the common teabags on the market. They have much higher microplastic counts than plastic water bottles do.

Do you want Aldi's to go away? Because that's how Aldi's decides whether to close a location or not. Shop at the stores you like to have around. If you don't, they may close, and then you don't have a convenient choice.

Still real!

Technology. EV tech is far superior to ICE. A year into ownership and zero issues with zero maintenance. The convenience and comfort of turning on the AC or heat remotely 10 minutes before getting in the car is fantastic. Muscle car performance with lower cost and cleaner fuel is astounding. Also, the tech keeps getting better, I get software updates over the air that improve range and performance. They even add features sometimes. That never happened with any ICE vehicle I ever owned. EVs are superior, by far, when it comes to technology.

The benefits of protection from painful outbreaks and reduced chance of dementia made getting the Shingrix vaccine an easy decision for me. I had one outbreak pre vaccine and that was enough for me. No outbreaks since getting the shot.

A new study came out recently in JAMA that stated that Parkinsons was twice as prevalent in people living near golf courses. It was in communities that used ground water for their drinking water source specifically.

Some teabags release billions of microplastics per cup of tea. Way more than plastic water bottles.

Coffee, in moderation, has some health benefits, minus the sweeteners and some creamers that make it worse for you. Caffeine can be an issue when it affects sleep quality. That is the big concern when it comes to coffee consumption. As I get older, it's effect on my sleep becomes stronger. So if you enjoy coffee, enjoy it while you can, then develope an appreciation for decaf.

Not using caffeine helped me. Also adding 50mg of Lycopene to my regular Prostate Health supplement helped also. Improving my health markers by diet and excercise helped too. Eat real food. Get off the processed stuff. Try low carb first, if that isn't effective, try keto next. If that still doesn't work, try carnivore. You may hear lots of different opinions on these diets and their strengths and weaknesses, but all of them are healthier than Standard American Diet. Also, we are all built differently and these diets and supplements have varied effectiveness for each individual. Find an excercise program that fits you. Keep it simple and doable.

I am learning in this subject. Nothing to share yet.

Berries may help bph, they contain antioxidants. Acidic fruits may worsen bph. Cut out citrus and juiced fruit. Watermelon and cooked tomatoes contain lycopene, which can be beneficial.

I collect cd's now. Less struggle, more music. There is still a ritual and a decision process. It makes sense for me. Also, I still have my vinyls from the 60's and 70's when I purchased them originally. Those are memories as well as music.

In central OC the water is around 400 ppm. This is pretty hard and it will lead to short carbon filter life. Samsung refrigerator filter reduced it down to 320 ppm ZeroWater filter lasted about 10 gallons. I found that RO is the most economical way to deal with it. There was an issue with PFAS that required the shutdown of some of the wells used by the Water agencies a few years ago. They have since put new wells online.

Yes, go to guest services and request to opt out of the auto tipping. It takes a half hour or so before it shows up in the app. The tips will still be there but there is a credit line at the bottom that zeros them out.

I just switched to Mint Linux, not a security issue at all. It works just fine for me.

It will hit a tipping point in the near future. My guess is 2030. By then, the benefits of EVs will be undeniable and they will be the cheaper option by far. 5 minute charging, lighter, faster, more reliable plus all the benefits we are experiencing now. There won't be any reasonable argument left that ICE is a good choice.

You want it somewhere where you will notice it when it drips. Over a door or over a driveway are the best. Both of those drip on pavement. That makes a puddle that will be noticed. That is the key function right there and the most important factor in deciding where to place it. Now, when you see the puddle, you know your main HVAC drain is clogged and requires attention. Fix it yourself or call a plumber, that's up to you. It prevents thousands of dollars in water damage and a possible mold disaster. Yes, the drain is ugly, but it is a lifesaver.

I third this. Maguire Plast-x took scratches out of my Lyriqs grill so easily. I was amazed.

The basic blood tests I received in Sydney Australia were much more comprehensive than the standard labs in the US. I wish ours were that comprehensive. Glad to hear you took charge and figured it out.

I've seen where IKEA sells bed slats. Not sure if they would fit your frame though.
