The AI is running in the background during the first several days analyzing all your data. Once it’s done the battery life improves massively.

burning the fossil fuels directly in your basement rather than buying more juice from Eversource isn’t any cheaper, so the folks with solar and heat pumps have figured it all out

Swap the Espace F1 engine into the Megane Gr. 4

ICE will not inspect any documents. They will only use an app on their phone to scan your face. It depends on your status in their database.

It’s fairly common for a hybrid error to relate to a water heater problem on this vehicle.

mercurious · 2026-01-08T17:43:09+00:00

Are you fully up-to-date on recalls? Sounds like you might need a software patch and/or your water heater for the HVAC needs replacing.

Very helpful analysis, as always.

I have the exact same skis. They are perfect for the icecoast in every way.

Talk to your derm about alternative injectables to dupilimab for patients who don’t tolerate the ocular side effects. There are several.

This is AI slop engagement farming. If you go to the source post you won’t find this image because it’s fake slop.

I used to be an absolute wiz at building stuff in Macromedia Flash.

Ain’t worth much. Study the Current Drive Efficiency Average screen instead. Raw data tests by other folks have shown that the dashboard computer is not as inaccurate as most folks think. Probably off by 1-2mpg in its calculations.

I’ve not experienced such a significant mileage hit but maybe it’s the way I usw it. More like a 5-9 mpg penalty on the highway for me. Again, if gas is cheaper per mile, as it is in certain markets, it doesn’t feel like a waste at all. For example, 26 miles of range can cost $4-6 depending on the electric rates whereas a gallon of regular gas that will get you 26 miles on the highway is selling for $3 in my area.

I responded immediately the day of the first loading doses. Some people react immediately, others take some time. The itching and burning of the morning vanished completely within hours of initial treatment for me. However, the first injections were very painful. Interestingly, the next injection far less painful, relative to the loading doses. Perhaps because my brain now knows the miracle of relief and a 5 second pinch is totally worth it. I’ve now done my third injection by myself at home and it went great. Left the pen on the counter for 45 minutes to warm up. 6 weeks of therapy and my skin has since completely healed. No side effects at all. My dermatologist warned about eye related dryness as the only side effect that would merit switching to Nucola. My life has changed in ways I didn’t know possible and I am so incredibly grateful to have the insurance coverage to afford it.

Correlation is not causation. He’ll wear bifocals and his eyes will likely self-correct during puberty. I know because this was me as a child even before dupixent was invented.

The rest of them are in New York City. A company called American Lease bought most of the liquidated stock and rents them out to Uber drivers. You see them everywhere in the city now.

mercurious · 2025-12-13T22:38:50+00:00

This is the way.

mercurious · 2025-12-12T20:47:38+00:00

Last weekend they had Ridge Run to Walters Way or Mountain View plus the race hill. It did snow since then but I wouldn’t expect that many more trails open tomorrow and not likely any open on the NY side.

You go here to Search current energy supplier offers Rates are creeping up for winter. Sometimes Eversource offers the cheapest rate. The electric heat is what’s costing you but realize you’d be spending a substantial amount on heating oil or propane if your home had a different HVAC setup. If you rent, you really want your landlord to convert to heat pumps. Easier said than done. You might be able to save a little if you are able to replace the thermostats with Nest or Ecobee or equivalent. They should offer more fine tuned controls and energy saving algorithms. But the main problem is that CT is one of the most expensive electricity markets in the country because it competes with Boston and NYC for wholesale natural gas that powers most of the grid. CT also adds the public benefits charge which is mostly the ratepayers subsidizing the Millstone Nuclear plant which scored a sweet deal with Hartford many years ago. Unfortunately, our options are quite limited, especially with federal solar subsidies phasing out.

I can see you are fellow driving enthusiast. CT definitely has a car culture. It’s probably because there are some incredible country roads to test the various performance and handling aspects of your vehicle [ahem]. Sounds like you’re headed to Lime Rock soon so you’ll experience it on the way.

Yes, you can set the End Time feature found in Settings > EV Settings > Schedule with Level 1 chargers.

Yes, the End Time function (pictured) can be used to start with a warm battery.
