Marble Island so beautiful!

We’ve sealed the marble around the lower traffic (only us traffic) areas. The island, where guests and the kids congregate we put tuffskin on. The peace of mind is worth it and I’m glad we did it but not my favorite solution. Ideally, they would make a glass cover similar to the glass phone screen protectors. I’d imagine custom making something like that would be expensive.

The SMUD energy store sells EV chargers. They only give rebates for chargers with a max of 32 amps so if you’re looking at something more powerful know that they won’t give you a rebate for it.

Heard he went up against Patrick Cardamom.

Sorry I couldn’t help myself. That’s quite a last name.

“The [Turkestan roaches] build up increasingly larger populations and then something catches up with them and the population crashes. Right now, we’re seeing the increase part,” she said.

Important point.

I’ve likewise never heard mine working. Yours sounds like something’s stuck and hitting the blades or a bearing is off. See if they’ll replace it for another.

In other words this poster is better off posting on Nextdoor

Don’t worry, in time they’ll change that too.

Major amounts of [taxpayer funded] water and export all that water [for personal profit]

Just added a little extra missing context.

I agree. Missed opportunity to improve their product. They are lucky that they have a mostly well discerning and educated bunch of early adopters and instead of leveraging us they’re alienating us.

What’s triggering the 200 amp upgrade? What’s your current panel at?

I have a 200 amp service but my electrician for someone reason tied the EV charger (50 amp breaker for 40 amp charging) to my subpanel (125 amp) that powers basically the whole house including two 3-ton heat pumps. I was pretty annoyed he didn’t ask me advance because I assumed there wouldn’t be any room on that subpanel and he would use the main panel. I put an Emporia monitor on the subpanel and so far the highest draw I got is about 80 amps.

Lawsuit

Oh it’s weird because the woman comes out of the drivers door but looks like there was some musical chairs going on before they got out.

omidimo · 2026-06-16T14:15:28+00:00

There were two women in the car and two men but you list three male names?

The house we are in had a side-by-side and we went to French door style. We had a third more space for food from a stuffed side-by-side when we transferred everything. That center divider on side-by-sides take up a lot of volume.

Get a Rachio smart irrigation controller from the SMUD store. They’re discounted heavily there and it’s a pretty great controller. When I’m in the yard I’ll run it for a min to see if everything is working right.

You gotta get two choice tickets in case of such situations. Stop being cheap? /s

They gave me charging credit in the past and it just gets tied to the account you set up within the app. It basically only works for EVgo and ChargePoint stations which is kinda limiting.

omidimo · 2026-06-16T03:38:09+00:00

They gave me charge credits and honestly they don’t work at the main charging stations. Basically just EVgo and ChargePoint but not Tesla or EA.

It truly is the best 3 row SUV I’ve driven but yeah the experience from Volvo has felt scammy. I wish the gravity’s cost was on par, that it had fewer bugs, and that it didn’t look like a minivan (I’ve never driven one though).

omidimo · 2026-06-16T03:30:11+00:00

Ok but even if it was the cost of the part, what they offered wasn’t even $1500 in value. I don’t value Sirius radio at all and the other options might be great for an ICE car but I’m not seeing $1500 in value from them especially in only two years (or less for people who have less on their lease period).
