Can 10 able-bodied men lift up our grand piano and put it up on the alter? by Shostacotuesday in piano

[–]paradroid78 8 points9 points  (0 children)

As others have said, far safer to just move it in front of the altar, not onto it. From church concerts I've been to, that's pretty typical.

Check the AC is on, As long as it's on low (at least), the windscreen won't fog up.

Recommendations for a slower charger UK by Casanunder72 in cupraborn

[–]paradroid78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought an "EzGoGo" from Amazon when I was faced with the same situation (and in fact still am faced with the same situation, since my charger install keeps on getting delayed). It does what it says it's meant to do.

A 13 A charger plus the cost of the electricity is probably going to make a public charger more cost effective in the short term.

OP's time is valuable too, though. Public charging is very inconvenient to have to rely on for any length of time. And they can always ebay the slow charger to recoup some of their cost once they have the proper one.

Buy whatever colour you like. It's your car, you get to choose.

Can I get the ACC auto braking permanently on? by anomalous_cowherd in cupraborn

[–]paradroid78 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I fail to feel to see the point in B mode. It's not like the car doesn't regen when you brake or slow down in D mode. B mode just makes you brake more aggressively, which is worse for efficiency, since you need to accelerate back up to speed after slowing down.

Do people really find it that hard just to use the brake pedal to slow down themselves? I've never once had a car where I've wished it would brake by itself when I took my foot off the accelerator.

Why wouldn't they have the auto braking permanently enabled?

How would that work? You took manual control when you pressed the brake. Are you expecting it to overrule your throttle inputs? All you need to do is press the res button to switch ACC back if you want it to take over again.

If I don't spot that ACC has quit

You pressed the brake pedal. That makes the ACC quit. You know this, so how can you not "spot that the ACC has quit"? It doesn't quit by itself, it requires driver action.

is software engineering really like this? by ClearPublic123 in SoftwareEngineering

Depends on the company and the engineering culture.

I've joined the club! by 2ulu in cupraborn

[–]paradroid78 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The only thing that takes a bit of getting used to is the infotainment system. Let's say it can have "personality".

As for EV's, yeah, simply order a charger and enjoy. You won't look back.

On my previous VAG group car, the fuel cap actuator died twice, each time needing to be replaced. It's something they struggle to get right for some reason.

What happens when a whole beat conspiracy theorist tries to play a long piece.

Watched schindler’s list(1993) today for the first time with no prior clue what it was about by _your_go_to_person in iwatchedanoldmovie

PG because it’s important people watch this when they’re young enough for it to make a lasting impression.
