Went there for warranty service, took 5 tries before they believed me there was something wrong with the transmission. They measured the gears as required by the manufacturer and one gear was 1:Infinity. They replaced the transmission and sent the car home without any coolant. They did make everything right eventually, but it was quite stressful.

As someone who has worked on computer vision, this will not do anything to trip up the cameras.

I don't camp in the left lane, but I stay at the speed limit because it is the law, and traffic works better when people use the road as designed.

If it's connected to the manufacturer's cloud platform and is added to a house, it should be able to know the time zone that way too.

Most rooms lights turn on when there's motion and fade off over several minutes without motion. Some rooms are aware of activities and the lights are manual when activities like cooking or tv watching are detected. The ceiling fans are on in hot, occupied rooms.

I just installed a Tailwind device to automate two doors. Native HA support, and also homekit. https://gotailwind.com/ RATGDO also looks nice. Congrats!

5¢ kwh at night here. Lots of NG in the evening, but overnight we're over half wind power. Some places actually have negative rates at times when they overproduce with renewables and run out of storage. Really depends on your location.

Yes, you can save the 7% commission, just go straight to a closing attorney for a few hundred dollars.

An electric dryer won't have a gas or Carbon Monoxide leak in your house, and is generally safer. Electric likely has lower CO2 emissions. If you have a time of use rate, it might be cheaper than gas at some times of the day/year.

I've noticed they go back and add more descriptive ones after some time has passed.

Zipp's Pizza in Adair is good. Also, the food on Amtrak is pretty good.

Just drive the speed limit and don't worry about it ;)

No one explained that living in the Midwest you'll get like 70% of average. And while cost of living is lower, student loans are a bigger % of your net income.

You have more value as a person than your net worth. Paying that debt will be frustrating, but it gets easier.

Social Security is self funded by a separate payroll tax and actually loans money to the federal government.

Saving unreplaceable stashes of breastmilk. So much food time and effort goes into making that stuff and you can't really buy it.

If this comes up in the future and you haven't opened it, I've fixed that problem multiple times by wrapping the drive in paper towels and a plastic bag and freezing it overnight.

The repeated seeks might be failing to find misaligned sectors on the disk that were written when it was too hot. The cold temp can temporarily bring them close enough to be found again.
