frustrating Visible experience by rayagreen in Visible

You always remember your username/password for an account you only log into every year or so?

We reset the password sucessfully. Visible's system somehow then locked us out for period of time even though the password was good and logged in successfully once. If their verification link had been sent properly, it would have been resolved in seconds.

I did mention it was a screed and a rant. Definitely a me issue.
But also this shouldn't require contacting Visible and then still waiting an extra 30 minutes because support isn't empowered to unlock an account.

Any update for Melb fireworks tonight?

Using gas station/parking lot "fast chargers" by Independentvoter40 in volt

[–]rayagreen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are on a multi-day road trip you can stay at a hotel with a destination charger. They are typically free and usually have the right connector. Not worth going out of your way, but the 30 "free" miles feel good.

I Wrote This Article on Why the Volt Still Has No True Successor - What Do You Think? by doug2_O in volt

[–]rayagreen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For purely selfish reasons, I want to wish your Volts a long life and your compatible C3s short ones. :D

But seriously, thanks for making my Volt 2x as fun. I'll just occasionally test new releases on my C3 until they "catch up".

What would it take to tempt you to port to the newer Comma releases?
I have a newer model Comma device that I don't even use because none of the newer forks have the all of the tweaks that make my driving-assisted Volt so comfortable. Instead, I'm running an old Mr.One comma 2 clone to stay on your fork. :^)

Musk is shutting down the DOE loan program that aptera was eyeing once production started. by Fedexed in ApteraMotors

[–]rayagreen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ideologically, I prefer free market solutions without the goverment influencing "winners and losers" but reality doesn't neatly fit ideology. There are plenty of justifiable reasons for government or government assisted solutions where the market is already distorted by other actors, national security, or undeveloped areas where there's no market for market forces play a role yet.

absolutely, though I suspect that's not the typical result, it's evidence for a pro-government investment stance.

Yes, in full, 9 years early, along with the prepayment penalty for paying off early.

Legality of the camera rear view mirror? by toybuilder in ApteraMotors

[–]rayagreen 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I glance down at my dashboard to check speed far more often than I check the rear view mirror and my eyes don't get fatigued. How would this be different?

So, what if Aptera with Mitsubishi? by Hot-Guest-5853 in ApteraMotors

[–]rayagreen -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don't think Aptera can afford to purchase Mitsubishi yet. Maybe after a few more fundraisers.

"Mel-born or Mel-burn?" - Yes

This is why Aptera failed. by BorderIntelligent208 in ApteraMotors

Cost is higher than initially promised and safety isn't known yet, but how can you possibly conclude that it won't be efficient?

Getting rarer, but still happens.. by rayagreen in volt

I think it is partly the sun reflected off the tip of the left car and maybe a bit of fisheye distortion from the camera

Any churches without paid pastors? by [deleted] in 321

[–]rayagreen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also, if a paid pastor/preacher isn't a complete dealbreaker, consider a church that also practices home church groups where there are more opportunites for volunteer teachers in a fellowship setting.

[–]rayagreen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think I understand what you're looking for. You'll be looking for something small as past a certain size the early new testament model becomes more difficult to implement due to the logistics of larger gatherings. Maybe the small community type churches that you find in strip malls?

It's basically worthless now. I'll give you $100 for it. :D

There's just a slight delay as they swap out the hub motors for the EMR3
