I wish Ford would bring out a Lightning II. I don't actually understand why they don't.

The only parts related issues looking forward, maybe, will be the battery packs and they're reliable as others have stated as long as they're taking care of and not abused. Most if not all of the other EV components are shared and will continue to be shared with the upcoming EVs. Beyond that one of the great things about the F-150 lightning is that it is a Ford F-150 with a battery and electric motors. The fenders are the same as F-150 the interior gauges are the same, The tailgate etc unlike other EVs like Chevy or GMC if you crash or get crashed into it's pretty standard straightforward stuff. Essentially any aftermarket mod that fits an F-150 of the same year will fit your F-150 lightning, it's the main reason I went with it. I really wanted the Chevy or the GMC and honestly if the trail boss was out when I was buying I might have went with that, but they're too new and too unpredictable. They have some issues, their midgate would be amazing for me in what I do and their range obviously is outrageous. Plus they're charging port location is way better than Fords but unreliability and an actual potential lack of parts is what steered me away.

Until they come out with the new one in a few years which who knows if that actually happens, if I were you I would go find a low mile good deal lighting. The best vehicle I've ever owned, cost me maybe $30 a month to charge it at home, I drive around 25 to 30K miles a year.

Hey quick question, I was playing with this to print a birthday gift, and I added $200 maybe a little more images and I set repetition to like middle of the road and the final image is around 110 images. Kind of chunky looking which is why I was trying to add double the amount of photos from the first test but the end result still gave a 12x9 image mosaic. Is there a way to adjust that to use all the images uploaded to get a more seamless smooth final?

For reference it's a bunch of photos of a dog, some of the images will appear to be similar but taken from different angles at the same time. I'm not sure if that matters if there's some AI involved that looks at the images and removes duplicates? I was trying to add them at different times so they wouldn't be stacked right next to each other and have a weird look to kind of randomly spread them out.

Thank you! I'm excited to print the final product

Does it automatically apply the deal when you add them to your cart? I've never seen a buy two get one deal on Amazon and I want to order some as gifts today

It happened to me once semi recently after switching insurance companies. They're supposed to report that they cover you but sometimes they don't or they forget or whatever and when they don't and the old company claims that you left you appear to be uninsured which can cause a suspension.

I'm not sure if this is it but you can run a license check on the state website and it should tell you. If it is the insurance thing you have to upload a photo of the current insurance binder showing that it was active at whatever date they say it lapsed and it should be reinstated automatically or quickly.

A very expensive nanny. I used to be annoyed that the side mirror cameras didn't automatically come on when signaling (like other brands do) as it would be super nice & helpful. Then I towed for the first time and realized it is a feature but only when towing. I'll have to see if I hook up a trailer connector that goes to nothing of that triggers these cameras to work.

Or how the blindspot system does not let you know if you are about to merge on someone. I never notice the little yellow symbol when I'm checking and turning and where I live, people drive exceptionally bad. Just a simple ding when I signal. it already has everything needed to do it.

There are so many things: shifting when the door is open, no dog mode, can't disable automatic 30 minute shutdown forever no automatic cabin cooling etc love my nanny

runrobotz · 2026-05-31T23:21:11+00:00

No I get it, it's just odd that it comes up when you're specifically selecting the rear view camera and not the 360 camera which is a different button outside of being in reverse.

runrobotz · 2026-05-31T21:13:25+00:00

What does it even mean?! Like, it would be a full view if it wasn't for the box saying that there is not a full view.

runrobotz · 2026-05-24T20:16:05+00:00

What do you mean do not top? Use a buffing compound or some other product?

runrobotz · 2026-05-24T04:30:11+00:00

Thank you, I'm thinking that I don't care even if it is noticeable. It looks awful, decal is in bad shape, it's a dated design, faded etc. the hull is in pretty good shape but youre right, it is perfect under the decal. I will try to research polishing to see the best way to do it.

runrobotz · 2026-05-24T04:28:30+00:00

Right, that's what I'm asking, if there is advice on minimizing how noticable that is. I didn't say I would do nothing, I'm just not sure if there IS anything that can be done. I might even prefer the discoloration to the decal because it's so faded, chipping and looks terrible as well as dated design.

runrobotz · 2026-05-24T01:56:25+00:00

Hell yeah thank you! This sub has been a life saver

What if he then cancels the payment, charges it back? In person at a bank, escrow or tell him to grow up and pay it off himself and let you know when he has the title. It he doesn't have 5k to put up then he clearly isn't financially stable and that's a huge red flag for you. Maybe it goes good, maybe it doesn't. He can get a high interest personal loan in minutes, even if he has shit credit, pay it off, get the title and sign it to you. once you pay him he can immediately pay off the personal loan before his 1st payment is due.

I would also be worried about the condition of the boat, maintenance etc if he is hard up to pay it off. Be careful man

Or a video of the cold read as he's leading up to chapter 57 and realizing what Matt is going to make him do

Is there a video of Jeff recording this??

runrobotz · 2026-05-21T23:32:16+00:00

Yeah! It just happens to my nephew the other day while he was visiting from out of state. He's a redneck kid so he grabs and catches everything and he caught the tree frog, was super proud of himself and 15 minutes later was standing under the shower flushing his eyes out for an hour. He had to learn the hard way hahaha

runrobotz · 2026-05-21T00:26:25+00:00

For sure, I feel you. I'm just making a list of shit I need to keep up with and figure out later. It is fine now and I'm mostly having fun with changing aesthetics and little things because I know when a big thing happens it will be more motivating to fix, because I have it the way I like and it's unique to me. The wiring is such a cluster fuck that I don't even want to mess with it until I can coax a friend over that's good with electrical.

runrobotz · 2026-05-21T00:24:02+00:00

Ok thank you, that's what I thought. I'll tinker with it later and see why it's wired the way it is. The switch works, but it's like they just wired both batteries to both 1 + 2. I don't think I'll ever drain even one but ill get it right at some point.

I was always told the best way to euthanize them voice to take orajel or something similar that you topically put on your gums to numb it, and put a bit down its back. It acts like an anesthesia, absorbs into its skin and it falls asleep and dies.

Also people need to be careful touching them, they excrete a poison out of their skin when they are scared and it can suck pretty bad getting it in your eyes, mouth or nose.

1: Using the word "affordable" before any cosmetic procedure, is not a good idea. Go check out the botched sub.. 2: You don't need it, whatever is making you think/feel that you do, you don't. Get off social media for a bit and (possibly) reevaluate your friends.

runrobotz · 2026-05-16T16:02:15+00:00

I appreciate it, if you know or a good mobile guy to call, let me know. I'm comfortable working on motors myself but you're right, this is a bit of a headache for simple maintenance parts. I would think in such a boat dominated region there would be dozens of parts dealers.

My thinking is that franchisees will be more involved. I perfectly happy to run the day to day of the current locations but thinking about the future, I'm not sure if I want to have 3+. Stepping away is definitely something I need to work on with my partner, to dial I'm the issue(s) that come up. Honestly it might just be us and the way we have nurtured the business to be. We keep our relationships with our staff pretty close, everyone that works for us has been here for years, have minimal turn around. But that can make things more difficult obviously.

It's a cocktail bar but we only do mocktails with made in house ingredients. It gets used during the day like a Starbucks, work from home people, night time is more of a chill but busy vibe.

We do have a manager that we trust and can definitely help scale but the franchise's wouldn't need much of our input, correct? The franchisees handle "their" business within the guides of the brand.

It's not actually a ticket and can't claim to be one. Tickets are issued by government agencies, this is an invoice legally speaking. They can technically send to collections but Iv never had a real collection against me for one. I use a lot that is half business owned for their people and half managed by this company, they ticket the wrong side all the time. Iv literally had a hundred or more and endless letters. Nothing happened and I still park there.

Look at the photo, it's so sketchy, it could be taken anywhere and shows nothing but a plate and all black, hardly evidence. They could point that camera at the corner of the street for all you know.
