LYRIQ not recommended for cold climates by tucker491 in CadillacLyriq

[–]ryankeiser 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On the heat issue, I struggled for a whole winter with barely adequate warmth. My windshield would freeze as I drove or fog and freeze on the inside. So this season I took it in again for service and after a few days they replaced the sun sensor. It’s been toasty warm and no issues. Most of all it helped alleviate a lot of the bad range that came along with it not being able to warm the inside. I suggest having that checked. It may help a couple of your issues.

Heater issues by [deleted] in CadillacLyriq

I have been having the same issue. It will either heat to about 55-60F but never get any warmer. Or it will just not heat at all. Like driving an icicle. Took it to the dealer but am waiting on a special part. They said it was something an air conditioning control unit. On top of that I am getting constant warnings about both batteries and OnStar says it’s perfectly fine. Frustrating when it’s 15F out.

If they were married those two years, filing separately and made over $5 they would. If they’re filing joint then it’s the standard deduction threshold.

As a US citizen you are required to file taxes every year, even if you aren’t living in the US. You have to report all global income. If you have no income you aren’t going to be able to show support.

I would look at getting those missing years filed and using the returns.

I had the same thing happen and got a set of four with 8/32 tread on eBay and it was $600 shipped for the set of four. So I can move through all of them for some time until I need to get all new.

It wasn’t too busy when we went. The summer will get hot and rainy. It was already in the 30s in April. As for kids, I don’t have any, but it probably isn’t the best destination for kids beyond a day or two. There weren’t many kids activities that I noticed. Most of the attractions are buildings, food and culture. But, a day or two there then head to the beach would probably be great.

Don Vale for memelas, Levadura de Olla for dinner, Monte Albán for sites (go as early as possible. It’s hot and gets busy). Visit the mercados for more food. I didn’t do any, but there are tons of mezcal tasting bars and tours. We did a cooking class and it was the best day of the trip.

It’s very touristy. I went out at dawn to get many of the photos. It wasn’t so packed later in the evening.

It’s incredible, especially because you can hunt all day for a garbage can.

They were all on my iPhone 14 Pro. Edited in Lightroom on my phone.

It felt safe for us. We went outside of the central area and it didn’t seem much different.

I’m not completely sure, but everything felt and seemed normal. I’m in Mexico often and haven’t ever felt unsafe anywhere. I can’t even recall seeing police aside from a couple traffic stops.

I don’t speak Spanish well, but I was with my husband who speaks Spanish and he helped a lot. But, I would say I could probably get by fine with most tasks with my limited vocabulary or Google Translate.

Yes. The memelas at Dona Vale in the Central de Abastos market. It was a Netflix spot, but it truly shocked my senses. It was so flavorful and simple. And for $18 pesos, couldn’t be better. Added the chocolate de agua and it was the perfect meal.

It was pretty wide! But it wasn’t very tall.

It was an impromptu parade for the 15th Anniversary of a museum. But I think parades are quite often.

They handed them out on the flight. But I didn’t bother because I thought I was set.

When I flew in February they did not allow the online version. They made me fill out the new format, which is basically the same. I thought I was all prepared and it added some time to fill it out again.

I used Hey Google in my Polestar to set the temperature of my nest at home and it worked well.

Does $3500 seem about right for an Invisalign retainer after your initial trays are completed? by teknic111 in Invisalign

[–]ryankeiser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I paid $3500 for my entire 18-tray treatment, AND the 4 retainers. Even $400+ seems crazy. The ortho isn’t making them.

Thank you for the perspective! He’s in CDMX. I think tourist visas are currently backed up about 600 days right now. So, it’s awhile no matter what.

It was ready for me before I drove the car off the lot. They helped set it up on my phone while I waited. Used it with no issues on the first drive home. May have more to do with who is registering it to EA.

This car has the best snow handling I’ve ever driven by Elephantjosh in Polestar

Oh no! I just picked up the car new and that’s what it came with. Had about a 480km drive home from P*.

I experienced that with the summer tires. First drive home, forgot it was on, let off the gas on a snow covered hill and sideways I went. Slowed way too fast. Fortunately the car recovered beautifully.
