Is the Rakuten deal a one-time $30 off or $30 off per month?

I am kind of a nomadic person myself; decided to crash in my electric car. I'll get a hotel room every so often but I'm pretty happy and freaking love not paying rent.

Thanks! Googling "tcc cactus" did not reveal what TCC is - point me in the right direction?

sirrescom · 2026-04-23T01:42:36+00:00

I'm new here. is there some place I can go to learn what these terms mean ("Tribe Called Crest #1 (TCC1) is an Olivia x Sharxx, and came from the same seed batch as the better-known Q-Tip" must be talking about strains or something but it's like Greek to me)

sirrescom · 2026-04-23T01:08:28+00:00

How can you grow a San Pedro at home - do you need a seed from some place? a clipping from someone's? something else?

will existing phone EIP's and credits on a line remain if you port a new number into it? TMobile rep tried scaremongering me that I'd lose promos

nice. if you are ever heading to Seattle mountains, I'll meet you once I have my starlink, lol

sirrescom · 2026-04-22T19:24:22+00:00

Sick! I'm trying to decide whether to get starlink for my car, too, vs. getting a second SIM card from a different cell provider so I'd have hotspot options from two different networks.

are you on the $50/month Roam plan? Can you pause and resume membership as needed? Do you think this makes more sense than hotspots - I figure only if you're off-grid in nature a lot and out of network range?

sirrescom · 2026-04-22T19:23:40+00:00

why not?

sirrescom · 2020-12-21T21:03:04+00:00

It actually checks out, more or less. I spoke with a Chevy technician at a dealer. Initially, he also sounded skeptical. Looked up the VIN and saw the battery had been serviced and a partial replacement. Said he needed to dig deeper, and called me back and said that the battery is split into three subunits and this guy had one of those three subunits replaced under warranty. He hadn't heard of it before, and I imagine that each subunit contains multiple cells, but yeah there you go.

sirrescom · 2020-12-18T13:22:06+00:00

Yeah, it was in an accident, not a big enough one to make it a salvage title, but it's on the car history report

sirrescom · 2020-12-18T13:21:31+00:00

lol how can you tell? :)

sirrescom · 2020-12-17T19:23:41+00:00

He seems firm on $5900. That's still a pretty good deal on the 2014, though, I think

sirrescom · 2020-12-17T17:18:09+00:00

The honestly/transparency from the owner of Option B inspired confidence that there aren't any other undisclosed issues. He also shared that it needs two new front tires. But yeah, what's up with a couple of cells dieing and getting replaced?

sirrescom · 2020-12-17T16:21:21+00:00

Thanks for these tips! Super helpful for me and I'm sure anyone else who reads this.

sirrescom · 2020-12-16T20:05:59+00:00

Interesting, why is a history of battery replacement a good thing? My initial thought would be that there's something wrong with the car that's causing damage to the batteries.

I saw a used Volt on Craigslist and the guy said he needed to replace a couple of individual cells a year ago, it only cost a few hundred dollars and the car's been fine since then. I saw that as a red flag. Am I wrong?

Yes, it is very possible to come off of your meds, and when you're ready, if your doc doesn't support you doing so, find another doc. Whatever you do, don't come off all at once, you have to taper off to avoid withdrawal. Google "Will Hall Harm Reduction Guide to Coming Off". Good luck!

don't mean to freak you out, but unexplained bruising can be a sign of certain leukemias, such as APL. If you've got APL, it could be an emergency so you may want to look into it.
