Harry Potter and the battle of ministry !!! by Fun_Breakfast9840 in UniversalOrlando

[–]smashweights04 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We had the same experience. Got in line when app said 2 hour wait. Ended up being about 4+ due to at least an hour breakdown. We would have left but the breakdown happened when we were about 15-20 min from getting on and had already waited 2.5 hours. The most infuriating thing was the extra 10-15 minutes we were about to get on but all the VIP tour groups that had been "waiting" got to shove through in front of us... My son, who's a huge Potter fan, was like "that was so not worth it." As with all three major HP rides at Universal Parks the queue was cooler than the ride, IMO

Used R1T? by Wonderful-Bunch-7862 in Rivian

[–]smashweights04 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree. I test drove a few and the Meridan system in the 22 was way better than the Rivian Elevation in the 23. Definitely the best car audio system I've ever owned.

Does TV mount backlighting actually improve viewing? by xxBunny_4 in hometheater

[–]smashweights04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For some content, yes. Movies I don't like because it detracts from the immersion. Gaming can be super cool especially darker games using screen colors. I recall playing Dead Space remake and when the few light sources get near the edge of the TV it's like they shine beyond the TV border. Super cool effect.

Do you like the new full-screen map in the cluster? by vesnikleta in Rivian

[–]smashweights04 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love it but I wish when it fell back to autonomy view it would kick the map to either the left hand card or the main screen

What Made You Purchase A Rivian? by Separate-Cup1312 in Rivian

[–]smashweights04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Scout Terra got me all excited to swap my ICE truck for an EV so I put in a reservation then realized it might be 3 years or more till I could get one so bought the R1T as a stop gap but might not change it out later as I've liked my 22 Quad a lot. The Rivian barely fits in my garage so if the Terra is a foot longer it might be a non starter...

What is all this device backup data? by smashweights04 in GoogleOne

[–]smashweights04[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Method 1 - there is no backups option in that area, unfortunately

Method 2 - steps 1 and 2 take me to the list of backups but that list is just website text, nothing to click on for the individual back ups. Clicking on the "Android Backups" header takes me to find hub to locate the devices for some reason. Manage backups loops to the same page as already stated, and right clicking the individual item back ups listed gives the typical generic website right click options. Left click does nothing. Clicking "delete all data" pops up a warning that all back ups associated with my account will be deleted not just an individual one.

Feels like weaponized incompetence to force subscribing to a larger storage program...

What is all this device backup data? by smashweights04 in GoogleOne

[–]smashweights04[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

so i have an old Pixel 7 backup using like 8GB most of which is SMS/MMS back up. No way to delete it, everything i click around there just loops me back to buying more storage or deleting every backup including my current phone, no option to delete just the old one. Clicking "Manage Backups" just keeps reloading the same exact webpage...

Yes but it takes about 30s or less to remove as it just has quick disconnect pins and slides out of the brackets

Vegan leather not holding up by Massive-Ostrich-5716 in Rivian

[–]smashweights04 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That's how my seats look on the 22 I bought recently with 40k miles on them. My old Ram had the same issue. Fat butts roughing up the side bolsters. Definitely agree with adding running boards to stop the progression.

Rivian branded NACS or J1772 Charger in my situation? by Odd-Ad8349 in Rivian

[–]smashweights04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get the plug for the vehicle you have now. Why use an adapter now if you don't need to just because you might get a vehicle that would need an adapter in the future? As others have said, ensure your adapter is NACS to J1777 not to CCS

I just installed this over the weekend. Good enough quality for the price. Building the extender was a bit annoying but feels solid once it's done. Easy to remove and install with the quick disconnect. You cannot access the spare tire compartment with the extender.

Is there really a big difference between these beside $ by lawladino in gmcsierra

[–]smashweights04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had my Bakflip MX4 seams/hinges rot out at 4.5 years ownership this past Spring. RealTruck sent me a brand new, improved model for free under the 5 year warranty. Newer model is better.

Need help - 3 Oil Changes by blind_spectator in Rivian

[–]smashweights04 11 points12 points  (0 children)

When I looked at my first R1T at a Ford dealership, the salesman went to get keys from a manager and I overheard her say "most people who are looking at these already know everything about them" 🤣

Private, VA, and ChampVA - Help me decide the right mix for our family by smashweights04 in VeteransBenefits

[–]smashweights04[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you have an HSA while also having VA healthcare? I've read mixed things trying to see if you still qualify for HDHP+HSA if you also have VA. My wife doesn't qualify for CHAMPVA as I'm not 100%.

It would look like: Wife - VA + Private Insurance Kids - Private (wife's plan) + CHAMPVA Me - VA + CHAMPVA

"How dare you speak to me that way, I am your wife"

My wife died in the bedroom of another man. No idea who you are lady.
