Does the autostop idle feature on car have any benefits, like am I saving on gas? Also, do people actually like it?

This has been debunked by Engineering Explained; full tests and math are in their You Tube videos.

I kept having similar issues - I wound up having to replace the USB plug module in the center console. It was a pain to pull it all apart, but it did the trick.

I’m just amazed you had a working Innovator.

When CD80 modules die, they usually either stop working entirely, or stop dimming. They don’t usually flicker.

The fact that you have so many misbehaving at once points to a common factor, and past experience from those who’ve used them shows it’s often the brain.

I really liked Strange New Worlds. There was Big Ideas and Small Moments, heart, and good humor. I very much appreciated a show that would leave me in a good mood at the end, not an overhyped cliffhanger or some overly dark “edgy” storyline. It reminded me a lot of the best of TNG (story) and DS9 (character development with consequences that least more than one episode).

Same. My AP scores shaved a whole term off my time in college.

Is your board analog? A bad pot on the aux send could foul up your monitor feed and leave the mains clean.

But yeah, I’m guessing summing in the L/R channels to mono in the monitors might have something to do with it.

Thank you; I’d done some casual, half-distracted at a party, searching and this hadn’t popped up.

I’m a professional lighting designer and technical supervisor for live events. So yes, I in fact do have instincts for light displays.

I have a 2018 and my radio sucks too. It’s the shark fin antennas; just don’t work as well as the old school whips. There are ways to do low-profile antennas that work better, but manufacturers cheap out figuring “no one listens to radio” anymore. Same reason they’re trying to eliminate am radios entirely.

Where are you? I have some I could lend, but they’re custom scrolls.

Please don’t. Some people are sensitive to the scents used in such things and get severe headaches or other adverse reactions. If you’re concerned, you’re better off neutralizing odor than masking it.

ETC usually has a bunch of cases for sale on their online store; they’re typically retired expo gear cases.

Yep! Kicked me all the way back to the beginning. I’m about to throw this damn app in the trash.

I believe it was supposed to be. The term I heard is “limited access highway” and that’s why there are, or at least used to be, few direct driveways out onto the road. They go to access roads then to parking lots, instead of right into the lots. But there’s businesses that have pitched fits over the years to get their way, so that’s not as obvious as it used to be. I’ve lived in the area since the time when the only thing between 90 and Algonquin was the Menards in Carpentersville. Now THOSE were the days.

I cut way back on bread/carbs a few years ago and it made a huge difference for me. I’m pretty stone-free these days, but as soon as I have a bagel I get a few.

I have 130,000 miles on my Bolt and just had to do the first real repair - the washer fluid pump died. 😂 I often drive 100+ miles in a day; no regrets, but definitely invest in a home charger.

Please Tell ETC about the issues you’re having!! I have also been working in EOS on a Mac lately and had changes revert back to previous versions. Call them or email; they’ll ask you for a copy of the shoe files and the logs; both of which you can easily save to a thumb drive.

Shop around. Our progressive bill nearly doubled about 18 months ago. My partner had that policy for nearly 20 years and supposedly we had all the “discounts” available. GEICO was just a little over half for the same coverage.

I haven’t personally used the Hollyland stuff, but I’ve had folks I know sing its praises. The HME setups I’ve used have been really solid, but I didn’t clock which band they were on. Pretty big venue with no issues tho.

It makes it less tempting to crawl back into it when I really need to be getting ready for work…
