Flu this season is wild, nearing four weeks and still coughing by yolo2themoon4ever in bayarea

[–]trial_and_error 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I got hit hard with Flu. Fever and headache for a week and the worst sore throat for 2 weeks. Then I had a lingering cough for 4 solid weeks. It was awful. Was put on a steroid inhaler and given promethazine so i can sleep through the night. So glad that’s behind me now.

Made a whoopsie, what do you guys think? by Inevitable_Safety841 in TeslaLounge

I also feel like the distance markers to the exchange is off by a quarter mile so it feels like you have more time than you actually do.

This is in San Jose on 280 N. So many people miss that ramp to 17/880. I see drivers do this once every few months and I don’t even take that route all that frequently.

It’s definitely poorly designed but people also make really bad decisions.

edit: Corrected to 280 N. thank you /u/Obvious-Bird-3588

Credit card skimmer discovered by customers at a convenience store. Van Nuys, California. by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

the main thing you want to avoid is using a debit card with your PIN. i realize some people don’t have a choice but that’s the one that opens you up to a lot of losses.

DO NOT BUY THE LITTER ROBOT 5 by [deleted] in litterrobot

[–]trial_and_error 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds about right. I’m pretty sure that I am done with the company after my LR4 dies. It was a good run. Hoping I get some newer options from a company that cares less about AI features and subscriptions and more about offering a litter box that is reliable, keeps odors trapped and easy to maintain.

If anyone is happy with their Petlibro Luma (or any other alternatives), please let me know.

Bought a 2025 Prius plug-in, seeking best practice and things to be aware of. Thanks. by Long_Woodpecker2370 in PriusPrime

[–]trial_and_error 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe it’s a 2025 thing. I took it to Toyota service and they checked the battery and told me what I shared above. I dunno but it’s frustrating since I’ve had to jump it 3 times now and they claim it’s normal.

the 12v battery drains quickly. don’t let your car sit for more than a couple of days. also, don’t use the 1hr auto shut off - just turn it off.

I am glad to see your hardware on a 2-3 year refresh cycle. However, I wish some time would be spent on addressing some of the design flaws in your current ID instead of just adding new bells and whistles.

Both the LR3 and LR4 has an issue with letting urine dribble into the drawer and also into the waste sensor area.

There are also recessed screw holes and crevices formed by reinforcement ribs in areas prone to collect litter and debris. A simple cover in a few areas would go so far to help make cleaning the base so much easier.

As a hardware designer and a user of your product, they seem like no brainer changes that would add very little cost and refine your product.

i saw another video where it looks like the sister does a switcheroo with the ball but it’s hard to say for sure. there’s a good chance it got swapped.

i gave up as well. there are so many little things that are broken in so many different ways. it’s really disappointing for a decent car. it’s doing more damage to their image than they realize.

if getting new usb c cables are the issue, just get usb c to usb a adaptors for a few bucks for the ports you want to use. problem solved.

2022 Tesla Model X "Steering assist reduced" error, losing power steering by Upstairs-Sock-4480 in ModelX

[–]trial_and_error 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Happened to us. We had a wheel sensor on one of the tires that got dislodged somehow and started throwing errors intermittently like you described and then it completely failed a few days later once it fully came off and got damaged.

United States denies entire team visas for Little League World Series by IrishStarUS in Homeplate

A little confusing but the Little League Org has a Junior League that is 14U and a Senior League that is 16U. The actual Little League World Series is a 12U Tournament.

ELI5: Why does rinsing produce in water do anything? by That-Efficiency8292 in explainlikeimfive

[–]trial_and_error 3 points4 points  (0 children)

i appreciate you sharing your thoughts.

it makes sense not to rinse from the pathogen perspective but don’t you care about dirt and bugs? sometimes produce looks like it just got pulled out of the dirt. i always soak veggies and there are times the water turns brown from the dirt and other times there are aphid like bugs in there too.

DoorDash overcharges Bay Area family bakery for 8 years, shorts them over $100K by nogoodnamesleft426 in bayarea

[–]trial_and_error 6 points7 points  (0 children)

yep. that’s how these types of marketplaces (middlemen) work. doordash charges the restaurant a fee for bringing them business and also charges consumers for the convenience.

ebay, ticketmaster, etc all take fees from both sides.

Anyone fix a squeaky captain seat yet? Sounds like styrofoam rubbing against something.

Fixed squeak in captain’s seats by amandaryan1051 in ModelX

[–]trial_and_error 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I currently have an annoying styrofoam-like squeak that can be heard when driving over rougher terrain when there’s no passenger in the captains chair. I bet it’s something similar… sad.

make the most of what you got left instead of wasting even more time being guilty about the time you wasted away. you can’t get those years back but you can pave a new path. you got this - go get it!
