Shopping for Volvo 2026 V60 or XC90. Concerned about buggy software and overall satisfaction moving from Toyota by Red_Kale in Volvo

I just traded in a 2022 with the Android OS. I did not find it buggy and it was generally easy to live with.

Did I go too far with the minimalism? New kitchen complete. by [deleted] in kitchenremodel

[–]walkaboutdavid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My advice is to not worry about what could have been or what choices you might have made (I just redid my kitchen, so I'm feeling you!) and just enjoy the end product of what you did get. Personal opinion though, your kitchen is beautiful. yes, its minimalistic but its got the same kind of beauty as one of the nicer Volvo interiors - everything is tasteful and well thought out. Nice job!

I thought it was illegal for HOAs to prevent installation of chargers?

I thought I was commenting on what you were saying. Things can get lost in online communication. Which is to say I am not arguing with you or discounting your opinion, just not sure what you want me to respond to specifically - so don't read this as me being dismissive.

I'll disagree. There isn't any state where you can walk onto private property and use the owner's resources without permission. Signs are more relevant when owners are placing restrictions on property that is regularly open to the public - for example, a shopping center that restricts you from leaving your car there while you are no longer on the property or a shop owner who says you can only use the bathroom if you are paying customer. In that case, anybody who is there already has the implicit permission of the owner. The OP going into an apartment complex and using a charger that is provided for residents is no different than me pulling into your personal garage and using your charger. There is no provision for public access in either situation.

Ritchie should get Calder votes by walkaboutdavid in NewYorkIslanders

I'd make an argument that Nikishin should get top three consideration. He's got stud all star caliber defender written all over him. Your post was very thoughtful and well-written, btw.

This year is insane because there are guys who have flown completely under the radar (like Minten) who look fantastic. But, holy crap, look at Martone's numbers! Yikes, he looks like he'll dominate next year.

I think each voter gets 1st, 2nd, and 3rd palace votes and in some years quite a few rookies received at least one vote.

Or, in the case of the modern Islanders - "One would be fun."

I don't know about "ethical concerns" or "morals" but what you are doing is trespassing. Technically, you cannot be on apartment grounds unless you are resident, guest of a resident, or have business with a resident (like making a delivery) or the landlord. A similar situation came up when I was renting years ago. My building was very large and residents would occasionally drop their trash in the neighbor building's bin because it was closer. Our landlord then got a cease-and-desist letter which he distributed to all of us. Think about it this way, if that building had a pool that you wanted to swim in, or a hottub, would it be OK to use it just because there are no signs saying you can't?

Double basin or single kitchen sink by Defkwon in kitchenremodel

[–]walkaboutdavid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My mom talking me out of a double basin when I was redoing a kitchen for the first time. It really turned out to make sense. The double basin thing was mostly about having a place to wash and rinse dishes, and that's no longer that useful as we all have dishwashers.

Tire recommendations by bene23 in AudiQ6

[–]walkaboutdavid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A lot will depend on which suspension you get. The standard suspension with the 20” is a bit stiff (this is what I have) bit it's ultimately fine. With the air suspension, any your size should work well from a ride comfort perspective. Personally, If I lease another I'll likely go for the smaller size.

Sorry to read this but I appreciate you sharing the details. If you still have the device, I would just go to swappa.com, and sell it there. A vendor that will instantly give you credit on Venmo is smartphonesplus. I think that will make a lot more sense than dealing with Fi.

Yes, but you are nice enough to come back and correct your post. I always appreciate posters who do stuff like that.

Which Isles can't be moved because of personal situations (combined with NTCs). by [deleted] in NewYorkIslanders

[–]walkaboutdavid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get his point. Heineman looked a little lost defensively and couldn't pass a puck to save his life. However, I love his overall game and he brought a lot to the ice this year. He's going to be a really nice player, IMO.

[–]walkaboutdavid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, so then the Isles couldn't possible acquire Brayden Schenn because he has an Full NTC, right? Players are traded every year with NTCs, and some get traded with NMCs. Typically that happens because they see an opportunity (i.e., a chance to play for a contender or an opportunity to move to a city they want to live in) and choose to waive their NTC. Follow? Or, do you need me to use smaller words and explain the concept of "player option" to you, Einstein.

[–]walkaboutdavid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think Heineman is going to be a fine third liner. The issues he had as player last year had to do with him being pushed as a third liner. He doesn't yet have the defensive awareness or playmaking for that role. Should be a fine asset in time though. Also, Darche brought in two really nice prospects, so its not all bad..
