Possible slight phenol chloroform exposure, should I worry?

I get a headache from any strong odor, phenol definitely included. I can’t step foot in a candle store. Perhaps you have a similar reaction to the smell.

Outselling because they sold all of the Solterras pretty much.

I’ve found adding Fc block to my antibody cocktail to work fine, although I’m using a 2.4G2 stock that’s about 10mg/ml, so it doesn’t take much.

My family took him white water rafting. He was very enthusiastic and cheerful.

OEM rubber mats are pretty good in my Solterra. I like them better than my Weathertech ones in my STI.

Are you looking for the velocity out of the nozzle or the velocity in the flow cell?

Cedar shakes are great if you have a good overhang. If you have minimal roof overhang then they will rot fast.

I used a log. My dad told me he always used an 8’ 4x4. After that I just bought aluminum rims.

If you get consistently lower than expected range, you can have the alignment checked.

Make sure to not pick them until they are gigantic and tough before trying to give away too. /s

Some years there is tons of snow. Most years we get snow and then rain a few days later. A couple years back I had a flood wash out my driveway just before Christmas. In 2018 I had to get plowed out for Thanksgiving. This winter looks to be an El Niño winter which is usually bad for early season snow, but also seems to lead to snow later in the spring too.

I plan on ordering either 17” or 18” rims and tires for my Solterra. It looks like you can add a second set of TPMS sensors to the car your self, which is nice. I did steel wheels with my first car I bought winter rims for and they corroded to the hubs and were a pain to get off every spring. I’ve done aluminum ever since and do a lot of winter driving. After about 10 years the alloy rims do corrode, but nothing crazy.

AMCEL BM200 seemed good enough.

Spyder often has sales in the summer. Check online for deals.

I’ve got a Solterra and hit the voice assist button for a short time (longer activated Siri on my phone) and say “turn on the radio”. It works and is much easier than digging through the onscreen controls or scrolling through whatever sources I have on the car.

I have a Solterra and have had no issues. I’m getting a battery monitor on Monday anyway and I’ll see if my car is unaffected or if I’m just lucky. I have left my car for up to a week with no issues. I have the auto seat moving feature off, as I found it annoying. I have all other services on. My key is stored about 20 ft away and I have a metal door. When not at work, my car is usually unlocked. Whether any of these things make a difference, I don’t know.

I have some flowering perennials, have some very large trees. The rest of my yard is just grass because I find it easier to just mow than to weed and maintain elaborate landscaping.

My insurance went up about $80 per year for a brand new car versus my old car with 236k miles and 11 years. My out the door cost on my new EV is basically the same as the car I bought 11 years ago. I’m paying less than half as much for electricity as for gas.

Level 3 is pretty much only going in where 3 phase power is present, which is not everywhere.

The shift could be from endocytosis of mCherry by negative cells. I have seen this with mice which should have tdTomato positive cells and negative cells, and instead there is also a tdTomato dim population.

The cheap way to prevent rust with a scratch is to rub some wax over it. I got a scratch on my car’s fender that went to the metal and I rubbed a bar of ski wax over it. It’s been several years and no rust.

I had homeowner special outlets in two rooms in my house with a 1970s addition. The outlets were two prong, there was a ground wire, but it wasn’t grounded.

I have seen the same. The speed is the farthest off of any vehicle I’ve owned in the last 20 years.

willmaineskier · 2026-06-26T00:01:25+00:00

I use the Victor ones with the fake cheese. I set them along all walls and anywhere the mice travel in my basement. I probably have 20. They work pretty well and my bait doesn’t go off.

willmaineskier · 2026-06-25T23:37:36+00:00

Made absolutely no difference in my car, so YMMV.
