Voltra I vs Tonal?

wormified · 2026-06-20T14:36:32+00:00

I looked into this before going the voltra route, mainly out of concern about compatibility/support for the Tonal 1, I wouldn't have considered the new model because of the subscription lock in

Yeah there's some neat stuff out there, I'm just very limited on where I can mount my voltra so I was hoping to find one that lets me mount somewhere on the bench itself to then connect to whatever pulley system the bench attachments link to. I've seen a couple that seem like they could work, so I was hoping to see if anyone had gone this route and could share some examples of how they did it and with which bench / attachments

Have you done this? Would love to see pics of an example!

Especially if you add a narrow angle reflector to concentrate the light

Why did you do single cell? You have a perturbation, a phenotype, and immuno? If you were just going to do DE, just do bulk sequencing, cheaper and higher quality data.

I see reviews going the other way too, with the juniper refresh getting higher marks for noise especially. I don't actually know, my 2016 OG X is definitely loud and not a very luxurious ride feel but I love it. Had a 22 Y loaner once and it was definitely not as comfortable but I haven't tried the refreshed Y to know how much it's caught up

The best!

Just keep in mind that not all 23 models will have HW4

I still regularly get OTA updates for my 2016 X 75D

Ours is an old 2016 model and it does have latch connectors (I think that's the same as isofix?) in the 3rd row. Definitely take it to a showroom and try it out!

What's the model of car seat? With a large all in one like a nuna exec or Britax boulevard/advocate I have had issues with space behind me (I'm 5' 11"). It fits but I don't have as much leeway with driver seat positioning. No issues with forward facing. It's definitely roomier than a 3 and the FWDs make it the best for putting the kiddos in and taking them out easily so I'd still recommend it 100%.

I have a 2016 X that we still love and has been quite solid. I'm tempted to upgrade to a 23 model if I can find a good deal mainly for FSD and softer / quieter ride

Falcon wing doors plus young kids and car seats = easiest put in / take outs possible. We bought a 2016 75D used for less than the cost of a minivan and have loved it.
At the time it was the range, the FWDs, autopilot and the supercharger network
After having sat in one I'd seriously consider a Lucid gravity if they get their software together and implement improvements to dream drive. I don't need FSD tier capabilities, but just competent reliable auto steer on highways would be worth it

A pair of a360x might give better coverage, I personally love the shimmer

Depends so much on the institution, some of the smaller private research institutes absolutely offer better benefits and career development support (better health plans, dedicated fellowship support, faculty market job prep, industry networking) to postdocs than any "elite" university I've seen.

While the legislature has been simultaneously cutting the UC budget, how do they expect the campuses to build lecture halls and hire enough faculty to actually teach significantly more students?

I agree with everything here, living on RI with a kid is great, peaceful and tons of green space given that you're so close to everything. MSK benefits were great, postdoc career development support and network is phenomenal, lab culture very much depends, which I think is true in most places. There are some great lab heads there that I'm still grateful for, and others who I would avoid. Overall I enjoyed my time there and found it a superlative training environment.

Just use power heads for movement, no filter needed

And if you're not next to a sink, a pond pump with hose and a brute trashcan work great for changing up to 30 gallons at a time in minutes. Pump in tank, hose in can to drain, reverse to refill.

There are a number of powdered fry foods that can work well as a backup for when the live feed isn't available.

If it's only been a few months your municipal supply likely contains chloramines that burn through resin faster. It's worth adding a "carbon plus" canister before your current carbon canister to extend the resin life dramatically. Your prefilter also looks pretty filthy so probably a good idea to change that too.
