We were thinking about that, but our yard is a bit complex with shape and existing features and would prefer a professional to help us think of any potential problems we’d run into.

Architect! That sounds more like what I’m wanting. I’ll search around for one, thanks!

The business I contacted had “landscape design and installation” on their website but It makes sense that they would want to do it all themselves. As for what we’re wanting: the lawn is in bad shape, gravel and construction waste throughout. So cleaning that up, and putting in native grass, with some drought resistant native plants. There’s a loose gravel area we’d like to replace with concrete or pavers or something. And there’s a small wood deck on the side we were thinking of expanding but not sure if it would look good. Plus we have a wonderful live oak tree that covers the entire yard with shade, and we’re not sure how to best design around it.

Assuming your smart TV is android, project ivy is my favorite.

Fantastic movie. I went in without knowing anything other than “People said it was good”, and I was blown away.

This post made me try again to find a solution, and maybe a USB extension cord with a on/off switch could work. It’s not automated but would be more convenient than removing the dongle each time. I’m thinking something like this

I have this exact same problem, but with a Chevy bolt. Some cars USB ports are “always on” and some aren’t. Might be worth trying different ones and see if there’s a port that doesn’t power on randomly. This didn’t work on my car, but it’s a common solution I came across when I was trying to figure it out. For now, I’ve just reverted back to wired AA.

They should use Lithium Iron batteries for a real LiFe pro tip

The yacht was a bad example. What I’m getting at is that not hating something is not the same as supporting it. I don’t support Dave doing this, but I don’t hate him for doing it either.

Yeah, I can see how it could be seen that way. I’m thinking more along the lines of “Dave performs for money. Someone wants to pay a lot of money for a special performance, and it doesn’t affect any of his other shows so of course he would do it”. IMO what Dave did isn’t unethical, but I can see how it could be seen that way. But I also think if the article was “Amazon Execs bought a multi million dollar yacht after massive layoffs”, no one would be blaming the yacht manufacturer. Just the execs.

Eh, all he did was accept money to do exactly what he does: play a concert. Now if he canceled other concerts just for this, that would be a different story IMO. The Amazon execs would just buy a yacht or something instead if Dave declined.

Apparently there’s only 10 or so Vaquita’s left now. :( https://www.worldwildlife.org/species/vaquita

Nah, its just a cheap “marble” laminate countertop I use for a desk. Can’t convince myself to get a nice wood one when this holds up and looks decent

“Problem” is probably a stretch lol. It just looked sloppy before IMO

I’m the same, those dongles don’t last, and are annoying to use. I picked up one of these cables from aliexpress to use with my iems and it works a treat. There’s better quality cables out there, but for 10 bucks these are solid.

Thanks for the advice! I agree, the best training would involve us which is one reason why I’m hesitant on board & train. But he’s stagnated for a while on his current training plan, so trying to find new options.

We’re well prepared to actually follow training plans following up. We’ve been consistent with our current one for 2 years. We’re just looking for other options since his progress has stagnated, even though he has progressed a ton (like we can actually go to a park, and he will be happy and relaxed now). Not against negative training, we’re only going off of what our current trainer tells us, which is “Since its fear based aggression, the best way to correct it is to use positive reinforcement so that he learns that people and other dogs are good things”. Thanks for sharing your experience! I think we’ll set up a consultation with this new trainer and see.

Nothing online I’ve found is interesting. But I bought a pack of “Student Driver” magnets, and put it on my car enthusiast friends Porsche. Haven’t heard anything yet, so im hoping its still on. Might throw a new one on whenever I notice its gone.

It’s not a “worse” display. It’s a different display. The only point is that if you want an e-ink phone (either for readability or battery life) this is one of the only options. Assuming it actually launches at least.

I know with the v4 tesla chargers that has the adapter built in, non-teslas couldn’t use them until the manufacturers made an agreement. Maybe it’s the same here? Where you can get an adapter and if your car brand has already made the deal with tesla you’re good to go. Unless Ford put software in their adapter to only work on ford’s.
