    Property Insurance

    I don’t think the insurance companies are exactly printing money right now. Some are actually becoming insolvent or have their carrier ratings downgraded which will soon serve the same effect because no one with a mortgage on their house can use them if their rating is too low

    Fertilizing my lawn for initial spring application

    They completely ruined my lawn with really poor grass seed. Has taken me years to recover from it. Would not use.

    When do you think you will buy a 100% pure electric vehicle?

    Model 3. We do have xcel. Have not switched to their plan for EV but think we’re like 8 or 9 cents per KWH over night so very cheap. By my calculations we’ve spent less than 100 in four months charging it (that’s mostly at home with some free supercharging a few times which we got for first 6...

    When do you think you will buy a 100% pure electric vehicle?

    We only drive it about 25 miles a day. So if we plug in at night it’s topped off again by morning. If we run it down we hit the Tesla super charger at nearby Target while we’re buying groceries.

    When do you think you will buy a 100% pure electric vehicle?

    I am having same experience. I thought for sure we were going to need to install the home wall charger. After 5 months of driving, we’re realizing the simple home adapter (plugged into regular outlet on our garage) is more than sufficient to support our daily driving habits. Will probably do...

    When do you think you will buy a 100% pure electric vehicle?

    EVs are a lot better fit for some than for others. If I did a lot of highway driving and weekend road trips we would not have gotten one. When we drive up to the lake or down to Ames we’ll take our gas SUV. But the Tesla is a perfect day to day car in the city. People get bent out of shape...

    MLB: ***2024 Minnesota Twins***

    They have to be on pace for some kind of historic offensive ineptitude, no? Was just looking at the team batting averages and couldn’t believe what I saw…

    When do you think you will buy a 100% pure electric vehicle?

    I’ve not tried it with a super charger but it will self park. You can select a spot in a parking lot or have it parallel. I also think you can have it leave the parking spot and come pick you up (like valet).

    When do you think you will buy a 100% pure electric vehicle?

    I’ve been using chill mode and it still accelerates very quickly from a stop. I can’t imagine what it’s like in aggressive.

    When do you think you will buy a 100% pure electric vehicle?

    I’ve been using the FSD more recently and overall has been a good experience. Two observations while driving in the city. First, it accelerates very quickly from stop signs/lights. Much faster than I would do normally although it’s more tempered if in traffic (I assume because it senses...

    Ok ok I admit my shameful secret. I kinda like the Cybertruck

    He was probably talking charging at home. The superchargers are multiple times faster. You can fully charge a Model 3 in around a half hour and be at 100% range.

    That “if” is my point. We’ve replaced one of King, Ward and Jones with an equal caliber player. Sure, Heise is probably better than Pav but that’s for like 4 minutes a game. I think saying “our entire core” is retuning is kind of an overstatement at this point. Backcourt, clearly yes. Big...

    ***Official 2024 Transfer Thread***

    We are going to be less athletic and not as good next year. Portal season has been a disappointment. Naively Thought we’d be a destination for transfers looking to win, but it’s all about the $$$.

    Tyrese Hunter Enters Portal Again

    All fair. Point being that average salary in the US is well below 6 figures. Kids coming out of school getting paid north of that are in highly competitive and exclusive roles/companies. Its not a bad post grad job.

    Tyrese Hunter Enters Portal Again

    It’s ridiculous when people say euro basketball is not a good living. Even if they’re only making $150k that is a good living by the standards of most Americans.

    Don’t disagree with you but I’m not talking about the auto pilot features like lane assist and adaptive cruise control. I’m talking about the full self driving where you put in an address and it drives there without you controlling acceleration, stopping, steering, turning corners, etc
