Hello friends, I'm back! I put off posting this since I have seen a few others of this nature, and figured I would just hold off until I had more data. Not a whole lot has changed, really.

Long Trip with My Family
That Time My Charger Melted - update to this... it was a loose connection. Oops. The Lectron charger from Amazon is still going strong and I'm pretty happy with the 16 amps. It's all I need.

Same as last time, we are going to start with the gripes!

If something was a gripe in the last post and isn't below, I either no long care, or they fixed it. I'll remark on a few of them after this section.

• Honestly... my biggest gripe with the car is that the steering wheel needs to telescope out at least another inch. This is only so high because it's basically the only thing I can think of, aside from interior space, that can't be fixed via software updates. I have chronic back issues that have been better since getting the car due to how adjustable the seat is. But I feel a bit too far away from the wheel.
• The app is missing a lot of no-brainer features and it's SLOW AS HELL. Can't open the trunk. Must set a timer to precondition the battery. Can't get trip/mileage details, or anything like that. Also as of 2.9 I have had intermittent PaaK issues when I never did before.
• Even though I've never had a car with a reverse camera before this, yes I agree with everyone else that loading the camera takes way too long.
• I'm still baffled and annoyed that there isn't a play/pause button on the steering wheel... BUT THERE IS A BUTTON THAT DOES ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!
• Similar to above, no clock on the instrument panel. I've adjusted to it but still just really irks me.

Android and phone shenanigans

• Yes, still no album art over bluetooth. It's whatever to me by this point but still worth mentioning.
• The issues with sending texts is still ongoing. This seems to be entirely me, or my phone (Nokia XR20) as I've seen no one else here mention anything about it ever.
• Android Auto(motive) still has absolutely no idea what to do with MMS messages and I don't even bother trying to play or reply to group chats.
• Recently, and intermittently, incoming calls don't go through the car, and I have to pick up my phone, answer it, and then it goes through Bluetooth media. This is big oof to me. I have fully re-paired my phone once already.
• I challenge everyone else to give the car a voice command to navigate to an address with street number 5555. Dead serious here, go do it.

Updates to the good stuff, and comments on things that have been solved

• My TCAM issues were never debilitating, but they seem to have completely disappeared over the past few updates.
• They enhanced the charging curve, and I've only fast charged a couple of times since the update. It's not blazing fast but much easier to take advantage of our 30mins free charging.
• I've gotten used to the 1PD, it's fine.
• We have plenty of in-car entertainment options now.... I watched an hour of Top Gun: Maverick on Epix while stopping to charge twice during my Christmas commute. It worked fine and the screen serves well. That's it though, I haven't touched any of the games or YouTube yet.
• Customer service at Columbus during my first maintenance last week was much, much better than my experience ordering and taking delivery at Detroit. They were genuinely happy to have it and remarked that it was the first one they'd seen driven so much, despite seeing 40+ per month from as far away as St. Louis since opening in October. They even comped me an alignment check which I was perfectly willing to pay for.
• Alright, I downright love how the car is balanced and handles. It floats like a 5000 pound feather. I will say, I have done some spirited driving, and if you plan on doing a lot... Get the performance pack. Not for the reason you're thinking of. It really needs those bigger brakes. The car luckily doesn't push my limits, but you can easily go right off the road taking a twisty too fast downhill. I know because I almost did. I was doing 60, heh... The only time I've had this issue.
• I have a second set of wheels with winter tires, and change them myself. Despite that and also our absolutely disastrous roads, the alignment was still in spec and the suspension looks great.
• The new range assistant app is GREAT! I leave the instrument panel on standard so I don't have to worry about going too far, but I typically was getting numbers indicating 20-30 miles more than EPA. The new app generally concurs with this (I do a lot of city driving, probably around 70%).
• Speaking of the range, any owner can tell you that the efficiency is much better than anyone expected. At the start of this year, I began including my efficiency number in my Uber log when I get home. Nothing fancy, just the number and some basic calculations. As of tonight, I have 5628.2 miles and an average efficiency of 27.29kw/100mi. It should drop through the summer - I've been getting between 22 and 25 the past month. The highest was 35.1 over the course of 47.8 miles. I remember quitting early that night because the weather was getting real bad - freezing rain.
• The worst nights, as I recall, were very cold but also wet. Just the heater isn't too bad, but I blame the dehumidifier for the uptick in consumption. Which is fine because it's a genius feature that I don't think I can live without now. Note that I always precondition with a timer if the weather is below 50F or above 80F. You would be surprised how much of a difference it makes, especially if you aren't going far. If it's cold, preconditioning and the heated seats/wheel are all I need until it gets under 40F.
• After figuring out Pilot Assist and what it is good at (and what it is not) I basically only use it on the highway for long-ish drives. This is not a knock against it, the system is great and seems to improve just a bit every time they try to update it. Phantom braking does exist but is not at all problematic. It has stopped freaking out when lanes split or you veer toward a ramp. This system was meant to encourage and reward good driving behavior by ASSISTING the PILOT. Do not abuse it.
• An update to my comment about the backseat. I had my 6'2" father test out the front AND rear passenger after I put the front seat in a reasonable position. He had no issues and has even ridden back there for a while with no complaint.
• The H&K sound system is fine for me. I'm a big metalhead so I don't need window shattering bass. A bit of work on the equalizer and it competes with the surround in my living room. The option to focus the sound came in handy when I wanted to listen to music but my niece wanted to watch cartoons during our family trip.
• The upholstery, is, in fact, very easy to clean. I also got the Tuxmats which are freakin' awesome. Seeing those was another first for the Columbus space and they really liked them, too.

TL;DR - I am still 110% satisfied after a year and almost 20,000 miles. Will absolutely look into another Polestar product as my next car. I think any other follow-up posts will be if something goes seriously wrong, or I hit 100,000 miles :).
I need to get to bed soon, so I'll check out the comments in the morning.

I’m looking to plant or make a flower bed for rose bushes. I haven’t had luck in finding any at Lowe’s or Home Depot. Has anyone sus was fully planted rose bushes ? Where did y’all get them ? And do they die completely during any season ?

Hey team, I’ve watched videos and none are my model. I switched to the mulch plug and side discharge today and it shut off about every 5-10 seconds on a fully charged battery. Grass was low to begin with. It would run if I just went straight - turned off consistently with swivels and turns.
Nothing has loosened up over time as the mower was purchased this past weekend and this was its second time in use (back yard then front yard). Any hot tips? Just take it back to Home Depot and exchange it?

I spend a good amount of money at Lowes, Home Depot, landscape supply stores, construction materials wholesalers, Amazon, plumbing companies, etc.
What do you use?

Monkey Flask
Took a piss test today using monkey flask 5/31. Shook the heat pad a bit before I stuck it on the opposite side of the flask. Then obviously put the temp strip side facing my crotch area. I wanted to make sure it stayed warm so I just had it against my body INSIDE my boxers. Wore some thick Adidas shorts over my boxers and some loose jeans over that with Cowboy boots. Thought about putting the flask in the sleeves of my boots but it was my first piss test so decided to play it safe just in case they asked me to remove them. Wore a belt also to make my outfit look more normal and fitting. Waited at home for an hour and a half before I left to take the test with the flask warming up in my pants. I’m in Texas so keeping it hot while driving towards the clinic wasn’t a problem. Waited a bit in my car with the ac off for about 10 mins before entering. It read 102 at that point and I just said fuck it. Rather it be too hot than too cold. Signed in and everything. Waited about 15 mins then got called in. Was asked to empty my pockets, fill the cup between a minimum/maximum marker and was given 4 mins. Unbuckled my pants and decided to do everything as calmly and silently as I could. Popped the flask as it still read 102 and just shook it a bit to make it fizz. After filling the cup to my liking I immediately made sure it was sealed correctly. Peed a bit in the toilet after and held it to make it seem like I was actually taking it myself. Came out the restroom and temperature seemed correct to the Nurse and sent me off the rest my day. Let y’all know how it goes. It’s a 10 panel.

I had two appliances delivered to my home back in April. They had to come through my back door and would not fit, so the delivery company had to remove both my storm door and main door to get them in. They put them back on, but the storm door did not latch/line up properly anymore. I noticed this a few days after and that afternoon the wind ripped my storm door right off.
I reached out to Home Depot where I bought the appliances, who referred me to their insurance company, who referred me to the delivery company’s insurance department.
The delivery company denied my claim because they said I signed off on the delivery. On the delivery slip it only states that the delivered goods were in good order, not that there was any damage to my other property or my home. In fact they didn’t even tell me to inspect the appliances before they left, much less the delivery route and the doors they removed! I feel like they are telling me I signed something that doesn’t say what they say it is.
I have been very adamant with them and they re-opened the file, however it may be denied again. What recourse do I have if they deny it again? It’s very frustrating because 1) what I signed does not say they didn’t damage my property, only that the “delivered goods were in good order” and 2) they were in a huge rush with the delivery (they were late), didn’t hook up the appliances, and didn’t tell me to inspect anything. I acknowledge I signed off on the delivery, but the wording of what I signed doesn’t include damage to my other property/home, nor was I told to do so.
I already reached out to HD and they said it’s out of their hands. I could try my home insurance but it probably isn’t worth it. I am also considering going to the Ombudsman.
I am super frustrated and disappointed since they literally broke my property! Am I being unreasonable? This is the first time this has happened to me. Any advice is appreciated.

Question: What are the downsides or advantages to painting studs, sheathing, rafters etc. if they will eventually be insulated (batts probably) and drywalled? The members are 40+ years old, rough cut true size lumber, and feels far drier than a home depot 2x4.
Context: I 'inherited' dozens of partial gallons of 3-10 year old interior and exterior paints (and some stains, poly and varnish) from a previous occupant. I have a garage that I eventually want to insulate and drywall, as well as some additions to the main house that are just sheathing, studs and subfloor, (main structure is mostly insulated) that I will eventually give the same treatment. I'd love to use up all the viable paint and coatings rather than cart them to the dump or leave them outside to dry out uselessly. Also, pretty colors make brain go brrr.
I inquired about donating them, but Habitat is uninterested and my craigslist ad has been unanswered. I also enjoy listening to audiobooks while my hands are busy, so the actual task of painting, even if it is ultimately useless, would be enjoyable to me.

The contrast between Crip Mac, and the panels of girls they be interviewing is wild. You can feel the confusion all the girls be having and watching Bricc Baby laughing because he knows he will have to translate is wild 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This shall make for some wild future content.

I (19m) had been fishing for 5 hours hadn’t eaten all day and was running on not much sleep, smoked some cones before fishing and bad 2 beers on boat (I hardly ever drink). I get back to the boat ramp in the dark, tie my boat up, walk up to get my car and trailer to find that someone had illegally parked in front of my car in the specifically signed “cars with trailers and boats only” when I was very clearly taking up the whole long parking space and it’s pretty obvious you can’t park in front of someone with no way for them to get out. Every other spot In the section was also illegally parked leaving me with no way out essentially stranded with my boat in the water and no way home. (My licence is also currently suspended but the ramp is a 5 min drive so I wasn’t worried about getting caught).
I went to a level of rage I only experienced once at the end of my first manic episode after being prescribed antidepressants causing the start of my bipolar. I don’t know what possessed me but I keyed a line the full length of his car on both sides and carved dickhead into the door panel. I somehow got out after driving through a massive bush and almost ruining my car and trailer on the tall curb and went home still in that rage thinking it was funny and they deserved it.
After like 30 mins I realised what the fuck I had done and it was like I didn’t even remember it or who I was in that moment. Was literally like what the fuck did I just do. The sinking feeling was so bad and I was thinking I’ve just let the rage I only developed in the last year from this condition fuck my life up and give me a criminal record. A fair few rugby players saw me and I don’t know if there’s cameras.
Idk what to think I’m a fucking idiot and did a terrible thing and I’m also fucking terrified of the police getting involved. My condition I feel is one of the reasons but it’s not an excuse I feel terrible .
I’m not an angry person at all I was never before this it really sucks :(

1) Recursive Papa Tim. Papa Tim is known in home depots nationwide for his trademark shirt blazened with a logo of his signature glasses and mustache. But earlier drafts of this logo reportedly had a shirt as well, with a logo of the same signature glasses and mustache. This infinite loop allegedly drove the original artist insane, and throughout his decent into madness, witnesses say Papa Tim simply smiled and gently plucked his guitar.
2) Hologram performances. In 'Twinkle Twinkle' the singer and guitarist appear directly across from one another, but never make eye contact. It's hard to imagine that they were ever performing together, and some are even saying the guitarist - who has yet to be heard from again - was photoshopped in posthumously.
3) London Bridges. To some, this title sounds like a errant pluralization. But to others, this coded Ms Rachel adaptation is actually a UK-based plot to confront musical artist Christopher Brian Bridges. Is this London Bridges - better known by his stage name of Ludacris - falling down?
4) George's Secret. Herbie's efforts to count to 5 and to pickle can be unrelenting, so George rarely gets the spotlight he deserves. But in the bucolic solice of a suburban reservoir, this misunderstood green loner finally reflects on the caterpillar's journey. Those close to him ask: is he finally ready to reveal his secret? Can George become the butterfly he was meant to be?
5) 'Uh Oh, I Dropped My Toy.' This will not be the first victim of Rachel's relationship with alcohol- or the last.
6) Baby put your pants on. Long before Aaron and Rachel dated, the popular entertainer had a deadbeat former lover named Derrick who put his own dreams of becoming a tik tok pantaloon craftsman above everyone else in his life. After years of putting his slacks above the facts, Rachel had enough. As Derrick stood bare in the bedroom, Rachel had one final request: 'pull em up tight'.
