Yes... Our Subaru (Toyota) Solterra doors open like 65 degrees, it is ridiculous, so stupid and annoying and I want to kick the door open further every day. (NOTE: actual Subaru doors do open 90 degrees or almost, just not Subaru branded Toyota).

We have 3 kids and a dog. it's one of the smaller 3 rows I would say. With the 3 row up (in use) the trunk (hatch) space is really really small . You *can* split the 3rd row so 1 kid in the back and junk in the trunk extending forward to the 3rd row. It's something I would definitely look at and compare. Aside from that, its a nice car and gets very good safety ratings.

No thanks Kilian!

I'm 46 , the most dangerous thing I do aside from driving on vermont roads is rollerski (no brakes) on a road I am very familiar with. its a risk/reward i'm willing to take to try to be good at skiing.

We currently drive a Solterra and a PHEV Mazda cx90

1) Both our Solterra and our PHEV range take a HUGE battery range hit in cold weather. It doesn't matter functionally in the phev of course.

2) we road trip, and I really do not feel comfortable with charging infrastructure in some of the places we drive to the point where getting from A to B could be a huge pain in the butt including lots of stops.

if these aren't really big considerations I'd go for the full EV .

Your coverage should be listed in MySubaru, does it show the vehicle covered there?

the entire Podium (and then some) double poled the Birkie last year.... so it's more of a thing than you might think.

Here's something interesting, the DP guys will DP just about everything and anything because they are usually not that good (or practiced) at striding. There's a ski classics race that has an insanely steep climb (Reistadløpet), it is basically the only ski classics race where a non-DP'er can win. But other than that...........(aside from a homologated FIS 50k) the double polers are pretty much going to win lol.

i personally would do it, i plan to Double pole the Craftsbury marathon and the Gatineau this year and will do the Birkie Classic whenever I can get out there!!!

Yes this drives me nuts. God forbid we leave a safe distance in front of the car ahead , going the exact same speed as the car ahead, 10 mph over the speed limit, the car behind you will angrily veer over , pass you on the right , give you the finger ,, and cut you off , maybe brake check you before repeating to the next guy. people are crazy

On subaru you should probably use mysubaru AND carfax. Mysubaru is what the dealer sees I think, maybe?

The outback is going to be pretty small for 3. But I don't see why the Ascent would be bad but the Outback would be a consideration. I *think* you can still get an Ascent with a 2nd row bench, and its basically like a jumbo outback then you have the option to use 3rd row or not. If the Grand Highlander works better then I would do that.

I am curious, did you try off road mode?

I'm coming from Ascent and the CX90 is clearly inferior off road to the Subaru. But I've driven it in deep sand with "some" success (and some failure heh).

Its fine or even good for cardio benefit, but it is not really specific to swimming, biking or running . Hiking will not really make you a fast or efficient or economic runner, but it can give you a big aerobic capacity. I do hiking as part of my easy days but I get enough specificity in my sport otherwise.

Start with a Coxa belt, fill it absolutely to the brim, you can fit about 1.3 litres in it. Whatever your stomach can tolerate for that amount of fluid in carbs, I would only do about 200 grams in that but others could tolerate more I am sure. But that should get you about 2 hours, maybe a little more. After that it's probably a flask or gels + feed zones. Nothing will slow you down less than a Coxa in terms of fueling while moving without fiddling with packaging, etc., and it's nice to blow by the first couple of feed zones where it is congested and many people are stopping.

I would say in a 130 year old house, that isn't well insulated or sealed, probably not that well . it might be worth doing an energy audit, insulating, sealing, etc. or fuel that works better in colder overall temps.

depending on what you're dealing with I would look at a wood stove , with Rinnai or similar for supplement/backup. I dont know what heating oil costs.. I assume its expensive. I asked ChatGPT to compare including efficiency in the factor and here is what it gave me - there are assumptions in these #s of course so real life is going to be different.......allegedly even at cop2.0 it wins out over propane but that may be an optimistic seasonal avg cop....

Heating Cost Comparison — Cost per Million BTU of Useful Heat

Assumptions: Heating oil at $5/gallon, propane at $3/gallon, pellets at $425/ton, firewood at $400/cord, electricity at $0.22/kWh.

Notes:

• Costs represent useful heat delivered, accounting for assumed appliance efficiency.
• Heat pump COP is seasonal heat output divided by electricity consumed.
• Actual heat-pump COP varies with outdoor temperature, defrost cycles, and equipment.
• Firewood assumes roughly 20 million BTU per cord before stove losses.
• Excludes equipment installation, maintenance, labor, and fixed charges.

All values are estimates; actual results depend on equipment and operating conditions.

what makes you think the bigip is struggling or contributing to any sort of performance issues?

so

if the mitigation was done, is this still needed to be done immediately?

EJ257 will just make less power due to low compression. I don't think your ej257 bottom end pistons will hit the ej251 valves, it has been done before for sure. but you'd probably be better off with a rebuilt ej251.

I was going to say, it doesn't sound right for sure.

Check fuel/spark/compression/carbs on all 3 cylinders maybe???

56 cents per therm is really cheap (we pay 6x as much. for propane in vt..........) how much to run the gas line, will it pay off? and do you want A/C in the summer?

realistically it shouldn't be a huge problem, since we're all auto-renewing certs what, with 15-20 days of wiggle room?

I applied it, we do use apm / access policy so I guess it does something.

I ended up putting no lights in our sauna, ambient light from outside the sauna is plenty (its in our basement so , you have to have a light on to go down there). The door is entirely glass but everything else is wood.

yes we're all going to rely on Lets Encrypt, hopefully they never go down or leak their intermediate certs.

I'm not sure I understand the fix. And it also affects apm... so I guess we need it? I'm a bit confused honestly.

so this is the mitigation, and restart httpd_sam and httpd, that's it?

1.

APM uses php? hmmmm
