saw this hiking by the river in Montana, USA at 4800 foot elevation and it looks like a tropical house plant you’d see in a Dr’s office waiting room?
Any Volvo employees lurking here who might be able to offer a number or a guess on how many 2024 C40 or XC40 recharge sold in the US with the woolen interior?
Even formally working at a dealer, I only saw the wool twice in two years…
I desperately want to get my hands on a 2024 C40 with wool interior (hopefully coming off lease?) and CPO. I’d even take an XC40 if I could get the wool
I very nearly spec ordered one at the time… I wish I had. If the OSD program had been available on EV’s, I likely would have pulled the trigger.
I’m very worried the car I want is an absolute unicorn or damn near it. Any idea how many of these vehicles left the factory with the recycled wool interior?
Howdy folks, I previously lived in Montana back in 08/09 and I’m coming back for good!
As a chef and Bon Vivant from the bible belt i’m well acquainted with backward and regressive alcohol regulation…. but this wacky idea that you can only get liquor by the drink if you want to dine out in a shitty restaurant that is connected to a truckstop/convenience store/video poker casino has me trying to figure out how in the heck the restaurateur/hospitality/innkeeper’s lobby has not been able to crack the silly liquor license limit system??
They have gotten really rare nowadays, but back when NC had lots of dry counties and dry towns, the saving grace was you could ‘brown bag’ (BYOB with liquor) into lots of places. Is this a thing in Montana?
I’m not interested in wine margaritas or a ‘tequila sunrise’ made with saké. Sure I love nice wine with my steak, mimosa brunch, or sakè with my sushi- but beer is pretty lame and it’s hard to beat a Beam & water with a smashburger…. Brown-Bagging would surely open up a lot more options
Please don’t tell me ‘we’re full’ or ‘if you don’t like it stay in the south’ cause you ain’t seen filled up til i get there 😜
I dug Rise Above back when they were out of Hillman beer, pleasantly surprised to have them in my neighborhood after I moved to Fairview… It seems like it kind of petered out before Helene? Or maybe the hurricane forced their closure?
Have they opened elsewhere under a new incarnation? Or the leadership disseminated into working for other local biz?
I can’t understand why there has been no recall issued on the strut mounts for our performance pack cars? I’m barely over 25,000 miles and just set my *third warranty service appointment to have the strut mounts replaced.
It’s mildly inconvenient to get my car to the service center. (2 1/2 hour drive, but same town as my dad lives- so I can visit). I really don’t care if Polestar needs to keep paying to fix this issue, but my warranty will be out next year and I’m sure I’ll need a fresh set of strut mounts again by then.
I’m certainly not interested in paying for this out-of-pocket every year, and I have concerns about the effects on these *very expensive Ohlins due to any alignment/wear and tear issues with the faulty mounts.
Does anyone have any insight on why there hasn’t been a recall slapped on these things?
Hello folks, executive chef at an 800 bed hospital here.
My operation obviously includes a massive walk-in cooler and walk-in freezer positioned next to each other
Due to poor design and placement, both the freezer and cooler are having issues with the floors and we are staring down a project where both need to be decommissioned on a short term basis for extensive work to the (aluminum plate) floor. 1-2weeks each i’m guessing.
Usually, large scale improvements to facility refrigeration necessitate renting refrigerated trailers- parking them at the loading dock, and using those as our “walk-in cooler/freezer“ for the duration of the project. I’ve played this game working most my career as a corporate chef in these big facilities.
Unfortunately, at my current facility, it is a seven minute walk *each way* from the kitchen to the elevator to the sublevel down an incredibly long hallway and out to the loading dock. You also have to pass through several customer facing areas and utilize service elevators that are also heavily relied on for patient transport through the hospital.
On a daily basis, there’s upwards of 50 employees & vendors who are using the cooler and freezer for production, storage and cooling of floor stock items, all of our staged prep for multi-day cooks are organized all over the cooler on speed racks or in bus tubs and bins.
**** MY BRILLIANT IDEA is to undertake the flooring project in the walk-in cooler first. We would adjust the freezer thermostat, change orifices, or make other modifications to the unit there -to turn the freezer into a walk-in cooler while the cooler floor is repaired. Once the cooler has a new floor we can move the stuff back and tackle the freezer floor.
It would be tremendously more helpful to have only the freezer products relocated to freezer trailer at the loading dock. We can plan those trips with carts to go down and pull product in a couple big trips throughout the day. Everything in the freezer is still in boxes or cases where it can be stacked along one side to leave an open pathway for access, and the stacking/placement of items (i.e. raw chicken versus bread) is less critical while frozen than it is while refrigerated.
The products in the walk-in cooler are much more difficult to manage in a remote trailer because things have been taken out of their boxes, spread out on sheet pans to slack or arranged on speed racks with bun bags and need to come in and out of the multiple times across the prep & production cycle.
Someone told me it’s simply impossible to convert the freezer to run in “cooler mode“ for a few weeks. I just want to know is it really “impossible“ or is it “inconvenient and possibly expensive“ to pull this off?
