Anyone else having this problem? My wife has an 11 pro. You’ll pry it out of her cold dead hands. It worked great. Right until our coverage switched over. Now it’s a dog, often refusing to send texts when she clearly lte connectivity. When it does finally figure something out texts come and go in jumbled order.
Wow.
My fellow 13/14 stick shift owners - anyone else notice the recall mentions 15-16 stick fusions as well? Did I misread that?
Still going through the car. What should I look into first? Oil and brakes are done.
For reference, we have a ‘14 1.6l stick shift. We’ve owned it since new. Just did our first major outlay of maintenance this spring. Rear brakes and lines (the lines aged out), timing belt and water pump (you’re already there, just get it done; 2 years past due date on the belt), front brakes and rotors, sneakers, and the rear shocks failed. So yeah, expensive spring. I’ve had to do brakes and sneakers in the past, but really never had a confluence of wear and tear items like this.
Anyways, been looking for a car for the kids. I thought, hey we know the fusion. Stay away from 1.5 and 2.0 and I should be good, right? RIGHT?
Now I had never test driven anything other than stick 1.6l when we were looking originally. Yeah, found one locally that had been ordered and the customer backed out. Didn’t buy that one but knew what I wanted and ordered. Not a muscle car by any stretch but fun to drive.
I test drove a 2.5l with 70k miles yesterday. My impression was: oh, a rental car. Sounds like all other NA 4s. Slushomatic shifts like all other NA 4s. I came away with the thought: this car will neither get you into trouble nor out of trouble. You know, a fleet rental car. This example wasn’t fleet but ugh.
So, my question to all you with the small ecoboost and the automatic, is it any better? I’ll go search for a 13 if I have to.
EDIT TO ADD: Welp. They just called and knocked $4k off. I wasn't going to bite on the car, too much cosmetic wear and tear on the exterior to be a $12.5k car, but $8.5k, for a 70k mile car, I guess we're buying a 2.5l Fusion.
Hi all. Fellow musician (albeit, a bassoonist. You all rock. Every concert my orchestra plays a piece that calls for harp... well, it's a good pair of days).
I'm guessing this is a long shot. A flautist friend of mine found a recording of Lovreglio's 'Notturne' for flute, bassoon, harp. We're trying to find the sheet music. Anyone have a good lead? So far I'm coming up with nada. IMSLP has 4 pieces by him, none of them this.
Yes, I'm asking in the bassoon and flute subreddits as well. Thanks anyone who has a lead!

I know I've been lucky. I just haven't had to deal with a lot of the crap that gets posted on this sub so often. This week it finally happened. Not to me, but to my youngest kid who is searching for their first job. Lots of job applications, started interviews, blah blah blah.
One of the places she was GOING to apply to was Whole Paycheck. I don't know why they want your whole paycheck - it's not as if they're giving you whole paycheck value and quality anymore. Anyways, I digress. Said kid started the application. And got put onto a personality test. WTF? She got about 10-15 questions into the questionnaire - a lot of them were met with, "WTF do I care about this? I don't have any opinion on it. Why are you asking me?" At that point kiddo, wife and I were all in agreement: job is not worth that amount of aggravation. She noped out.
So yeah, I guess people don't want to "work" anymore. I see no reason why how I feel about a particular subject in art is relevant to stocking shelves or scanning items.
