First time using the NACS adapter and I didn’t work

I’m in a rural town with one level 2 charger. The CCS charger was out of order to I tried the NACS with the oem adapter. I plugged it in and the charger bars flashed and the car said “charging unsuccessful”. I unplugged everything and tried again and got the same message. Is it because it is level 2 and the adapter supports DC fast charging? My friend has used her NACS to CCS adapter to level 2 charge her Tesla at my house several times. Or, is it more likely just an issue with the charger itself?

Made bread from the whey left over from yogurt

I made yogurt, my husband made bread- all from one 1/2 gallon of milk. I never know what to do with the whey from making yogurt— today we found our solution. One half gallon of milk yields enough whey for at least three loaves of bread plus enough yogurt for two weeks. Bread is over proofed, but will still make great school lunches.

Ideas: Creative/affordable tomato supports in 4x8 foot beds

I just finished building my new raised bed project. My old beds had individual covers and I used twine strung from the roof for the tomatoes to climb, and it worked well. Now, I don't have this infrastructure to build off of. I'm also reeling from the costs of a 16x24 fully fenced vegetable garden, so I don't want to spend a ton of money.

I am currently thinking about fence wire between t-posts that I would put 3/4th of the way back of the beds so I can access the tomatoes from the back, and the rest of the plants from the side/front. But before I construct those, I'd love to see your solutions to support tomatoes and other climbers in 4x8 beds.

Thanks

▲ 1 r/GV60

I am considering a used GV60 that is being sold by Hyundai North America as factory buy back. The reason listed is “rattle noise inside vehicle” or “throttle noise inside the cabin”. It sounds to me like the owner was oblivious to the false ICE engine noise and/or the car had the trunk rattle, which seems like an easy fix. Are there other issues this may be? I unfortunately won’t be able to drive the car before purchasing, but it does seem I’ll have some recourse if there really is an unresolved issue. I appreciate your thoughts are about this potential issue.

Thanks

▲ 1 r/BMWI4

I’m in the market for a used EV. My heart says i4- but it is at the top of my price range and less practical than the other cars I’m considering (Mustang Mach-e and Ev6)

I am currently leasing an EV6 and it fits our family really well. I have two kids aged 10 snd 8, and we are short people. The EV6 has the space we need when we go on weekend trips plus way more than we need for around town driving. We also have an SUV but the fuel economy is atrocious so we don’t like driving it long distances if we can avoid it.

So, I know the i4 will work for us now. I know it will work well for our typical driving, but I’m concerned it won’t fit us in a few years, and that it won’t fit us for weekend trips. I know we can always use the SUV for our weekend trips, but I don’t necessarily want to default to that.

I’d love to hear from other families how they find the i4 for longer trips and trips that require luggage.

Thanks

▲ 6 r/Raisedbed+1 crossposts

I filled these new beds using the lasagna method, but as I finalize the irrigation and fence, I cannot ignore how much compaction has already happened. In hindsight, I did not fill them high enough with organic matter before adding the soil.

In February, I ordered 3 cubic yards of a 50/50 compost/topsoil blend, which wasn't cheap. It did the job, but now I'm basically back to the height I was before adding the soil. I'm about to suck it up and put in the same order again, but does anyone have thoughts on how I can fill the beds in a more economical method? I don't want to dig all this dirt out to add more under it, nor do I want to bury the soil under lower-quality dirt. But, is there some sort of filler I can mix in to get some height? Like straw?
