A few weeks ago I made a post about how my orchid wasn’t blooming despite growing a ton of buds. I was told to let it soak when it needs to be watered instead of watering. I’ve been doing that, and some of the buds look like they are starting to bloom, and some of the buds are shriveling up and dying. I have a couple questions…

- Would a grow light help? My orchid is positioned on an east facing window normally and the past few weeks we’ve had virtually no sun. I bought a grow light today and I’m going to set it up tomorrow. Any suggestions?

- Am I watering too infrequently? I’ve been soaking it once a week for 20 minutes.

Thanks in advance!

I’ve always had a problem with deodorant staining my shirts underarms. I believe they were made worse because I washed them and used high heat in the dryer by accident. No matter how many times I put them through the wash now, the stains don’t go away. This has happened to so many of my clothes, is there any way to save these?

It’s played about twice as fast as what I played in the video and has multiple flutes

There is concrete under the LVP

I rescued a neglected succulent and I’m wondering what I should do to make it happier? Obviously it needs more light, but I’m not sure if I should cut the two (buds?) and try to replant them, or just let it grow the way it’s currently growing. Idk what happened to it and I don’t know much about succulents, any suggestions would be nice :)

I made a post earlier asking if a SP11 for $400 was a good deal and most people told me it’s too good to be true. It popped up on FB marketplace and I was pretty wary due to the price. I picked it up a few hours ago, the guy was older and told me his wife bought it for him but he “doesn’t want a tablet” so he was trying to get rid of it. He also told me he was surprised why he was getting so many messages on FB marketplace when he listed it, lol.

It’s in 11/10 condition, 120Hz OLED screen with 512gb, 16gb RAM and Snapdragon Elite. It also comes with the fancy keyboard that still works when disconnected and the pen. I didn’t have any plans to replace my Surface Pro 8, so I’m still deciding on whether keep the SP11 and sell the SP8, or sell the SP8 and make a killing on the SP11 lol. Either way I felt like I got a really good deal!

I bought a used Surface Pro 8 with the Core i3-1115G4, and everything online shows that the i3 model has Intel UHD graphics, except this Surface says it has Iris Xe graphics instead. I learned that it is a Surface Pro 8 for Business model, but the internet still says it should have Intel UHD graphics for the i3 model. Does anybody know why?

The buds started growing at the beginning of July, they started getting bigger through July and have looked the same for about 2 weeks. Is this normal or should I be concerned? It’s in bright indirect light and I water it 1x a week with 1/4th cup of water

They make the green plastic sticky just like the over patch itself. Almost every single time I peel the green plastic off in either of the two corners, I have to spend 5 minutes trying not to make the over patch come off with it. Sometimes I mess up and the over patch gets ruined since I start peeling slowly and suddenly the over patch rips up. Is it just me or does this drive anyone else crazy?!

I have a 2018 Ford Fusion Hybrid S (base model) that didn’t come with remote start. There was no button on the fob and it didn’t come with the ability to remote start via the Ford/Ford Pass app because it doesn’t have a telematics module.

Recently I read on another forum that all (or most) Fusions come with the hardware to remote start, but the option is disabled by default. I used FORScan to enable the remote start option, but because my key fob doesn’t have the button, I had no way to actually start it.

Most posts documenting how to “add” remote start showed a process where you replace the RTM antenna module to one that operates at 902Mhz, then you can buy an OEM 902Mhz remote with a remote start button. But you can add remote start without replacing the RTM module, instead you can buy an aftermarket key fob programmed to 315Mhz with a remote start button. It saves having to spend extra for an RTM module, and pulling part of the headliner down to install it.

Once I received the fob, I programmed it using FORScan, and the remote start function works perfectly. All in all it cost me under $40 and I didn’t need to replace any modules or take anything apart.

Here’s a link to the key fob I bought on AliExpress. I bought version ‘D’, the fob with remote start programmed at 315Hz.

I bought an 18’ Fusion Hybrid S about a month ago with 49k miles. Clean Carfax, good maintenance history, very rarely driven by the previous owner (not sure if that’s a good thing or not).

I have a question about the gas mileage. As pictured, I’m getting 37.6 average. I reset the MPG when I bought it, and have watched it go from 42 down to 37. It’s fluctuated between low 37s to 38 but doesn’t change much from that.

I’m a very slow driver and I’m very easy on gas/braking. I probably only use the first 50% of the gas pedal at most, and my brake score is always between 90-99% (I’ve only seen it below 90 once). I’ve already adjusted my driving habits even more to stay in EV mode as much as possible (I think if I drove even more conservatively people would start flipping me off haha).

The problem is, my “commutes” are probably a cars worst nightmare lol. I work in IT and my job requires me to drive back and forth between multiple buildings in the same town each day. During the work week, all of my commutes are between 5-10 minutes (no highways) and I probably go back and forth between at least 3 buildings a day. Furthermore the town is incredibly hilly, so I’m constantly driving uphill. Even when I go downhill, there’s lots of lights that I usually hit. My apartment is also 5min away from my “main” building, so during the work week all of my commutes are short and only a few miles each.

I bought a hybrid specifically so I could get the best gas mileage considering my driving circumstances. Couldn’t go EV or PHEV because I live in an apt with no outlet. 37mpg is muuuch better than the 22 I was getting with my old gas car, but seeing people get 40+ I was hoping it’d be a little higher. Does 37 seem like a normal amount for more “severe” driving habits? Or could this potentially point to an issue like the hybrid battery needing to be replaced (since the car wasn’t driven often before I had it)?

I’ve been told in the past to clean up my facial hair or that it looks messy. I don’t have any recent pics clean shaven unfortunately. Should I trim it more or shave it off completely?

I have a 18’ Fusion Hybrid S which originally came with SYNC 1, but it has this style gauge cluster. The only info I can get in the right screen is MPG/Efficiency info. I upgraded the unit to SYNC 3 recently but I still don’t have any other menus in that screen and I was wondering if anyone knows if it’s possible to unlock the other screens as shown in the attached image. I was hoping something maybe in FORScan?
