There's never a good time to mow the lawn.

The lawn post below reminds me. I've left ours to get overgrown, partly for "think of the wildlifes", partly because it hasn't dried out since Christmas.

And now we have a record breaking heatwave predicted so I shouldn't cut our too-long grass and dandelions short because it will all die off.

When am I supposed to cut the damn thing? Or should I just get it covered in resin bound gravel instead?

Garden lights, why can't I find them?

After years of solar garden lights that only last one or two years I want to install powered ones, and thought I may as well do it properly and use addressable lights controlled by WLED.

I want to start simple, two 5m/15' runs of spike lights along the front of flowerbeds.

But I cannot find any! I can see long LED strips or the permanent house lights which are much too close together, but nothing like the traditional lights on short poles about 1m/3' apart.

Am I going to have to make my own?

Adaptive Speeding?

I use Adaptive cruise a lot in my 2023 V3 Born. It reads speed limit signs fine and usually shows the correct speed limits.

But sometimes when we go from following a car or from being in a lower limit to a higher limit, it will let the speed go up to 4-5 mph over the limit, enough to set off my +3mph speed warning bongs.

Surely it should never accelerate up to over the limit that it absolutely knows about?

I love the way it slows and brakes when on adaptive cruise, but hate that it stops doing that as soon as I touch the brakes myself. If I don't spot that ACC has quit then I have some hairy moments before getting to the brakes myself.

I know there is some sort of last minute low speed braking in there too but haven't dared try to drive into things to test it out.

Why wouldn't they have the auto braking permanently enabled?
