For context, the number of customers currently without power at 7 am Tuesday is only about 39,000. But a single "HECO customer" is sometimes an entire residential building, especially in older condo and apartment buildings where they built them with a single meter. Some buildings use third party submetering for billing but HECO still recognizes the ENTIRE building as one single account. For example if you don't pay an actual HECO bill from HECO you are part of a massive cluster of people that are contributing to a single master account. So the number of individual people being affected is much much higher than what the HECO customer count is suggesting. For example the Ena/Hobron area in Waikiki has a cluster of a dozen or so large high rise buildings all without power; between 12 individual HECO building accounts this is likely affecting over 5,000 people. So assuming the average is 5 people affected per HECO account because of urban Honolulu being impacted by these outages, it's very likely the amount of people without power is 200,000 or more. So if you're still without power you are far from being alone.

Does anyone have a solution like a suggested aftermarket product to resolve the LC 250s incredibly shitty sun visor? The really tall window driver window combined with a virtually useless tiny plastic visor pull out makes driving frustrating when the sun is even remotely at an angle. Absolute worst sun visor I've ever had of the 15 plus cars I've driven. Interested to see how people made it work better.

Sorry I would post this on the Anker forum But apparently you need to have karma on that sub and I have none. So here I am. I bought this $120 Anker - Power Bank (24000mAh, 140W, 3-Port) and I have it plugged into my USB C outlet in my car. When I try to charge my S25 it charges at an anemic rate of like 12 watts if I am also charging it at the same time from my car (which I basically have to do because I only get power from my USBC port on my car when it's turned on and running and that's exactly when I charge my phone). So I'm wondering what is the point of having pass-through charging if when it's charging from the car it only delivers a trickle charge rate to my phone. I don't know if I'm doing something wrong but I don't think so. Did I just waste $120? And I have to use a battery for the fast rate because my car USBC ports suck and only put out 12 watts of power even though the car was very expensive.

EDIT - Thanks for the responses. Like an idiot I understand I need more power from the USB C port in my car. I'll try one of those 65W cigarette lighter adapter chargers that can both charge the battery and my phone at the same time. I'm hoping 45 watts will make it to the phone and 20 to charge the battery. This will allow me to charge some light devices from the battery when my car is turned off.

I got a 2026 4Runner as a loaner and was delighted with the super high output USB C charging ports. They would charge my Samsung phone in under an hour mins (20-100%). So of course I assumed the 2027 Land Cruiser (in this case premium trim) would come with similar high output USB C ports. I was disappointed to learn that the most I could get out of the ports under the dash and behind the seat was about 13 watts. I measured it using an Anker battery. So it would take my phone well over 3 hours to charge from 20-100% while it was being used. It's basically a trickle charger.

I do understand there is a 12V cigarette adapter outlet which I plan to buy a new charger for. But it's a huge bummer a $72k 2027 vehicle provides such a pathetically slow charger. Would also be great to get a couple USB C ports that are always on. Even the anemic ones would be useful if they are always on because those could charge a small Anker battery when I'm not driving and then fast charge my phone when I am driving.

I am at wits end with this glitchy piece of shit app. Does anyone know how to actually loop a long track so that it loops the entire track and not just the last 2-3 minutes? Once in a while it works, where you choose the infinite loop setting and the track will repeat the whole track like it's supposed to. But most of the time it plays the entire track than rewinds just a 2-3 minutes and then infinitely loops that last 2-3 mins ONLY. It just can't manage to go back to the beginning and loop the whole track. Just a struggle for YouTube Music I guess. Anyone know a fix or a way I can permanently download the track and use a different app that will actually work like it's intended to?

Recently I've been getting declined using my Amazon card to pay using the Amazon app. Just to be clear the card is loaded into my Amazon app and is an option to pay at checkout at Whole foods stores. I only use the Amazon store card at amazon.com and Whole Foods. I always have the pay with Amazon store card option checked because I get 5% back. But now when the clerk scans the code on my phone the payment gets declined. They try over and over and it's embarrassing as there are people in line waiting. I eventually give up and use another card. I tried calling Amazon store card customer service and they said nothing is wrong with the card and they have no idea why the card is being declined at Whole foods. This is really annoying because I'm throwing away 5% savings at Whole Foods every time the card doesn't work. Anyone else having these issues and know how to resolve?

Ordered McDonald's at 10:19 am. McDonald's is 4 min drive from my house. Driver was chosen and delivery was set to arrive by 10:42-10:55. 10:58 original driver dropped off for some reason and now got a new delivery person. New delivery time set for 11:12-11:25. It says latest delivery is now 11:35, which is 1 hour and 16 mins past my order time and when the food was made. Food arrived at 11:28 cold and soggy. Uber says no refund because it was within the "latest delivery time" but this is bullshit because they just keep pushing that time out. If the second driver dropped off they would get a third and then push the latest time out. It's not a lot of money but this is just based on principle. How do they get away with this? Knowing we had to wait an hour and 10 mins for cold food from an eatery 4 mins away I would never have placed the order. Btw the tip was 24% , over $11 tip for a 4 min distance drive. So I can't imagine the first cancelled because of crappy tip.

edit: wanted to add that we are HEAVY Uber one consumers spending on average $600/mo on Ubereats alone.

We currently have a plaster lap pool that we need to refinish. We are going to reduce the depth of the pool to 3'-10" so it can be used as an aerobic and walking pool. To make the pool more effective for walking exercise I want the most foot grip possible.

My understanding is pebbletech would be one of the best solutions or any finish with exposed aggregate. But my pool guy (who primarily does tile not plaster) said 1" tile can be equally as "grippy" for walking. If I go with a heavily sanded grout (if there is such a thing for pool tile) and a matte or "sanded" finish tile would it be possible for a tiled pool to match the grippiness of an exposed aggregate finish? I do prefer the look of tile and the longevity of tile is a plus but my primary goal is to make the pool functional for walking exercise.

If the consensus is that tile can indeed match the grip, what tile is recommended? And a recommended sanded grout would be appreciated.

Absolutely fucking ridiculous

Is it normal to only get one mouthpiece when you get fitted and take the machine home for the first time? I went through the entire setup on the resmed app and was disappointed that I didn't get a "starter kit" which includes all 3 sizes (small wide, medium and large). I called the company that fitted me and they said I have to try the one that was recommended first and then return it to try another one if it doesn't work. How on earth and I supposed to know if there is a better fitting piece if I don't have access to it? Worse it's two hours drive back and forth to the place. This testing process seems absolutely ridiculous to me if I can't try all options available. My nose also seemed to fit the medium or large option better when I placed the cardboard template under my nose at home (which the company didn't even bother doing). What options do I have other than wasting 4 hours of my life to try the other two? Is there a recommended online option to buy them? Seems like an utter waste of money and not covered by insurance but I'd really like to have all three pieces available so I can fully take this machine and headset for a proper test run.

When I search by word in Textra I get results but when I click on the thread to show it it just shows the person on the thread but no messages. It's just blank. Is this a bug? I tried to clear cache and restart phone and still nothing.

54M 6-2 195 lb. I had awful symptoms of strep throat for 3 days (did not improve over 3 days) and went to see a doc to see if it's strep. Antigen swab test came back negative. Second swab test was done but doc said it will take several days to get the result. Based on my symptoms doc prescribed me Amoxicillin/Potassium Clavulanate and told me to start taking them immediately. Doc said if the test comes back negative then I can stop taking it. I'm on day two and my symptoms are virtually gone. I don't think I'll get the test results until next week because of the long weekend. I eat food with the medication but I still get nauseous and have some diarrhea (I didn't have these symptoms prior to taking the meds). Knowing my symptoms have resolved, should I stop taking the meds now or should I continue to take them until I get the test results back on Monday or Tuesday. And if the result comes back positive do I continue to take the meds for the full 10 days? Thank you for any advice.

I was going to sign up for Function Health but it's not available in Hawaii. They offer blood tests and full body MRI scans for about $900. Can anyone recommend anyone else that offers a similar preventative health service?

​When did they start restricting this?

I used to be able to see my phone in bright sunlight after Goodlock allowed overriding the auto-screen dimming when the phone warms up. Now when I check that setting it doesn't seem to help. The phone gets extremely dim when under bright sunlight again. I updated all of Goodlock. Any suggestions?

I have an outdoor courtyard area that's 20 feet wide and 25 feet deep and I want to suspend a medium sized chandelier so that it hangs in the middle of it. Does anyone have any advice on how best to do this? I'm thinking stainless steel cables with turnbuckles that crisscross the courtyard with them overlapping in the middle. Basically making an X with the chandelier being hung in the middle. If this could be done with one cable that would be best but I'm assuming that won't work because it isn't sturdy enough. My concern is overall strength of the assembly and how wind will put pressure on it. Also what hardware is recommended for the part that attached the chandelier to the crisscrossing cables. The walls will be wood stud and the anchors will go into the studs. This is new construction so I can beef up as needed. Chandelier will be roughly 18" tall by 12" wide (not a large chandelier) weighing about 20 lbs. I would like the cables and electrical wire to be as invisible as possible. I understand this will probably need to be a 12/24V fixture due to exposed wire and electrical code. Any advice is much appreciated.

As the title states. After update swiping up on home screen does the exact same thing as swiping down. It only shows apps. I want to be able to swipe up and see my recent used list. The update broke something but I don't know what

I've read through dozens of posts with people stating cholesterol numbers and asking advice on whether they should go on a statin or not. But many don't note if they've significantly restricted diet (e.g. big reduction in saturated fats and increase in fiber) to get to those numbers. Do the majority try their best with strict dietary changes before deciding to go on statins or do most people still have less than ideal diets before making that decision?
