OK, immature jokes aside; Saturday is movie night for me and my friends, and we’ve been spending the past year going through the entire Star Wars franchise in chronological order.
Tonight we’ll watch the last half of The Mandalorian season 2. We’re nearly finished!
One of my kids is currently attending a birthday party at the local trampoline park, so as I’m the driver I’m currently playing chess and writing this post while waiting. By the time I get home it’s time to herd half of my offsprings to bed, after which I have a few beers waiting for me, as well as a savegame in Songs of Syx I started on yesterday.
Oh, and I finally found a replacement wrist band that fits my Garmin watch today, so I’m replacing it at some point during the evening.
I spent the entire evening playing virtual D&D while sewing details onto a corset and making a bloody necklace (it’s for a stage act). Quite happy with the result.
Got hotpot with like 50 of my coworkers. Had a blast. Some table ordered too much food and it was hilarious for everyone else as we watched them struggle to finish it all. We had to rotate people into their table to help eat the food.
Worked on some music (synthesizer programming) got dinner with bae, enjoyed some recreational drugs in lieu of alcohol (dry January, lol) and cuddling with the cat!
I bought my first car last summer at 35, this is the first longer trip I’ll do in it (apart from looking at the northern most bus stop in SL’s area and also looking at Dannemora Gruva), I just had breakfast and am bow heading out in the beautiful weather
I have a 2021 Seat Leon PHEV hatchback, bought it last year, and today was the first major issue…
After visiting Eskilstuna, I stopped by Arlanda on my way back to see if I could take some good photos, I had my camera and locked the car, tried to get a few shots, but nothing interesting happened, then 10 min later, when I wanted to leave, the car would not unlock the doors…
I called for a mechanic, ha managed to get the driver’s side door open, pop the bonnet and with a battery booster, got me going again.
I suspect an old battery, and I will call a workshop on monday to get it checked out.
Yeah it’s weird. So much electronics in the cars now that they become unreliable. I heard that Volkswagens infotainment systems completely lock up sometimes and require a reboot. Luckily the car still works when it happens…
My Leon has been a really good car for me, I bought it used, with 15000km run on it, and now at 35000km this is the first big issue I have had.
As for infotainment issues, I have sort of had issues with mine, the main infotainment unit works fine, but the carplay link to my iPhone do get messed up from time to time, especially if it is running wirelessly.
I think it had more to do with radio interference and how the Carplay protocol is implemented rather than the infotainment in the car.
I have however found an external factor that has messed with my car’s built in navigation system, Russia spoofing GPS signals, I drove around the northern suburbs of Stockholm, and my car’s map thought I was driving in the southern suburbs and costantly moved my marker all over the place, my phone was fine though at the same time…
A town about 2h driving west of Stockholm in Sweden, they have a cool museum with stationary steam engines from their industrial history, there is another museum showing off more of it as well, including some swords, guns and rifles made in the town.
