@brandenflasch We're waffling between MY AWD vs LR. Mostly local driving and less-than-daily commuting (~40 miles RT). Not worried about a little extra charging time on occasional road trips. Do you still feel good about your decision to go with AWD 4680 pack rather than LR?

@brandenflasch Our bumper pull horse trailer rides a little lower, so more like 4” drop on standard ride height or 2” drop on low ride height. We will likely experiment with both and see if ride height makes an appreciable difference in ride quality, efficiency, etc.

@brandenflasch I have done some measurements but have not actually towed yet with the R1T. With that caveat, I am thinking 2” drop on standard ride height for most trailers.

@Frenck @home_assistant The issue I have with the existing integrations is the delay before the light adjusts to the appropriate brightness and color temperature. A truly integrated solution would inject those parameters into all light.turn_on actions for a more seamless experience.

@balloob @deanlyoung @getawair Another suggestion: Some (all?) Awair devices have an ambient light sensor that is used to adjust LED brightness. It would be great if the illuminance level could also be exposed in some way via the local API.

@LisaMarie It only makes sense if your team is objectively bad. Like, if Kansas had beaten OU today. “We know we’re not good. You guys are clearly a better team than we are, and our win today was a fluke, but yeah, you lost to us, so you’re not *that* good.”

@LisaMarie Seriously. It always bugs me when fans of good teams do this.

@bayloretta @AmyGrahamPagitt Rice pudding is better, but tapioca will do in a pinch.

@AmyGrahamPagitt I feel you. The one dish that my parents made growing up that I refused to eat was South of the Border casserole. When we finally realized it was because the texture of the hominy grossed me out, they started making it with corn instead. Problem solved!

@VAStateParks We have a group of cabins rented starting tomorrow at First Landing, and some in our party are unable to make the multi-hour drive due to gas shortages along the route. Would you consider waiving cancellation fees in light of @GovernorVA declared state of emergency?
