Screen times out. To read the notifications after the screen times out, I have to turn the phone on and then swipe down to display the notifications. This is related to turning the phone on. I have no security features enabled related to turning on my phone (my phone and I are never separated)...

I have BANNER STYLE PERSISTENT on my phone but it does not make the notifications stay on

For example, when I get a text or email, the content of the text or email shows up on my screen but it only stays on for a few seconds. If i am driving, I cannot always immediately look at the screen to read the text. Any way to get the notifications to stay on for a minute or two or even five...

A very valid point. I stay a few car lengths behind and only in congested traffic where you might be doing thirty mph.

You definitely do not want to encounter a gator when you are on the BMW. Nice bike!

Sometimes there will be a fellow motorist who I notice is not constantly braking and I will stay behind them. We are not going slower than surrounding traffic, just not braking as much.

When it is stop and go on the highway due to the volume of traffic. I stay a few car lengths behind the truck because I don't want to inhale the exhaust or the dust kicked up. I don't care if there are a few cars between me and the truck. Trucks smooth out the speed and greatly cut down on my...

That is a bit of a stretch, isn't it? While I agree thermal pads should be used to bridge gaps, I don't think there is much difference in thermal conductivity betweem thermal paste and thermal pads. Thermal paste is silicone grease with Zinc Oxide to improve heat transfer. Thermal pads are...

When I installed the ICM in 2011, I cleaned off really well and used quality thermal paste and got 15 years out of the ICM. The factory installed ICM only lasted five years. Google Vortec ICM to see that they are problematic. The heat sink is really not large enough and it is mounted just above...

Thanks, Trav. That does seem to be the best product to fill the gap. I wasn't aware that such a product existed.

I used something similar This can is about forty years old . I don't think they deteriorate with age.

The Ignition Control Module failed for a second time on my truck. First time was in 2011, so the replacement genuine GM ICM lasted fifteen years. After the first failure, I bought a spare module and left in in my glove box. This time, when the module failed, I recognised the symptoms, changed...

I did not request a one time code, at least not in the last few days. Yet the sender address seems legit xxxxx. microsoft .com

I have not been following the accident closely and am just going by what I see in the photo. The lane itself had been ploughed. She must have been going well over the safe speed to climb up a four foot ramp and launch herself over the barrier.

It is the Canadian Tire sale which made me consider the European Car Formula. You have to buy three jugs to get the $25. I am only going to buy one jug and get $10 off. Not sure how much longer I will be keeping the Sierra. I need to switch to a smaller vehicle that will fit in my driveway. The...
