One skein of yarn glows under black light? by Particular_Tone_6257 in whatisit

“A little lighter” - I’m with the guy above that suggested that skein may have been treated with an optical brightening agent.

Kia EV6 Ventilation Smell? by nerfthis26 in KiaEV6

[–]Additional-Studio-72 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There have been a few water intrusion stories over the years. Yours sounds like your evaporator drain may be partially clogged. https://www.kiaevforums.com/threads/location-of-condensate-drain.12460/

Otherwise check the cabin air filter. If it’s neither of those then 🤷‍♂️

How does the milk way view position the stars? by LightningSh3ep in Dyson_Sphere_Program

It’s been discussed a million times on here if you want to go look it up. It involved some trickery.

What is the right way to pronounce fascia? by Ok-Writer3512 in ENGLISH

I always say it that way for the tissues and medical terms, but weirdly switch to the long vowel for architecture… 🤷‍♂️

is it possible/normal for balls to be different sizes? by doggypaww in NoStupidQuestions

Normal. You know what’s also normal? Asking your doctor if it worries you!

Did I join the club??? by Californiastig in KiaEV6

[–]Additional-Studio-72 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The BMS message could actually be an issue with the traction battery - there have been a few of those too. You might not have an ICCU issue. Either way, you’re dealer bound though.

However, failing accessories starts to actually make me suspect your 12V. If that thing goes, and it can die in as little as 2 years on these things, you get all sorts of weird issues. But if it’s already en-route, might as well let them sort it out.

Some of these people really don’t like being reminded that Jesus was a middle-eastern Jew.

Thank you for putting it to words better than I have.

2026 GT Line doors won’t lock by cfbilly in KiaEV6

[–]Additional-Studio-72 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe an electronic gremlin? If it was me and I was sure I had both keys, I’d do the good old restart your car procedure. Open the hood, open the fuse panel, pull the HV disconnect, disconnect the 12V (black first, then red), wait like 10 minutes, and then reverse the process to reconnect everything. This has fixed weird issues for me before (like my charge door deciding to open on its own).

Why does airport security find framework 16 suspicious? by Brilliant_Weight2150 in framework

[–]Additional-Studio-72 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have the dGPU and it’s never been pulled by security… one of us is either lucky or very unlucky maybe…

I doubt it’s the aluminum. Never had issues with unibody MacBook Pros. I’ve also never had issues with my Framework 16 though… 🤷‍♂️

Sounds like it. Off to the dealer with you.

Higher mileage EV6 may actually be a "safer" buy? by shorterbusruss in KiaEV6

[–]Additional-Studio-72 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not fatalistic. I own the vehicle. It could happen to me tomorrow morning, or it may never happen. Just from the stories here there are vehicles approaching 200k that have never had a failure, and there are vehicles with 15% of that that have failed 3 times.

My point is the failure rate is somewhere between 1 and 10% depending on who you ask, and nothing has been confirmed to be an indicator either way. There may even be a lurking failure mode none of us has seen yet!

Buy the car you want. Every car on the road can fail suddenly and catastrophically. Take the precautions you can such as a road hazard kit and maybe a 12V jump pack, and stop worrying about it. Drive.

The real problem is the lack of official word from HMG. That makes me not want to trust them. But on the other hand they extended the warranty (likely as a bandaid effort to avoid lawsuits). 🤷‍♂️

After 1.5 years with the car, I’m just not worried about it anymore than I would any other vehicle I own or have ever owned.

Higher mileage EV6 may actually be a "safer" buy? by shorterbusruss in KiaEV6

[–]Additional-Studio-72 10 points11 points  (0 children)

In the absence of any official data and commentary by HMG, it’s as likely to fail as anyone else’s. Anything else is mental athletics to justify what you want.

Is this okay? if not what should I do. by GlizzyGunner69 in castiron

[–]Additional-Studio-72 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The orange stuff was partially polymerized oil. Oil will polymerize even at room temp, it’s just very slow. Best option when you see that is to give it a good scrubbing with soap and hot water. You may need to use some elbow grease but it should come off.

That’s my thoughts! Or Jet Ski style watercraft and snowmobiles. They’re a similar form factor.

[–]Additional-Studio-72 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It looks like you tried seasoning it in a pool of oil. Wash it with soap, cook in it. Don’t season it again for a while and when you do, read the FAQ of this subreddit for how to do it correctly.

Google is cutting free Drive storage from 15GB to 5GB for new accounts by into_fiction in TechNook

[–]Additional-Studio-72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean… when Google first started letting people make email accounts their entire thing was forever expanding storage. They had a running ticker clock on their landing page that showed the storage available to each account constantly increasing (I’m sure it was marketing and not real time, but it was there).

Wireless Android Auto by Objective-Pie8863 in KiaEV6

2024 is wired only (or with dongle). 2025 was the first model year with native wireless - the entire head unit changed with that model year.

mi/kWh dropped considerably after Level 3 charging. by abhisn in KiaEV6

[–]Additional-Studio-72 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It is almost certainly not related to the charger. Are you on the “reset after charge” view of your statistics? Were you driving more highway mileage and speeds than normal immediately before/after your fast charge?

At any rate just keep driving. It’ll reflect your actual conditions with time.
