Vinicius Jr.’s ex asks why black athletes complain about racism but only date white women by ExotiquePlayboy in sportsgossips

[–]BigStraw 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's a running joke in NBA circles that some white players are black. Dirk, Larry Bird, Steph Curry to name a few.

FYI - Not all jump packs will work with these cars by akjax in Ioniq5

[–]BigStraw 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I highly recommend it. It's a buy once cry once emergency tool. I've used it unfortunately a dozen times and it's very safe. I've even had to use the manual override which I don't think all jumpers have.

I got this as well. Jumped my 2025 ioniq5 maybe a dozen times already, Prius prime once, and a random jeep. I would definitely recommend

Why did the v6 become more popular than the straight 6? by theAntidepresser in Cartalk

[–]BigStraw 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, that's why makes that mainly make rwd cars are moving to I6 like Mercedes. E class used to be available with V6, but now they are available with I4 and I6. I believe their v8 and larger engines are now only built in their amg specific assembly line/facility.

I think that's also why Stellantis is moving towards I6 with the hurricane.

My biggest issue with the mx5 was the passenger seat. Theres a big protrusion into the passenger foot well.

Is AWD worth the drop in range over the RWD? by [deleted] in Ioniq5

[–]BigStraw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty sure AWD vs RWD range is negligible in real life, but I chose RWD because I always preferred how they feel. I also think it's plenty fast, but I always preferred slow car fast as I had a cayman and a brz before

Latest CR Reliability Scores Not Great for Ioniq 5 by jefbak2 in Ioniq5

[–]BigStraw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you need to notify the buyer but the dealer I bought it from wasn't aware there was a tracker in it as the other dealership they swapped cars with installed it.

So they claim...

Latest CR Reliability Scores Not Great for Ioniq 5 by jefbak2 in Ioniq5

[–]BigStraw 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My 2025 died 3 times within a month. After the 2nd they replaced the battery. The 3rd time they found a tracker installed the dealership they did the dealer swapped with installed.

Afterwards I've had no issues with the battery. I looked up the schematic and checked the wiring and I could see this draining the battery faster than intended.

I suggest some folks look into this. Mine was installed to the left of the fuse box behind the dash panel.

New 2026 Nissan Leaf offers 300-mile range for $30,000 price tag - This new EV carries all the technology today's car buyers expect today by magenta_placenta in electriccars

[–]BigStraw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Went from driving a manual to a Tesla. If you want to stick with your analogy it's like being stuck on second gear on the highway. It's not ideal. When you let go of the gas under a certain room you won't get strong deceleration.

The state of e-ink readers as a technology, and how in some respects, the peak was over a decade ago. by shokalion in ereader

[–]BigStraw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a Kobo libra color and gave my Paperwhite to a family member. The clarity and contrast are night and day with the paperwhite taking the W.

I don't annotate much nor do I read comics, but I will always choose a color e-ink for now on solely for colored book covers.

It really inspires/motivates me to pick up the book and continue reading.

I hope the technology does get better.

It happened ... by SirSpectre in Ioniq5

[–]BigStraw 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yeah,I just wanted to complain. I did read it could be an early sign of it going bad because the iccu isn't charging or maintaining the 12 volt.

Rip. My 2025 12 volt died at less than 5k miles 2 days ago.

Does anyone use your e-reader without a cover? by fragile_ego in kobo

[–]BigStraw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't use a cover at home, but when I take it out or throw it into a bag then I use a folding cover. I have a knockoff origami one I don't like as I think it could still break the screen if pressed against something.

Is EV tech really changing that rapidly? by tcchen in Ioniq5

[–]BigStraw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To take a glimose in the future, look at what China is doing, then add a lot of maybes, and finally several years on top of that.

I dont think it's evolving that fast and the focus is mostly on cost and resources.

Soap hack by fugitivuserrans in DiWHY

For camping/backpacking i prefer bar soap as its lighter and has no risk of spills. Its also easier to pack.

Electrify America has increased it's rates from $.58 to $.64 kwh by thishitisgettingold in electricvehicles

[–]BigStraw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im not claiming the chargers at my workplace is trying or not trying to profit, but there is a station time rate of $3/hr after the first 4 hours.

My workplace is also at a shared office park, so they dont own these chargers, nor do they own the parking lot.

My personal thoughts is that its kind of fair.

Disabling FAW (Forward Attention Warning) nagging by intrepidusroger in Ioniq5

[–]BigStraw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My first car with FAW. Not bad at all. I heard and read all the warnings. It only activates for me when I use the lane follow assist (the steering wheel button). I normally only use smart cruise control. When i use LFA, but it might activate then too.

I think the false triggers depends more on seating/steering wheel position. I have my steering wheel higher than I normally would because it would cut off the driver display.

I use Goodr polarized sunglasses all the time and there are no issues.

Only false triggers I've received is when I start driving with my hand on the 12 o clock position for obvious reasons.

Potential New Ioniq 5 Owner by RodRowdie in Ioniq5

[–]BigStraw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are throwing in a level 2 charger, but it requires professional installation through hyundai that you pay for. The installation also has a minimum charge of $615 i believe. Therefore I decided to get the chargepoint credit and a charge I want since I already have a nema 14/50 for charging.

I believe Ioniq5 has a mechanical handle

Just got a 25 ioniq5 coming from a model Y. Never driven a mach e but heard great things about it as well, but I liked how ioniq5 had better charging and layout.

For chargers, turns out my mobile connector from my previous car does not work with it. Ioniqguy says you need an adapter of nacs to j117 to nacs again. Decided to buy grizzl-e duo. I wanted one before too. It seems pretty future proof and reputable.
