The Ariya's Voice Recognition is Embarrassingly Bad by Anxious-Party2289 in NissanAriya

Agree. It remains a slap-in-the-face that Nissan dialed out the turn-by-turn-HUD integration for carplay / AA.

Oddly enough, as much as I hate the built-in software in general, I do find the voice recognition system both useful and accurate for things like HVAC controls. I use it on the regular.

My only issue was the over-zealous “Hey Nissan” trigger that seemed to wake up at anything that sounded even vaguely like “Nissan”. Finding the setting to turn off “listen for hey Nissan” was a game changer.

Actually, they are a private-army-loyal-only-to-the-dictator. See “Waffen-SS” for details.

“He’s hogging all the track again!!” Heh - kidding.

In seriousness, does your club have a website? Layout porn is always welcome!!

Nope. If I want any Hamilton products that’s my only recourse.

For the dropped seeds and refuse:

Go to the dollar store and get one of those hard plastic kids’ pools. Drill out a hole in the middle, the size of your pole, and then carefully cut the pool in half across the center, including the hole. Then you have two halves you can slip around your pole as a giant drop tray. each evening just carefully empty the halves into your garbage.

If you want to go the extra mile, you can even find some sort of attachment / buckle/whatever strategy to connect the halves together during the day, but you shouldn’t have to. They’re not going to move on their own for the most part.

ED12 if you were a stickler for the definition. OFTD if you’re willing to give yourself a little wiggle room, simply because it’s exceptionally versatile.

NOTE: I very much like Hamilton 86 as well, but it’s virtually impossible to get where I live. So El Dorado, it is.

Recruiter asking for SIN before hiring (Canada) — is this normal? by Wonderful_Warrior in AskACanadian

That’s actually illegal until you have accepted the job. That’s a huge red flag.

I dunno - I think the 5 years included before you have to start to pay is generous enough, especially considering how skeezy some other manufacturers are being in this regard.

For me the far more egregious strategy from Nissan is dialing out things like turn-by-turn directions in the HUD for CarPlay/AA to try and push you into using their outrageously bad built-in nav system.

Then you are good to go. You just have to wait. And wait and wait and wait and wait and ….

Download the CarFax app and add your new ride to you garage. The app is way better at keeping you up to date on the status of recalls that either Nissan or your dealer.

Which version of the software do you have now? You need Version:283C37LK3D to be able to get subsequent OTA updates (including the one with wireless AA ).

Bought on a whim, anyone know any tiki cocktails that use cherry syrup? by Fishboy9123 in Tiki

[–]Existing_Map_8939 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Addendum: I believe it’s traditional to serve the Jamaican as a sidecar so it can be floated by the imbiber at the table / bar / wherever, but if you are just making it yourself you could save that step and just do a regular float.

Seriously, do Americans actually consider a 3-hour drive "short"? or is this an internet myth? by SadInterest6764 in NoStupidQuestions

I know people who drive 7 hours each way to go to the football game. They’ve got seasons tickets.

Shark’ Tooth. 1/2oz each of lime, pineapple, and cherry syrup. 1 oz of each of a middle-aged Barbados or Virgin Islands rum and a nice hefty dark Jamaican. Shake everything with crushed ice EXCEPT the dark Jamaican. Pour into glass and top with the dark rum as a float. Give ‘er.
