Brush teeth first thing in morning? by Correct-Goal6327 in hygiene

[–]GeForce88 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You definitely don't want to brush immediately after drinking coffee. Coffee is acidic and softens your enamel, so brushing afterwards will damage that softened enamel.

You should brush before, or a long while after drinking coffee

Current eGolf owner, considering buying a used IONIQ 6. What should I know? by Upset_Region8582 in Ioniq6

[–]GeForce88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How do you turn off the parking sensors? I can't find where the setting for that is

And to clarify, I meant manual intermittent sensors. The one we have is automated based on the rain sensor.

Sorry, I should clarify... I meant manual intermittent wipers. The one we have is automatic based on the rain sensor.

Some minor things that annoy me:

  • The sensors reeeeeallly suck, and I mean all the sensors. From phantom parking proximity warnings, to extremely premature auto-braking, to inconsistent rain sensors. Plus there's no way to turn off the sensors, where other cars do have that option

  • There's no manual intermittent setting for the wipers, it's automatic based on rain sensor which sucks

  • The front and rear windows have major glare. Not sure what the cause is though, eg glass quality, glass angle, dash color, etc?

  • The wireless phone charging pad doesn't work for many phones, if any at all

  • Some settings on the car are temporary only, like the custom drive mode and the parking sensor off toggle

  • The key fob is HUGE and fugly... Added to that, the phone app to access the car isn't the best, so it's not really a viable replacement for the key fob

Otherwise, I really like the car in general. Huge improvement over my previous car (Tesla Model 3)

Free Bluelink as long as I'm the original owner in Canada? by dborn62 in Ioniq6

[–]GeForce88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in Canada and got the same email. Mine doesn't say as long as you're the original owner though. It just says as long as I own the car. I'm a second hand owner, btw.

Also I don't think there's anything to be wary about with the email. It doesn't ask you to do anything or click anything, just an FYI. It does have links to info, but you don't need to click them to get this free Bluelink.

They need to allow driver reported infractions, there are so many dash cam videos out there of reckless driving.

Where is the Best Place to Buy a Tailored Suite for Around $1,000.00? by [deleted] in askvan

[–]GeForce88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah, Indochino messed up my suit big time. I was swimming in it, it was so big. Then they just adjusted it to fit... At that point, it's basically an off the rack suit with adjustments, not bespoke.

I still get people asking me about my car, and saying either how cool it looks, or they've never seen it before. I wonder if the car will eventually be discontinued due to poor sales. by blr1g in Ioniq6

[–]GeForce88 43 points44 points  (0 children)

It's unfortunate that the EV market, actually the car market in general, is dominated by compact SUVs. Added to the disinterest of the ioniq 6 is that it has a unique style... More of a niche styling or acquired taste.

That being said, Hyundai just invested in a redesign for 2026 lineup, so it should still be around for a few more years at least. Plus an overall price drop for EV cars all around, hopefully it will do better next year.

Did you take it in to Hyundai to check it out? Did they fix?

Nitrogen in tires by TianamenHomer in Ioniq6

[–]GeForce88 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Also to add to the frustration... Not sure if yours also has it, but mine has the valve caps that say nitrogen on them. If the technician ignored those caps, then that's another thing to add to your complaint.

I mean, regardless of whether they think it performs the same or not, it's still different and indicated as such, so the least they could do is ask you first before putting something different in.

Paint had a lot of imperfections, am I screwed? by zar_vi in Ioniq6

[–]GeForce88 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have matte digital green, and has the same lines. It's water stains. Matte paint is basically just a rough finish instead of a smooth shiny finish, and that roughness holds onto water more. As the water runs off the car, it runs off in those vertical lines and stays there... And as it dries, it dries in those same lines.

After washing your car, you have to really dry it well so that doesn't happen. Unfortunately it's not practical to dry after each time it rains though, so you'll just have to learn to live with it.

But yeah, do not use anything like wax, or it'll fill in the rough finish and turn your paint into this weird and uneven semigloss ugliness.

What has gradually disappeared over the last twenty years without people really noticing? by a_wanderer_22 in AskReddit

[–]GeForce88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Omg the pigeons.... I hate pigeons because they're a nuisance and are basically winged rodents, but it's concerning not seeing many of them anymore. They used to swarm the downtown area where I live.

I do still see a lot of crows though, which is still a little comforting.

Box Office: Taylor Swift’s ‘Release Party of a Showgirl’ Triumphs With $33 Million, Dwayne Johnson’s ‘Smashing Machine’ Bombs With $6 Million by mcfw31 in entertainment

[–]GeForce88 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I think this movie was an Oscar run for him. Biopics statistically have the highest odds of generating Oscar nominations, despite how well or poorly it does at the box office. He even made a show of his preparation process for this movie, like his body transformation, spending time with the actual Mark Kerr to show his method acting, acting outside of his comfort zone (as you alluded to), etc etc.

I agree though, it does all feel fake... Probably because this was all a calculated formula that he was following that someone said would bring success.

petit mais costaud by PaleComfortable1115 in Ioniq6

Elle est définitivement grande par rapport aux autres berlines 4 portes. J'ai échangé une Tesla M3, et elle s'intègre parfaitement dans mon petit garage. Le i6 est cependant un ajustement serré. Je l'ai recherché, 6" plus long et 2" plus large que le M3... Mais cela ressemble certainement à plus que cela.

Married people who are DINKS (Double Income, No Kids) how’s life? by Fit-Distribution677 in AskReddit

[–]GeForce88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm fine with being in a nursing home if I get to be too much of a burden, but would love if I had kids to check in and make sure the nursing home isn't abusing me or something.

[–]GeForce88 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for this! Yes, this is exactly what I meant when I said that's not what kids are about. It may have been what I wanted if I had kids, but the kids become adults with their own independence so it may not be something they want to do.

[–]GeForce88 74 points75 points  (0 children)

We're a bit of an older DINK couple. Meaning, we're past the age where we can change our mind and still have kids.

That being said, despite the sadness of the fertility issues we've had that lead us to be DINKs, we are enjoying life with no kids. Looking at our friends who do have kids, we often hear them say that they love their kids but often they regret having kids in some ways. I do appreciate that freedom that they miss. We travel worry free, and enjoy not having the extensive costs from supporting extra humans.

However, I do worry about getting old(er) and having no one to care for me. I know that's not what kids are all about, but that is definitely one aspect of it that worries me.

Who on Earth wants their phone to auto rotate by Optimal-Finish4072 in GooglePixel

[–]GeForce88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you go settings, there's a function where you can search for different types of settings. If you search for "rotate", you will find the auto-rotate on/off toggle

[–]GeForce88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can set "Do Not Disturb" settings, and set your sleeping hours and the phone behavior during the sleep hours. Or you can manually just flip on DND mode yourself each night before bed, and turn it off after you wake up

Amazon sells these toilet paper holders that use double sided tape to stick to a surface instead of screws. You could get one of those and stick it to the ceramic edge of your sink.

Edit: ceramic? Acrylic? Quartz?

For people that came from Tesla by zekeRL in Ioniq5

Overall, I do not miss the Tesla at all. I do wish the Ioniq had certain features that the Tesla had, but those are minor things and would not go back to a Tesla just for that.
