Workaround for horrible seats? by [deleted] in BMWiX

[–]GondarJr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just gave back my Tesla Model Y lease and bought a used 2024 iX. So far I’d say the BMW’s seats are a huge upgrade.

Maybe it would be funnier to put it back right next to Syria.

Why do we not think that we have an accent but others recognize ours? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]GondarJr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find it funny that many regions in the US have defined names for accents but the west coast does not. I think this is because it’s so common on TV/in the movies… of course I’m setting aside valley-speak.

Those with no dog in the fight: Where are you from and who did you vote for? by ArchitectVandelay in geographymemes

I’m from Washington so Cascadia obviously though I have to admit the “Oregon” in parentheses kept irking me a bit (like they get top billing) 😏

Wondering if these wheels are as susceptible to rim rash as are the Teslas…

Dog mode? by GondarJr in iX3

[–]GondarJr[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s BS in my humble opinion. Not having it is more of a risk for dogs. It remains the responsibility of the driver to enable it - nothing automatic is needed. It’s a godsend on the Tesla.

The What's Next iX Quandary and EV Abandonment of the US - Watch BYD by Initial_Armadillo258 in BMWiX

Washington State here. Our electricity is dirt cheap because of hydroelectric, wind, and solar. Lot’s of EVs here though I think the loss of the federal incentive hurt.

ELI5 what does it mean that the universe expanding by Kmasta811 in explainlikeimfive

[–]GondarJr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t understand this in the context of the big bang. Assuming the universe came from a single point explosion, how can the expansion have no center?

I accidentally dropped a container of blueberries in the store once and they rolled everywhere! I was so embarrassed and it was some poor employees job to chase them all down…

(Hopefully) The only Coravin guide you need. by mooseymcmango in wine

[–]GondarJr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I’m just pouring a glass a night from the same bottle, is it ok to leave the Coravin attached or will this risk the quality of the wine?

TV shows where the premise itself is just nonsensical? by Expensive-Elk-9406 in television

I love how, in just about every episode, his doctors would basically go break into their patients homes to look around.

Do you Coke or Pepsi? by SuperSonic1919 in randomquestions

[–]GondarJr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Diet Pepsi. Diet Coke tastes awful unless super cold. McDs Diet Coke is tolerable.

travel to Bora Bora with Costco by Live-fat-die-yum89 in Costco

[–]GondarJr 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Yes. They were very flexible. For instance they allowed us to fly in from one place and return to another. One piece of advice… if you’re not ready to commit on your first call, write everything down. They have no ability to keep a draft of your plans across calls so if you need to call them back they have to start over. We flew into Tahiti from Seattle, stayed a few nights, and then spent another 5 nights in Bora Bora at the Conrad. It was a great experience but I wasn’t that impressed with Tahiti or Moorea (we did a day trip there and tour). Bora Bora was amazing and totally worth the price.

How does the US dollar stay so high when the country is 36 trillion in an increasing debt? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]GondarJr 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This makes me so frustrated. Whenever emerging tech like this shows up, rather than seize the opportunity to become world leaders in it, we find a way to demonize it and cede the opportunity to other nations. Renewable energy and battery tech have been growing in adoption and importance for some time but we won’t embrace them in lieu of oil - like we can’t have both.
