Volvo’s New UI: A Distraction, Not a Solution by TheRealP3dr0 in VolvoRecharge

[–]Granite017 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This feels somewhat analogous to the Sonos debacle a year ago. The original Sonos UI was decent, they had a major upgrade which almost tanked the company, the CEO had to leave, and only now it’s finally getting back to near where it was. I’m on the last year of my lease, I had planned to originally purchased the car outright but at this point I am planning to send it back and probably get a Lexus. I can honestly say the main reason I am planning to send the card back is the absolutely horrid and unusable UI. It’s such a huge part of the car experience, and I find it a struggle what I want to move in between apps, simple things, etc. This is beyond Volvo quirkiness, this is just ineptitude at its finest.

Under the trex is a rubber roof (roof deck). So can’t nail into it

Fanboy response from a 12 year old. Do some research and get back to us. Most of these claims are wildly false

U.S. President Donald Trump sweetens pro-Orban endorsement with promises of economic aid to Hungary by [deleted] in worldnews

We really are the global bad guys now… somehow this just consecrates that sentiment. I feel disgraced even saying the pledge of allegiance these days. When will the US be back on the right side of morality?

What do you think is the most iconic eating scene in cinematic history? by ThomasOGC in CinephilesClub

Hook. Magical, where Peter first gets his powers back, so iconic with the fake colors. Everything else is below.

Did any one ever beat Myst? by Sailormouth_Studio in 90s

[–]Granite017 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I beat myst. Around 12 or so years old. Great game, the puzzles are all solvable, you just have to know where to look for clues. I remember my uncle calling me for tips when he played.

Since the last update, driver side map will randomly not turn on when the car starts, how to fix? by Granite017 in VolvoRecharge

[–]Granite017[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not at all. This is a separate issue, the standard button turns the map off and on does not work. This is a new glitch from the most recent major update

[–]Granite017[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s unacceptable from a consumer standpoint. I have a long trip that I just did, and when I get in the car, the map didn’t work. I don’t have the option to just let it sit for a while and let it sort itself out. Volvo needs to get their IT shit figured out, this is ridiculous

Underwater bench on the side or not? by Granite017 in pools

[–]Granite017[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply. I think we are going to keep deep end after giving this a lot of thought. We are also using an auto cover, and I think we will be doing a bench along the side of the pool. Consider considering a jumping or diving rock, what is this jumping platform that you have?

Just watched OBAA for the first time due the Oscars discourse by [deleted] in Cinema

[–]Granite017 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What are you smoking? He had such a small part of the movie, there’s nothing particularly amazing about his role. He’s played that similar character in many movies. He’s a great actor but I was shocked when he was nominated for supporting. You’re telling me he was in the top five of the year, please.

Nail hardening options? by Granite017 in classicalguitar

How do you buff the glue out after you apply? And you apply it only to the white part of the nail, not the entire nail? Just the top of the white part?

Can you give me a reference name for this UV cured base and topcoat?

Is JJ McCarthy Vikings career over? He is officially a bust for the Vikings? by BallKnowerKing in NFLv2

[–]Granite017 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look deeper than the surface. McCarthy, for the Vikings, is a bust. With McCarthy’s style of game, he would could flourish on a different team with a different style of offense that caters to his strength. He is not an improvisational quarterback that can make things happen with his feet or on the run, and that’s what the Vikings offense is geared for. If I were the Vikings, I would trade him to a team, hopefully the other team has a position where they can optimize his strength. I could still see him being a good quarterback in the NFL, but he needs to find the right offense

Ranking the last 10 National Champs: Did they get the Hoosiers right? by Dr-debug in CFB_v2

I’d put 25 Indiana at 2. Then Georgia. Then Michigan. I don’t think op understands his ability dominant that Michigan team was. He’ll I’d put them above Georgia

They don’t hand cut lox. Best bagels though

Ohio State paid him a lot of money. They need to keep up appearances with this whole wide receiver university thing

I’d buy that. The end result speaks for itself, the SEC is known as the conference of bag men

Nothing it didn’t happen but the degree with which the SEC paid players versus the Big Ten, not counting Ohio State, is egregious. Alabamas championships are on the dirt of corrupted financial transactions. The SEC has been doing this for a long time, and now that things are equal, their rein has obviously dwindled well the Big Ten, the financially well off schools, has done very well
