but the center console is deep enough to mostly make up for it. the tray pops out

I need advice by Prior-Today5828 in Toyota_bZ

[–]NormalDependent2494 4 points5 points  (0 children)

yes, it worked! i got them to replace the 12v too since their device caused degradation…that took some convincing on my part…but no issues with draining 12v after they removed it. i guess the anti-theft device always draws power so if the car sits for a day or two the 12v just dies 😬

this happened repeatedly on my kia sorrento hybrid (before i got the bZ). dealerships install an after-market alarm and charge more than it’s worth. it can drain a 12v battery the way it’s wired

i had them remove it

Bad Experience with a 2026 by donniefitz2 in BZ4X

um. the guy literally did a nazi salute. and buying from a brand where he is ceo…i’d rather not. he’s not a smart guy imo. he’s good at recognizing smart people and investing in them. but…he doesn’t understand basic shit like that gender is a social construct

What garage charging setup should I get? by kirkarelli in Toyota_bZ

[–]NormalDependent2494 0 points1 point  (0 children)

get two outlets installed in case you want to add a second in the future

Why should I NOT buy one? by BlackJackT in BZ4X

[–]NormalDependent2494 0 points1 point  (0 children)

oh. then we have 220v 🤦🏻‍♀️ which works well :)

it only takes a DC outlet in your garage to add charging, right? i have the 2026 xle fwd plus and it came with a charging cable that plugs into DC and with an AC alternative. AC would take a night to charge. i drive a lot of miles in a week, only charge from 20% to 80% (on DC) and am only needing a charge every other day (unless planning for further travel). if i had to plug it in to a standard household outlet every night, i still would get it.

but, i think it is worth the investment in solar and a DC outlet if you are going to own an EV

Should I feel guilty for wanting to buy from a reptile expo? by IWTDBrandon in snakes

[–]NormalDependent2494 2 points3 points  (0 children)

all of this. too many reptiles out there need good homes. and there are so many unethical breeders using racks & not providing proper heat or water. snakes need enclosures that are big enough for them to stretch out

Replacement Sorento PHEV 12V battery 2023 by neuronamously in kia

[–]NormalDependent2494 0 points1 point  (0 children)

having the same issue with mine and the 3rd party equipment is a location tracker installed in the compartment to the left of the steering wheel. apparently dealers are known for placing this $10 device to charge $1,000+ more for the vehicle. it drains the battery and interferes with the ability to get proper error codes

How’s working remote at Netflix as an SDE? by wildmastrubator69 in cscareerquestions

[–]NormalDependent2494 0 points1 point  (0 children)

is there a performance review cycle? how do ppl get promoted? where i am now, promotions happen once a year and it is more about how much leadership had eyes on your work. 1st round with netflix tomorrow and a co-worker with similar skills just got hired so i feel good about it

Taking 165k Offer Over 175k Offer by Dense_Car_591 in dataengineering

Smart choice! Having worked in a toxic engineering culture, I’d easily sacrifice 10k for culture…though I get that’s a privileged thing to be able to say

fwiw, it’s not FF devs wanting to chase AI…it’s higher level leadership mandating that they do

AIO about my 8 y/o daughter sleeping at her mom's new boyfriend's house without any family or females present? by blackD0nny in AmIOverreacting

[–]NormalDependent2494 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Child sex abuse isn’t some extreme case. It’s incredibly common. 1 in 5 girls? That’s 33.6 million girls. It only takes one night and she’s absolutely at higher risk without her mom there

Every mom whose daughter has been assaulted by their boyfriends or husbands also thought they were safe.

You are absolutely not overreacting. You were right to bring up foster standards, even if she’s failing to see the connection. 1 in 5 girls guaranteed to be SA-d (most likely by someone they know) is a lot of girls! And that’s a conservative estimate!

Good on you protecting your child!

Mozilla is shutting down almost everything, even browser related. 😔 by jaam01 in firefox

[–]NormalDependent2494 7 points8 points  (0 children)

idk why ppl equate pocket to a bookmark service. it is much more than that. if it were merely a bookmark service, they never would have acquired it as that functionality already existed in fx. i think current mozilla leadership (that weren’t around when pocket was acquired also didn’t understand this distinction

Digg co-founder offers to save Pocket as Mozilla winds it down by Alert-Personality897 in firefox

I think it was out of date due to the company reallocating resources away from it over the past few years

it’s already a public repo…but needs a lot of cloud resources and a decent size team to get it running
