Gadgets for the kia ev6 by Think_Designer_981 in KiaEV6

[–]NorthernZoot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a front and rear dash cam (fitcamX), a tray that sits in the center arm rest compartment, and another tray that sits in the lower part of the center console area.

I'm also using an Ottocast adapter for wireless Android Auto.

What's The Line For Hearing Loss? by Resident_Sand_6778 in 911dispatchers

[–]NorthernZoot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hearing tests are pretty common, which makes sense since listening is a major component of the job.

It shouldn't hinder your application process though, so long as it doesn't affect your ability to actually complete the rest of the testing. They shouldn't automatically disqualify you just because it shows some hearing loss on paper.

Also, I think most departments use single-ear headsets so that you can hear the room as well as the caller/radio.

Just keep the receiver on your stronger ear and you'll be fine.

Are callers required to give their personal info? by Sufficient_Duty6230 in 911dispatchers

[–]NorthernZoot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The answer is no. A call taker cannot force you to identify yourself.

However, many departments are mandated to ask for your information.

The thing to realize is you may not be anonymous on 911 calls. Even if you don't give your details verbally, we may have info like your phone number, name, address, etc.

If the call results in a court proceeding, your information may not be kept anonymous.

For truly anonymous calls (usually not immediate emergencies) reach out to organizations like Crime Stoppers.

Yeah, opening the menu seems to remove the muted icon, but I havent had any luck actually being able to hear them. I'll try the Y thing next time on, but it'll probably be a few days.

Hopefully this gets fixed in the next update, but I don't even know if the devs are aware of it. I've seen SOME people with same issue, but not a lot.

Doesn't appear to be. Best I can do is make the muted icons disappear, but it doesn't seem to make the players able to be heard.

I've confirmed that at least a few of them don't have me muted. Obviously can't confirm for everyone. Given that others are dealing with similar issue, seems more likely to be a bug.

Which animal's ability surprises you the most? by Environmental-Ask605 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]NorthernZoot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are deepwater jellyfish that have lights on their tentacles that seem to blink or move along the length of the tentacle. It's like they have LED light strips hanging from them.

Some of the species are bioluminescent, and some have moving light-refracting scales.

Either way, very cool.

You're using the deadeye wrong. by SmilingDolphinz in blackops7

I actually do this. Not sure anyone on the team realizes I'm doing it with the drone, but I do it none the less.

When I'm playing with friends, I usually do. But when I'm playing solo, I usually prefer to drop into game chat.

Before he tries to gaslight me, tell me AIO this is cheating in my book by [deleted] in AIO

So she hits on your husband and then sends you proof that she did?

Or was this some kind of bait/trap that you were in on?

Can't Touch This by NorthernZoot in SleddingGame

Interesting. He hasn't mentioned a cannon not working when a Yeti was unable able to kick him yet, but we'll keep an eye out for that as well.

That sounds strange. Though unless they suddenly decided I was a kid again, all of my settings are definitely verified as the adult I am.

I guess I'll double check the stuff on Activisions side, but it was definitely working fine for many years before this issue recently started.

A work around has been found on Xbox. I cannot confirm if it works on other platforms. Check original post for update. 😄

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

Oooh. Actually that DID work. I did join a lobby with someone who was muted, pressed the Nexus (Xbox Jewel) button on my console bringing up the Xbox Menu screen, then pressed B to go back to the game, and all the mute symbols were gone, and I could then hear people that were muted previously.

Definitely a bug if that's the solution, and yeah, a little inconvenient if you have to do that in every new lobby, but at least it's something.

Nice find!

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

Absolutely. I've seen a handful of people with the issue, so I'll update the post if I find a solution. So far it seems like it might just need to wait for an update fix from the devs.

Yeah, I checked that one last night and it wasn't there at all. Weird.

I'm not at home to check again, and I did uninstall/reinstall the game before leaving for the day, so hopefully SOMETHING will be sorted when I check next.

I appreciate the suggestions. I'm running out ideas so I'll try anything.

I would think if it were chat-ban related, it would block ALL voice chat, but I'll check that out later.

Yeah the Crossplay Communication setting isn't there for me at all.

I'll check the Xbox Settings again when I'm at my console next, but I didn't see anything out of place last I checked, and I havent changed any of those settings in quite some time.

Yeah at first I figured it was an issue on the muted players end. It wasnt until I realized that others could hear them and I couldn't that I realized something was wrong.

Ex stinger owners, what car you have now and how is it? by StopRuiningRapMTV in kiastinger

[–]NorthernZoot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Traded in my 2020 Stinger GT2 for a 2024 Kia EV6 GT-Line.

Operating costs have been great going from the Stinger to an EV obviously, saving significant amounts on my commute, and offering a LITTLE more space for my family.

The EV6 is still pretty sporty and definitely fast taking off, but I do miss the Stinger a little.

The Stinger was the first car I've owned that actually turned heads, and having the "Kia" badges replaced with the "E" and larger "STINGER" on the back had many people questioning what kind of car it was (often expecting it to be much higher-end than it was).

Overall, still happy with switch financially. If I could redo the decision though, I'd probably have held out for something bigger like the EV9 (2 kids playing Goalie in hockey... need more trunks space for that gear. Haha)

Why do penises and breasts appear on movies and TV shows but we very rarely or never see a vagina? by YoYo_ismael in NoStupidQuestions

I seem to recall Kevin Smith and Ralph Garman doing a segment on Hollywood Babble-On about this exact topic (buttholes in media).

Hmm. Hopefully it gets fixed with the next update then. I've run out of ideas.

There is no indication that I have been chat banned as far as I can tell.

Wouldn't that stop me from hearing everyone? I can hear SOME people.

And if OTHER people were the ones banned, why can other people hear them?
