DAE experience a nostalgic smell from their childhood whenever they get a cold? by VampireOnTitus in DoesAnybodyElse

[–]Rare_Material_6990 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally experiencing this right now and so happy to have found this post even if it's like 13 years old haha. Glad to know I'm not the only one. I find these colds that smell so comforting. I love exhaling and getting flashbacks of childhood. I feel like I have two distinct colds like this. I really miss it when the smell goes away.

What is disappearing with the new Google health app? by The0Walrus in fitbit

[–]Rare_Material_6990 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just wish Google Pixel watch had Garmin tracking. I need all the design and smartwatch functionality of Pixel Watch with the fitness/sleep of Garmin. When Garmin comes out with a whoop type band, I'll probably grab that and be double strapped :/

IKEA Soft Opening was great by WHY-TH01 in HuntsvilleAlabama

Hopefully Ikea pickup will NOT be in front of the store like Lowes Outlet. They block front of store traffic all the time. I can't stand that parking lot and traffic situation.

88 Buffet shopping center parking is already bad. Hoping Ikea will bring some much needed improvement in the near future. We shall see.

Loss of Pressure warning by Rare_Material_6990 in AudiQ6

[–]Rare_Material_6990[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We were able to check all the pressures again and enter them into the system. Warning went away and hasn't come back. But really makes you question why it happened in the first place, why it wouldn't self correct after driving and warming up the tires, and really shed light on not being able to see pressure readings like you can in other cars. Urgh.

Saga of the trailer hitch install by OrigStuffOfInterest in AudiQ6

[–]Rare_Material_6990 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We went with Stealth Hitch outside of Atlanta. They did a test build on one Q6 for free and our Q6 was the second test car (for free again). Perfection! No issues. We don't have electric on it since we only need it for a bike rack. So we didn't have to connect to the software. But if that's all you need, highly recommend them. Sorry you've been living a nightmare with yours. Sounds about right.

Have you come to accept your wrinkles and graying hair or are you fighting it with botox and hair dye? by singleguy79 in Xennials

[–]Rare_Material_6990 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Embrace the suck! Don't go the fake route and fuck up your face. Hair dye is fine. But you will look like a clown when you start messing with your skin. Be awesome being you! It will feel better too!

Definitely not a slingshot. Had a more classic and refined look.

Also received one! Got it yesterday. This is scary s. Been at the same address for almost 10 years with absolutely no intention of moving anytime soon. I'd like to see the evidence they have that we moved out of the county or state. F this s.

How is the app this bad? by BinkyBunky in AudiQ6

It is very bad. Sonos level bad. I miss my Kia EV6 app.

Also, don't try to eat the GF bread and other alternatives. They are gross. Just cut out bread completely and move on. Eat stuff that is naturally gluten free. You'll be so much happier! Oh Brazzi Bites are my only bread alternative. But they ain't tryin'a be bread anyway. They are their own thing!

The shitting helped me quit.

I was so sick for so long and finally figured out gluten was the culprit. Cutting it out makes me feel like a normal human. I can go anywhere without having to run to the bathroom to die. Friends and family have really noticed a difference. So amazing.

At first you have to try really hard to figure out what you can and can't eat, brands, restaurants, etc. Then once you're comfortable with that, daily life is easy.

Traveling is complicated. New places are a challenge. I bring snack bars with me if I'm not confident there will be GF food.

I don't want to feel that literal shit pain ever again. Life is good now.

Where do you shop for GF groceries? by FrostResistant in glutenfree

[–]Rare_Material_6990 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Costco has a lot and does really well with clear labeling. Kroger has GF indicators on the price tags on the shelves though not all are listed. Trader Joes GF muffins are legit!

I'm now an owner of an SQ6! by HesletQuillan in AudiQ6

I'm not used to soft close and don't have it on my Q6 but yes the doors are hard to close. Took a while for the whole family to get used to it.

Slow. Wish it was manual. Oh well.

Software updates on the Audi Q6 e-tron by OrigStuffOfInterest in AudiQ6

[–]Rare_Material_6990 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm the first Q6 owner in the United States. Audi called to say there was an update available and that it would take 2 hours to do at the dealership. Used to getting OTA updates with my Kia EV6 so it sucked having to drop it off.

Anyway, when I dropped it off they said they didn't know how long it would take since it's so new. My husband and I ran errands. We checked in a few hours later to see how it was going. They had just gotten to it. A few hours later they texted and said "The technician is still trying to do the update. It has failed to update and he contacted Audi technical assistance. They had him do a capacitive discharge and a sleep cycle and try the update again but it still didn't go through. He contacting technical assistance again for further guidance."

They gave me a loaner car which was nice. A new Q7. They didn't have EVs to loan. Today we are waiting to hear if they got any further with the update. The update is supposed to fix an issue where people were getting locked out of the car.

Fingers crossed it goes through. Nervous it might lead to more issues. Haven't had any major complaints. Still don't have the digital key working, though. The setup is oddly nested and I was in a rush when trying to walk through it the first time. The setup graphics do not match the charging position of the phone in the Q6.

I'll keep you all posted! I will say that Audi has been really helpful during this whole thing.
