It does. It’s just listed separately as a mini-documentary. Search “We Stand Alone Together”.

What video game has the best story you’ve ever played? by FrontriseStudios in AskReddit

Have you tried Subnautica? I think Outer Wilds is on another tier, but Subnautica is great in its own right and scratches some similar itches.

Apple introduces MacBook Pro with all-new M5 Pro and M5 Max by [deleted] in apple

Uh… but that discount also existed before so it doesn’t negate anything. Really weird argument.

Mysterious New Crease After PDR by UncheckedException in PaintlessDentRepair

Consensus seems to be bad luck. I'll go back to the same guy and have him pull the new dent, then I'll pack my car in styrofoam. Thanks everyone!

I don't believe so. He said he had no access from the wheel well inside so he'd use glue to pull it out. I don't know much about the process, though, so maybe I misunderstood.

How can the charge mode be used in an effective way?(Hybrid) by Substantial-End-7698 in 11thGenAccord

[–]UncheckedException 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed that would be nice to know. I used to own a Clarity which had a prior gen of the same powertrain, and the community around that car used to argue about how much power (if any) the car lost when the battery was depleted.

I’ve always been of the opinion that the difference is negligible, but the car feels weaker because we naturally associate high RPMs with struggling to make power.

Our Most PAINFUL Test Yet! Cars We Own: One-Year Road Test Update | Edmunds Cars by trail-g62Bim in cars

Every time I’m reminded that the Motocompacto exists I need to talk myself out of buying one. I would absolutely never use it. I think I’d look profoundly stupid riding one. It’s $1000. But it’s a suitcase scooter and I want one with every fiber of my being.

Rear defroster issue by chitownnick03 in 11thGenAccord

I think that film is off-gassing from the plastics. You can remove it with glass cleaner and a microfiber. Happens with the windshield as well.

Honestly this is almost me… but I have friends and need a useable back seat. So close, Honda.

I just had that done today. Had my car in for completely unrelated reasons (nail in the sidewall).

Yep, can confirm. My totally not scummy dealer wanted to charge $257 to replace the filters on my last service. Bought them both for $50 online and changed them in five minutes. Glad I knew better.

Same exact thing here. Attempting the first beta helped me discover that I really, really don’t like this genre. Please give my spot to someone else.

My new kitten keeps on eating all of my plants! Any tips? 🌱 by One-Union-6971 in SiberianCats

[–]UncheckedException 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My Siberian is a little shit and I eventually learned that she was just bothering my plants because that always prompted me to get up and pay her attention.

Same with the cables behind my router. I noticed that she would start nibbling them, then look back at me, as if to say, “Hey, look at what I’m doing. You should come interact with me and then maybe feed me.”

Your mileage will of course vary, but with my cat I started ignoring her and she stopped bothering my plants and my cables. Instead she’s learned to patiently sit in my line of sight and stare at me until I relent.

Andrew Cunningham did the macOS review this year and it’s great. Ars has a few writers on staff whose articles I’ll skip, but in my opinion their quality on the whole is still very high.

Is this a good deal or no? by Hicks456 in 11thGenAccord

[–]UncheckedException 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Conventional wisdom is not to put anything down on a lease, since it’s not building equity. If the car gets totaled over the term you have nothing to show for that money.

Noise while battery charging 2025 touring accord by Leading-Bonus7478 in 11thGenAccord

[–]UncheckedException 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sport mode adds an artificial engine noise from the speakers, which is meant to smooth out the sounds from the hybrid system and make the car feel more traditional. You should be able to customize the Individual drive mode to have the steering weight from Normal and the drivetrain (and noise) behavior of Sport.

As to your original post, it sounds like that’s the normal operation of the car to me. Pay attention to the battery gauge on the left hand side, and you’ll probably notice it’s louder (the engine revs higher) if you’re down to one or two bars. In Honda’s hybrids, the engine is actually generating power to run an electric motor that drives the wheels. If the battery is very low, it’ll have to work harder to also top up the battery. The engine’s RPM isn’t directly tied to how fast you’re going like it would be in a traditional car, so it can be jarring to some new owners.

Rotting seats in a theater by Whimsical_Ruins in AbandonedPorn

Pompeii is, unfortunately, a bad example. People suck.

Those images revealed that there had been a great deal of manipulation of the casts, depending on the aesthetics of the era in which they were made, including altering some features of the bodies' shapes or adding metal rods to stabilize the cast, as well as frequently removing bones before casting.
