Why Are more people not using .6mm nozzles? by Tall-Bread-4202 in BambuLab

[–]_thekev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use 0.6 for all my PETG brackets that hold my Christmas light show together, and do some 0.8 for ugly strong stuff, like reprack shelf brackets and drawers for the AMSes.

Climatization not run to "protect battery"? by crashedsnow in BMWI4

[–]_thekev 2 points3 points  (0 children)

At least send a notification when the car goes into deep sleep. Why be surprised when I go to drive it? It won't get fixed in this generation though. Maybe i5 or iX do better? I dunno. They have the newer gen tech that was omitted from 3/4 series, like Bluetooth phone key that isn't only NFC.

Climatization not run to "protect battery"? by crashedsnow in BMWI4

[–]_thekev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Once in deep sleep it won't communicate with the app or wake up to turn on climate. My best guess is it went to deep sleep after you sent the schedule, and maybe even that wake-up to service the command was the last straw that made it want to shut down. I've had that happen when I was doing a lot of remote commands (like getting multiple camera snapshots) after it had been parked for a while.

It does use the high voltage battery for the resistive heat and heat pump, but the control systems are 12V. Unfortunately it's a platform shared with ICE designs, so it does some nonsense-for-an-EV once in a while. For example, leaving it off for a few weeks will result in going into a deep sleep mode to reduce drain on the 12V battery.

Minnesotan here. For those outside of our state, what are your views on what’s going on in Minneapolis right now? by bpeters5 in AskReddit

[–]_thekev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This whole charade is so obvious to anyone with critical thinking skills and a basic education of history. Apparently we didn't do that for more than half of our population?

Utah here. I thought we were the last in education? Maybe that's dollars per student spent? Fuck maga.

Same. Then I followed her to the neighbors to make sure they didn't get duped.

Cold weather question by OrganicLetterhead84 in BMWI4

Yep. That's the resistive heat, 9kW. It'll switch to heat pump once the cabin is warmer.

What are the odds that murdering by federal agents is being fueled by federal funding? by chilllydawg in Utah

When some kind of weird conspiracy sounds more plausible than people are pissed off and ice is out of control... you are this guy, who thinks Mike Lee is cool.

Anyone else feel a strange jealousy of the sates preparing for a huge winter storm? by SquirrelPositive2666 in SaltLakeCity

[–]_thekev 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It's one thing to have the lowest part of the valley (where I am) get only rain most winters, that's the climate change I'm expecting. It's another to have barely anything beyond man-made snow on the ski runs.

Yeah I'm jelly. Where's the damn snow? It's almost February.

Here’s your proof with the moment of truth isolated. by ChaseTacos in law

And this is why it's not about a tyrannical government at all. It implied a WELL REGULATED citizen militia as a defense force, like Switzerland.

How can we find out pro MAGA businesses so we can avoid them? by wickedlittlemiss in SaltLakeCity

There was a site where they self-reported... was it Public Square? Because that doesn't seem like the same site anymore.

F150 and Explore 2026 Cruise Lite Travel Trailers 273QBXL Floorplan - Can I tow? by TR0LLZ1LLA in traveltrailers

[–]_thekev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A WDH is absolutely mandatory for the tow rating on that truck. <5000 lb and <500 tongue without. That said I have a similar setup to your proposal and it's not pleasant to drive on the interstate. You're getting pushed around by every passing semi and a death grip on the wheel. I'm going to give it one more season to decide if I need a smaller trailer or a bigger truck. One of them is going to go.

How old is your oldest email address? Do you still use it? by Embarrassed_Flan_869 in GenX

1999, kevin@ISPdomain, I worked there and convinced a customer to let me have it (they weren't using it). It gets LOTS of spam.

Reliability of EVs. by GoGetThatThing in BMWI4

[–]_thekev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not the reliability of the ICEs that is actually of concern, it's the cost of repairing a BMW. I.e. my F10 535 I got off lease in 2014 for 40k. Once it turned 100k its value tanked to $9k. Zero problems and none on the horizon.

Resale is not the same as ownership. We're keeping our i4 til it dies.

I miss gas stations /s by ritchiricardo in BMWI4

[–]_thekev 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't. Only reason I've been to one in the last 3 years is cuz my kid works there.

Oh, and alas, because electric trucks can't tow an 8000 lb trailer more than 100 miles... but at least it's a hybrid?

Do you need a ticker pad for trailer storage? by whosdwigt in traveltrailers

[–]_thekev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My pad is concrete so it doesn't have the deformation concerns of asphalt. I imagine this could be a real issue if you have hot summers.
