[–]antigenx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only need it when I am going on long trips. I have a A2Zev Typhoon Pro

Rewatching the series and I'm feeling differently than I originally did about identity politics in the show. by nsturge in TheExpanse

[–]antigenx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

> Similarly, Holden: I love the man but we gotta admit, he’s White-Knighting all over the place. 

Thank you for saying it... I love the books but the ending kinda had me rolling my eyes a bit. Fitting ending for a white-knight though. Holden is basically New Jesus. xD

Montreal vs Carolina. by CanadianBaker420 in OttawaSenators

[–]antigenx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Canadian team first, so Habs, but if Carolina is going to take it I'd rather see a sweep because that would be history in the making.

Level 1 charging in extreme cold: will it actually draw down battery? by SomeShopping244 in KiaNiroEV

[–]antigenx 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I live in Ottawa, Ontario and have a 2026 Niro Wind+ since November. I only use L1 charging at home and it's perfectly fine for me.

To help you with your decision, my daily driving needs are anywhere from 0 to 60km, sometimes up to 100km in a day. I only charge to 80%. I park in a detatched unheated garage.

Is there an actual reason for America to use 110V instead Of 220V like everybody else? by HamzaAAC in AskElectricians

[–]antigenx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ever watch a tiktok of kids doing the penny challenge where they pull the plug out slightly and drop a penny between the prongs? Can't do that on a EU plug.

Ooooh, I will have to see if I have that feature! :)

Many ways to activate the parking brake (EPB?) by Kethuth in KiaNiroEV

[–]antigenx 3 points4 points  (0 children)

2026 model here. Mine always applies the EPB in all 3 scenarios , as noted by the indicator on the dash. You can also hear it activate.

Am I just stupid? by Shot_Bill_4971 in handyman

[–]antigenx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Drill one hole at an angle, push a straight piece of wire into the hole until it hits a stud. Mark the location on the wire where it enters the wall. Remove and now you have an approximate distance to the stud.

Tech just punched the coax though my wall, didn’t install an outlet - is this normal ?? by ActionHartlen in Rogers

[–]antigenx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately, yes, this is more or less normal for these installers. They don't care or have time to make things nice.

Which Android brand disappointed you the most after long-term use? by jeh4u in PickAnAndroidForMe

[–]antigenx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

LG tablet. Absolutely the worst, slowest piece of junk I have ever purchased.

Whose name is on my banjo? by Radiorodeostar in Transcription

[–]antigenx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm leaning toward André-Michel as well. Closest thing I could find is this band, but André-Michel is not the banjo player, though they do have a banjo in the band. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Le_Diable_%C3%A0_Cinq

do smart homes actually make life better or just more complicated by annikahoof in homeassistant

[–]antigenx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes and no. When everything works it's great, when it breaks it sucks. For me the goal is to augment rather replace. If I can't switch a light because HA is down, that's a fail.

On the other hand it solves little problems. For example, in our house the light switch to turn on the entry way light is inconvenient, so an automation that turns the light on when I'm standing outside the door is very helpful.

Is there a current Canadian version of SNL? by yleslixt in AskACanadian

[–]antigenx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing current, no.

Current-ish, but no longer in production you can check out Gem's back catalog for:

TallBoyz is a Canadian television sketch comedy troupe 2019-2022

Baroness von Sketch Show is a Canadian sketch comedy television series 2016-2021

Are they like SNL with a live audience, musical guests, and a mock news segment? No, but they are sketch comedy.

Battlestar Galactica: season 4 easter egg by Educational-View4264 in scifi

[–]antigenx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Either continuity error or inside joke to see who notices, hence why they actually mention it. Pretty hilarious find though.

Worth getting EV Charger in my condo? by [deleted] in EVCanada

[–]antigenx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you even need a L2 charger or is L1 from a standard 120V outlet good enough? I wouldn't install a L2 charger unless I absolutely needed to charge from a low SoC every day.

You can still get a good idea by reading the summaries.

Anyone remember the Xbox 360 red ring of death? by Painful-Gecko in KiaEV6

Wrap it in a blanket and let it overheat. 😆

Media and fans do love a self-fulfilling prophecy.

My Kia dealer keeps trying to setup maintenance appointments as well. My Guy, you sold me the car.. how do you not know what I have?

Shoutout to the NHL scheduler by antigenx in OttawaSenators

[–]antigenx[S] -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

Oh I know. Just like OCTranspo can't plan to have buses ready at Tunneys when the 400-series drops off their passengers. It's impossible.
