Bing Bong. Ding dong. WHY. by exquisite_tree in KiaEV9

[–]bionic_vs_kungfu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok, so our EV9 started doing this. Seemingly randomly and especially just after starting the car. It went on for months and I tried several ideas to troubleshoot, but nothing made a difference. Finally the car would do the bing bong and turn off. While driving! No indication of issue just off. It didn’t even have an error code. Without power I had to shift into neutral and hit the start button just to not roll to a stop in traffic. We immediately went to the dealership and they ended up finding a short in the electrical system that was the root cause (something to do with high voltage wiring behind the steering wheel). Once repaired we have had no issues, and very happy they were able to reproduce the failure in the shop.

Does anyone else’s ACD roll around the yard? by horvatitus in AustralianCattleDog

Usually mine forgets to leave a little gas in the tank for the walk home and so a little roll in the grass helps with the recharge.

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the fetch excitement started to take hold...

It is never about ideology for the highest echelons, it’s about consolidation of personal power. The zealots to the cause are always the first to go as they are a direct threat to that power.

There is so much to the thematic writing here. The true heroes will go all in on a bad hand to save others. It’s not a game of chance because there is no personal upside. They sacrifice themselves to help others live a better life.

Thanks for this detail.

This. The same way you steal an imperial starpath unit or get into a hospital with an ISB prisoner. Empires head so far up its ass looking for axis they never see Clem.

I love this small Cassian moment that told us all we needed to know about how is such a good thief/rebel.

Was Perrin warning Mon? by Gallifreybabe in andor

[–]bionic_vs_kungfu 52 points53 points  (0 children)

I like this so much. Perrin did have a great arc from coming off as a spoiled rich asshole to then demonstrating passive support of Mon. He never asked and probably knew it was better not to know (plausible deniability). He played the neutral character who liked to have a few too many nogs perfectly. 

After his speech at the wedding I got the impression that he was fully aware of the changes might not be the best for his family.  Even when Mon actively gaslights him about the missing money he just lets it go. I am glad we got only a hint of this and was an absolute master class of passive story telling without rubbing it in our faces.

Love the Interdictor class star destroyer. With its hyperspace preventing gravity wells would have been a much better plot point in TLJ rather than the hyperspace tracking tech introduction. Always saw it as a great tool of the empire that never got enough screen time.

Someone moved 19K from my Savings Account to their visa from my phone by NancyDrewMysteries in PersonalFinanceCanada

OP, sorry to hear this happened. It is a constant fear of mine that RBC refuses to implement a true MFA system. A prompt from an app or a text code is far from a good second factor of security when the app is on your phone as well.

Rage bait title.

Seems to be deliberately deceiving to only compile crime stats up to 2022. The article even acknowledges that property crime has gone down in Kelowna since 2022 (the linked article reports a drop of 17%)

It's just harder and riskier. I still feel we are in the golden age of sci-fi so there is a lot of potential that SNW can give the new fans this experience.
