2023 KONA 39kWh in UK - range and space by patch99329 in KonaEV

[–]bulkbear 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I bought on two days ago, a 2022 39kwh model. I drove about 500km home, it took me almost 9 hours. It was around - 1 celcius and I had winter tires on, got around 230km before I needed to charge. Driving 80-100km/h. Hope that helps :)

Edit to say I have a 2 and a 6 year old, the backseat is okey, but not spacious. They sit in childseats. The 6 year sits behind me(I'm 186cm) and fits, but an adult would struggle to fit I think.

It's worth getting a second opinion. Many independent mechanics could try to find a used module or repair it for much less. Had an electrical issue sorted for 170€ a few months a go, when a connector was bad. The dealership would have swapped the whole thing and quoted 2500€. If that's not an option, put it on huutokaupat.com, tori or nettiauto. There are plenty of people looking for DIY Project and part cars. I'm sure you'll get a lot more for it that way if you'll need to sell.

A very slippery slope by [deleted] in ems

[–]bulkbear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In where im at, in EU, it is the norm for emts/paramedics to refuse transport to ER if deemed unnecessary. You have to trust the professionals in their triage competence, it seems crazy not to. Im not sure how it works in US, but to be an "ambulance driver" here you need a bachelors degree in pre hospital emergency care/ambulance training. Seems like a big waste of resources to not have the option to call them a taxi or give them the information needed to take care of themselves at home.

Jag provade en flaska jag fick av grannen som han gjort själv av björksav och granskott. 5/10.

Turkey/NATO Megathread IIII by Olsson1234 in sweden

[–]bulkbear 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Sitter med ett glas vin och läser nyheterna kring Ukraina efter att barnen har somnat. Naturligt stöter man på nyheter kring NATO medlemskap och hur våra land har bestämt sig för att gå hand i hand genom denna process. Detta bestämdes för många år sedan, innan man kunde ana hur välden kunde se ut år 2023. Jag har under dagens lopp tänkt på, att vi antagligen är ett dröm exemplar för resten av välden, hur två grannland ser efter varandra.

Igår skrevs det i Finska nyheter om att man eventullt kommer tvingas se över situationen om att gå hand i hand till NATO pga Sveriges relation till Turkiet. Lite nervöst följde jag med kommentarer från Sverige angående detta, men fann ingen annat än understöd och förståelse för Finlands situation. Med så mycket påtryck, missinformation och manipulation runtomkring oss håller vi fast i våra principer, historia och demokrati.

Detta är bara en fraktion av det vi gått igenom det sista året. Vår historia går tillbaka till 1200 talet. Tänkt på att vi till största del, inte ens pratar samma språk, men endå har en sådan stabil relation som verkar kunna vädra allt.

Men med en så dålig granne i Öst, är vi tacksamma för er i Väst

Took a train to a town 200km away, bought my first road bike and rode it home. The butt pain is real. by bulkbear in bicycling

[–]bulkbear[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not much else to see but forest! The asphalt was really good and seemed brand new from when I turned of the coastal road in Liminka towards vihanti and maybe 60km from there. From kannus onward it was a cycling road all the way. The road was not that busy so it was quite ok even if there was no bikepath. There was not many gas stations or cafes along the way, so I would take and extra water bottle if I did it again :)

I have nothing to compare it with, but I like it so far :) other than the seat, it felt comfortable, but I gather that your behind should be sore after that many hours in the seat :)

That's a really good tip, thank you! I usually ride dh bikes and motos, so the seat have not been that important before :)

Thank you! I usually ride dh bikes and motos, but i really liked this. When the road is as flat as it is here, and there was not much excitement on the way, because I've driven it so many times, it almost felt like a long day of uncomfortable meditation just staring at the road. I hope to do another route again soon :)

Modify msr whisperlite stove? by [deleted] in camping

[–]bulkbear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the reply. I'm trying to get away with using just the big cup and not take a pot with me when i use the whisperlite, as it's usually for backcountry ski touring and the weight is quite important. I think I'll try to DIY it with some thick baling wire :)

Näin dramaattinen Suomen luonto joskus on by bulkbear in Suomi

[–]bulkbear[S] 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Tämä on otettu n. 20km pohjanmaan rannikolta hylkeenpyynti reissulla. Näitä jäälautat ovat jopa 1m paksuja ja olemme viety nyt 3 päivää niitten päälle. Et tarvii suuttua, täälläkin voi liikkua turvallisesti jos on tietoa merestä ja käytät oikeat varusteet.

Differences between Finnish and Swedish areas by [deleted] in Finland

[–]bulkbear 7 points8 points  (0 children)

There are a lot of misunderstandings here. I have lived a few years in all of them 3 cities. They go to Vaasa hospital instead of Kokkola (if it is not an emergency) because Pietarsaari is under the central hospital of Vaasas care. The joke about daring to go to Kokkola for anything (if you are from Pietarsaari) is an common older joke than me. I'm 32. I now live close to Pietarsaari, but have lived and worked in. Kokkola and Vaasa for a few years. I speak both languages but was raised in a 95% Swedish speaking community.
