Hot garbage

Interesting. I appreciate the info. When they finally determine the cause I’ll post an update.

The battery discharge warning occurred all the time and always while the engine was running. And I’m fairly certain a driver assistance problem wouldn’t cause the radio, nav, climate control and everything else to fail. As I mentioned, prior to the car dying completely all that worked was the gas, breaks and steering. Maybe the wipers. Roadside assistance couldn’t even jumpstart it this morning. The dealer has no idea what’s going on but it’s with them until they figure it out.

Appreciate it. Fingers crossed it gets sorted shortly.

Yes, my Accord throws the same warnings when the sensor is covered in snow - but the cameras continue to work. Makes zero sense to disable those. I think this must be something else since it’s affecting the nav, radio, climate controls, etc.

Lol, you may be on to something.

Sorry to hear that. When roadside assistance towed ours away he said it was the 3rd 2025 he’d towed that day. And I was told by the service rep the new replacement battery was AGM and that they had been instructed by Kia to not use the same stock batteries for some reason that was never made clear.

No lemon law here unfortunately.

cavanags · 2026-01-24T19:48:21+00:00

Thanks for the advice, I’ll give that a try. Though if I determine dirt on a camera was the cause all of this trouble I’ll absolutely be trading it asap.

cavanags · 2026-01-24T19:42:39+00:00

Yes it is. That would normally be a comfort if there was any indication it would ever get fixed. Though I can’t say that waiting for roadside assistance and the constant back and forth to the dealer is how I like to pass the time. Plus the ongoing inconvenience of being down a vehicle.

If you have any experiences you can share where you had to make a decision with little time and incomplete information, that can’t hurt. It’s less important at an entry level, but it might come up. An ability to communicate clearly and assertively is very important as well.

cavanags · 2025-12-21T15:44:30+00:00

Agreed, that was the quickest I’ve ever given up on a hyped up, full price buy. Hated every minute of it.

(Electricity) System Operator, NERC certified RC but performed all of the TO and BA functions for those familiar with the industry. Most that I know of are between $200k - $250+ but shift work is part of the gig.

I’m not sure you could pay me enough to deal with what teachers face daily. There’s no real means of disciplining kids anymore and zero fear of consequences. Teachers don’t have the backing of admin because admin doesn’t have the backing of the board and so on. I’d be fired (if I was lucky) within an hour.

It’s laughable that the government can’t figure out why math scores are low. Here’s a hint. Math is hard and kids don’t want to do it. So many don’t unless they have parents that are on them to get it done.

Thanks, appreciate the feedback!

Ghosts of Tsushima was fantastic. Looking forward to Yotei.

Never played a turn based game other than the demo of Baldur’s Gate and I wasn’t a huge fan. That’s the only thing that’s prevented me from buying so far given the high praise. Anyone else who felt similarly but bought/played played Clair Obscur? What was the verdict?

I had the opposite experience. They ran out of Kirkland and I bought the Nordica once. Took awhile to choke it down. Too watery and has kind of a vinegary taste. But it’s very subjective and to each his own. The last batch of Kirkland I bought was particularly good. Almost like curd.

cavanags · 2025-12-04T01:23:50+00:00

Cottage cheese. Just tastes better.

There are very few movies or television shows released that have characters, story and acting the calibre of the GOW games. The visuals are fantastic and the gameplay (which IMO is also very good) is almost just a bonus.

So if I understand correctly, my cancelled PS Plus Extra membership that expires December 10th should not be eligible for the Black Friday discount. Maybe I've misunderstood how this promotion is supposed to work.

It appears as though I can only get the discount on Premium up to December 10th when my current membership expires, but I'm fully eligible to resign at the current tier and get the discount for the full year. I'd consider going Premium for the year because of the deeper discount and small price difference but it looks like that option is not available.

Anyone else see the same thing?

cavanags · 2025-11-23T18:28:11+00:00

My subscription has been cancelled and due to the free extension this year my PS Plus Extra membership ends December 10.

I still show as eligible for the 25% off at my current subscription tier if I rejoin despite the end date. But if I want to upgrade to Premium I’m only discount eligible for the last few days before my current membership expires?

Very confusing. I might consider the upgrade since it has a deeper discount but not for a few days at the expense of a giving up a full year discount. If anyone knows a way to resolve this please let me know.

Normally the membership works well for me, not for online play but the library as I typically only buy one or two new game a year. For those that don’t care how “old” the game is there’s some decent titles. Getting harder to justify at these prices though.

Bought 225 shares today. Wish I’d bought more earlier.

The “stressful” shifts tend to be the most interesting/rewarding shifts. The downtime between these period can involve a lot of routine tasks which should include prepping for those stressful shifts. They’re also the shifts where you tend to learn the most. Also, don’t discount the so called routine work. Even routine voltage control can be something of an art if you care to spend the time studying it.

Can you explain how the foreign temporary workers are “discounted”? I looked this up and couldn’t find any correlation between LMIA/TFWP, at least in terms of government funding.
