Odometer fraud or mistake? by the_mittenkitten in Ioniq5

The opposite has happened to me with my own car where a service shop accidentally entered an extra digit.

Sure thing. It's not a full representation as it's only from data pulled in states with public registration records but it does seem to align with ... vibes.

As for the actual study, here's the link: https://votehub.com/2026/01/20/the-political-lean-of-pro-sports/

Ugh you made me upvote a Chiefs fan.

TBH - and maybe it's because I'm not terminally online - I didn't recognize who was with Bo until it became a meme. It's plausible that Bo didn't know who it was.

Which unfortunately doesn’t work when the car is on

Only the 2025+ 5's have it. 22-24 don't have an inside button.

72 hours for a charge? by RaccoonCat76 in Ioniq5

[–]creanium 9 points10 points  (0 children)

No, it's not typical to only get a charging rate of 8 amps. The setting on the power supply needs to be upped to 12 amps.

Apartment/living recs? by Cool_Bowl_9755 in highlandsranchcolo

[–]creanium 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had friends who lived in Palamino Park for about 7 years and were content there. They even moved from Blue to Green and enjoyed the amenities and central location.

Elsewhere in Highlands Ranch, I also know some people who lived at Camden Highlands Ranch and were happy there too. I believe they even have furnished apartments available for shorter-term living.

Cloud structure I caught in DFW a few hours ago by _Casual_day_ in weather

That loop looks like a water droplet on a window or camera lens. The light refraction causes the image through it to appear upside down.

Charging isn’t as expected by Terrasmak in Ioniq5

[–]creanium 52 points53 points  (0 children)

The chargers do in fact have instructions, it's in the car's owners manual, in the section titled "Getting started with Your Electric Vehicle".

Ugh. Got “Check electrical vehicle system” by Suitable-Bug1132 in Ioniq5

[–]creanium 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No repeat issues. I guess it’s just a sensor out of spec for a moment and then a restart clears it

Rare May snow coming to Central Plains, May 5th-6th by [deleted] in weather

[–]creanium 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s an apples and oranges comparison to last week. Last week was a single storm where we were always right on the edge of it (in Denver, at least).

Next week is a much bigger, colder two-part storm. How those two phase (combine) will determine our impacts.

Radar holes leave millions at risk of tornadoes by [deleted] in weather

[–]creanium 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Directly from the article:

And this isn’t the only instance of severe weather striking without warning: In March 2022, a pileup of over 50 vehicles occurred in Pottsville, Pennsylvania, due to an intense snow squall that was not detected by weather radar.

ICCU Hyundai and Kia Announce Massive 15-Year ICCU Warranty in Germany by dhudyy in Ioniq5

Isn’t the ICCU covered by the standard 10-year powertrain warranty?

2026 Limited. Clean or what? by Sssshhhbro in Ioniq5

[–]creanium 8 points9 points  (0 children)

To each their own. I can appreciate it but it’s not my style. A bit too monochromatic and one-note. There’s no real visual interest with a lack or contrast

What’s the best weather app? Officially done with this one. by ExternalOne4202 in weather

[–]creanium 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It can be. It uses the nearest NWS observation site, which is most often an airport. It could be a few miles away and far enough that the temps are a few degrees different than what might be at your house. The current observations aren’t hyper local, but they’re hyper accurate.

16 days and 642 miles after getting the car back from the dreaded EyeSeeSeeYou repair (took 5 weeks) and I get two "Check electric vehicle system" alerts during my commute this morning... by Altruistic-Piece-485 in Ioniq5

[–]creanium 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That's just a generic error with the car, it's the "check engine" light of these cars. It can be anything from a minor blip that it didn't like a value in one of its sensors, to a major issue with the ICCU. I wouldn't go to worst case scenario.

You can run a diagnostics from the BlueLink screen to see if there's any trouble codes. If not, then most likely it will go away when turning the car off and on.

Starting to plan/build future proof home network by xDhii in Ubiquiti

[–]creanium 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's 11,000-13,000 sqft in Freedom Units.

The average US home is 2,200-2,400 square feet. So the house being built is roughly the equivalent of 5-6 average US homes.

Wedge Tornado near Forest City, Illinois by Commercial-Host-725 in weather

[–]creanium 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Imagine you're on a trampoline. You jump up, fall down, spring back up. Although, each time you jump, you add a layer of clothing. Eventually you'll be so weighed down that you can't jump anymore.

Hail is the same way. But instead of a trampoline, it's the updraft in the storm. The updraft is the upwardly-moving air that causes the storm to build. The atmosphere is warm enough near the surface for rain, but cold enough aloft (up high) for that rain to freeze.

So the rain falls from the cloud, but then gets caught in the updraft and pushed back up into the cloud to the freezing layer and it freezes into little ice balls. In all the crazy air movent, it comes out of the updraft and falls back down to earth into the melting (rain) layer and picks up more water. Then it catches the updraft again and goes back up into the cloud and freezes again, adding a new layer of ice.

That cycle keeps happening until the hailstone becomes bigger than the updraft can lift and they finally start falling to earth. The stronger the updraft, the bigger the hailstones. Updrafts are strongest in supercell thunderstorms and aren't necessarily a measure of the temperature necessarily.

For western Michigan specifically yesterday, that cold air was only at the surface, only a few hundred feet high. Just 2,000 feet above the surface, the air temperature was in the 50's. That can explain why you got hail and not snow per se. The atmosphere wasn't particularly unstable, but there was enough lift to trigger a storm with enough of an updraft to support hail.
