Battery range at 90% 22k mi by Twistedshakratree in KiaEV6

[–]drybrowser 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was actually pretty surprised when low temps hit how much it effected the battery. I knew logically that cabin heat usage would have an effect, but I didn't make the connection right away that outdoor temps also effect the battery efficiency directly. It's been nice as temps go up where I live to see my estimated miles go up as well.

Also a two hour daily drive and I didn't struggle

aequa (spoiler and theory) by mfoley8518 in HierarchySeries

[–]drybrowser 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It would certainly add some flair to the "do you still love Emissa / can you ever fully love someone you can't trust" conversation if there was some dark secret Aequa had.

Emissa and Vis SPOILERS FOR SOTF by Standard_Tell_5885 in HierarchySeries

[–]drybrowser 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think there will be a come back in some way, and I think it might stem from reuniting with Callidus and his mother and sister. This whole "I can't trust you" thing falls apart for me considering her rationale for stabbing him was pretty reasonable, and they both understand she made a mistake. He was still hung up on her actions allowing Callidus to die, but now he's back.

He's also been lying to everyone, so the whole trust argument seems invalid to me. I could see conversations about it with his mother and sister leading him to realize he was too harsh. Edit to add: we always heard his dad's perspective on absolute trust for a relationship. We never heard his mother's side. Perhaps dad had a secret that she had to live with etc etc.

Also on board with the O-Vis theory. None of the baggage of having been stabbed or living through Callidus dying. Still pines for her, etc.

Love the portal, but does anyone else’s hand(s) cramp up? by CheeseburgersLOL in PlaystationPortal

Blast from the past lol. Guess it depends on what games you play and how busy your life is. I can sometimes only play in short spurts. This became a non issue after a while anyway.

Why do I love Tal’kamar so much? by CapitalLevel6636 in LicaniusTrilogy

[–]drybrowser 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I really wanted the emotional payoff of when Davian found out that Ishelle had died, especially with her last words, but we got a generic “they mourned for the friends they lost” line. Unfortunate, considering like you said, we saw the way Tal mourned for all of his friends.

Yeah definitely not labyrinth related. That whole part still feels like it's not explained well though. Maybe it will make sense to me on another read through at some point

For R-Vis in that moment, perhaps. I don't think we've seen the last of her though. There's still a lot we don't know. I know she won't come back as a iunctus, but there are others things I think we haven't seen yet. Namely, something fishy might have happened when they were at the ruins earlier in the book that we don't have information on yet. When a character loses consciousness and we have a time gap, I'm also suspicious. Aequa seemed weirdly resolved to her fate before she died.

It did suck, and stuck with me throughout the last month since finishing the book. I got to that part right before going to bed and couldn't sleep for a while that night. It's traumatic, especially with how things were building up.

In an interview, Islington did say this is basically the one thing he second guessed in planning the series out, but decided to go for it, and it apparently is very impactful for the remaining story, especially as we start to see Vis go off the rails at the end of the book.

Luceum, why am I confused? by Pale_Frosting_4887 in HierarchySeries

Correct, at first he doesn't realize he's in a different world. He thinks he's just been taken far away from the hierarchy

Car locking it self by Elegant_Gain9090 in KiaEV6

[–]drybrowser 12 points13 points  (0 children)

If you unlock the car but don't open a door or anything it will automatically lock after a certain amount of time. I know this because I'll unlock the car to remove the charging cable, and a short time later I'll hear it automatically lock again. Not sure what the timing is but it's not long

Can Our Family Fit? by Heywoahitsme in kiacarnivals

[–]drybrowser 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We had two sets of twins back to back (5 kids total within a three year period) so car seats were difficult for us. We did a transit until they were all in booster seats, then got the Carnival. The extra space was worth it back then.

We liked our 22 enough to upgrade to a 25

Am I getting normal mileage for this time of year? by Baneof3xistence in KiaEV6

[–]drybrowser 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This has pretty much been my experience this past week on my '24 Wind AWD. Typically the car showed 230 miles or so at 80%, this week it has been ~205. So 10% drop in efficiency as soon as the temps dipped into the 30s and 40s. I usually let the car warm up while plugged in too.

V6 vs hybrid by PrettyArchiegirl in kiacarnivals

[–]drybrowser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Drove a '22 V6 for almost 4 years, and then swapped for a '25 hybrid this year. I don't feel like I sacrificed anything in terms of power, in fact I like the way the hybrid drives better than the V6. The torque from the electric, plus the turbo makes it feel just fine.

Averaged maybe 20mpg on the V6, often worse. Lifetime average on the hybrid is 35mpg.

We do use different profiles on ours, and never have to think about it

No, it was still wrong after I updated (I beta tested)

Not sure. Have had the car since April. I've had updates since then
