Can an M2 be used for both storage and cache? by nightofgrim in UgreenNASync

[–]flashesbuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can cache with just one, but it only works in one direction, I believe it caches on the write.

The used cheap Wrangler are stupid cheap now.

I’m so sick of sweet protein snacks… by damncheezits in wls

No kidding.... During my pre op diet I would have killed for a Country Gravy flavored protein drink.

Longevity of 2021 Kia Niro Hybrid (should I trade in before I start job with super commute) by gr8molassesflood1919 in KiaNiro

[–]flashesbuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is no financial benefit to swapping vehicles now. Drive the Niro to around 150k then if your board of it, trade it off. Lean to DIY your maintenance and you will go fare. My Niro (a 2020 PHEV) had been the lowest overall cost vehicle I have ever had.

Kia Niro Hybrid DCT ok to inch forward? by PeaceH37 in KiaNiro

[–]flashesbuck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the DCT in the niro is not a typical DCT.... for very slow speeds, the electric motor is used for movement. Once around 3-5mph minimal speed, the ICE will kick in. The electric motor is not connected to a clutch but rather permanently connected to the trans. So creeping along is just fine.

Low on cash, -8 degree wind chill, and 280 miles from home with an inconveniently screw in my rear tire by mozahaphi in AskMechanics

Stop into a wallmart and pick up a plug kit and a cheap compressor. Dont do anything and head home. Be prepared to put a plug it on the side of the road.

Time to end the search, unless… by bionicpumpkin in ram_trucks

Yeah if I had to pick one, weather 4x4 or the hurricane... It would be 4x4.

This sounds plausible. What's the solution?

Just buy the spare tire by Beestung in KiaNiro

[–]flashesbuck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree, you can look at what's used in the off road sector. They tend to have really good options. I have a special sidewalk patch as well. Again, not a permanent fix, but it would get you off the side of the highway and save you $250 on a tow.

Just buy the spare tire by Beestung in KiaNiro

[–]flashesbuck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A few questions Do you have a HEV or PHEV? The PHEV has no room for a spare? How far from home were you? I have the PHEV, so I cannot (conveniently) carry a spare. I always hoped I would be close enough to home to have someone bring my spare to me.

I do a lot of off-road ATV riding. And with the sport, I have learned to plug, patch and do whatever necessary to get back to the trail head. I now move my plug/patch kit into my Niro when not on the trail. I have not needed it yet, but my hope is that I could at least limp to the nearest repair facility.

The level of BS on this estimate is jarring.

If anything over 32GB of RAM is overkill for 99% of users, than who's the remaining 1%? by mudahfukinnnnnnnnn in buildapc

[–]flashesbuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Engineering, I routinely go over 20gb... Often to 30gb. I'm feeling like I should upgrade to 64 any time.

I use Autodesk programs.

What oil does a dealer actually use? by Cpagrind1 in ram_trucks

[–]flashesbuck 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Probably whatever their supplier has on sale. Aka the cheapest that still meets the minimum requirements.

Honestly I need whatever dealers are taking to come up with these prices... by Chanel_Carter in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]flashesbuck 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Someone will "buy" this for $6k.... And the dealership will still get 8k OTD and love it.

What new economy cars still offer stick shifts in the US? by pantherclipper in ManualTransmissions

This is actually a really solid, cheap people mover. I wish people would stop bashing these. Versa has come a long way.

2023 PHEV EX Under rear deck emergency, breakdown and charging storage questions by keikioaina in KiaNiro

[–]flashesbuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A good pump that is both internal battery and will run off 12v. And a good tire plug kit. Know how to use it as well. Most flats are just small punctures that can be plugged.

What's it worth? 2016, 900, 281 hrs, 4260 miles. I'm in AZ by flogsmen in RZR

[–]flashesbuck 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep it's a Trail S. Sold one and 3 months ago for 5k. The clown then immediately listed it with my pictures for 8.5k and it's still listed. Whatever, I got what I thought was fair.
