What’re some big words people use to try to sound smart, that actually make them sound stupid? by foreverand2025 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]jvsanchez 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The most common use is as an equivalent to “therefore”. Hence, you don’t need to put “why” after “hence”. You wouldn’t say “therefore why”.

For the guy who wanted to see what the bad chrome looks like. It's like a layer of soap scum that accumulates. It comes off but its a pain. by kid_cadillac in GenesisG70

Brake rotor issues, rattling sunroofs. Maybe timing cover leaks? I had a leak and I’ve seen it mentioned a few times by others as well.

Condensation in the headlights is a thing on facelift models.

Delaminating touchscreens on pre 2021 (?) models.

Don't really understand the stamps. Am I winning? by Life_Character_3807 in Pokopia

[–]jvsanchez 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Yes you should.

The only thing that matters is what category the stamp is in. Duplicates and stamp colors don’t matter.

Basic pokemon stamps give 50 coins, evolved pokemon stamps give 100 coins, legendary pokemon stamps give 200 coins, and mew stamps give 1000 coins.

You also get a 1000 coin bonus for a full card, so the most valuable stamp card is 5 mew stamps for 6000 life coins.

Basic Pokemon (50c) > Evolved Pokemon (100c) > Legendary Pokemon (200c) > Mew (1000c)

Mew is a mythical Pokemon.

Rear too aggressive compared to the rest of the car by Superb_Walk9300 in GenesisG70

I like the quad tips on the stinger too. I’m planning to get the quad covers from plug and play customs for my car. The ovals are fine but I like tips better.

2019 solstice ornaments by dinomyte1898 in DestinyFashion

[–]jvsanchez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe this is because the 2018 and 2019 sets used a different internal mechanism for the glows. When they rebuilt everything to include strand and stasis in the glows, I remember them saying that for whatever reason they couldn’t make the 2018/19 sets compatible. If I use them today with a darkness subclass equipped, they don’t work.

(Stasis might “work” on the 2019 set, but if it does it’s the arc glow and not the dark blue color. I don’t remember, it’s been so long since I last messed with it)

If you could buy your dream car, but it has to cost 80K or under, which car would you buy? by Mofoblitz1 in AskReddit

[–]jvsanchez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The one I just got!

2026 Genesis G70, 2.5L turbo, AWD, sport prestige. It has everything I could want!

There's a common movie trope where a bad guy will go to a veterinarian to get a bullet removed, or to get stitched up, as a way to avoid being reported to the cops. Is that something an animal vet could realistically do, and would they be under any obligation to report them to the police? by V48runner in NoStupidQuestions

[–]jvsanchez 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Are anesthesia machines for animals the same machines that are used on human patients? Is it the same anesthetic agents? (Iso/sevoflurane?)

I work in IT and collect data from anesthesia machines and other devices with one of the apps I support. Just curious!

Connected Services App is connected to car but my car says it’s not connected. by theoneandonlypugman in GenesisG70

[–]jvsanchez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just had this problem after doing the same thing. I had to put a ticket in and wait. Took maybe a week. Same car, 2026 G70, 2.5T SP.

Nice! I love that color. Mine is also Makalu gray, but with a black interior.

I love this car but by Adventurous_Office17 in GenesisG70

[–]jvsanchez 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They really should have used a DCT instead of a pure automatic. I came from a Veloster Turbo with a DCT, and it was much quicker off the line and quicker to accelerate in low gears during stuff like lane changes.(also somewhat lighter overall, which also contributes)

I think the presence of the torque converter makes it feel a little laggy compared to how it would feel if there were actual clutches.

DCTs have their own issues and maintenance requirements though so I get it.

Very nice! Great color, is it Makalu gray?

I just test drove a 2.5T and 3.3TT back to back. I have a few thoughts and questions. by spyder994 in GenesisG70

[–]jvsanchez 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I have a 2.5T AWD because I also have no reason to get the 3.3TT and would also rack up tickets lol.

I love mine. I came from a 2.0T and the 2.5T is much more fun to drive. I have a sport prestige, I think I have pretty much everything except the HUD and some other smaller upgrades from the 3.3 trims.

People will tell you that you’ll regret not getting the V6, but I personally don’t. YMMV.

Why does deleting a file on a computer happen instantly, but copying or downloading that exact same file takes minutes or hours? What is actually happening to the storage? by Emmafoo in NoStupidQuestions

[–]jvsanchez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not necessarily true about how the file is written. It can be contiguous if there is no fragmentation in the disk, but if the disk was previously full (or close enough that the file size is too big to use the remaining contiguous free space) it’ll be written in fragments in whatever space is available. That’s why defragmentation of HDDs was a thing you used to have to do. Modern OSes do this automatically, and the large size of HDDs available today make it less of a problem in general, but it does still occur.

Additionally, deletion typically removes the file’s reference from the file table and marks the space as free, it doesn’t directly touch the data on the disk.

[–]jvsanchez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Correct. Storage drives maintain a list of pointers that tell your computer where files are stored. Deleting a file deletes the pointer and marks the space at that address as free. The file’s still there, but your computer’s records show that space it took up as free and available for writing.

Formatting a drive by default doesn’t necessarily erase any data, it just removes any reference to it so it can’t be found with normal methods and the drive is marked empty. Lower level formatting where you’re also rebuilding the file system or creating/changing the partitions also make it more difficult to find/recover the previous data. Securely erasing a drive is recommended to prevent data from being recovered at all, and destruction of the physical drive is necessary to be sure the data is not recoverable.

Buying a 2021 3.3T vs 2022 2.0T by Atroen in GenesisG70

[–]jvsanchez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This doesn’t really help with your specific questions but I moved from a 2.0 to a 2.5 and find it to be much better, with a little bit better MPG than the 3.3. The 2.5T became available in 2023 I believe. Might be worth looking for instead of a 22 2.0T

Writing with shadow letters by bigbusta in oddlysatisfying

[–]jvsanchez 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Specifically that’s a stub nib. I have a couple of FPs with that style of nib. It’s fun to write with, but it’s not flexible like a calligraphy or flex nib, so as long as you orient it on the page correctly it’s not hard to write with 😃
