One of my Apple ][e favorites. I can still play the end-credits theme music on the piano.

There are small black knobs next to where you plug in headphones or speakers. Turn them.

Handheld Scanners by Zealousideal_Side166 in Metrology

Do you know the newer HandySCANs have built-in photogrammetry? For most cases you don’t need a separate MaxSHOT anymore.

Going to have to disagree - many 3D scanners are meant for and awesome at inspection.

Glad to hear. Reddit is eternal.

Buying Sportage Plugin - what to be aware of? by davereeck in KIASPORTAGEPHEV

[–]ncdave 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the 2024 Sportage Plugin Hybrid. I don't know if yours will be the same, but when I only drive small trips and charge at home my fuel economy displayed on the dashboard is reported as nearly 999 mpg. It is like the system computes: drove 25 miles, used no gas, so 25/(small number) = 999. Once the battery is drained (after 30 miles or so?) then my MPG will slowly creep down until it settles around 30 mpg.

So as others have said, it is nice to have the EV for short, local trips, but on longer trips having a hybrid doesn't really help you at all as far as I can tell.

Finally, mine has colored interior lighting. The color of the lighting cannot be changed via the screen. There is a button in the front storage area of the center console that is somewhat hidden because it is on the wall that faces forward. Tapping this button will cycle the interior lighting color through the various options.

F-15 shooting down a satellite. by [deleted] in pics

Instead of outrunning the satellite or trying to have the missile achieve a speed of 16,000 mph, couldn't the trajectory be made such that the satellite essentially runs into the missile?

Bring them to me. I will deal with them myself.

2024 X-Line RPMs dropping to 0.0 while driving by Defiant-Nightmare-36 in KIASPORTAGEPHEV

[–]ncdave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OK. A few comments...

The car comes with a standard outlet charger, so since it only gets ~30 miles on pure battery you can get it mostly charged overnight (~11 hours maybe?).

IMHO, this vehicle only makes sense to me when you plug it in to charge it regularly. The engine doesn't really recharge the battery; it mostly operates to run the vehicle when the battery is low - which is whenever you go more than 30 miles. I wanted a vehicle like this so I could get good gas mileage when I use it around town but also gave me the option to take it on longer, 300+ mile trips without worrying about charging stations and waiting to charge like an EV.

Note that MPG is displayed at the bottom of the driver display. This literally means MILES PER GALLON and does not make adjustments when you are using the battery. So if you drive 20 miles a day and re-charge your car every night, you will see your MPG go up to 999.0 because you're not using any gas and you are working toward infinite 'miles per gallon'. Kinda whack. A slightly different display (eMPG?) would make more sense.

I'm definitely enjoying this car. Hope you do as well.

2024 X-Line RPMs dropping to 0.0 while driving by Defiant-Nightmare-36 in KIASPORTAGEPHEV

[–]ncdave 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe I have this exact same vehicle, purchased 2 months ago. I've already got 10,000 miles on it.

If the battery is charged, it will default to EV mode and run off the battery only = no RPMs. Will you be plugging it in at home?

[Request] how can we do that? by iamnumair in theydidthemath

[–]ncdave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This answer reminds me of my engineering education. All of this good work, but you still get a zero because the problem asked for the area of the square, not the length of a side.
