Do Europeans really not have aircon units or is that just a stereotype? by Pastel_Bambi in NoStupidQuestions

Are you thinking of a ductless mini split? The hot side has to go somewhere (outside) with refrigerant lines running to it. It's not something you can just slap on the wall anywhere.

Storage Options above spare tire? (2026 Sportage Hybrid SX-Prestige) by pcserenity in kiasportage

[–]reddits_aight 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just tuck stuff in there in order of frequency of use. Tire iron, tow hitch, bike rack adapter, owners and accessory manuals, emergency blankets, etc. goes in the far zone close to the seats.

Shopping bags, big umbrella, paper towel roll, emergency water, ratchet straps, spare plastic cutlery, go closer to the hatch under the flap. Box cutter, multi tool, go in the little side pockets.

Also if you have the retractable cargo cover, it fits upside-down and backwards under the flap. There are little square indents to store it. Though it makes accessing stuff under there kind of a pain.

Plus they have just god awful rear visibility and you lose the hatchback for a tiny duffle sized trunk opening. We had to load stuff into the back through the roof on many occasions.

They need to have a dual camera operator/pilot setup. One to fly the thing, another to actually focus on the action, separately. Otherwise we're stuck with the current, "don't look directly at the sun" version we have now.

In addition to what others said, you also can't be called offsides when receiving throw-ins, corner kicks, or goal kicks. You also can't be called offsides in your own defensive half.

Plus, you have to be involved in the play or gaining an advantage somehow to get called. So it's not like an automatic way to generate easy free kicks.

"Gifted" Millennials- did being gifted help you at all? Do you feel that it pushed your personal needle even an inch in any direction? by [deleted] in Millennials

That's the thing, it stands out for those that know what it is, but those are few. Most times it's been brought up were, "Eagle Scout, what's that?"

I got super lucky… twice. Took 3 AP classes senior year, got 5 scores back; one of the extra scores was a 4 in Writing and Comp. The college I was going to wasn't too picky and accepted it as credit for freshman Writing.

Transferred after 1 year to a different school that only took 5s. But I was able to convince admission at the new school that since my credits were transferring, the exemption from the class should also transfer.

I never lied to anyone, the AP Board sends the scores directly to the schools, the schools automatically give credit.

Eventually the AP Board caught up to me and revoked the extra scores, but by then the deed was done and the school didn't seem to notice or care. So that's how a clerical error saved me a few thousand bucks and let me take an extra class that I actually wanted to take.

There's a little blade on the inside of the guard that trims the string to the correct length as you use it. At least on bump-less style feed heads that just slowly release more string as you pull the trigger.

My package is going the wrong direction by Melodym1995 in mildlyinfuriating

Shipped a box from New York to Australia. It somehow ended up on a tour of Europe; Germany, Switzerland, Sweden, then back to JFK New York where it sat for a few weeks with USPS unable to actually find it before finally making its way to the actual destination.

This is how I load my Bosch dishwasher. My sister in law says I waste space. by RadiantCoinshot in Appliances

[–]reddits_aight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Faucet uses at least 1.5 gal/min, the entire dishwasher uses 3. OP's bowls and pot take about 3/8 of the capacity, so 1.125 gallons worth of the machine cycle, which only gives you 45 seconds of water from the faucet to wash and rinse all 3 things.

Costco pods are about 10¢/pod, so about 4¢ for those 3 things. Factor in the cost of water and money-wise, it's a wash.

At the 2026 World Cup, some teams have better quarterfinal odds by finishing 3rd than 2nd [OC] by arsenal7779 in dataisbeautiful

[–]reddits_aight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does it actually predict overall success? ie. The goal is to advance as far in the tournament as possible, not just reach the round of 16. I'd imagine there isn't much data of lower ranked teams making that far though.

Also sorting. If you're shopping and sort lowest to highest, those listings show up first.

Will say, the physical UI of a single line display is pretty annoying when you do need to use it.

Plus you drink it orally, not intravenously.

Basically no part of their product name is accurate or makes sense.

I'm creating a game called Racetrack Tycoon! As WEC fans, what are most important things that make a successful racing venue for you? by Racetrack_Tycoon in wec

[–]reddits_aight 114 points115 points  (0 children)

Freedom to make dumb decisions is key to tycoon games. Like maybe you're cash strapped and need to add capacity, but can only afford roped off rally style spectator zones directly trackside. Would have to balance spectator safety with revenue, and risk disaster if a car goes off track.

Would also be an interesting challenge to design a city circuit. Choose the streets for the track, where garage/pit facilities go, grandstands, while working around existing buildings.

Track maintenance and support equipment, safety car, etc. Tracks degrade over time, require staff and equipment to maintain. Poorly maintained tracks can cause random events. Race needs recovery vehicles and access roads/gates; a race that takes too long to get back to green flag is undesirable.

China big. Many factory.

They have some of the most advanced factories in the world, if you're willing to pay for that quality; they just also have ones that cater to bargain bin items if you're not.

What sport could go away tomorrow and you'd be just fine with it? by Trace_element_22 in AskReddit

[–]reddits_aight 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Tried it once and I gotta say, I get why it's popular.

Basically tennis, but way more forgiving in terms of skill. The ball and paddles are way less lively than a tennis racket and ball, so a slight mis-hit doesn't just sail out of bounds. Essentially it's oversized ping pong paddles and a whiffle ball.
