FHEVs, clarification?

Online info seems scarce on what actually distinguishes a Full Hybrid from a Mild Hybrid.

From what I can tell, it seems to slot right in between a Mild Hybrid and a PHEV, but without any ability to charge it. Is it just a MHV with an oversized battery pack that still can't be charged, so still just a MHV?

I can't make heads or trails of it; just came across the term recently.

[Request] Driving duration changes, cost or benefit to the economy?

Specifically wondering about the USA.

It comes up pretty often in discussions online about driving that one option is for people to leave earlier. The context is usually commuting to work, where presumably they would not be able to clock in before their shift. Also the suggestion seems to be focused on getting there on time rather than spending less time on the road.

Request: by how much would an extra 5 minutes of average commuting time impact the US economy overall? +10, +15? What about -5, -10, -15?

ELI5: Why do upper management and HR protect bad middle management?

Sometimes it's clear that these Supervisors and first tier Managers are just playing politics, taking credit for work they didn't do and shoving others under the bus for any blame, bleeding high performers, breaking internal guidelines, or even treading next to illegal activities. Not to mention largely missing deliverables for the company. Yet when anyone raises a concern, when they try to fire someone, or people leave in droves, they get protected.

Is it that much worse to replace a bad manager than to lose and/or fire a whole team of SMEs? Curious about the perspective from a hypotethical Sr. Manager's, Director's, VP's point of view.

Wasp grill invasion

Some wasps have apparently been nesting in our grill. The grill is in the middle of the backyard and has some obstacles around it (few feet away) but is still fairly easy to access.

I see them going in there fairly often, but I haven't been crazy enough to pop the cover open to FAFO.

There isn't enough of them to make me that worried about walking over and just turning on the grill. But I can also see how that could go wrong, depending on their reaction time.

Another option would be covering them up in there and just hoping they eventually overheat under the sunlight or just run out of energy.

I've also setup external traps last year, before they chose this new spot. Those seemed fairly effective overall, but they did seem to take a long time to do their thing.

Not really leaning towards calling a service, but could be talked into it.

Other options?

Baby car seat, ALR seatbelt or LATCH options? OG9-3

I'm looking to install a modern Doona brand baby car seat/stroller into an OG9-3 5 door/hatch. There don't seem to be anchor points for the modern LATCH system (it's pre-2002), and the baby car seat manual specifically calls out ALR as the only alternative.

Seems like the seatbelt does not auto ratchet when pulled all the way out, so as far as I can tell it does not have ALR.

What are my options?

ALR upgrade of the seatbelt assembly?

Installing LATCH anchors?

Whatever people were doing before 2002? (what was it they were doing?)

I'm really not finding much for how people usually/used to do this.

Edit: not sure if I got downvoted because of calling it a 4D? Fixed it. Still hoping to find a working solution.

Account tags automatically added to shared video URL?

Video URLs now coming with a direct tag to the account of the person who shared the link?

Leading video platform. A user shares a link on Reddit, and when someone clicks on it, they are brought to an interface in the video app that prompts them to start a direct chat with the person who shared the link. Essentially negating anonymity of both the person sharing and the person clicking.

Anyone else running into this? How does one opt out/turn this "feature" off?

Android. Turning off side scrolling?

(Reposted from r/newtoreddit, by mod's user's suggestion.)

Relatively new to the platform

I've been looking for a way to opt out of/ turn off the ability to go to the next post by swiping sideways on the post I'm currently on. I find it isn't helpful overall and it interferes with scrolling through pictures/ post content.

Any help is appreciated

Switch connection manually?

Not sure why this is still so hard, but I need to switch between devices my headphones are paired to without having to log in to the old device to turn off that connection.

​

My newborn is asleep on my chest, in the bedroom. I have my phone on me and my headphones are on and in my ears. But the headphones are still connected to my laptop, which I switched to yesterday.

​

How do I get my headphones connected to my phone without getting up to go to my computer and waking up my newborn in the process?

​

This among a myriad other reasons why one/I would want the ability to cycle through available connections and/or make my headphones drop the current connection and/or never auto connect to some devices as I decide.

ETA: Newborn woke up, finally. By the time this is made available I wouldn't be surprised if he was already through elementary. But one can hope.

Latching, 1 week old fights the breast?

We are first time parents. Our boy is one week old and he has gotten a lot better at feeding since then once we/mom gets him to actually latch.

​

Problem is, pretty much from the start he has been throwing his hands and arms up in the way when approaching. Once he actually latches and starts feeding his hands and arms relax and he tends to stay there just fine. But pretty much every time he gets close to the breast he seems to resist it. He does it even when he is clearly showing other telltale signs of being hungry. He even does it when switching from one side to the other. We're sure he will figure it out soon, but for now...

Is this common?

How do other parents prevent or work around it?

Is it ok for me to hold his hands out of the way, or is that too intrusive or uncomfortable for him?

Doing this has been making it easier for us, but it feels kind of wrong and mom can't do it on her own.

We are planning on scheduling a follow up with the lactation consultant, but could use some tips in the meantime.

Edit: weird auto-formatted spacing/empty lines

How do I move the All List out of the way?

Having an All list that has to be at the top seems a bit counter to the utility of having lists in the first place, to me at least. But anyway,

Is there any way to move the "All" list out of top spot so that the app defaults to the list I actually care about and need to access most often?

Image search, exclude term with "-"?

Does adding a "-" to exclude certain terms for the search not work for image searches?

What is the alternative?

I'm looking for a lawn irrigation sprinkler head with certain features. When I do an image search the "-fire" modifier doesn't seem to do anything

What is your source for these?

Most if not all the patents should be expired by now... Not trying to start any crazy projects, of course. In fact this is all very much spouse-approved and unlikely to bankrupt me in any way.

"This song does not belong on this playlist"

That's it.

Let us talk to the algorithm. I don't dislike the song. I don't want it to be played with these other ones. You can even take my feedback and run statistical tools on how well it might apply to others, whatever. But what works for other might not be what I want in my listening experience.

I get it that today's engineers and engineering managers have an ego trip going on about not doing menial development anymore. They want to develop the AI that develops the thing the customer wants. Problem is, the customer doesn't want to have some other entity deciding for them what is worthy of putting brain power into or not. I don't want an AI tool that I can't instruct on correcting course when it thinks it is making a good choice that I hate. If it gets it right, sure, most people won't bother giving it feedback, but removing feedback assumes I have agreed to turn my brain off. I haven't. Lumping feedback into a single user action is terrible UX. LET US TALK TO THE ALGORITHM.
