I am curious if my Niro's AC behavior indicates an problem or is normal for these cars.

The AC works and blows cold air (down to around 60 F) for a while, then the sound will change and it will start blowing warm air. It is like the AC unit shuts off leaving only the fans on. Most of the time this will only last for maybe a few seconds, then the sound changes back and it blows cold air again. There are times when it will last much longer, for a few minutes or more. Especially on hot days.

It was even worse when I first purchased it (used former lease with around 42k miles) and the dealer did replace something (I think it was the compressor or related to the compressor) under warranty a few months after purchase, after which it improved, but it has been slowly getting worse over time.

Today seemed especially bad, so I tried to test this using a laser thermometer, which made me realize that it tends to happen more when the car is moving. Just sitting still it didn't happen as much.

The car has just over 50k miles.

Anyone else experience this?

Inspired by a post in r/wikipedia, I am looking for good Ray Bradbury audio books. Any recommendations? I am trying to avoid older, low quality recordings if possible. ​

As the title says, I have an old Ibanez RG 220 B and I just found the neck cracked near the headstock. I was never happy with this guitar, and I am wondering how hard the fix would be, and if it is worth it. I figure just replace the neck, if I can. It is a bolt on neck, but I have no idea what I might be in for. Would it take a lot of tweaking to make it playable again? Any advice? I am thinking about just letting it go, since I have too many things as it is.
