Even with rear AC blowing and even on drives as short as ~30 min, my baby's back will sweat and become clammy, which causes her to freak out and scream until the moment she's taken out of the seat.

Is there any way to enable more airflow in the seat back to prevent this? We're starting to avoid driving because it just means endless screaming during the entire trip.

I have a set of Yokohama Avid Ascend GTs, date code 12-2021 and installed not long after. These are on a car that has done about 7,000 miles in that time, often doing a couple of miles every other week, on average.

I purchased new to me wheels that are an inch smaller because I want more sidewall, but will the age+low mileage of the current tires necessitate doing this swap sooner than next year, when the current ones would age out?

TIA

I have saved a number of different lists of different locations and usually include some note in order to contextualize why I saved a certain place. My problem: while it's very easy to visualize all of the *locations* on the map, it's not so easy to search using the information I write in the notes.

Is there any third-party tool that people have found to use that makes this a little bit easier?

About to free up some disk space with clearing old render files and was reminded that the last time I took my current project (and all source files) to a new computer, dozens of Warp Stabilizer clips suddenly needed to re-analyze. Where, if not in the project files, is WS info stored, so I don't delete it?

Several weeks into newborn care and I need to vent about how none of these baby products seem to have been designed with the context of use in mind.

The lauded Baby Shusher, our Spectra breast pump, our white noise machine, and the bottle sterilizer all have buttons or labels that are the same color as the button/surface they're on so that they're completely unreadable in low light conditions you'd find in the middle of the night, when you're trying not to wake a baby.

Thankfully, most can be fixed with a little sharpie to add much-needed contrast, but have no industrial designers ever had children and seen this issue?

In the 25 ST hybrid, I will often set the content inside the right gauge to sure some info that I want, such as MPG stats, only to find that, by starting navigation in Carplay/Android Auto or simply with enough power cycles, that context will be charged to something else without my input, like oil life.

Is there a way to keep the car from changing itself? It's frustrating to make a choice that isn't then respected.

Let's use two common investment funds, VOO and VXUS. VXUS has an ex date this last quarter of 6/18 and a pay date of 6/23.VOO had an ex date of 6/26 and pay date 6/30.

What stops me from putting X dollars into VXUS, getting the dividend, then immediately selling everything and putting the same chunk of money into VOO to get that one?

I've found it's not always easy to find the exact PNs for this car, partly because of the range of options differing between countries, that the 2016 is its own thing, and that such a low-run car came with several interior colors.

What if we gathered a list of miscellaneous parts and, ideally, their variants for the different colors?

I wanted to start with:

For those USDM cars who want to replace the blank switch left of the steering wheel:

77196-SWA-G01ZD (gray, NH643L) or 77302-SZT-G01ZB (black, NH167L)

What's a part that you hunted down and want to make it easier for others to find?

Working on a little car badge display for my wall and I'm stuck deciding between actually getting someone to paint a small rectangular of metal with legit Merlot Mica touch up paint (paint code A1Q) or find a vinyl that gets pretty close. Has anyone found a brand of vinyl wrap that gets pretty close?

I have a spot where bird shit ate through my paint and another where someone keyed my fender which I've tried to repair with touch up paint to no avail. Likewise with some rock chips on the hood.

I know there's special considerations with drying booths and the hybrid battery, but for two sub-square foot areas to touch up, would that even be necessary? Can I do it myself or should I leave it to a shop?

Still waiting for our little one, but I've been driving around with the Aria + Base in the car for a few days and I'm amazed at how noisy it is.

​

Both the back and front base indicators are green, the level bubble is in the right spot for 0-4 mo and I've tested multiple times to be sure the seat is as attached to the base as it can be... but still the front rattles over all kinds of minor road bumps.

​

Is there a solution?
