You’re absolutely right!

Costco is especially infuriating because they do not tolerate anything on the platform before you can start. You also cannot remove anything from the platform before you’ve paid and everything… So you can’t pack as you go, making everything slower and more stressful for everyone. If you even attempt to, the goddamn thing locks up and the clerk has to unlock it for you.

Maybe, I know Teslas are a bit power-hungry when parked.

My wife had to try charging on a 120V outlet last winter. The plug couldn’t even keep up with the battery heating requirements to actually start charging; the battery percentage was going DOWN while plugged in. It was -25°C outside though, so it’s a specific situation, but it’s actually why she had to try to charge; it’s a trip we can easily do without charging in the summer.

I’m gonna have to disagree here, it’s always a guessing game of how many layers of abstraction they’ve used to seemingly avoid writing any implementation code… Can’t put the code related to “bicycles” in the Bicycle class, no, that obviously goes in WheeledDeviceServiceFactoryBeanImpl that’s in the ‘utils’ package.

It’s also frozen at some point which does kill most of the bacteria

Then, nobody says “megagram” - it’s “ton”. So there are quirks to remember.

We absolutely should, though… That and megameters, for car mileage. We always round off to the nearest thousand kilometer anyway.

Well something about 200 kms away will take 2 hours to get there on the highway going 100 km/h…

It’s not as neat as 1 mile = 1 minute at 60mph, but it’s still pretty easy to do the mental math.

My old Odyssey had 18!

I’m 35 and my daughter is 15. When I’ll be 37, 16-year-olds will litterally be younger than my actual kid. This is all kinds of fucked up.

Yeah, mine is a 2024, got it late last summer (Elon’s antics were relatively limited to Twitter at that point…) so it’s way too early to change. My M3 has ~50 more miles of range than your Mach-E and I did need all of it a couple times last winter when it was -20°C. Good to know about the insurance; but I think my next car will probably be a Kia or Hyundai, I really like their offerings in that space. Main reason I didn’t buy one this time was the delivery delays; it was 6+ months here in Qc.

Tesla owner here. Yeah, it sucks.

I live in a rural area without any form of public transit within ~50km, I frequently travel long-ish distances, so I wanted to reduce my carbon footprint by switching to an electric car. After comparing the different options, I went with the one that had the best price / range / charging options / availability for my needs and that happened to be the Model 3 Long-Range.

Fuck me, right?

At this point, I just hope vandals will see my “deport Elon to Mars” sticker before setting mine on fire.

What’s the problem with his age? It’s about time we start to replace the fucking boomers in government.

There’s a lot of problems with Doge, but age isn’t one of them.

Saw them last year with Kamelot, it was an amazing show. I didn’t know them before but I’m a fan now!

I liked Freeland because Russia hates her. I also think she did a good job handling Trump in the NAFTA re-negotiation 4 years ago. Both her and Carney were very good options for Canada, IMO.

pass probably isn’t for you then, unless you find a wrapper or something that lets you put all in one file. I’ve switched to keepassxc as well, I could never get the browser integration to work with pass.

No, only the file contents are encrypted. The file names and folder structure is visible to anyone who has access to the files.

The files themselves can contain a ton of stuff if you want, but the convention is to put the password on the first line and that’s what “pass -c my/file” will copy.

Yeah, my experience with Aqara has been like that: flawless out of the box, pairs quickly with no issues, reports state correctly, all good. Then after a random while (at least a few hours, but within a day) they just drop off the network never to be seen again until I re-pair them.

I even got an Aqara smart plug just to act as a router and pair the Aqara stuff through it, it was better but this time it dropped off after a few weeks. Might’ve been the battery though, it was a temperature sensor in -20°C.

Running a bunch of services here on a i3 PC I built for my wife back in 2010. I’ve since upgraded the RAM to 16GB, added as many hard drives as there are SATA ports on the mobo, re-bedded the heatsink, etc.

It’s pretty much always ran on Debian, but all services are on Docker these days so the base distro doesn’t matter as much as it used to.

I’d like to get a good backup solution going for it so I can actually use it for important data, but realistically I’m probably just going to replace it with a NAS at some point.
