Hearing the contactors drop out after ~12 minutes, and pumps stop a few seconds later brings great appreciation for @tesla and the team that added the “Low Power Mode” option a few month ago. Thank you! 🙏 You’ve saved “Campert” as a camper. I now sleep in peace with the

Latest good read: “the degree that you are habituated to experiencing life through certain parts of yourself that you are identified with and can't experience life through other parts of yourself, you're not free. You've lost the full range of your free will.” An Introduction

Grateful for the deluxe off-road tire plug kit tonight. 30 minutes working on the side of the road sure beats waiting for a tow truck and then being stuck at a tire shop all night. I bought the kit for rocky desert roads, didn’t really imagine I’d be using it on the side of the

For sake of accuracy, I’m not 100% sure that it fully activated before I passed through an area of minimal service. Now definitely activated.

Reassuring to have emergency 911 out here hiking remote Death Valley. I just activated this on my unlocked iPhone 13 on @RedPocketMobile while beyond cell service in Death Valley. I have Starlink at camp, was able to verify my Google Voice txt number and install the free

Tesla put considerable effort into this and now far outshines any other automaker on ease of DIY repairs. Combined with needing less service than others is another reason Tesla is clearly the best car.
Every Tesla is designed for minimal maintenance & you can quickly perform many of them on your own Swing by your local Service Center to pick up essential parts or order via https://t.co/uGySJ7arYG to have them shipped to your home

🗳️ Updated the table of my votes to eliminate proposals #15 (political neutrality policy) and #16 (Computershare), as the SEC accepted these to be excluded, they don't show up in the definitive proxy filing. Also added required votes, and if Elon and Kimbal can participate.
🗳️ 1/19 Here my votes in this year's proxy. You will find in the comments three arguments for each decision.

The Infinite Scroll and the Sacred Lie The world is loud now. Loud in the way that a room full of TVs all tuned to different channels is loud, not a sound you can actually hear but a kind of psychic tinnitus that hums behind your thoughts, fuzzes the edges of your soul. This is

Building codes are a silent scourge on society. Many people think they're for safety, and some small portion of the code is, but the rest is for enforcing a rigid aesthetic, selling building materials, contractor convenience, and pure superstition. The safety track record isn't
One of the most starkly clear takeaways from all my travels is this: Genuine human culture cannot withstand intensive, granular regulations on how people build things. Wherever there are codes, laws, permits, and so on, a place is effectively curated like a museum, or preserved.

GE hasn’t made the Elec-Trak garden tractor in decades, so when someone offers another one for parts, I admit it’s hard to pass up. The one in front runs very well and will soon get an electronic drive controller from the latest donor.

Nice overview of Gas vs EV. As usual for Robert's videos I wish it was more precise and had references. That said, I think the basic concept is sound and these reasons (plus the Oil Wars) are why I drive electric, have solar and provide a public EV charging station at my home.

Battery tester creation still works 15 years later! In 2009 I needed to test hundreds of cells cheaply. I made a precision 30 Amp analog load with latching voltage limits. 100W of heat is dissipated by a large MOSFET on cheap pentium heatsink. Board powers the clock when the

Very strange article, an excellent example of confirmation bias. He blames H2s fall on group buy-in, despite stating the real reason: “The round-trip efficiency remained poor. The cost per kilogram remained stubbornly high. The competition, particularly from electrification,
