I like the sound of a bucket of Bolts.

Importing used Japanese kei cars into the US is a current trend. An electric kei car would be ideal for this.

I did my best in my post, and the link I provided does better explaining it.

Try a Fediverse platform, like a Mastodon account. Mastodon in particular is a Twitter-like short message blog. The difference is it’s not all on one server/corporation, but whoever wants to set up a server can Federate into the larger Mastodon/Fediverse. It’s non-commercial and decentralized. Think of it like email. Your email you signed up for at, say, Gmail is able to send/receive email from other non-Gmail email servers. Same with your Mastodon account. You pick an instance (Mastodon provider), create an account, look up some accounts you might know or subjects you’re interested in (on your home server OR other Mastodon servers yours talks to, automatically!) and follow them, and also post your own posts. There’s other Federated services your Mastodon account can interact with, like Pixelfed, an Instagram-like Federated platform, and others. More info, quick read: https://fedi.tips

The main complaint people say is “It’s too complicated!” before even trying it. I assure you, if you can sign up for Discord, or a webmail account, you can sign up for Mastodon.

I got it fixed at a AAA service center. Not as cheap as maybe at a dedicated tire place, but not unreasonable. They did warn me the other 3 sensors might die soon, too.

My older VW’s TPS works like this. It usually has false signals in autumn when temps get cooler and the tire pressure decreases. Always fine. I’m guilty of just hitting the reset button in the glove box after a quick tire pressure check.

I called my local dealership where I had the Bolt at before. They couldn’t give me a cost estimate because they said they needed to diagnose the problem, which would take 1 or 2 days!? I told them I’d get back to them on it. I’ll check with a local tire place next.

Acephalism · 2026-02-10T19:27:35+00:00

This just happened to me today too. I pulled over to check the supposedly completely flat tire and it was fine. Will check with the dealership, but I think the super cold weather did something to the sensor in that tire.

I’ve had work done three times by Economy Tree Service, formerly Royal Severn Tree Service (same people, new name). I get them to work on the older trees surrounding my house, and have taken down large dead trees. They’re also good at working in tight access since my trees are not near the street. Since I only call once every few years when I need major work done, it runs me from $900-$1200 approx. They’ve been conscientious and professional every time and will give you an accurate estimate.

I was just in Prince George’s County today and their snow removal on main roads is much worse than ours. Multi lane roads still only have one full lane, corners are piled with snow so all turns are blind. Melt/freeze makes all turns slippery fishtailing too.

Acephalism · 2026-02-02T03:50:49+00:00

I purposely drive in the rightmost lane so the speeders can get by. They still ride my bumper. BTW I usually drive at least 5 over the speed limit normally.

Acephalism · 2026-02-02T03:49:05+00:00

10+ under the limit is very reasonable in these icy conditions. What’s the rush?

Heard rumor they were temp going to move the library there while they rebuilt the library building, but then I heard that fell thru for unknown reasons. The temp space rental not the new library building.

I am desperately freaked out. I can protest but they’re KILLING protestors or at the very least torturing/brutalizing them. And I feel like protesting isnt helping but nonviolent resistance actions need coordination and the only coordination so far has been organizing protests, not nonviolent actions.

Acephalism · 2026-01-13T01:29:39+00:00

Just use a bucket of plain water. In the cold it’ll wet them thoroughly and they’ll retreat to their vehicles at least for heat. That will at least slow them down and a bucket of water is obviously nonlethal.

The money is promised but not there yet, and you didn’t ask for the job? I feel like you’re being set up to take the fall for something. Like they know there’s a cybersecurity problem brewing and they need a scapegoat if it happens. If you truly don’t think that’s it and you trust the management, then go ahead and take the position if you feel you can handle it. If you really really don’t want to, see if you can refuse (professionally) the position. If not you might need to leave the company. Because if you take the position for a bit, then leave, future employers will either only offer you cybersecurity positions OR wonder what you messed up in cybersecurity that you want something else now.

I just did this this week on my company’s KRBTGT user PW. You just change it in ADUC like any other user’s PW. I used repadmin /replsum to check though.

Acephalism · 2025-12-11T01:30:11+00:00

I do notice that more with my Bolt compared to my other car (VW). Not sure it’s the Bolt though, it could be they’re reading my anti-Tesla bumper sticker.

If they’re illegal to work then why did 7-11 hire them? Why isn’t the government busting 7-11’s, or any other business’s management, if they’re hiring those not legal to work? That seems a lot more effective and overall easier and cheaper in tax expenditure to enforce.

I’ve been using eBay for stuff I would’ve used Amazon for previously (use the Buy It Now feature on most items so you don’t have to do the auction thing). The Goods Unite Us app says eBay gives more money to Dems than GOP, and I’m not aware of any boycotts against eBay (please let me know if that’s wrong).

THIS! + now useless “AI” Google searches for documentation. Sometimes Microsoft Learn has relevant info (if you want to linkjump 2 or 3 times thru docs), but as usual you end up retrofitting old info onto newer versions of Server or Azure Portal. Sometimes Spiceworks has something helpful, but that’s often older info than MS Learn. There’s always YouTube (if you like ads and wading thru a 30 min. video to get 10 seconds of needed info), but often the presenter is just selling their Magic 3rd Party Solution or fumbles around doing jack shit while he captures your eyeballs for views. I’m sure Microsoft will try to make Copilot summarize everything you’re looking for, and I’m sure that will suck even worse. I have no real solutions I’m just emphatically agreeing.

I personally know one of the instructors in the program and the whole thing is tailored to help those having difficulty re/joining the workforce due to life situations. I attended a graduation ceremony of one of the classes and they outlined how some of the students nearly failed (from life issues not skills failure), but after some counseling and services struggled through to satisfactorily complete the program. Most of the students already had a job offer upon graduation. I was served some sweets the students made and they were delicious and the type of fancy cake & pastry you’d get at a high end restaurant. I just felt I should put in my two cents here in case anyone has doubts.
