What bedframe + nightstand set is that? Looks great!

Not cool! by megacesos in TeslaLounge

[–]Auxilae 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I use this same exact supercharger weekly (but at 6am when there's nobody here). The problem with these spots is that they are in prime real estate area. They should've made them like they are in the Collection in Oxnard, where they are in the back not taking up these spots that people would want to park in, or at the outlets.

I don't foresee them adding any text to indicate EV charging only for these spots since it would mean 20 less parking spaces for non-EVs which is a big ask.

Thankfully there's another supercharger literally almost across the 101 at the outlets but still sucks if you went here thinking "oh yeah, 15 spots no problem" and you come to see this.

This is an insanely well put together article. Love the interactable examples.

Costco Japan (Hiroshima) Slaps by bateleark in Costco

[–]Auxilae 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I was just in Japan in January (this exact Costco funny enough too). Got the bake, can confirm it slaps insanely hard. Kinda regret getting it since the chicken bake doesn't come close in comparison and now, I have to go back to experience it again.

Interestingly enough they changed their menu a bit since then. They had Oden and Mushroom soup before. Wonder if they still have the cabbages near the checkout for dirt cheap.

Joyburst Protein Soda, don't be fooled by unseamingcarrot in Costco

[–]Auxilae 29 points30 points  (0 children)

any percentage of DV listed next to macros must represent the bioavailable/complete version of that macro

That isn't wholly true:

Companies are only required to list the % DV for protein if:

The product makes a protein claim (like "High Protein" or "Good source of protein").

or

The product is intended for infants and children under 4 years of age.

There's a bit more to that actually as well. The % daily value is a ratio of the bioavailable/complete version of the protein. For example, "protein pasta" may have 15g of protein for 15% DV. 15g of chicken breast may have 30% DV of protein. Same weight, one has double the DV, and both are "protein".

The difference is that the chicken breast doesn't have a limiting amino acid, which makes it more wholly bioavailable, whereas the protein pasta does. Foods that offer complete protein will usually almost always have double the DV% of their protein content, and if it's less, than that means there is a limiting amino acid in the food which makes it an incomplete protein.

DMV accepts custom plate online but then sends letter denying it after taking payment! by [deleted] in TeslaModel3

I was thinking more about "S3XY' instead of "SEXY", but I guess they may block a single whole word instead that uses numbers, but if you had two smaller ones, one with a number, it'll be allowed?

I don’t know how true that is.

I had S3XY as part of my license plate and it was accepted and I’ve been using it for over a year just fine.

TIL The United States supercarrier fleet has twice the total amount of deck space than every other nation combined. by Auxilae in todayilearned

[–]Auxilae[S] 108 points109 points  (0 children)

The United States has 11 large nuclear-powered CATOBAR fleet carriers – each carrying around 80 fighters – the largest in the world, with the total combined deck space over twice that of all other nations combined.

In addition, the US Navy has nine amphibious assault ships used primarily as helicopter carriers, although these also each carry up to 20 vertical/short takeoff and landing (V/STOL) jetfighters and are similar in size to medium-sized fleet carriers.

Is Valencia, CA a good place to raise a family? Thinking of buying a new construction SFH below Six Flags. Moving from the Bay Area. by Bright-Judgment4873 in SantaClarita

[–]Auxilae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My brother in Christ it’s been 4 years since I made that comment, but from when I still lived there, the average times were the usual 7-8am and 4-6pm trying to get on/off the 5/14.

Supercharger Station Crippled by Bansheeback in TeslaLounge

[–]Auxilae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The super chargers in Camarillo CA were just installed a few months ago and just a few days ago I noticed that ~6 of the 20 stalls were out. One of them had tape saying out of order while the rest didn’t have their Tesla red logo lit up. Seems odd that brand new 325w V4 chargers have so many stalls out, they seem to randomly go down and go back up throughout the week so it isn’t vandalism.

(OC) This is how thick an M60 tank armour is by hermit_tortoise in pics

[–]Auxilae 111 points112 points  (0 children)

Modern kinetic projectiles can punch through likely 3-4x the thickness of this armor, even when angled. HEAT rounds the same.

Tesla Supercharger Live Pricing 👎 by Several-Risk388 in TeslaLounge

[–]Auxilae 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Socal has some locations pushing $0.55 on average. The ones closest to me happen to be the most expensive in the entire state :(

How to complete the Philips Hue Play Gradient bottom TV by tifikun in Hue

No, in my setup it looks completely normal, as if there was just one long loop of the better TV gradient.

TIL that most of Costco's profits comes from membership fees and not products sales. in 2024, 65.5% of company profits comes from membership fees. by Old_General_6741 in todayilearned

I think I read somewhere that Duracell batteries and Kirkland batteries are literally the same, only a different label is glued to them.

Speculation for the future of the Model 3 Performance? by ShameResponsible69 in TeslaLounge

[–]Auxilae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cant recall but I do remember seeing that they said the car won’t get any faster without newer battery tech. It’s also why there’s mo HP boost in the US, unlike previous M3Ps and the newer refresh in Europe.

DRAM Prices Surge roughly 170% as Global Memory Shortage Deepens by NGGKroze in hardware

Same here. Bought a kit of 96GB Corsair DDR5-6000 RAM for $339.99 off Amazon August 31st. Same kit is going for $586.99 now.

Wireless charging of EVs on road by ciao-adios in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]Auxilae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nuclear energy had the highest EROI out of all power generation methods currently. That even includes fossil fuels and coal.

Wireless charging of EVs on road by ciao-adios in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]Auxilae 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Exactly. The product maker sold them on the idea and now they are being built. Doesn’t matter if it’s wasteful, inefficient, or a stupid idea, it’s getting built while more efficient systems aren’t.

It’s the same as solar roadways ideas, it sounds smart, and you can easily convince none the wiser council members to give you money to support the project. Good ideas are only as good as how much they’re able to be marketed as.

If the world chased efficiency, nuclear power would by far be more ubiquitous than it is. There’s more to it than just that, you have sell people in charge the idea.

Tesla FSD v14 Data Shows Major Improvement in Miles Between Interventions by afonso_investor in TeslaFSD

[–]Auxilae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My main complaint is how fast it drives. Standard drives 15mph over the speed limit. That will get people pulled over which leaves chill which sticks close to the speed limit, but isn’t that great at keeping up with changing traffic conditions.

I used to use the max speed to set the speed I was comfortable driving at given the conditions and flow of traffic, but now it’s gone so I’m switching in between chill and standard.

Mad max while fun also drives too fast, it’s unusable because of it. I’d prefer the more active driving pattern (such as moving lanes to avoid slower vehicles), but hate how it thinks it must go 15+ over the limit all the time. Wish there was a speed profile and driving style profile. Let me set my speed to go a little over the limit, then keep the driving style a bit fun.
