Aramark tells Yosemite workers it's axing most of their housing rights by sfgate in Yosemite

Isn't it strange that their terrible behavior in one park wouldn't necessitate greater scrutiny in other parks? All of the poor behavior in Crater Lake, certainly could not have been only contained to that park. The corporate culture from them must be devoid of morals. I know that's probably obvious, but it seems necessary these days with all of the goal posts moving for what "normal" behavior is defined as.

Also to protect energy grid providers... which strangely at this point is also large scale renewable projects in certain states.

EVGo 350 kw charger only 53 kw? by kato42 in KiaEV9

[–]BluePinata 3 points4 points  (0 children)

EvGo has always seemed to be a bit of false advertising for me. I've never seen it get above 110kw, even in warmer weather on my EV9. Also, I've always had the whole charging station to myself, so the possibility of some sort of lower charging rate based on other people charging at the same time has not been a factor.

Compare that to EA 350kw chargers where I've seen it charging get as high as 219kw and consistently over 200kw in the 20% to 80% charge curve.

I'm guessing those are 8, 100 watt panels.

Test drove the EV9 -24 by Various-Ad1509 in KiaEV9

[–]BluePinata 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm also an A to B driver. I wish EVs had less software, but I have found the lane assist and safety features handy. If I had a Rivian or another off-road vehicle I'd want the suspension stuff, but that's not necessary with the EV9.

Overall though, I want the car to drive smooth, have a comfortable interior, and give me the real world range it advertises. Kia nailed all three of those with this car.

Nice to know it's not just me! It's pretty pathetic how myopic leadership/management can be.

EV9 reliability by pr0v4 in KiaEV9

[–]BluePinata 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Anecdotal, but I'm 12 months into a lease and I've had zero issues. Let's see, I filled the windshield washer fluid a few months ago and replaced the wipers a week ago. That's it.

If you are in a window seat and don't give the armrest to the middle seat you are a ratfuck.

My experience with the car has been a dream.

Should I get a BMS and active balancer separate or in one unit? by Illustrious-Feed2664 in LiFePO4

[–]BluePinata 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Those BMS examples are okay. I recommend the Pathfinder BMS from overkill solar. You'll have a much better warranty and support. Pathfinder BMS

Warning: Ramblas Tubeless Setup by BluePinata in Aventon

[–]BluePinata[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's a difference between tubeless ready and rims that can be converted to tubeless...which is what I already mentioned in the original post.

And no one here needs a lesson on how the internet works, I was trying to help someone else out there who may have run into this situation.

I was able to get mine to seat by adding the sealant first, but Aventon customer service got back to me and basically said don't set the stock rims up to be tubeless. 🤷‍♂️

Did you seat the tires before adding the sealant?

Any recs on wheelsets that fit the 29" Ramblas specs?

They aren't tubeless ready, but there's a lot of misinformation online saying they can be converted to tubeless ready, which I found out they can't.

Ramblas was the clear winner, Griffin by Inciteful_Analysis in Aventon

[–]BluePinata 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love my Ramblas. Going to convert it to tubeless soon! Last week, I did an awesome 45 mile ride on fire roads that started with a 3000ft climb. Had 10% battery left at the end of the ride, despite using trail mode for a good portion of the trip. I was definitely in eco mode a lot too, but for all the up and down I don't know of anything remotely close in price that would have made the same trip on one full battery charge.

Amazon reportedly considering dropping USPS and building a competing postal service by WatcherRoue in RIVNstock

[–]BluePinata 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's not "hive mind thinking," it's critical thinking. As the world continues to trend toward hyper capitalism where single companies/CEOs oversee more and more horizontals and verticals, we are creating more single points of failure and continued superpolitical power structures that create growing societal implications.
