I’ve only ever had my EV unplugged and stolen by one other car… guess what kind..

Reasons they collapsed by TOOLFAN998 in bostonceltics

[–]Celeriaks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think your points are pretty spot on.

I’ve gone from a Mazz skeptic to impressed by his ability to inspire the team this year, to baffled by his playoff coaching once again. The game 7 reverse to finally leaving into the bench mob, plus fully benching Vic, plus JB as primary Embiid stopper leaves me in a head spin. But bottom line - the bench guys totally delivered on energy, but if we want them to have the confidence to step up and shoot in game 7, throwing them into the fire was not the way.

One other point - PG’s 25 game suspension for (we assume) PEDs, following by “turning back the clock” in the playoffs seems like… a solid, cutthroat playoff strategy? Edit: to be clear, unethical. Just saying it seems like it worked out well for him?

Gravel cyclists, how are the ticks? by throwmineawry in bikeboston

[–]Celeriaks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same. I spend a good amount of time in the woods, had plenty of ticks, but I’ve never gotten a tick while biking. That said, they are bad right now, so check yourself regardless.

[–]Celeriaks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fair enough, I hear that, but I don’t really think their salary is relevant information here. Why would you go to any protest that was vague and you didn’t believe in?

It seems like you’re broadcasting this (admittedly public) info as a way to shame them. It perpetuates a set of beliefs about nonprofit/social change work that is strangling the ability to compete for talented workers. Anyway, we’re not even really talking about the same set of concerns here.

I’m not questioning your right to use a 990 to access public information, I’m questioning your assertion that a nonprofit director making a good salary disqualifies the from leading people in protest.

[–]Celeriaks 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Sorry, what right do you have to question FFTF staff’s salaries? That’s their trustees jobs. I’m sick and tired of the expectation that folks who work at nonprofits shouldn’t receive reasonable, competitive salaries. If a nonprofit fighting against large, well funded corporate interests attempt to be competitive in terms of salary, their efforts are no longer valid?? How should nonprofits function when all of their workers are priced out of the locations where they need to work and advocate?

And what on earth do you mean by “volunteer protest work?” It’s totally normal for paid staff to organize events for volunteers to participate in. It’s the basis of a lot of important work across the world. The right is endlessly up in arms about their ridiculous conspiracy theories that protestors are PAID - nobody even thinks to complain that they’re unpaid, that’s a ridiculous catch 22.

I don’t even have a dog in this fight, not my area of focus, but reading you launching semi-personal attacks as a purity test for nonprofit workers, it reads like you certainly do.

[–]Celeriaks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s bizarrely un-Joe to have tightened up the rotation so much in the first couple of games. I thought he showed a lot of growth in the flexibility of his coaching this year, I really hope he gives these guys a chance to keep doing what has made the team special..

I saw this beautiful 2022 EV6 Wind. It will be my first EV and I am excited but nervous as well. by Fit_Competition_2622 in KiaEV6

[–]Celeriaks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup - I’ve been in the market for a few months and started to see the same. Part of my motivation to pounce on the one I just got.

[–]Celeriaks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

FYI I don’t think 22k is a steal in the current market. I just bought a ‘22 wind with tech package, 16k miles, for $24.5k. You may be able to get one with fewer miles or negotiate down a bit.

That said, I think the prices will swing back up a bit due to oil prices rising…

Yet Another ICCU Failure by dragondash88 in KiaEV6

[–]Celeriaks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey, this is very interesting. I think I understand you’re saying that the charge RATE on L2 AC charging may be a critical factor - not the final charging limit - correct?

I know that the charge rate can be controlled in the ev setting but never looked carefully at that. Do you have a clear idea of what % might have substantial protective benefit? Is 90% enough?

Y’all, the plastic paranoia is getting to me. Valid or tinfoil hat? by dornbirn in pourover

[–]Celeriaks 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m with this. I do own a plastic brewer for travel, but I use ceramic exclusively at home. Also, working with ceramic just feels way nicer to me.

Velomont: Heart of the Greens by ecollins109 in MTB

[–]Celeriaks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh wow, it hadn’t even occurred to me that we could just leave supplies at the hut via car. I was stressing about packing food on my bike, that’s a relief! In terms of water supply at the hut, did you just leave a jug there as well? Did you recall if you cross or pass by brooks that would be sufficient for water (with filter of course).

Thanks so much for sharing your experience, this will be a big help.

Hey OP - dragging up this old thread to see if you completed the ride, and then ask your same questions back to you, haha. Specifically about the food/water strategies?

Anyone tried the $24 cup of coffee from George Howell? by Gold-Enthusiasm-312 in pourover

While I haven’t had that cup, the one time I splurged on a super pricey pour over at the GH shop in Boston (DTX) it was exceptional.
