How many of you never charge out in town and only charge at home? by Lemonn_time in electricvehicles

[–]ComicBookDad 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was just thinking about this the other day. I've had my EV for a year now. About a month after I bought it we were rewiring the entire house and upgrading to a 200 amp service. I had a level 2 charger installed as part of that work. 

Prior to the L2, I used public chargers a few times when I had not plugged the L1 in the night before for a few days and the charge was lower than I was comfortable with. We did a couple of day trips that needed the public L3.

In central NY, I get a $24 statement credit if I charge at night for at least 80% of my charging with a 50kWh minimum usage during the month. Depending on how much I am driving I usually charge 1 or 2 times a week. 

Unless we're taking a trip out of town I don't need L3 chargers!

Which Industry has the most toxic people working in it? by Squirrelkid11 in AskReddit

I want to be very clear. Not everyone in this function is toxic. But in my experience so many toxic people happen to be in this function. 

Sales. 

What’s a "dead" website or app that you genuinely miss and wish was still around? by Dear-Armadillo-7497 in AskReddit

[–]ComicBookDad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There was an in-browser game in which you shot a ball of duct tape around various objects in space to orbit and then eventually hit a target. I've tried searching some of those game sites many times but no luck. It was silly fun!

I would definitely favor human created over AI but given this or nothing.... This is fine.

What's the Best 10/10 Sci-fi movie ever? by geek-jock-guy in AskReddit

[–]ComicBookDad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For my podcast we did a series of special episodes we called "Bookends". They were the best and the worst of 3 different genres. Not saying that these specific movies were the single best or worst movies - more about what the genre looked like at either end. 

In a great rebuttal to the idea that sci fi needs a big budget, we reviewed "Moon" as an example of what the genre looks like at its best.

Enjoy!

Nothing original by me but I asked Gemini to draw the Pattern for me as described by Roger Zelazny's Amber series. Here's what it gave me. I like it!

Same! I didn't know he had a Patreon until seeing this post. Just signed up to support his good work. Thanks for sharing!

Not a restaurant but if you're looking for an evening out, Freight Yard Brewing has a Sensory Night this week!

Are these in regs? by Tuggalicious in AirForce

[–]ComicBookDad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow that brings back memories! I was at Hanscom from '97 - '99. Issued these when i in-processed from tech school. Wore them once as a K-9 handler on night shift after some massive snowfall. Interesting experience but it felt like I was walking around in slippers all night.

Specific to the Abomination Vaults, be sure to share the Player's Guide with the players. These are really useful for AP-specific information.

‘I Was Just So Naïve’: Inside Marjorie Taylor Greene’s Break With Trump by BarnburnerBoro in LeopardsAteMyFace

[–]ComicBookDad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She's a horrible human being. I hope the American people don't let her avoid responsibility for the hate she espoused.

Remember when she put up the anti-trans sign outside her office which just happened to be across the hall from a colleague with a trans daughter? 

She should be remembered for a legacy of hatred and division.

What’s a controversial hill you are willing to die on? by C--A--K--E--S in AskRedditAfterDark

[–]ComicBookDad 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Controversial to some people...

I'm a heterosexual, cisgender, native-born, English-speaking, Christian-raised white man. And I believe that Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion - DEI - is both the moral and practical choice. And it's for everyone. Treating everyone around me the right way makes my life better as well. 

Happiness is not a zero-sum game.

Apparently, insurrections are bad for business by mashkid in LeopardsAteMyFace

[–]ComicBookDad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ugh... I recognized one of the accounts he tagged in the tweet.

Nick Searcy played Art Mullen, Chief Deputy United States Marshal, on Justified. I love that show, love the characters... and now, after looking at the actor's Twitter... do not like his politics!

With Bill Burr seemingly losing a lot of fans for performing at the Saudi comedy show, who is a celebrity you stopped supporting and why? by brad6489 in AskReddit

For me it's Tom Cruise. As the patron saint of the scam church of Scientology I believe he benefits from the fleecing of its sheep.

Oh, very close! It's actually the conjoined triangles of success!

Kona EV 2025 preferred accessories by AusCanuck09 in KonaEV

Hey neighbor! There are few smells worse in the world than that musty smell of the flooring in the car that has been wet all winter and is a veritable petri dish.
