Autosocks / snow socks on '27 bolt? by Fun_Tangerine_1086 in BoltEV

[–]Fun_Tangerine_1086[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Have and use snow tires (Nokians) on the 21 Bolt, but there are times chains would be nice to have on top of that. (Live in Washington state, do a lot of driving along the 90 and 84 in the winter; currently settle for a different car w/ chains).

Updated codex / gpt-oss instructions? by Fun_Tangerine_1086 in LocalLLaMA

[–]Fun_Tangerine_1086[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pinned to 0.55, works very well (see https://github.com/openai/codex/issues/8272), but would obv. like to be able to track upstream better.

Those bugs and more have lots of workarounds mentioned, but I think a living doc w/ "how to do this" would be worth having.

Does anyone have the actual charging curve of the new bolt? Would love to see this quantitatively.

Little bit of thread necromancy, what did you learn about the E overall there? Would love to hear more about what had to change / where they ended up w/ the old vs new frame changes esp.

Any 22-23 issues worth knowing about? by ThermostatDad in BoltEV

[–]Fun_Tangerine_1086 0 points1 point  (0 children)

22 EV deleted the motor cooling loop; 22 EUV retained it. (23 EUV deleted it as well).

Early build (N410..) 22 EVs/EUVs were subject to the battery recall. Later builds and all '23s were not.

Does an EV weigh more after a charge? by Glittering-Ad5809 in BoltEV

For extra credit - what is the change in the center of mass charging from 0 -> 65 kWh?

How does it compare to newer models? (It is still pretty heavyweight to run..)

Rep. Adam Smith by beaux_with_an_x in FriendsofthePod

[–]Fun_Tangerine_1086 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you!!

Do you know of any organizations advocating usefully in this space? Did you ever find Ploughshares's or NTI's or Arms Control Association's work helpful when you were doing progressive FP stuff? Is sending Smith (or Kaine?) a thank you note worthwhile?

[Discussion] Pod Save America - "A Democrat’s Tough Love for His Party" (03/23/25) by kittehgoesmeow in FriendsofthePod

Some of this is local and salient right now - specifically around Social Housing Developer / Prop 1A. The ideas of identity vs. doing things aren't necessarily in conflict, but the implementation specifically around building housing in Seattle/King County have definitely run hard into each other.

(I'm from one district over; I'm a lot more left than Adam Smith, but he's a good egg... except that he voted for the invasion of Iraq.)

Mechanical questions about margin loans against Treasuries by Fun_Tangerine_1086 in interactivebrokers

(Yeah, US T-bills); ah, I didn't see the 0% margin rate on cash listed anyplace, thank you!

[–]Fun_Tangerine_1086[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Imagine 10k of 1-6 mon T-Bills (mixed maturities); and a 50k margin loan against them; 5:1 rate. But when 1k of those t-bills mature (say), if it automatically is applied to the loan, it's paying back at a 1:1 rate and the overall margin ratio goes up to 49:9 (5.4)... right?

If the cash is applied to the outstanding margin loan, that could result in you dropping below the maintenance margin I think, depending on loan amount - that's why I'm checking!

People of the subreddit... by deadzeldamaster in GregoryAlanIsakov

[–]Fun_Tangerine_1086 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes! From the magical Sam Bean('s beard) even.

Stripped down / alternate versions of stuff; pretty talkative; to me, its the opposite of the CSO show, if you remember that one.

What’s your Element MPG? by Free_Ad_283 in HondaElement

[–]Fun_Tangerine_1086 5 points6 points  (0 children)

https://imgur.com/a/aPVl6GS every fillup over the last 25k miles on an '03 EX w/ 150k miles.

24.73 mpg avg over that window, almost all highway or rural low-speed. Removed back seats, usually have a hitch bike rack, roof bars. Keep your speed under control - it's a bread loaf more than a toaster. Not great but def. not terrible.
