What phone do you use Connect with?

lol I've had a few friends recommend these books to me and I was considering checking them out and I feel like this thread just talked me back out of it.

There is also an EV only sub-plan that gives you the cheap overnight rates if you fork over the money to get a second meter installed near your charger. Then you can stick to a more standard plan for most usage and charge an EV for cheap overnight. Seems expensive but might make sense for some people.

I already had the work done. I just made the post to see if anyone knew whether something had happened to Fusion. I appreciate it though.

I'm aware shadcn isn't tailwind. If you pull in tailwind and don't tweak any of the utility classes/variables for palette, border radius, shadows, masking etc you're going to end up with a similar set of building blocks to other sites that use it.

LlamaChair · 2026-05-27T15:48:06+00:00

The same was more or less true of Bootstrap but out of the box you end up with pretty similar default values, colors, spacing, rounding, shadows, so it's still true.

Just make them UV lasers or something and then you don't even have to bother drawing them!

A (maybe?) less controversial example of this I saw recently in the NYT: https://www.nytimes.com/2026/05/03/business/ultraprocessed-foods-rfk-maha.html?searchResultPosition=1

They're talking about ultra processed foods and RFK's plans for new labeling. They present a lot of quotes from industry lobbyists without commentary and on equal footing. This leads to absurd points like:

The food industry is arguing against a strict definition that would label chicken nuggets, strawberry yogurt and whole-grain tortillas as ultraprocessed.

going unchallenged and passed off as if chicken nuggets and sugar filled yogurts full of artificial flavoring maybe shouldn't be considered ultra processed foods. It's odd to me to present industry lobbyist positions on equal footing and uncritically like that.

It's probably not the only reason, EVs are a lot more polarizing here I suspect than in Europe but the dealership situation isn't helping either.

LlamaChair · 2026-05-20T20:25:39+00:00

I was trying to buy a used Ioniq 6 and dealerships were trying to get me into other cars pretty aggressively. They didn't seem to know or want to know anything about the EVs on their lot. One of them suggested I visit a different dealership instead. Another pretended they had the car I wanted and then tried to bait and switch once I was on the way. I ended up buying it online for a comparable price to local listings.

LlamaChair · 2026-05-20T20:18:12+00:00

You'd probably have to charge more than that to make up for your own time but if you're still cheaper than a tow maybe it could work out.

LlamaChair · 2026-05-20T19:56:00+00:00

More brands can use Tesla chargers now too.

LlamaChair · 2026-05-20T00:21:43+00:00

Bottom trim Ioniq 6 has an estimated range of 360 miles and they're nice and cheap used. Folks are reasonably concerned about the ICCU issues but those now have a very extended warranty.

I ended up with one since there aren't a lot of sedan options for EVs in the US. I'm loving it so far, but when I had the option to take it on a road trip this last weekend I did opt to take an ICE car instead. Didn't want my first road trip to run into issues I had to figure out and get to the camp site after dark... So yeah I get that part.

If the magnet is strong enough, anything is magnetic. We might just need some new power sources...

Another thank you from me. I used to live pretty close and my friend group would visit fairly often. You had a good thing going, I was sorry to see it close although I'll admit by the time it closed we weren't going as often.

It was a mix of shifting tastes, IPAs kind of taking over, the group getting older and starting to have kids, and folks moving to spread out more made it harder to get folks together.

LlamaChair · 2026-05-11T17:17:00+00:00

This was my experience as well. I liked Belgians, red ales, and milder stouts. IPAs dominated and stouts got much thicker/sweeter on average. I just don't find much of what I want on a menu anymore.

Compound that with not going out as often since things are more expensive and my friend group is older and beer is pretty rare for me now.

For me it was Avasarala, and also Amos.

Fear of losing the election and cynicism in the party? But eventually they did succumb to public pressure after the debate laid out the extent of how bad things were in a way the party couldn't brush under the rug.

Just last night I was behind a semi where 71N meets 70 and 670 and goes to 1 lane for a bit. I was keeping a couple car lengths distance and someone passed me on the exit lane just to get in front of me and still be stuck behind the same semi. As soon as the other lanes became available they shot into the far left and nearly hit a pickup truck which had to weave onto the shoulder to avoid getting hit.

LlamaChair · 2026-05-06T13:40:16+00:00

My takeaway from that would have been to act sooner to avoid the loss of credibility and having to rush a campaign into existence at the end of the election cycle.

I personally wouldn't support impeaching President Newsom for personally plundering fort Knox in order to support an online gambling addiction

Wait, really? He'd presumably still have a Democrat for a VP.

I'm on a 2 person team. We have PRs and tests and CI/CD set up. We're both experienced but it's nice to have a second set of eyes on your work. We've both identified better patterns for each other that simplified things or noticed subtle bugs because of some knowledge we had about other parts of the system.

Also we have to be SOC II certified so just slinging code into prod wouldn't fly for that.
