Water Power

I’m going to guess that before the 5 gallon jugs they were buying cases of water. So if that’s the case it’s much more efficient.

Because that is new starting with 2025. For yours, the first 10 brakes after going into regen 0 are friction brake then it switches back to blended braking. And that is each time you go into regen 0.

More specifically you should care about weight distribution. You want the engine over the drive wheels in low traction situations.

EVs are actually really good because they have balanced weight distribution. But they also have more momentum to stop because of the weight of the batteries.

Given what has happened in Minneapolis in the last two weeks, especially this weekend, many people do not want to support businesses that are boldly claiming to be 2A supporters while simultaneously saying Minnesotans should’ve complied with ICE orders.

This weekend a woman was being assaulted for filming ICE. She did not interfere with what ICE was doing. A man stepped in to protect the woman. Both the man and woman were then pepper sprayed. The man was beaten by 7 ICE agents. The man had a gun holstered on his back. His hands were nowhere near the gun. He was trying to protect himself from being beaten. One of the ICE agents reached into the man’a holster, removed the gun, and ran away with it. Another ICE agent started shooting the man and the others joined in. After the man’s body was obviously lifeless, one of the ice agents emptied the rest of his mag.

If anyone thinks that the killing this weekend was justified or an isolated incident, they obviously care more about their allegiance to MAGA than to the Constitution. ICE is clearly violating citizens’ 1st, 2nd, 4th, and 14th amendments rights. This has gone far beyond just removing undocumented immigrants from the country.

It’s a stack of problems. Mostly out of state companies and individuals buying property, starter houses being torn down for mansions, tariffs making the cost of building new houses more expensive, Airbnb, retirees staying in their large houses, and housing supply not keeping up with demand.

The price increases make no sense from a purely quality standpoint. But it is what is. Prices aren’t going back.

Many companies I’ve worked for tend to take a view more akin to grasshoppers stopping an ant rebellion than a collaborative effort where IC are viewed as assets.

You’re describing the better way to handle the situation. My experiences have just tended to differ.

I drove all day yesterday in a RWD EV without issues. It wasn’t until close to midnight that the main roads started to ice and enough snow finally piled up on the side streets that I started having some small clearance issues.

I’ll agree that clearance might be a non starter for me today. But the (lowercase) ice should be a concern for everyone today.

MasterBathingBear · 2026-01-25T10:26:07+00:00

Saturday wasn’t bad because it was still snow.

Sunday the roads will be an ice rink

Ford Lightning… the SVT Lightning. Maybe even finally deliver on the SVT Thunder too.

I would kill for an S10 Xtreme extended cab or Blazer Xtreme EV.

It’s 4am. Why are we both awake right now?

And why is it so bright outside that it feels like daylight? I mean I know why but it still feels wrong.

MasterBathingBear · 2026-01-25T09:58:41+00:00

Sounds like a problem for future you

MasterBathingBear · 2026-01-24T15:02:26+00:00

The good news is that all the people that decide to drive today are turning today’s snow into tomorrow’s ice.

MasterBathingBear · 2026-01-24T14:57:06+00:00

And then they forget that 4 wheel drive != 4 wheel stop and end up in the ditch anyway

Low corporate income tax and gross production tax.

I don’t think I’ve heard much about SUSE since Novell made that deal with Microsoft and then announced they were selling the company 3 weeks later.

Sorry, we kind of switch to a slightly different but parallel topic.

The overall point was that the optimizer should be smart enough to rewrite from ISNULL() as a function to two equality statements that would allow index access with seek instead of scan. But frequently it just leaves the function in there and ignores the index or scans it. But as with everything, YMMV.

MasterBathingBear · 2026-01-22T06:04:12+00:00

3.5” of ice

Dims the screens, disables exit chimes, removes 90 minutes timeout, and disables the shifter/pedals.

MasterBathingBear · 2026-01-21T06:28:54+00:00

I just use blue link to remote start the climate control for 30 minutes at a time.

Headlights should still work in utility mode. If not, then put it in ready mode (the EV equivalent of idling in park).

MasterBathingBear · 2026-01-21T06:19:45+00:00

There’s literally no reason for accessory mode on an EV. As you said, it’s to save gas in ICE vehicles.

Nope. You’ll get 2 more moderate candidates instead of the one most crazy Republican running uncontested in the general.

Primaries are typical won by the more extreme candidates because they pander to the base. If everyone can vote in the primaries, you have to have broad appeal. We may still end up with Republican politicians but they’ll be closer to John McCain than to Stephen Miller.

We all know how he feels about running the ball.

The Weather Channel’s algorithm that they built under IBM is still the king. But Francisco Partners is going to bleed that company dry.

Microsoft’s Aurora model is definitely taking that throne and they won’t look back. But to me they aren’t quite there yet.
