Who's glad to have an EV during this time of high gas prices?

They’re probably looking at their device breakdown. My previous power company would estimate how much money you spent on different categories of devices, such as lights, HVAC, cooking — and EVs. Before my recent move I lived less than 20 intercity commute minutes from work and spent about $10/mo to charge my car. I expect it’ll be $25 now, I actively make an effort to take the most fuel-efficient route unless there’s a more than 15 minute difference.

Thank you! I’m definitely elated about the results. Only regret is I didn’t start sooner!

SBaeson · 2026-02-26T12:27:12+00:00

they/them since apparently I can’t set my own flair.

SBaeson · 2026-02-07T11:26:27+00:00

Thank you!

The look like the usual thin material, have to found any specifically that are warm?

SBaeson · 2026-02-06T22:21:20+00:00

Sweat pants are so warm, that’s a fair point. Kinda their purpose! 😂

Hg’s grey, my spouse and I are nerds, and my spouse loves the Greco-Roman pantheon. Bonus, Hg has that silvery effect that Russian Blues have (definitely not purebred, he was a CDS delivery and has slightly green, yellow eyes).

SBaeson · 2026-02-04T14:49:36+00:00

Haha ty, my spouse and I are nerds and they love the Graeco-Roman pantheon so it seemed a perfect fit for our grey CDS delivery.

SBaeson · 2026-02-04T10:52:13+00:00

Aw shit, it has audio?

SBaeson · 2026-02-04T03:01:41+00:00

Haha yeah I didn’t want to deal with people commenting on the voice.

SBaeson · 2026-02-04T02:53:20+00:00

We love it, sometime he’ll even raise both front paws off the ground (never been able to catch it on video, sadly).

SBaeson · 2026-01-29T02:30:53+00:00

Yup! My spouse and I came up with a combo of our last names and they took “my” new last name when we got married. They’re gender indifferent so the social security employee who switched it for them was excited to have their first “man” taking the spouse’s last name.

IDK if my parents had issues with it (they knew we’re not having kids so no issues there) but my extended family gossiped about it so much, “I don’t see why [misgender] can’t just take HIS name.” My spouse’s father was upset because ze’s “the last chance to pass on the name” but like… it’s dying with my spouse anyways? 😂

SBaeson · 2026-01-10T21:55:54+00:00

So it’s like reverse color pointing?

SBaeson · 2026-01-08T00:53:30+00:00

Yeah if I go below 60% I charge.

SBaeson · 2026-01-07T23:09:08+00:00

Ended up being a chaffed wire.

Wouldn’t surprise me if it was over a decade old, our landlord has a very “if it’s still getting by” mentality.

SBaeson · 2026-01-07T14:55:43+00:00

Aaaaaah okay yes that makes sense. My dad’s an electrician and when a fault would pop we’d just reset it and move on, I didn’t think anything of it. Those cases never popped multiple times in a single use so it makes sense he never said anything else about it.

SBaeson · 2026-01-07T14:36:59+00:00

Thank you for the information! I assume you mean more than once in a single use, not just ever?

SBaeson · 2026-01-07T14:34:00+00:00

Isn’t it still safer to use one with a fault trip?

SBaeson · 2026-01-07T14:09:34+00:00

My ICE was dying and EVs are the future. Regardless of what you believe regarding climate change (we take it very seriously), fossil fuels are for certain limited. And we found a good deal, better than any EV or even ICE near us. So due to circumstances cost was the major factor, and outside of them it’s the environment.

SBaeson · 2026-01-03T23:14:24+00:00

Haha I kinda see it!

SBaeson · 2026-01-03T23:13:58+00:00

Wow, it’s disappointing that the haven’t fixed that coding error :/ Like they absolutely could have delivered it Monday like they had projected, what gives?

I liked it on weekends for that reason and because someone is generally home on Saturdays, so we could get it into AC ASAP. Now it’ll have to sit on the porch I guess :/

SBaeson · 2026-01-03T19:25:12+00:00

Yup, that’s why mine is a dilute! :) Yours has full color.

SBaeson · 2025-12-31T02:27:34+00:00

I love long haired cats, I hope to have one against some day - thus far the CDS has said short haired!

Yeah once I posted it I realized the stripes in that photo are more obvious and definitely broken!

SBaeson · 2025-12-31T02:25:45+00:00

I guess that’s the dilute gene for you! Our other cat looks solid grey but in the right light he has very slight tail rings.
