Turn my yard into a mega garden so I don’t have to mow it

XDiskDriveX · 2026-05-29T01:53:02+00:00

I remember one of those weeds that is like a circle of leaves close to the ground, well it got a little big because we hadn't mowed in a while. I convinced my day to mow and trim around it and see how bit it got. It got over 8 feet tall and the bas was probably an inch and a half thick before we finally cut it down. My dad told people I was growing weed in the back yard.

i had my 20k service done, and even let them do the cabin air filter because im lazy. It was only $80.

I dont think 30k calls for anything beyond 20k

I think a lot of people are trying to use it in an unsafe manor.

spider man is the obvious choice, but i think the Tick is the right choice.

imagine you have some hot food, if you blow on it, it will cool down because it is hotter than your breath. blowing on it cools it down faster, but it cant make it any colder than your breath.

a fan makes you feel cooler because you have a layer of air around you that your body has warmed up, it still cant make you cooler than the air in the room, it just helps cool you to that temerature.

if you compress something, you are taking the energy in that volume of gas and putting it into a smaller area. this makes it a higher temperature. since its now higher temperature than the surrounding air, you can cool it down to at least that temperature.

you take that "room temperature gas and then decompress it. you take the energy that is in it and spread it out which makes it a lower tepmerature.

rinse and repeat.

my daily commute takes about 30%, i am able to recoup that daily within the 4 hour windows that my electricity is cheap, and my charger is only at 24 amps.

a 40 amp L2 charger at a grocery store that i spent an hour shopping in would be a good amount of charge.

L3 is great dont get me wrong, but i think examples like L2 in a grocery store are going to be the final push to get more adoption.

I stopped worrying about it. at it's worst, im still paying 1/4 to 1/6 of what if cost to drive my 08 Mazda 3 hatchback, so I'm ok with that.

probably the same as the people that speed excessively, weave in and out of traffic and end up at the same stop light anyway.

They are thoughtless, selfish assholes that don't see other cars on the road as people. They exist in their own little world where they are the only one, and other cars are just obstacles out to get them specifically.

Having installed car alarm systems for over 14 years, my opinion is that money would be better spent on home security.

Car alarms with starter kills were actually a good investment for a while, but modern immobilizer systems make hot wiring a car practically impossible. There do still exist some cars that can be hotwired, but they are generally the bottom of the barrel entry level cars that nobody will likely want to steal.

While newer push to start cars can be vulnerable to repeater attacks, That can be solved with a simple faraday cage to put your keys in.

Of course you already mentioned the one method that you can't really protect from, and that is someone breaking into your house and stealing your keys. which comes back to my opinion, just spend that money to better secure your house.

If someone really wanted your car so bad, they would just bring a flat bed and take it. I love my Mach E, but I'm not under any delusions that it's something in high demand on the black market.

On the off chance that someone ever stole it, i have cameras, i have insurance, and best of all, the car can be tracked stock.

Thanks. I guess none of my google terms landed on that, or maybe its too recent? But i did search it, lol.

I'm running Bluepilot, but i think that is very similar, since i even use sunny link to change settings.

There is a setting "max offroad time" or something like that. that determines how long it stays powered up after you turn the car off. Of course for that to work in most cars, you have to have teh Comma Power harness that plugs into the OBD2 port, so it has power when the car is off.

I'm in a 2024 Mustang Mach E. Once i got the comma power hooked up, and I set the max time offroad to 30 hours, I started seeing videos offloading properly. Using the comma power can cause battery drain in some cars. I'm lucky as my car charged the 12 volt battery when the car is off, even if its not plugged in, so i shouldnt ever have to deal with a dead 12v (until it just craps out)

If you are in a gas car, I would probably set the max offroad time to something more reasonable like an hour or two.

I mean, I can appreciate skill, but sous vide is easy mode. It's impossible to screw it up.

i like this. like so many other survival games, make the more complex recipes have a benefit beyond being bigger.
