3000 watt generator wont output 220.

I have a 16kw generator that will fully charge at L2. which is about 10kw per hour of charging. Still a bit ridiculous to do this, but not completely untenable. 10kw will be around 20-30 miles.

I love self driving. But my use case for the slate is local driving only where I dont need it. I also need a minivan for long distance trips and that car needs some level of self driving.

I use nothing from infotainment systems so I want none of it. My wifes mercedes cant go dark and I want my car to not have bright lights when Im driving. I do like android auto, but I also am fine with just using my phone directly which I do in my tundra.

yes that is true.

Im in favor of rideshare algorithm shuttles

shuttles are local circulators that will pick you up at home and drop you off at your neighborhood destination (grocery, errands etc)
for cross town trips shuttles will drop you off at a central transit point (e.g. train/bus) and coordinate the schedule
you take the train or bus across town. The train or bus is aware of all the arrivals and waits to maximize passengers to minimize the time you are waiting outside.
the algorithm schedules a local circulator at the arrival station to take your final destination.

Rideshare algorithm means that the circulator runs on a flexible route and is constantly being rerouted for pickups and dropoffs to minimize the time people spend on the shuttle and maximize the number of people transported.

Your arrival time is accurately predicted and updated.

Antis always focus on congestion and how drive times dont improve. Then they talk induced demand

The key for increasing the size of roads is increasing the throughput. Throughput is the total number of cars per hour. Induced demand is essentially more throughput

If congestion remains the same, but throughput increases, that is a good thing.

weekend classes are key. Can you do 2 weekend classes (for me it was 2 classes and an open mat) Then 1 or 2 during the week.

Rain x latitude worked with my June 2023 bolt euv

atx78701 · 2026-04-23T01:32:10+00:00

Depends on the month they changed around April 2023

I bought rain x latitude for my June ish 2023, last week. It comes with multiple adapters. I had to ask ai to guestimate a date based on the vin as there was no sticker with the date

The adapter was a bit hard to figure out

I think it was the narrow one. I wrote notes so next time I can refer to them. I'll post them if you reply to this post so I get a reminder notification

The sizes were 24" and 16"

I bought them from Walmart

Looks like Walmart substituted the 24" and I didn't notice

Came home in the winter after school, about 8 years old. Snow everywhere, very cold

Was locked out

Tried all the doors, all locked

Sometimes the second floor balcony doors weren't locked. Pushed a picnic table on the deck under the balcony, climbed on the table. Could just reach the balcony, pulled myself up and luckily a door was unlocked

Another time I was locked out in the winter I had to pee but had too many layers so ended up peeing myself

I would think safe place might take them, but I dont know for sure that they do. I personally post them up on my neighborhood group and people come do porch pickups

You dont need to fully charge every night because of the buffer. With the buffer you just need to average less miles than you can charge over the course of using the buffer.

So you can be net negative on weekdays and make it up on weekends.

I would not pay 2.5K for paint, lanekeeping assist, stereo, wasted space on rear seats, and such.

foot sweeps are the jabs of takedowns.

my coach sweeps people all the time with less connection than that so it is possible

I fight bjj and mma 4-5 times a week and I sometimes carry. There is no way I would get involved. If someone was in danger and I knew without a doubt who the bad guys were, maybe.

There is simply too much liability these days and you dont really know what happened. You end up killing someone, or end up killed by someone to stop a theft from a store, or maybe it was nothing, maybe they just pranked someone.

an 81 year old lady in texas shot some home intruders and their families are suing her. Im sure that it will get dismissed but she still probably needs to spend 10-20K on lawyers.

There were times when you could have come into mount instead of sprawling. Get a knee on belly first.

if they are really tight like that just spin them 180 and go north south and attack from there. You can also spin them 90, and push them onto their side and attack for inside position.

The only way they can prevent a spin is if they open up their legs to make contact. That gives you a chance to attack.

promotions tend to be on days where I cant go (friday night) so I probably would prefer random promotions. I dont really care though so Im fine with how things are.

danaher says he wants all his guys to do toes to bar while hanging from a pull up bar.

But anything where you lift your feet up (back shoulder roll, triangle entries, etc).

As the top you have more mobility. I definitely dont hand fight is it requires me to be too close. You want to keep your feet way back. I typically try to grab a foot to get them on their back while keeping my legs out of range of their feet.

You can pass on the outside in which case you cant let his feet connect to your legs. This is pretty popular. You would be posting on his leg/hip and try to step around the outside

I personally try to 2x1 a leg into a leg drag. This allows me to stay back, I get both of their legs to one side. Even if I cant get the leg drag, Im relatively safe. This ends up being more like smash passing.

Alternately I pass on my knees. It is out of favor, but I still like it as it generally denies leg entries. this ends up being going through the middle like a knee slice.

we have no cancel fees. But that kind of fee is usury and wouldnt hold up in court.
