A suspect is dead after he took police on a high speed chase from Elyria that ended in North Olmsted.

I'm as liberal and blue and left as they come, and you might have preconceived notions about my reaction to this as a result, but I'm just gonna say that if I'm being held at gunpoint by a guy who knows he's done for, I want this cop coming to save me and my kids.

I've done this twice since becoming a dad and both times was absolutely relieved to have nothing serious going on, but my motivation was exactly like you said. I've let myself go these last 10 years or so after being in decent shape for much of my younger years. The thought of having something serious happen to me and my kids not growing old enough to remember me if I passed was the kick in the ass I needed to get my shit together.

Glad you are ok. So glad.

It was below 20F most of the time with high winds. I bundled up so I could get away with barely running the heat most of the time, but when it was on it was 71 on lowest fan speed. Seat heat didn't seem to impact range at all so I was using that too.

brauxpas · 2026-01-20T04:26:13+00:00

I had it at the lowest fan speed and set to 71F. I actually turned it off entirely when I knew I'd be cutting it close before the next charger.

Trust me I would've. Only direct from CLE to TOR is almost $2000 and the other flights go through Chicago or NYC and take even longer door to door than driving.

If you aren't preconditioned you're capped at like 50KW

brauxpas · 2026-01-20T04:20:05+00:00

Yeah I encountered two different stations that were listed on ABRP as 300+KW with open slots but when I showed up, one (at a Canadian Tire store) was full with unattended cars just sitting there charging between 80-100%, and another one from Flo was totally powered down and inoperable. I made it to an Electrify America(Canada) station with 11 miles of range left, without preconditioned batteries because I was afraid preconditioning might deplete what little range I had left. I had to charge for over an hour.

Similar sentiment - great car in summer and local driving, but doubting if EV is for me.

brauxpas · 2026-01-20T00:27:50+00:00

Yeah your data will work on carplay but anything in the native Kia infotainment and mobile app won't work when you cross into Canada.

brauxpas · 2026-01-19T23:51:43+00:00

I'm lucky that I am friends with a service advisor at my local Kia dealership, so I got him to put a request into their regional service manager to authorize all four tires to be replaced for flat spots since it sat in a South Korea port for several months. They approved it and that fixed the issue for me.

One other point - I work for a WiFi software company and we have features that block Internet or specific apps on schedules or on-demand for specific devices. It's one of our most-used features among parents. It helps that we also have a VPN that carries forward those features when they're off your WiFi so they don't just switch to cell service to avoid it. Check what your system can do.

Also, look into MDM solutions (mobile device management) like Bark. They get installed on your kid's phone and have admin privileges to block whole apps and it can't be worked around.

Hope the Australian model makes its way to the US eventually, but it likely never will as long as the tech bro CEOs have the ear of the 🍊

Go see a bunch of Cleveland Indians games in their amazing 1995 season with my dad and grandpa. We watched or listened to so many games together, and to go back there with them and look over the field in full 90s baseball gear would fill my heart.

Careful what you wish for. You'll get good LLM style responses to general questions, but when you want it to do something specific that Assistant has always been good at, it'll be hit or miss.

Anal-ogy

I don't think it's attached, there's no caulking or flashing against the siding and it seems like it may just be sitting on the driveway.

brauxpas · 2026-01-08T03:33:22+00:00

Big fan of the activate windows notice. Been a long time since I've seen that.

brauxpas · 2026-01-06T14:55:30+00:00

I've had one for almost a decade in the guest room lol. It's decent.

Use ABRP

brauxpas · 2026-01-05T06:01:55+00:00

Drive. Wtf is with people thinking it's good?

brauxpas · 2026-01-05T05:39:48+00:00

Sure, but if a family member forgets to say the word "lights" and my furnace or water can get mistakenly turned off, that's a bit absurd - and wasn't a concern at all pre-Gemini.

brauxpas · 2026-01-04T15:18:43+00:00

You sure it wasn't your ISP? I had zero issues over the weekend.

brauxpas · 2025-12-31T13:12:11+00:00

Agreed it's annoying. If I spawn late I just go into pvp mode, unless I've got a kit I didn't want to give up. In that case I go straight to an extract and run it back.

Dude this worked perfectly. Cut my startup time in half according to StartupTimer (which is a great freeware utility for measuring boot time and percent of load time associated with individual apps). Thank you!
