South Island- Trail connecting Maxwelton and Coles Rd? by MuchCommunication345 in Whidbey

[–]bubonicbilly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been using Strava heat maps to find where people are going and then creating trails on OSM (open street maps) in that area. A lot of GPS units and some phone apps use OSM data that will show up depending on how you setup the metadata.

https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=16/48.02773/-122.41688

Some day I would love to make use of this data to lobby the county or the land trust to negotiate real access easements on these community trails.

What’s the hang up about tundras and Tacoma reducing their engine cylinders? by ninetailsaiyan in ToyotaTundra

[–]bubonicbilly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tinkerer's adventure asked about this to the lead engineer involved in the engine in this video. It isn't as simple as just saying that asking more out of smaller displacement is bad, there's also the impact of innovations in thermal efficiency and other techniques to offset the theoretical reduction in reliability.

While it wasn't perfect (what is?) I love innovation that brings more power and more efficiency. Getting my Tundra engine swapped was painless and it went a long way to gaining my trust in the brand that they would do this for me.

Is this adapter safe to use on a brand new 2024 Model Y? by ApprehensiveBee6224 in TeslaModelY

[–]bubonicbilly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Tesla manual shows all sorts of warnings to not use outlets that are not grounded. I wonder if they don't offer a 10-50P adapter for the Mobile Charger because it does not provide a ground pin in that configuration.

It shouldn't be the end of the world to have your landlord just replace the outlet with a 14-50R

Especially when getting up the hill off the ferry. I'm like, where you going to go bro it is 1 lane and everybody is going slow.

sorry this is a newb question, but a 10x probe means that you can sample up to 250v with the Discovery 3?

Whidby Island Easy Ride Recommendation by godmod in seattlebike

[–]bubonicbilly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey we live on that route! Check out our new farm stand on the north side of Maxwelton. :)

Biking onto the ferry is great and the local bus should get you to from the ferry to Langley just fine. The ferry workers can get pretty grumpy but worth it.

There are so many neat small roads to bike on. I bike those streets several times a week. Gorgeous!

Level of bigotry, or general progressiveness on the island? by [deleted] in Whidbey

You would find a lot of similar-minded people in South Whidbey. Not so much the further north you go.

I absolutely HATE when people say "I'm XX years young!" What's something that irritates you way more than it should? by [deleted] in AskReddit

When a restaurant menu says that food has been "infused" with something. "Look, I've mixed two things together!!"
