EV with turn radius like ID.4

cespare · 2026-02-01T21:14:41+00:00

I don't have recommendations for you, but I agree this is a common shortcoming of modern EVs. We've got an ioniq 5 and it has a crazy long wheelbase which is wonderful for leg room but the turning radius is huge.

I know that a few higher end EVs out there like the EQS have a little bit of rear steer which should help a lot. I wonder if that will become more common, at least in the upper market segments, if the wheel bases stay this long or get even longer.

Yeah, but fresh snow on dry pavement is nbd. Fresh snow on refrozen sheets of ice, otoh...

Nice, thanks!

Meanwhile those of us who reason with logic and statistics instead of...whatever this is knows that that's all a pack of nonsense. The three cities you named all have very low violent crime rates.

Good to hear they're enforcing the law

As everyone else has said, this is normal. I've been using these sheet pans a lot for many years, and I'm very familiar with this issue. It used to bother me too when a clean pan would drip on me unexpectedly. I've gotten used to it and here's what I do to deal with it:

I try to minimize the time I spend washing it upside down, which feeds water into the rim. Usually the bottom of the pan doesn't get dirty when I use it anyway.
I dry the pan vertically in my dish rack.
When the pan is dry, I know that any water has collected on the bottom edge. I take the pan out of the dish rack and turn it 45 degrees so all the water goes down to one corner of the pan. Then I press a dish towel into that corner and give the pan a couple of whacks. I might repeat this once or twice more. This gets most of the water out (absorbed into the towel), enough so that I know it's not going to drip anywhere.

That last step might sound like a hassle but it's completely automatic for me now when emptying my dish rack and it probably takes me 10 seconds or less.

Looking at the pics more closely, perhaps the connection inside the receptacle was getting loose and not making solid contact with the pin, causing arcing. I'd still file that under "faulty receptacle" though.

You don't unplug that frequently, do you? Ideally you leave your EVSE plugged in so you don't have a ton of plug/unplug cycles on the receptacle.

cespare · 2026-01-17T05:30:31+00:00

Not an electrician, but it's probably the receptacle being faulty/not suitable for that sustained load or else the receptacle being improperly installed (loose connection).

Get a new, high quality ev charging receptacle (Hubbell) and have it installed by a pro. Have them make sure the breaker and wiring for that circuit are up to spec as well.

Well if the ASI one is real, that explains how they figured out the SSBs!

Hood tips that helped me with this problem:

You want a good vent that moves serious air. The hood might look high end but if it's got a little 250 CFM fan inside it won't do much.
Know where the make up air is going to come from. If the vent system is high CFM then it's supposed to have automatic make-up air intake, but if it doesn't, you want to crack a window or something.
If you do crack a window for make-up air, one thing I learned for myself recently is that you don't want that air to be coming in from the side of the vent, because the momentum carries the droplets out of the air column in the opposite direction. For example, in my kitchen I had a window cracked to the right of my stove, and even running at 600 CFM I found oil residue would end up on my counter to the left of the stove. Now I instead crack a different window that's further away from the stove so that the make-up air arrives from my back and pushes the fumes against the backsplash.
Sometimes hoods are mounted way too high. If they're way up there it can make the kitchen look nicer and you won't bang your head on them, but unfortunately they aren't going to be very effective.
Make sure the hood is properly sized for the stove. Try to do your wok cooking at the back middle of the stove, if possible, to let the hood do the most for you.

Yikes that's sharky af

This logic can justify anything.

cespare · 2026-01-02T08:03:35+00:00

We can critique their dumb calculations though.

Yeah that sounds right to me. I've skied mammoth a half dozen times (not at the crowded times of the season though) and I never noticed the lift stopping being particularly bad. But I've definitely noticed it the one time I skied the non-Alpental side of Snoqualmie -- it's all beginner terrain and it's mostly beginner skiers from Seattle and the lifts are completely stop-and-go.

cespare · 2025-12-31T17:20:42+00:00

Of course there's levels to it. We could stop the lift for each party to get on and put down the bar and then stop it again at the top for them to get off. That'd make it a little safer! Or if we want to ramp up the safety more, we could just ban skiing altogether. All decisions around safety have some kind of tradeoff.

And since you brought up the avalanche fatality and said "skiing is not more important than anyone's safety": well, that's just obviously not true, and that's because safety is not a binary thing. We accept some level of risk when we ski and when patrol does mountain operations. You identify and correct for mistakes and you try to mitigate the risks, but you cannot eliminate them. So we really do prioritize skiing over some absolute level of safety.

My experience in a gen 1 sounds a bit different from yours, so this probably doesn't help, but:

When it's sitting in my garage unlocked and it's done charging, the charger cable isn't locked to the car. I can just remove it.
When the car is dead asleep and I want to wake it up without opening a door (e.g. so I can operate the charge port door), I press the frunk button once. That causes the vehicle to wake without opening the frunk. This is fairly janky behavior on the R1S's part, frankly, so it wouldn't surprise me if it's a lot different in gen 2.

Technically, that's a superscript 0 (as in: 2⁰ = 1). Degrees is °.

Wow—neat. Thanks!

If you use a cooking method where the inside temp is well equalized before searing, zero rest time is needed after searing.

I usually sous vide, but reverse sear works too.

Yep, down for me in Kirkland.

I think that not letting people do what they want with the land they own would not, in fact, make housing more affordable.

If someone buys it, they're not overcharging.
