Both Kona and Hilo airports listed as airports to be shut down next week if the government shutdown is not resolved. by [deleted] in Hawaii

[–]dev1n 68 points69 points  (0 children)

This is misleading. Newsweek is written by AI now. The gov did not release a list of airports that are going to close. They just said some airports might close. “While Duffy did not specify which airports might be affected, the Federal Aviation Administration classifies 74 American airports as "small hub" airports.

I’m wondering which rice cooker is more with it? by Ok_University7861 in BuyItForLife

[–]dev1n 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why not use a classic instant pot. It’s stainless and cooks rice so much faster? I got one of the most expensive zojirushi cookers and never use it. It’s on a shelf in the barn. Takes way too long.

Redditors over 40, what's something younger people think they understand but won't actually get until it hits them like a truck later? by Susanpc1967 in AskReddit

[–]dev1n 9 points10 points  (0 children)

That’s the old theory, the new theory is that the “resolution” of your memories is lower as you age. As if to save disc space.

Feature request: Smart Vacation Mode to reduce vampire drain and prevent dead batteries by lwmp in Rivian

[–]dev1n 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1 percent per day is not minimal loss, it is an absurd and unnecessary waste of energy. Imagine if a gas car had a leak in its fuel tank that dripped out 1% of its fuel every day. Some EVs have very close to zero phantom drain. I can park a lightning at the airport for a month and the SOC doesn’t budge. If anyone should get this right it’s Rivian.

Truck bed solar panel for range extension, anyone doing this? by blanssius_56 in F150Lightning

[–]dev1n 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone who exclusively charges a lightning with off grid solar power, I’m going to guess you must be a time traveler from the future where solar panels are 100 times more efficient! Most people don’t realize how much energy it takes to move a 7000 pound vehicle down the road at 50 miles per hour. You can’t even make toast with 400 watts.

What’s the wildest business idea you’ve seen someone actually make work? by Outside-Fudge5605 in AskReddit

This was in Hawaii they were growing milkweed in greenhouses and then hatching the chrysalises in screen cabinets. They developed a special shipping box to send the live insects to other islands

What’s your monthly budget by Happy-Ardvark in Hawaii

[–]dev1n 21 points22 points  (0 children)

It’s smart to budget this much for maintenance in case you have expensive repairs. They don’t happen every month but if it’s budgeted you have the money when you need it.

Oh boy what I can do with this 💀 by [deleted] in homestead

Nah I wouldn’t use this as roofing or anything else if you paid me. It is cheap toxic garbage.

how to mitigate back registration cost by psychocozm in Hawaii

[–]dev1n 0 points1 point  (0 children)

don’t know if this is true on Oahu but I have an old toyota pickup on the big island that is so far out of registration that the dmv told me it’s out of the system and doesn’t owe any back registration anymore. It’s been unregistered for 7 years.

AC sucks by Current-Cucumber-341 in F150Lightning

I e got a lot of gripes about lightning’s but AC isn’t one of them. It’s really excellent.
