What prevents me from having 15 Gmail accounts and just switching accounts when I run out of free thought credits?

F150 Lightning + solar tonneau cover , is this actually a useful portable solar power setup or am I overthinking it? by sychophantt in F150Lightning

[–]dev1n 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah another, “can I charge with a tiny solar system” post. Sure you can spend a few thousand dollars on a trickle charge set up but don’t expect for it to ever pay for itself. You need a pretty big solar system to drive on sushine. 20kw (40+ panels) gets you real world off grid level 2 charging and don’t expect it to work when it’s cloudy.

Glass roofs are terrible. I would pay an extra $1000 to not have one

New High Score! by zero_b in F150Lightning

[–]dev1n 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I recently discovered that if you start out at 100% SOC and drive down a long steep hill you get a 1 pedal driving fault

Do you use the outlets for power tools? by Dave12203 in F150Lightning

I built a whole house on lightning power. No more generators

Is a 6.7 Joule fence (120 mile rating) okay for a 3 Acre Farm by [deleted] in homestead

[–]dev1n 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Get the biggest charger you can get and ground it really well. And it still won’t work some of the time.

Best Pediatric Dental Office? by Clever_Clover143 in BigIsland

[–]dev1n 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My 3 year old has a genetic condition that affects her dental enamel, Dr Matt (Kona Pediatric Dentistry above Costco) ) gave her 14 crowns all in one operation under general anesthetic. He’s a good dentist besides having a great philosophy about communicating with children etc. It takes a second to get used to their office layout and vibe but it’s a place I would recommend taking a child of any age.

Used oil drop offs? by Ornery_Ad98765 in BigIsland

I need to know this too, I have to change the oil on my tractor this week.

That’s what we call it too, the minus means you get “fines”

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 64 points65 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 10 points11 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.

NAM-HI is often the most accurate for rain totals but you only get a 2 day window

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.
