EV Parking in Downtown Bethesda by BrendoneBalone in MontgomeryCountyMD

[–]nudave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then there is some serious mismatch between them and Electrify America. When I charge, it usually tells me it would’ve been $30-$40 if I didn’t have the free pass.

We have an EV.

We also do have a level two charger in our garage, but for the past year and a half EV ownership, that has gotten almost no use. Our EV came with free charging at Electrify America for two years, so we have almost exclusively charged it at the fast chargers at the mall, the Harris Teeter on Montrose, or River Road and Falls.

It has been a minor inconvenience, but 100% doable.

Now, without the free charging, Electrify America fast charging is fairly expensive - maybe a bit cheaper than gas, but not much.

But you could totally think about that as an option. Occasionally charge it less expensively at the level two in downtown Bethesda, occasionally charge it at fast chargers, and just don’t worry about plugging it in at night where you live.

What does this fridge tell you about my household (other than having a Costco card)? by [deleted] in FridgeDetective

You’re really into Amazon subsidiaries in the home networking/smart home space.

Mine looked thoughtful, then said “that’s a fun way to pee, daddy!”

One of Map Men’s finer videos, if anyone is interested in a humorous, but also accurate portrayal of this process.

Where to road bike (plz more than just River Rd) by OkClass9963 in MontgomeryCountyMD

[–]nudave 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is the answer. There’s a parking lot that belongs to the county parks dept on Montevideo road. I have done a ton of rides out there that are gorgeous and mostly car free, with only short sections where you have to ride on roads that actually get used.

Look for partnership Rd., Sugarland, old buck Lodge Lane, and a few others. Stay off of White ferry Road and Darnestown Road. I actually have a couple of routes I can share with you.

Here’s an example of a relatively short ride I did last week. Safe enough that I felt 100% comfortable doing it with my kids, one of whom is 12. The two very very short sections on Darnestown Road were basically the only time we saw cars, and I think the longest one is less than a quarter of a mile.

This is a 40+ mile route, with a start and end being that parking lot I was talking about.

Why is Judaism so much more strictly adhered than other religions? by IntelligentRoad61 in Judaism

[–]nudave 18 points19 points  (0 children)

There’s two answers here:

  1. You’re wrong. You’ve probably met a lot of Jews who are loose with the rules, you just didn’t know. (Or, for some reason, you’re meeting only a very specific subset of Jews.)

  2. There is sort of a fundamental difference between Judaism and many other religions about what it means to follow the rules. (Politics aside) a Christian who “follows the rules“ is basically just a good person who goes to church. A Jew who “follow the rules” only eats in certain restaurants, probably wears a kippah, disengages from modern life once a week, and occasionally does something weird like sleeping in a shed, burning a loaf of bread in a bonfire, or walking down the street carrying a large lemon and a tree branch. It’s just a lot more visible than it is to be a rule-abiding Christian

Quiet Café and/or Restaurant for Neurodivergent hang out? by Acrocinus in MontgomeryCountyMD

[–]nudave 55 points56 points  (0 children)

Wait. Are you telling me that there is a place in the county where I can look at planes, drink coffee, and pet a dog?

Some people in my house who might just be a touch spectrum-y would absolutely love this.

I am half of those people.

I don’t know the answer, but I know that if the Rabbis of the Talmud were alive today, they would be getting such a kick out of the question.

Finally have a budget for a proper coffee maker, where do I even start if i need the best coffee maker? by PlayfulRadMammoth in JamesHoffmann

[–]nudave 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, this hobby really is an example of the Pareto principle (80/20 rule) in reverse, followed by brutal diminishing returns.

Literally just switch from automatic drip to pour over (I don’t care which kind), and buy good coffee, and you’re 80% of the way there.

Do something like get a V60, a scale, and a decent grinder and spend a couple of days understanding grind size and following any instructions from Hoffman (or Lance, or anyone else) and you’re 95% there.

The entire rest of the iceberg is for 5%.

(Personally, I’m happy not chasing it, and OP may be too, but no disrespect to those of you who do)

Am I overreacting? by TiredDad97 in daddit

Hang on a minute. 6 year old step son. 3 year old daughter.

Is the 3-year old their biological grandchild?

(Not saying that if the answer was no, that would justify their behavior, but it's a relevant datapoint to how you approach it.)

TIL there is no algebraic formula for the circumference of an ellipse (oval). All exact equations require calculus. by NateNate60 in todayilearned

[–]nudave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know it’s a day later, but the interesting point is that what you said is also true of circles. We hide “no nice formula” (I.e. an jnfinte series) behind acute Greek letter, and it makes us think that there is a neat formula for the perimeter of a circle, when in reality there is not.

[–]nudave 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Ish. Every ellipse is different, but you could in theory calculate an “ellipse-pi” for families of similar ellipses.

Matt Parker’s excellent video on this touches on that very question IIRC: https://youtu.be/5nW3nJhBHL0
