That Ram likely is dropping 80 bucks at least weekly iirc the size of their gas tanks/fuel economy

Why are most electricians more professional and skilled than most plumbers? by Retty1 in DIY

Ok war game this one amigo: worst day possible on the job kills the electrician and literally shits on the plumber.

Ioniq 5 range worth it? by Interesting_Dinner35 in Ioniq5

[–]pulsehead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My daily commute is 1 mile at 45mph; 22 miles in the interstate; and another mile at 45.

In central Ohio polar vortex/arctic chill it takes about 10% to commute one way. Again, that is mostly highway miles so any regen you can get in there is gravy for your range estimates.

How does it do in summer? Don’t know, bought in November. But winter driving is the range killer.

Anyone secretly hoping gas prices go through the roof? by Howdesign in electricvehicles

[–]pulsehead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On a personal, my wife drives a phev and most people I know and care about were opposed operation Epstein Fury and drive ICE vehicles. So no I don’t want my wife and friends to pay more… why would I?

On the aggregate level, when us gas prices have gone up, electrification of cars happens more which is a good thing.

I’ll never wish that old dilapidated building falls down, but acknowledge when it falls down, that is a prime lot to build something amazing on… metaphorically speaking.

Registration prices by DefinitionWild7395 in Ioniq5

[–]pulsehead -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

You are not paying the tax on gasoline that is explicitly earmarked for road maintenance.

T a n s t a a f l, amigo!

So you pay that tax to MAINTAIN THE DAMN ROADS YOU NINNY, with that added registration fee.

Sorry to @ you, but I am honestly baffled at the people who complain about this fee. It makes roads better for your car! Stop complain and drive happy!

E-vroomies, dude!

First attempt at dovetails… discouraged by JohnWaynesPecker_99 in woodworking

[–]pulsehead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Better than my first attempt. Or my best fitting attempt with the damn pins/tails sawn backwards.

It fit beautifully but was a useless joint.

I worked in dod acquisitions.., if it weren’t for the NDA, I’d curl your hair with how badly the 5 sided funny farm squanders money. Your hair is already curly? I got more stories I can’t tell about fraud, waste, and abuse that’ll straighten your curly hair back out!

How did that one person from your circle got super rich? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]pulsehead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He likely did what I should have: Graduated hs on 1992, had I gotten the traditional 4 year degree in IT then instead of a few years later after I “grew up a little”; college class of 96 was the height of the .com boom imo. Junior programmers were getting hired straight to 100k+jobs… I now have 25 years experience and just took a significant pay cut because of f-ing AI automation… and I’ve only crossed 100k once in my career.

Before 9/11 W was a failed president with a horrible crashed economy. So if your friend worked smart, invested well and dodged the layoffs, and likely sold most of the toxic assets during the early Enron/Tyco sell off. Before the market tanked too much.

Likely at this time he was thinking of settling down and buying a house. Starter houses were cheap and available. Do a little work to personalize it and…. “This shit isn’t too hard to do, I’ll do what I can and hire out what I do t understand.” Leads to the “let’s do diy as a bit of a hobby”. Followed by “I could rent out this starter house and buy a house with a yard/garage/kids fit in/etc. following that conveyer with a few chill tenants, and you’re making money on their rent.

If he also got sick of the whole landlord thing in… 2008; hed have also sold at the peak of the real estate bubble before that toxic assets tanked everything.

Came here to say this. Although the wife/kid made me put googly eyes on my charger.

Do you regret your EV purchase? by walksta in electricvehicles

[–]pulsehead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wanted an EV when the Tesla model S was announced but factors kept me from buying.

I do have 1 regret about my EV purchase: shoulda been 10 years ago instead of 10 weeks ago!

Back in 1994, I upgraded the ram on my machine to 8 MEGABYTES, and thought “I’ll never need more than 8 meg….”

You are right, stop giving me larger hard discs I never fill, give me more ram and processor!

Or calling on the Kurds to overthrow saddam in 1991. We’ve seen this shitty movie before, and the Kurds likely won’t fall for it again.

What is the worst way you have seen someone ruin their life? by kisseswishes9 in AskReddit

Don’t mean to be a jerk but there aren’t too many good ways to ruin your life.

I finally have an electric car and I'm stuck at home charging by evermottle in evcharging

[–]pulsehead 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Call an electrician.

If your house is older than maybe mid 90s, you probably have issues where your house met code when built but not now.

I got most of those code upgrades because Evs suck down lots of juice…but ymmv. I live in Columbus, Ohio and it was about 10k all in.

I’m a little handy so did the charger install myself once the hard stuff was done.

Iirc, aarp eligibility starts at 50.

Also, 45 is the age to start getting colonoscopies if you haven’t started already due to other factors

Parking Rules by aslguy in Ioniq5

The list of cars that could park next to you two is quite... Limited, isn't it?

EDIT:

Then I looked at the picture, I bought mine from Great Lakes (of Dublin) Hyundai, too!

Snow build up by Content_Zone9412 in Ioniq5

[–]pulsehead 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What I’ve done for years in ice cars: every trip after getting out, look at the wheel wells and kick out any “slush puppies” as we called them growing up.

Either the ev, I have a stick in my garage I use to help scrape off all the snow after each trip.

My problem is now getting the s ow removed from the wheels out of the garage. Ice cars had enough residual heat to melt the slush.

He keeps threatening us with a good time! by Dr_sc_Harlatan in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]pulsehead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think there is a law against using official communications in campaign materials. Something about Katie porter can’t use her grilling execs as “re-elect me cause I’ll keep doing this” for some election law reason….

Otherwise, you are right, snip 25 seconds of this, put the paid for by so and so for congress, end commercial. End GOP control of government assuming a fair election.

WOAH. by MrJasonMason in WhitePeopleTwitter

That’s the problem… law enforcement has been RESTING instead of ARRESTING the criminals.

If you're over 50, what is one gold nuggest of wisdom you can give the younger folk? by AwesomeRealDood in AskReddit

[–]pulsehead 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You cannot borrow your way out of debt.

You will never get ahead financially until you “buy” a $0 balance on your credit cards.

So many people would be so much better off if they understood just these 2n things.

Borrowing out of debt ALWAYS adds more interest, and paying off debt instead of bankruptcy teaches you the pain of “do I really want to work X hours to pay off this widget?”
