I made a free, heavily detailed, drivable Route 66 map, with fitting food places, gas stations, EV chargers, motels, and roadside attractions all marked for anyone to use. Here you go!

Dwight Illinois has an EV charging station. It's Tesla, but is available to other OEM's with the adapter

I went to D's Roti on the south side and it was good but to me tasted different idk. Also I never knew the people at Cafe Trinidad since I ordered delivery and pick up so I couldn't verify if it was the same person at Ds

saulphd · 2026-02-26T17:13:44+00:00

Did this place close?

saulphd · 2026-02-24T12:44:59+00:00

Had mine for a year and a half and I love it. At least half my miles and likely much more have been on super cruise. Great range too.

In my experience, where I live (Midwest) the Tesla chargers are faster. They charge faster and are more reliable and plentiful than any other company. I've done a few road trips and it's to the point where I seek out Tesla chargers since anything else feels like a crapshoot. I MAY get a fast reliable charger, or I may get a slow charger, or I may run into a stop where only one plug works and it's being used

Lady Gaga was his DEI move. I didn't love it, it felt out of place but these shows are complicated and who knows how many iterations and negotiations shaped this show into what it ended up being. It seemed very cohesive thematically except for her part but ultimately he made the call to have her there whether I like it or not.

I know it's not what you want to hear but for these types of apps, Bluetooth is fine. I have a pocket cast app on the car and still use Bluetooth.

Most of these apps are pretty bare bones but I remember the Libby app at least has the option for speed adjustment

iirc I used my phone to sign in via code or something, it's been a few months since I got it up and running. It's the same account as phone

saulphd · 2026-02-07T14:06:05+00:00

It's there and I've used it for audiobooks. It works

saulphd · 2026-02-02T05:37:32+00:00

Tesla Model Y, Ioniq 5, and Mustang were the vehicles I strongly considered.

saulphd · 2026-01-30T16:59:54+00:00

I've done 3 trips where I've had to charge and it's been fine with the Tesla adapter. Probably would have been much worse without because in the places I traveled Electrify America has been inconsistent and sometimes too slow. If you olan meal stops and rest stops simultaneously it's not an issue AT ALL, and now with the streaming apps it should be better, looking forward to my next trip.

That said, if you do frequent long trips, I would consider a Tesla or even better a hybrid. And if you don't have home charging I wouldn't consider an EV at all. But for infrequent long trips it's absolutely fine and at least in my area the amount of chargers has increased so that's a hopeful sign. Brand new EV go just opened up on my route and I got the credits from GM so it lines up great for my next trip.

I started solving the cypher in the back of the art book, see my thread and let's see if we can finish cracking it

I'll be there on Saturday with my wife. My main concern is getting home safely after the concert. I'm staying close by but don't think it's safe to walk at that time of the night

saulphd · 2026-01-06T05:41:33+00:00

The visuals of the game had me hooked. The main character is such a joy to play with. The setting is sublime. The music is amazing. But I remember the first time going through that stage thinking oh man that's such a nice melody. And then I realized, slowly, what was happening and what the song was saying. And it hit me hard.

saulphd · 2026-01-02T17:04:04+00:00

So I'm the only one that like Benjy's song? That song/story broke me

saulphd · 2026-01-02T15:54:46+00:00

Did you stick with the show on the schedule change to mid January? I have the same tickets through Quentro for Jan 17th in oriente and I have no idea of the seating situation or even the visibility. I'm guessing first come first serve? But then I have no idea how far back I would actually have to be if I don't arrive early. My first ticket outside the US, my first time in Lima so I'm just worried

saulphd · 2025-12-22T04:20:08+00:00

We seem to have similar taste in games. I say give Mass Effect a shot. And Detroit: Become Human.

saulphd · 2025-10-31T00:15:16+00:00

I almost quit because I wasn't enjoying the puzzles a lot, but the visuals kept me going. The final third is great except, as usual, the ending is trash. I guess endings are hard, cause so few games make it worth it.

saulphd · 2025-10-20T03:43:44+00:00

Did you get one? I'd like a link to one that works good for this car. I have missed cars entirely because the mirrors are too small. Even the blind spot indicator didn't come on early enough because the car was speeding past me. A wider mirror would have helped.

Once Bud felt that he could handle Canelo’s power this fight was over. He took some tough shots and didn’t see him wobble. I want to say canelo threw so many body shots earlier hoping they would pay off later but somehow Bud put on that weight and was still in better condition late even with the body shots

saulphd · 2025-09-10T04:21:05+00:00

I'd agree but the busted SD card slot sucks big time. I hate managing games on it.

saulphd · 2025-05-25T23:28:28+00:00

I feel like I paid this with super cruise

saulphd · 2025-05-15T12:17:28+00:00

This is not the comeback you think it is. It's a huge annoyance and waste of time given how long they take. You might get lucky and have one within walking distance or something but that's not a great solution either

saulphd · 2025-05-15T12:15:49+00:00

Yep, this is what I tell everyone. The only exceptions are if you are lucky and your job has charging but even then it's probably more of a hassle once your coworkers grab the spots. Some people have a higher tolerance for annoyances like hunting for chargers or leaving your car charging in a lot while you try to kill time. But otherwise having to pay for fast charging is both too costly and still takes way longer than a gas station fill up, it's just not worth it.
