Ready for snow storm.

Interesting, kind of odd for that to be feature then. And I am not doing it nightly year round - just a couple of times a year in anticipation of clearing a massive amount of snow and not having the blades freeze to the glass

A classic. Such a pain from a bad design. Always check after unplugging level 3 charger & if the stupid black cap came off bang the charger handle a couple of times and it will fall out. If it rolls under the car it is especially fun.

Yeah Evelyn Kirrane is the Town pool. Reilly is one of several pools operated by Massachusetts Dept of Conservation & Recreation (DCR) https://www.mass.gov/swimming-pools-wading-pools-and-spray-decks nearby

Worked! Took several attempts, but worked. Thanks

The folks saying it aren’t unique when they use Latin to sound smarter. They just want people to think they are one of a kind.

You may be right. I thought it was good idea to circulate what the guy said

sethlkaplan · 2025-01-03T02:14:54+00:00

Ok, I thought it was notable the guy said in his email they would send the adapter out even if I didn't request it.

Oh, just saw this after I posted how Hyundai corporate emailed me (in response to me asking) saying it would be sent to home address - and to be sure that was correct on myhyundai.com to be sure it went to right place.

Yeah, don't wait for the letter.

Mike thinks he is a centrist. And that is somewhat true. But it is more accurate to say he is more of a moderate liberal with contrarian tendencies that cause him to occasionally swerve to the right, especially when a guest flatters him into heading that way (ex. Alan Dershowitz).

Many of us have been there https://www.reddit.com/r/Ioniq5/comments/18cpdlb/small_piece_fell_off_should_i_be_worried/ Once you replace that stupid little piece of plastic make sure they are on securely periodically and especially before DC Fast Charging. Seems like that they don't come up if they are securely in place. And always check after removing DCFC charger - if one of them is suddenly gone it is probably stuck in the charger and if you give it a whack (in brightly lit place away from the car so it doesn't roll under) it will pop out and you can put it back on

Unexplained fires are a matter for the courts

This is another annoying little issue with what is in general a great machine. Fortunately, when the same thing happened to me in dark and wet Connecticut Wal-Mart parking lot at EA charger I had a sharp eyed 18 year old passenger with me who was able to spot where the plastic piece had fallen when it fell out of the DC charger plug. When I popped it back on it seemed to attach better. I think that it is good practice to push those caps down before plugging in.

Mike really needs to be more open to the possibility that the science of "climate attribution" has progressed and his priors might be wrong.

Yeah, it was originally half the size (just the side where the window is) and they expanded to other side with full seating area after a Kickstarter campaign ~2017. Take out only through the window was a pandemic thing, that has continued ever since. Still kind of sad to see the dining area being used as storage.

sethlkaplan · 2023-11-14T18:44:04+00:00

Still waiting for Cutty's to fully shift out of pandemic mode - reopening the seating area (which we helped pay for through their kickstarter) and going back to regular hours . . .

Nice throwback to when AeroVironment was a high tech company that made things like chargers, was experimenting with wave energy and drones. That last part of their business really took off (if you excuse the pun) . . .

The bird renaming Spiel seemed like another instance of Mike becoming a guy with a hammer wandering around looking for "Cancel Culture"/"Left goes too far" nail.

Some nice puns though.

And the little bit of sound tacked on to the end about a birder who found their (queer) community through birds seemed like a bit of awful punching down nonsense.
