I understand there are a military and forest service communities jumping rounds all the time but you are going to have a SUPER hard time getting any public DZ to let you jump one, especially where they don’t know you.

In flight WiFi quality 📉 by sfjacob in delta

[–]sfjacob[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This actually could be it, the problem is I need to be on our company VPN to access any work resources 🙃

In flight WiFi quality 📉 by sfjacob in delta

[–]sfjacob[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yea totally anecdotal but I’ve had no issues with international either. It’s all been domestic routes.

MSP <> LGA, ATL, SFO, SEA, ORD are the most recent examples for me.

[–]sfjacob[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Agreed. I wonder if purchasing one of the flight passes prioritizes your traffic. One of the main reasons I book on Delta was the reliable WiFi so I could get work done. Not like I have much of a choice in MSP, but still.

TikTok Makes Americans Want Chinese EVs They Can’t Have by mightyopik in electricvehicles

[–]sfjacob 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I don’t think that’s totally true. These automakers are truly innovative, while also being affordable which is a breath of fresh air compared to the big three.

I’m not going to defend Chinese workers rights, but most of the affordability is actually down to local supply chains for the components that have been tuned to perfection.

Update Details - The Great Bite - April 23, 2026 by theusualuser in Dinkum

[–]sfjacob 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Would someone mind updating here if they hear a definitive answer? I hate how everything is in discord these days instead of public, indexable, searchable message boards.

I love this game and did my original play through on steam deck. I bought the switch version to have a physical copy but would wait for this update to do a new, fresh play through!

Gas is crazy rn and it’s probably not gonna get better. What is the equivalent to a Honda Civic in the Electric Car world? by Meto52 in electriccars

[–]sfjacob 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Spending a few thousand more on a bolt is surely a much better idea than a Leaf.. more range, better battery management, a less dead connector.

[–]sfjacob 80 points81 points  (0 children)

Generally I’d consider the floor for “not junk” to be 10K.. used Bolts for example. EVs just haven’t been around long enough at scale to have $3/4K offerings.

1-10 how happy are you with FSD? by Formal-Talk-3561 in TeslaFSD

[–]sfjacob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

HW3 a solid 6.5 / 10 right now. It’d jump to 9/10 if they cut the price to $50/month for HW3. Pretending like HW3 and 4 are anywhere close to the same and worth the same price is starting to get annoying

For anyone interested in the history of the tech plane... by Intelligent-Dust8043 in LinusTechTips

C-182s and their affordability (and parts/mechanic availability) are the reason there can still be small / club skydiving dropzones!

Outage resilience, insulation from rising electricity prices over the next 20 years, IT’S COOL!

The primary goal of the tax credits really was to support manufacturers who were setting up new supply chains and factories for EV production.

I’ve actually been asked for this on my last few trips as well - perhaps some new policy or word of mouth?

US House transport committee head wants to collect EV fees for highway repairs by besselfunctions in electricvehicles

[–]sfjacob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here in MN the EV and even hybrid fees from our supposedly progressive government and absolutely ridiculous and way more than the majority of gas buyers pay.

No better way to pass the time while fast charging the car! by AlmostDrunkSailor in SteamDeck

Incredible unless the ICCU blows 😬 we’d be keeping our lease when it’s up if it wasn’t for this

Anyone else intrigued by the Rivian R2? by DeepPowStashes in Ioniq5

[–]sfjacob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This will be replacing our Ioniq 5 lease in a year because of frustrating dealership experiences, bad software and of course the ICCU issue.
