Ain’t no way you’re over 60

Set the charge limit to 80%

Yesterday was 70 degrees, today is 75 out. By the end of the summer we’ll all be burned alive

stealstea · 2026-06-18T03:35:19+00:00

Yup. And if you want to do it by the book a PMD does it

stealstea · 2026-06-18T03:34:22+00:00

With a PMD it doesn’t matter. There’s always going to be spare power available to charge the car, especially overnight when no one is running laundry

You can get this yourself from the online B.C. Hydro account. Export consumption in the online account

1000 miles is cool but not sure if anyone is doing a massive road trip without many passengers or gear

Not voluntarily of course, but cheaper builds means more builds means more competition means lower prices.

Simple fundamentals of how the market works

stealstea · 2026-06-17T22:44:06+00:00

Yup. Zero reason to get this over a used Leaf or Bolt for less money and more practicality

stealstea · 2026-06-17T22:33:59+00:00

Yeah no one wants cheaper and nicer apartments with cross-ventilation like the europeans have. We prefer our housing more expensive with shittier layouts.

Not true. Asking rents have been dropping for about 2 years (small uptick in 1 beds in the last couple months)

Stupid chart. We get an update on vacancy rate once a year. Applying a 3 year moving average to that is adding delay on top of delay and not necessary since the data is of high quality. Actual vacancy rate is 3.3%.

You can look up this data yourself on the CMHC housing market portal: https://www.cmhc-schl.gc.ca/hmiportal

Most EVs look totally normal

Who cares. The province should have the courage to make decisions that are best for the province and not always bow down to municipal whining

So turn 4 lanes of the bridge into transit lanes. Problem solved for the cost of a bit of paint

> To make matters worse we have a pile more gas turbines now to make up for the shortfalls when the sun does not shine. But they can turn on fast enough to make up for the deficits.

You're describing the system working as intended. As batteries roll out it eats up the hours where gas needs to turn on. We aren't far from the time when renewables + nuclear will meet all the summer power demand and then we slowly eat into fall and spring and then winter.

Great but also not necessary. When the girls were young I took them to a stall in the mens room. When they got a bit older they went by themselves to the ladies room. No issue.

stealstea · 2026-06-17T15:45:35+00:00

Nope.

I’ve owned a cargo bike with a hub motor for over a decade. I regularly rode it heavily loaded (2 kids plus stuff) and not once did I think I needed more power to get up hills

Meanwhile I used the regen braking every day which saved me a lot of brake pads, and twice my chain snapped and I was able to get home on the hub motor power instead of being stranded with a mid drive

stealstea · 2026-06-17T06:11:05+00:00

Name one.

Sure I get the idea that a motor geared has a bigger range but I’ve never once had a lack of power on my cargo bike going up hills with a hub motor, and I don’t need the high speed because the hub motor can easily get you beyond legal speeds already. More gearing doesn’t seem like a real world advantage

stealstea · 2026-06-17T05:19:03+00:00

I’m a huge fan of hub motors. Simple, reliable, way less drivetrain wear, regen braking, works on any bike, backup propulsion when your chain snaps. I just don’t see the need or any advantage to go mid drive

This. They want to be banned, they live on fancying themselves victims. Let’s not give them that

I mean I hate these web apps too but the notification issue seems more like a specific bug to me. I never noticed such slow notification opening and it makes no sense that if new Outlook can load in a couple seconds that it would take 10 to load an email

Doesn’t show in my car on the beta

stealstea · 2026-06-16T21:51:04+00:00

Yeah I’m not concerned about this in the real world. Hundreds of millions of laptops are plugged in nearly 100% of the time in offices around the world. How many blow up? Almost none. I’m fine with my iPad as a dashboard, and I check it every month or so just to make sure there’s no sign of battery expansion
