There's a website called Wikipedia that is a free online encyclopedia; a compendium of knowledge that can be freely viewed OR edited by anyone with an internet connection. Founded in 2001, it has been looked down upon by academics who

I'd rather the logs be consistent, and not rely on every single person who ever looks at the system logs make sure to use the correct tool the correct way.

Are you saying Texas doesn't have much rooftop solar? That's surprising. I suppose largely due to low electricity costs making the investment not worth it? (And, I suspect, secondarily, utilities not really incentivizing it)

Yep. The previous high was in 2006(!). Overall, statewide energy consumption seems to be flat or declining. In 2020, there were extremely high heat days in August, with wildfire smoke covering the state. Thankfully I was out of town, but my

I'm not even sure how to calculate our deg! Same, 2018 3 long range. I think they advertised it as 305mi but some time later increased the capacity of the car to 315mi; I max charged it to 314 once but never quite saw that 315. I think

It's reasonably well known that Ford has had a very bad year for recalls; it's definitely made the rounds in the auto world, and breaks through to the mainstream news from time to time. https://www.motortrend.com/n

Commodity auto industry supply chain parts? 400v is probably way overkill, and dealing with it is more complicated and expensive?

When the 12v battery is dying, at least in a Tesla, it warns you, and starts disabling certain features, more likely to help preserve the battery. For example, heated seats run off 12v. It makes sense that a lot of commodity auto industry p

Well, this is a relatively small recall in automotive terms, so certainly enough to handle this.

A more apt comparison would be a fuel pump, since fuel tanks don't really stop working short of springing a leak which brings its own problems. Fuel pump failure is certainly not an uncommon thing, although in my limited experience, th

Hasn't even crossed my mind to check brake wear on my 115,000mi Model 3. In my somewhat limited experience, Japanese cars often need brakes around the 40k mark, and German cars go more like 60k.

A major factor in my choice of house location here in the silicon valley 'burbs was to be near "stuff". I have a small strip mall type shopping center with a grocery store a 2 block walk away. Brewpub, taqueria, pizza joint,

Holy crap, I thought "full volume" was metaphorically speaking until I clicked on the link. I'd smash the thing with a hammer.

What I don't get is, what's the point of doing it quietly? Bad publicity hurt your sales. How is sneaking in a fix and hoping people notice going to help sales?

Sort of timely because I was on an Alaska Max 9 yesterday I couldn't believe how narrow the aisle was. I actually looked up whether a Max 9 fuselage was narrower than a traditional 737, it was that bad. Now, it's possible this p

Also, the tone of the posts might be quite different. Maybe the non-bot critical posts have more nuance or say "this new logo is boring, bring back the new one" and the bots say "this is DEI run amok, boycott Cracker Barrel!&

I initially didn't understand it at all, the "it's because DEI" complaints made no sense to me. So they took a dude off the logo, and suddenly it's diversity run amok? It felt like too much of a stretch. And then af

That struck me, too. I listen to plenty of tech and car podcasts, so I'm quite used to people acknowledging their privilege in complaining about their latest $2000 gadget or the $600,000 car some manufacturer lent them to complain abou

Looks like the northeast because it's so flat, yeah. Go on a roadtrip! The eastern Sierra is absolutely GORGEOUS in the fall. Because I am closer to Tahoe, one of my favorite is Hope Valley, east of the crest outside of Kirkwood. But a

My first visit to Japan was late last fall. Tokyo around the 25th, Hiroshima before the end of the month, Miyajima Island, and working my way back north through the 13th of December. I had heard the colors around Kyoto would peak in Novembe

Even on run of the mill international vacations, my wife and I always casually debrief on what we brought too much of, what we didn't use, etc. Traveling light is nice, even when you're not backpacking.

It's probably just a general comment for folks who don't understand CA property taxes. I've lived here my whole home-buying life, so it never crosses my mind to look at the Zillow property tax figure when doing my mental math

ChatGPT tells me it originated at Paris CDG in the 1990s where it was "depose minute" but then also cites LA Times from the 1950s as the first source of the term[1]. I've seen it in Germany as "Kiss und Ride". So it
