His video convinced me to go for it (“it’s just wires”)! I had a double slot left in the panel. I’m now technically above the calculated load for our service, but I scheduled charging for late nights and below the max rating of the charger.

With 2 vehicles to charge and one being a 130kwh truck, I needed a second circuit at the very least.
With how much I drive the truck (not a lot, I work from home, about to hit 3500 miles in 11 months), a 240v 20A is even more than enough. But I installed what the mobile charger you see is rated for (32A max, but the plug says 30A … ?) because I whole-ass anything I do. And now there’s a 14-50R for my dad to plug his camper into if he ever decides to visit his grandson.

11·2 days agoYeah, nail on the head. I worked under Ken more than a decade ago for a hot minute and while part of me still hopes for some positive news, I’m not holding my breath. I don’t consider myself a party member though I am registered as a Dem for progressive primary reasons.

Material themes definitely tend to be softer. I hate them as a rule.

Surprisingly, this passes a basic accessibility check. https://webaim.org/resources/contrastchecker/?fcolor=654735&bcolor=F9F5D7
“Hard” (high contrast) should use the bg0_h value for the background: #f9f5d7 or rgb(249,245,215).
This is a light “off white”. If you have blue blocking mode or a night color mode enabled, the yellowing effect will be exaggerated.
For what is worth, I don’t think gruvbox makes a good light theme because it’s pretty low contrast especially compared to a lot of more recent themes. I say this as a die hard gruvbox dark user.

News@lemmy.world•Trump officials prepping for ‘nightmare scenario’ at gas pumps: reports
12·10 days agoI don’t think that there are enough gasoline pumps.
Remember, you have to put one on both sides of the pump in many places. And then you’ve got places like Buc-ee’s with 120 pumps.
So I think you’re actually underestimating by a lot!

2·11 days agoI charge both my ridiculous Lightning and PHEV Volvo this way.
But I’m on track for only about 3500 miles for the year (10 months in) on the lightning.
I riffed on this kind of concept for a cocktail I just call “brunch.”
- 3oz cocchi americano
- 1.5oz grapefruit juice
- ⅓oz (splash) each gin, campari, Aperol
- Top with tonic or soda as you please (fevertree light tonic for me too)
We have a softener and a “commercial” reverse osmosis unit with a built-in diaphragm pump and a 14 gallon pressure tank. We have been doing yearly changes on the filters. Household of 3 though.
The softener is a puronics brand, the RO unit is Ecosoft RObust 1500.
Not needing to tackle hard water stains and build up every 2 weeks made it worth it, but it was a significant investment (plus we ran RO lines from the garage/tank to the kitchen).
And with the pump set to 60psi, I can have infinite carbonated water without another expensive setup.

2·17 days agoYes they do. Often to a greater extent too via 1-pedal mode available in many BEVs. Claims are as high as 30% more range (seems a bit far fetched).

Technology@lemmy.ml•Sodium-ion EV battery breakthrough delivers 11-min charging and 450 km range
4·17 days agoI like the way you think, but it’s not quite realistic. This 4c charge means 4x the battery capacity (45kwh) in an hour as a charge rate. If my whiskey addled math pencils out, that’s something like a 480v at ~100A DC (if we’re using the usual 120V multiplier), so, not your average generator. Not exactly a Chevy Volt kind of situation.
But it’s approaching something you can charge in a “gas station like stop” with reasonable range.

California@lemmy.world•A new homelessness strategy is sweeping California
5·17 days agoThese prevention programs have found that with a payment of several thousand dollars, aid organizations can head off someone’s homelessness.
I guess if calling it a “new strategy” is what someone needs to cosign, then great. But these programs have existed for a long time. The funding source is likely the only thing that is different.
Can’t forget the time Jesus Chrysler was tempted by the DeVille in the desert.

I had an '83 CB1000c for several years. You know, the one with a high/low sub transmission for 10 gear ratios.
I still want a cbx1000 6cyl.
















Yeah, that makes a lot of sense. It wasn’t enough money to make me go down another research rabbit hole, which I suppose they basically count on.
