Watch out for those scorpions

If you haven’t seen caravan of courage and battle for Endor you’re missing out on some of the first Star Wars extended universe. I love those movies, campy as hell, but fun and weird.

Especially if you live outside of the US!

I have a Nissan leaf and installed a level 2 outlet at my house to avoid this.

It charges overnight so I wake up and drive to work with a full battery.

Since I usually use it to commute it’s perfect. I have had to use chadmo stations (level 3 and slower than Tesla stations) when on longer trips. That takes about 45 minutes to fully charge? Usually I just top up so I can get home if my range is a bit short.

Some of the newer EVs can use super fast charging stations and fully charge in under 20 mins but those stations are rare. I think to get widespread adoption we would need cars that can hyper charge (or whatever it’s called) and those chargers to be all over.

I stream through Roku (great for plex but no way to block ads on YouTube) and the ads got so bad I paid for premium.

I hate it because I’m reinforcing their shitty business choices but it was like being bullied everyday. YouTube is all I really use for entertainment aside from plex so that’s been one silver lining.

Man, online recipe sites have gotten so bad in the last few years.

There’s like a page of text talking about the food while the page is swimming with intrusive ads or promotions. I hate it.

It’s like the worst parts of old school internet pop is ads gained sentience and a love for cooking.

It’s always a game of finding and clicking print recipe as fast as I can. That and immersive reader have helped on mobile.

What a great find!

Reminds me of Porco Rosso

I started feeding my cat out of a pie dish because I was worried about this and I think it prevents it.

And it had the added benefit of making it look like my cat just polished off an entire pie all by himself when he’s done eating.
