Prolly Lower Decks, though I don't watch it, I'd be rather surprised if'n they don't have the worst technobabble when it'd be funny

Do remember that those were designed from the start to have active cooling, the Leaf wasn't, in fact it's a great example of a lack of foresight between the lack of active cooling and the Chademo plug.

We were already leaning towards replacing it with WalMart+ before this announcement. It used to be worth it when it was cheaper and got you next day delivery, but those are gone. We have little use for it's various features, so we figure give W+ a try for a year, it's cheaper, and seems to cover our needs, though there's a good chance that'll be a one and done thing, since I don't think we'll find it worth it, but I don't see us going back to Prime.

Hopefully this is allowed here, after all there are plenty of online stories about the horrors of taking trips in an electric car.

My husband, @lirleni@wandering.shop went to a convention in Olive Branch, MS in his Leaf from our house in Hazelwood, MO, a distance of 321 miles, not huge as far as trips go obviously.

So, how'd it go? Mostly good, though he ended it stupidly, and I have no idea what he's going to do, though I've given him some suggestions, and that is he didn't worry about getting to the hotel on a good charge, he figured he'd run down the road and charge the car after check in at the hotel. Unfortunately the charger he chose, prolly the nearest fast charger, is down, and there are no other chargers in that area so he returned to the hotel with 5%/10 miles of range. Yeah, he should've topped off along the way to insure he still had a decent amount of range at the end.

Outside of that, there's not much to report, he stopped in Perryville for his first charge, 91 miles out, then in Hayti another 111 miles away with no problems. Another plus of sorts was road construction which kept him under highway speeds for a large chunk of the trip as did an accident, plus weather mild enough that he didn't need to use the AC, had he needed it, there would've definitely needed to be more stops, and I'm not sure the trip would've been doable, at least not same day as fast chargers are sparse in southern MO and Memphis area.

Considering that he's driving a Leaf, the trip went well, so anyone that tells you that electric cars can't take trips, point them to this.

Whoops, my bad, I tend to forget to look for a date on articles as most of my news sources are reliable for up to date news, that is assuming they even bother to date the article

We're waiting for Volvo EX30's here, though I might go a different direction as I don't think it has the cargo capacity I need, I'd love a Canoo van if'n they ever come out, or maybe a used Bolt.

Another place to look is at Lenovo laptops, I've had no problems installing Linux on them, and catch the right sale and you can get some really nice deals, though you have to be careful as they have a ridiculous number of variations on each model, some existing only for a single special deal.

Oh, I did forget one thing Kbin does better, inline images. IMGBB, the place I keep my pics, offers copy & paste code for adding images to your blog, and the HTML works right off the bat, unlike Lemmy which requires the use of meta text

You might have to define active, I never posted often there, and while I do scroll through it daily, I don't find much that grabs my attention, I'm literally only visiting out of habit, same for Twitter as it happens, but at some point I'll likely drop it.

[-] MrPhibb@reddthat.com 1 points 1 year ago

Indeed, but I've watched a half dozen reviews at least, and none have mentioned it, though Ups & Downs was the most thorough. Heck, La'an's timing's been mentioned in at least one or two of those, but the translation? Nope, zip. Yeah, I think people will be catching stuff for weeks if not months afterwards.

Brothers are good, but we were having problems with ours, especially the wireless network features so we replaced it with a Canon TS6420a ink jet all in one that prints double sided, and it's been working flawlessly

Taxpayers paid for the art to be put up, now they get to pay for it to be taken down. Yep, good use of tax pounds.
