Might be for muting on power-up, so you don’t get a big thump that would take out your speakers.

I see slugs. Then again, I do need to see my eye doctor for an updated prescription for glasses. So if these are not slugs, I am sorry.

I am so happy that they now let us Seatellites have KCLS library cards too-they are the best!

Done this many times. If they are reasonable people i won’t accept the payment and they get it for free anyway.

As an EV owner, I totally agree. But where on earth did you get that $15-20k number from? Please help me understand this.

Wow, love these pictures! Part of the job of parenting is creating lasting memories, and it looks like you scored 15/10 on this one.

Thank you for the pointer. Reading "Nickel and Dimed" some years ago opened my eyes to this topic, and it certainly relates to this, especially once you consider charging cost. Public chargers are typically 3-4x the cost of charging at home.

Is this just a product number, or 256 kW, as in kilowatts? Either way, compared to a modern AI data center, this is energy well spent!

Consider that by driving an EV, you give less money to oil industry assholes. You are not going to dismantle the Capitalist hellscape tomorrow, but you can keep chiseling away at it, right? There's lots of us.

Hey, even if I had unlimited funds, I would still “prefer” not to have a ton of money evaporate into depreciation… Maybe I am just cheap 😀

Jan Schiefer @janschiefer.bsky.social · 22/09/2026
Depreciation of EVs is insane, which is why you may prefer to buy used. Lots of them are coming off lease this year and next, check this out: www.caranddriver.com/news/a700209....

Why 2026 Will Be a Great Time to Buy a Used EV
A flood of off-lease EVs will soon start hitting dealers, driving down prices.

I hear you, same for me! We bought an Ioniq5 anyway, and the handles at least have mechanical linkage, and there is a key hole underneath, and it doesn't need to drop the windows to open the door. So I made my peace with it. Still stupid, though.

Sad when companies add all these gimmicks, which distract from their past greatness. Like Spotify's multi-device UX is fantastic, but then they add this stuff as filler. Like when you expect a really nice soup, but it's all potatoes.

Good news: my vacuum sealer has a "convenient drip tray". Bad news: I learned about said drip tray by the device peeing crab juice all over my shirt Good news: I learned about this today, rather than 3 months from now. Also, there is crab in the freezer.

Pro tip: Fall yard cleanup is a lot more fun if it involves a hose, bare feet, and you give yourself license to be as messy as you want. Basically, channel your inner 10year-old.

If you live in the Pacific Northwest and haven't yet driven across the North Cascades Highway (SR20) in the fall, you absolutely need to do this!

OMG thank you for this! It’s been over 20 years since I was in Aotearoa, but I have fond memories of Ginger Crunches. Never found a recipe that matched my memories; maybe this is the one!

We need to abandon or reframe these terms (1 in 1000 years etc), because they are based on a climate that no longer exists. They have little meaning going forward.
