I just discovered the trip odometer in my car has never been reset. It’s matching the car odometer (in the lower right)..

Good to have a reminder every once in a while. It's easy to do, and the problem is likely to get worse. So make it a habit.

elevators are proof that even when you make a UI as simple as it can possibly get, you’re still going to have a lot of people that are not going to understand and they’re not going to want to bother to understand, and then they’re wasting theirs and other peoples’ time.

do you keep supplies in your car? I loaded up the Frunk of my Ioniq 5 with a bunch of stuff for many different situations.

This past week, I decided to retire my 2013 Camry and purchased a 2024 Ioniq 5 EV and today I took a train ride with @mipsprotogen.bsky.social and picked it up from the dealership. I’m proud to say I am now an EV owner, and I look forward to new adventures with this new car :3

if you ride a bicycle, don’t do this. You’ll just make people hate you. They were blocking half of the bike rack.

Neat little pair of goodwill finds today - this ~1975 GE “Power Sound” speaker with built in 8 track player and one of those 8 track cassette adapters that @techconnectify.bsky.social did a video of. Needs a little bit of repair though, the electronics are tired and the volume dial is very flaky.

Smart shopping tip for the summer! In these two photos, you see three window ACs, an 8000 btu, a 5000 btu, and an 8000 btu w/inverter. The inverter is the most expensive at $400 but uses the least electricity of all 3. If you can afford the extra cost, the energy savings are worth it. Stay cool!

Did you know lithium ion battery cells can be damaged by charging them while they are hot, reducing their life? Prolonged periods of heavy current draw can heat them up as well, so last night I built this timer to automatically delay the charger for my scooter to allow the batteries to cool first.

Found a 2019 #Roomba at a yard sale this past weekend for just about nothing. I’ve always wanted one! Using #homeassistant to control it too. I will say, watching it wander around the house is like the first time you get a 3D printer, they’re both fascinating to watch at first. Robots are cool.

this morning, I feel like a Vulcan expressing their disapproval at human behaviour. As in, I am frustrated at the complete lack of logic and common sense with how people are behaving this morning.

security tip: If asked to create a PIN, choose a number that doesn’t relate to anything in your life. If asked to create security questions, give answers that don’t make any sense, and then try to remember them somehow. The less obvious you can be, the less likely someone will guess correctly.

This morning started out rough. Crashed into a snowbank while trying to avoid a driver running a stop sign, messed up my front end pretty good, but there’s no significant damage and it’s all stuff I can fix myself. Was either the snowbank or get T-boned and totaled.

We keep the bottle return bin at the bottom of the stairs. I threw my empty Gatorade bottle down without looking, and with the light off, then I heard a sound I didn’t expect to hear, so I turned on the light and there it is in that red bucket standing up. Never going to do that again.

well, that was something, wasn’t bad, but not as good as the first one. The pacing was a bit messy, and the story was a bit predictable, but the ending was probably where it jumped the shark. If they do a 3, it’s going to be real interesting…

I still want to know what asshole thought it would be a good idea to build into the DVD spec to forbid skipping logos, warnings, etc and I want to know what asshole carried this over into the blu-ray spec and I want to smack them both. Need a player with a hidden override function.

Been testing this GE window heat pump to see if it lives up to its advertising. It's rated for a minimum outside temperature of 5° F, and it's currently 9°F outside and it's putting out 88° F of heat out of its vent and drawing about 635 watts. I am impressed. #heatpump

found this tape while digging through a bunch of old VHS tapes. Damn, I remember this storm. I was a little kid but I do remember it. Playing Yahtzee in our kitchen, lit by a kerosene lamp while a kerosene stove provided heat… waiting for the power to eventually come back

Got this enormous Sony KV-30HS420 today with help from @itst3k.bsky.social. Weighs over 150 lbs but it's 1080i HD & has an HDMI port which is weird to see on a CRT TV. The picture is absolutely beautiful in person. So crisp, but so difficult to photograph. Worth over $900 but got it for super cheap.
