Cars Kinda Suck RN 1/3: Are EVs Worth it?

In April my car was in the shop three times. It was supposed to be one trip (O2 sensor, evap leak, & tires), but it wound up being divided into thr...

Made a blog post about electric vehicles, and whether they make sense from a cost/practicality standpoint (at least in my situation). #blog #blogstr #ev

Bit of a busy month, just had 860 miles approved for reimbursment in May.

Walmart garden center doesn't want you to know this, but plants can grow more plants. I never heard of tissue culture before, but even as a kid I did the room temp IQ version of sticking a plant cutting in water and making two plants. Maybe someday I'll get myself a couple acres and clone myself some berry plants and trees and get a mini permiculture setup.

It's 4:53AM and the sunrise is already beginning, the summer solstice is definitely getting close.

Apparently, this has existed for a while. I am apparently way out of the loop on Amazon lote View quoted note →

Went on a chilly ride this morning My car needed some work done, so that's in the shop and I figured I'd take my motorcycle in to work today. Though of course, lol, nothing can ever be so simple - had battery issues and it turned out to be a lot colder this morning than expected (had to scrape ice off the inside of my helmat, and did a lot of driving with an open visor). But at least I made it to work, and it's supposed to get a lot warmer later today and tomorrow. #motorcycles #substr

I wanted to try out NIP-B0 (public bookmarks/link aggregation), and since it looks like most clients are works in progress, I wound up vibing a fork of MKpinja.

It's not exactly a premium client, you're probably better off using using a different bookmarking client once some better clients finish supporting the NIP. But if anyone wanted to give it a try it's there in the meantime. Honestly, the setup was really easy. Hadn't used Shakespeare before, I plugged in a free OpenRouter model and it went pretty seamlessly. Total cost for a custom client with a feature combo I was looking for (and couldn't find elsewhere) was $0 to build and deploy. #nostr #vibecoding #NIP-B0

Growing tomatoes from a McDonald's burger I'm thinking about trying it this spring. Something about growing tomatos from a McDonald's burger just seems ironic.
