I have some good news for you: https://www.geotab.com/blog/ev-battery-health/

I have one of those Bolts.

Not only was the battery replaced, the 8 year warranty on it was reset. Also, the idea that EV batteries die after a couple of years like in phones was unfounded. The batteries in EVs are actually properly temperature regulated unlike the ones in mobile phones. The primary degradation in an EV battery happens when the battery is new and stays basically flat for the rest of its life.

EVs have been on the road long enough for studies to determine that most batteries will last at least as long as most people will own the car.

I was paying $385 per month in gas for an Astra hatchback, which is not exactly a gas guzzler, though I did live in the mountains at the time.

I replaced it with a Bolt EV and the hit to my electric bill was about $50 with the same commute.

Pixel 8 pro here. I haven’t seen it either.

Here is an excerpt of the table of contents for the book “Linux Application Development”:

• Process Primitives
  • Having Children
  • Watching Your Children Die
  • Running New Programs
  • A Bit of History: vfork()
  • Killing Yourself
  • Killing Others
  • Dumping Core
• Simple Children
  • Running and Waiting with system()
  • Reading or Writing from a Process

It’s actually quite a good book.

Yes. I have a personal app that I made many years ago and used on my Pixel 4 and 6. It would not work on my 8 until I updated the sdk version and some of the tooling.

This is likely the issue. Both of those woods are famously incompatible with normal stains. Gel stains are what most people recommend for those woods. I have also had decent luck with Saman stains with the right preparation and great results with Omnia natural oil.

Which is Natureworks PLA. I suspect a number of the types listed in this thread is as well. Eureka is nice in that they list exactly which source material it is right on the spool. Plus they use cardboard spools with the empty spool weight listed. Brilliant.

Just because you have a job doesn’t mean you are good at it.

I have an an electric car that has a 66kwh battery and I track everything. It’s not even in the top 3 categories of usage in my house. It only runs a few hours when I plug it in, which is 1 or 2 times a week. It also only charges at night, because the car has this super advanced technology where it can tell what time it is.

Every time these stories come out all of you people come out of the woodwork with your “the grid can’t handle it” bullshit, but it seems you all haven’t got the slightest fucking clue or are just being disingenuous. All you do is regurgitate long debunked Facebook myths and repeat them for every new story that mentions EVs in any way hoping to convince some more suckers.

The power company in my region is literally telling people in advertisements they should install heat pumps and buy EVs. Why the fuck would they do that if it would collapse their infrastructure?

I use Home Assistant for that. It ties everything together quite nicely.

Also, a lot of the generic devices are really Tuya devices and can be controlled using a single instance of Tuya Smart Life.
