Another ski day win. Found the chargers that were redeployed here at Sunday River. These were originally Tesla destination chargers (basically level 2). Those got ripped out and now they’re .. SWTCH ? I really dislike The balkanization of ev apps. But I’m happy to be able to charge while skiing

Another good day of skiing at Sunday River. Mighty cold and gray but I feel like I have my second wind now. After being sick over Xmas break this feels like a return to activeness.
2 more days here. Tomorrow is supposed to be sunnier. We’ll see!

Just made an escape run ahead of the winter storm up to Maine to start a ski week. We managed the entire drive with zero snow falling. Timed it perfectly even with recharging stops.
Snow started just as we finished unloading.
Yay winter vaca.

Trump is wanting greenland - not for strategy, not for resources, but it makes him feel good to own stuff.
I hate this so much. The convicted felon and rapist is destroying NATO and the US economy because of his tiny dick need to own shit.

Amazing to think not that long ago, when we were sick, this was how we let our parents know we needed something.

Welp, I've unsubbed to Forrest Auto Reviews on YT. I respect people's personal beliefs, but ascribing your own personal success to god's influence, then telling everyone to do the same? Cmon.

Why Apple? Why do you keep coming up with special snowflake UX decisions that are just... what?
Pasting into Notes. The world uses command-v to paste. shift-command-v to paste without formatting.
Apple? Nah bro, just ask a friend for some more fingers.

Dear Apple. You really need to stop doing this . "Download this app to access your mortgage information" "okee, search -> THE ACTUAL APP NAME"
And the first hit is a crypto app. Nothing to do with what I'm asking for.
How is this good for your user base?

I completely misread this as "PICASSOS VULVA" and, welp, I may have my next band name.
(Also, ya'll should listen to Radio Paradise. One of the few real live independent music streams left in the world)

Absolute surprise on the way across Oregon. Found the Evergreen Aviation and Space Museum. "Sure, lets stop in."
Wait. Is that. Can't be. THATS THE SPRUCE GOOSE - not a copy, not a model, the ACTUAL AIRPLANE.
I'm absolutely blown away.

Goodness Discord for Linux updates a lot. (I mean, I guess as often as the desktop version does. I get "Downloading updates!" pretty regularly). But it's sorta neat seeing the version progression.

I do love my 3dprinter.
I needed a way to keep my storage boxes (cheap plastic ammo Moses) from sliding around on the shelf in the jeep. Lo, a design that works! Printed these up and they’re perfect fits.

This is why Craigslist is failing and, like it or hate it, Facebook Marketplace has replaced it. After decades of use, I'm firnly convinced Craigslist is wholly owned by this motorcycle guy. No amount of filters or reporting make these things stop showing up in literally every single search.

Took the jeep out for a few days camping at the beach. Going to a longer event soon and wanted to do a shakedown. All gear is good and the tents are in good shape. I love this thing :). Also brought the new e-bike. Hope to ride into town later today.

Welp, apparently YouTube thinks bsky is a dangerous site. Wanna place bets on whether this warning is appearing on links to Facebook, X, or TruthSocial?

Unfortunately, Facebook has become the place to find events, things for sale, and business pages for businesses who think a facebook page is a business page.
But the event search is just sad.
"Hey, show me events aorund me related to (subject)" - in 2025, this search looks like this?
