I'm doing my Saturday thrifting in the least reliable, sensible, or convenient vehicle I own. Maybe I'll buy less. Maybe this won't end in a tow call. Maybe this will be reflected upon as a good idea!18 Apr 2026 15:11 +0000at://did:plc:jx6q76ci5hvfe6kffbito34s/app.bsky.feed.post/3mjrpyazcm22bhttps://bsky.app/profile/ecodweeb.bsky.social/post/3mioos3ous22xI am so glad Rivian added these 300kW DC Fast chargers in Henderson, NC. The Walmart here is sketchy buy the Ollie's seems a tad safer. Pricey (55¢/kWh) but yo be out of here in 25m with a 90% charge state (started at 18%) is worth it.

On this anniversary, I'm transporting a Siamese cat to their forever home. The trip was an excellent opportunity to test my complimentary Hyundai J3400 adapter (I had a Kona before) with my Kia EV6 at the new Ionna rechargery in Winston-Salem, NC.04 Apr 2026 15:19 +0000at://did:plc:jx6q76ci5hvfe6kffbito34s/app.bsky.feed.post/3miojuiboos2xhttps://bsky.app/profile/ecodweeb.bsky.social/post/3milorkp7gk2pI look & feel bloated, but this is the most I've deadlifted since early-mid Feb. I'm proud of myself for not giving up, for keeping on in spite of the ennui from a reduced workout. While I may not be ready for the Glizzies competition this year, I'll be a beat at it next year. #thistooshallpass03 Apr 2026 12:09 +0000at://did:plc:jx6q76ci5hvfe6kffbito34s/app.bsky.feed.post/3milorkp7gk2phttps://bsky.app/profile/ecodweeb.bsky.social/post/3mii55zahuc2uThis is a 2011 Volt with 216k. Its battery still gives 22-24 mile range when warm (35 when new). Owner's put 15k mi on it since getting ~4 years ago, 85% of miles have been off the battery and my friend uses less than 5 tanks of gas per year.

The song tells a full story (tho I needed subtitles to understand the story). The animation is classic. And the show was funny, despite the controversy over Fran Drescher's voice.

REx tried to kicked on but the battery dropped from 7% to 1% cause of a know SW bug (fixed in 2019) before REx could warm up and provide backup power. He's blocking a road in a construction zone.
