I like driving. My commute is not so busy that I have to deal with slowdowns, I can listen to whatever while I go to and from work. It’s a nice little break where I decide what is happening. A manual transmission would add to the sense of control, but alas, I haven’t bought one of those. Also strictly enforced speed limits limit the enjoyment.

Using some of the incoming power to run the AC seems reasonable. Especially when the battery is above 75% charged. It would be interesting if the AC would go harder for more minutes per hour as the charge level gets higher.

Has anyone found the places where the navigators work to see how it goes? Has a navigator shared their experience on the web somewhere?

I am very curious as to what they are asked to do and for how many cars And for how much money

Packaging the job as a video game side quest is genius. Make so the gamer has to do several simulated runs before they connect to an actual car, and give in-game expensive consequences for messing it up

Please get a good night’s sleep, eat breakfast, take a walk outside, then pick up a dictionary for reference and rewrite this post.

Thanks, I hate it (Suno song generator)

Power saving mode. The maximum power saving mode allows for just a few apps to run at all, so picking out the apps that are for communication gets the outcome you’re looking for, as long as you keep the phone on that maximum power saving mode.

I had a phone with a physical keyboard that small. Surprisingly easy to work with.

So changeable keys on a touchscreen, but with physical buttons on top. Sign me up!

Yeah, I think it’s fun and funny to play with but terrible to try to make money off of it.

Sounds like a kit car or rebuild of a less than sporty classic would be ideal for your commuter car.

Well, I wasn’t interested in Jeep before, now I’m decidedly against buying a new one.

Fixing safety issues would have to include that sharp front end. Maybe just ditch the entire “stainless” exterior and restyling the whole thing would help with that.

Pretty much start with the battery pack and drivetrain, start over after that.

The fumes and noise of those little engines makes me excited that the battery versions are taking over.

One solution might be to have gaming systems at your house that your nephew is allowed to play when he’s there. Not the nephew’s system at your place, your system that you and him and your brother all play together whenever they visit.

Bonus points if it’s a system you and your brother used to play back in the day.

Oh yeah! Good addition

Speaking to those in the U.S., Your local library has a huge collection of DVDs. Your local thrift shop and eBay have blu ray players (most of which will upscale DVDs during playback) for cheap.

Fall Guy

This movie is so fun! I often like the behind-the-scenes of movies more than the actual movie, so this one is perfect. So many references to other movies, and many many meta jokes built around this being a movie about the making of a movie kept me highly entertained

That one seems like it would be easy to remake with current day components. Keep the display the same to extend battery life, give it smarter internals and slimmer design. That could be the work phone, the texting phone, the going hiking phone, the daily driver that has several days of battery life.

But the more I think about it, a Bluetooth keyboard paired with a normal smartphone would not need its own phone plan and would provide the physical buttons for typing. It just won’t be as cool as that thing.

Thank you for reminding me of Thinkpads. I’d like to track down a used or refurbished one for home use to survive kiddos
