It’s a trade off because it’s handy when you’re at an appointment.

One of mine is a mallet toe. I need to get that fixed sometime.

My EV has been from Minneapolis to Key West, Seattle, Toronto and plenty of shorter road trips. I don’t stray far off the beaten path but I haven’t had issues charging.

I have a wand thing with microfiber pads. Not only does it allow me to reach the the windshield in front of me, I can clean the passenger side as well.

Just transfer ownership to the company that has the tools and lease it back.

The service whose lifetime is over is the “lifetime price lock”.

My current pet peeve is Email servers (MS Office) configured to only allow connections from outlook. I’d be happy to add an account to Aquamail but they won’t let me. So no work emails on my phone or personal laptop.

Lifetime of the service not of the human paying for it. 😊

That car had AP1 which used hardware developed by MobileEye. Tesla doest like licensing software so they ditched that for a homegrown solution.

I’ve been listening to it for over 40 years and it still fucking rocks.

My sons 2015 Nissan Juke has this and it’s so annoying.

I started getting messages every week from a carbon black scan blocking access to some npm’s package.json.

IT just white listed files named package.json.

IT is an administrative function and is really part of operations.

Software development is generally a creative position and is a profit center. If you work somewhere where you develop internal apps, you may have a different perspective.

It goes both ways. At my old job, they took away local admin. But for some reason they configured visual studio to run as admin. So, I just wrote a little program that opens the shell. Whenever I needed admin, I just ran that program from Visual Studio.

My grocery store ways texts a photo of what’s available and I tell them what will work.

Bought a really nice TV a couple of years ago. About a month later, the manufacturer had a really big price drop. Microcenter has a really nice 60 or 90 day price guarantee so I popped into the local store and got about $800 back.

In the US we actually do have municipal electric companies. But the vast majority are private for profit companies.

Most of us do it online now.

We managed to wire up large swaths of rural area for electricity back in the 1930’s

And the HR lady at my old job got pissy when I called myself Chief Bit Twiddler.
