It is such a privilege to fuel your car for free, but highlights the potential of EVs when charging from renewables. I added over 30kWh today at home exclusively powered by solar. Total cost for this charge, $0.0 - and this is true every day.

A measles outbreak in Seminole, Texas, has grown to 159 cases, spreading quickly in a town where the kindergarten vaccination rate is just 82%. This isn’t the first major surge. In 2019, the U.S. saw over 1,200 cases, part of a pattern of periodic outbreaks since 2000.

Finally, social media that's billionaire-proof. ⚡ Bluesky's first IRL ads spotted in @boston.gov @mbta.com.

Hey US friends! If you find yourself during the US “Buy Nothing” blackout on Friday, February 28 with your USD (still $1.30 CAD) burning a hole in your virtual wallet… COME (VIRTUALLY) BUY SOME CANADIAN AND MEXICAN STUFF! 🤑 Double down on the point! 💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰

Oh no! the EV fad is OVER!!!!11!!!1 oh wait, EV sales booming again. petrol car sales falling? "EV sales in Europe surged 37.3% in January, but that wasn’t enough to prevent an overall market drop of 2.1%, as petrol and diesel car sales continue to slide." www.reuters.com/business/aut...

Ads harm the web: they slow it down, invade privacy, manipulate behavior, and even spread malware (malvertising). Removing ads from the web is the way forward. Kagi will actively down-rank sites with lots of ads and trackers in the results and promote sites with little or no advertising.

Very good news. I think we really are past peak combustion regardless of what the increasingly desperate and frantic fossil fuel shills are screaming.

This is 🔥🔥🔥!

It was the tanking US stock market that halted the tariff’s, nothing else. Just remember that folks.

Strap in for there are trade wars starting. I am going to do my best not to pick up the tab. Oh! Just incase anyone has forgotten, almost everything US households buy is made fully or in part in China.

Our Maple Syrup!!! Noooooo!

The difference between a first world country and a third is nothing to do with how wealthy a nation thinks it is. It is to do with how well the country supports all of it’s citizens & how high the universal standard of living is. The USA appears to be on a path to becoming a third world country.

Lol at Nvidia

Driving over the Bay Bridge is the last place you want your #Rivian going into turtle 🐢 mode. I am going to guess the 12v battery is dying. Rivian are coming to collect the sick car now.

Has the Rivian service mode access changed since the latest OTA? I can no longer bring up the Ride menu item #rivian /cc @riviantrackr.com

Mounting of the second solar array string completed today, completing the first phase of this build out. Next job is wiring.

In an effort to use Amazon less, I have been using the Shop app for many purchases, both for myself and others. Pros; quality, quality, quality. All the options are great. Cons; lack of free 1-day shipping. I can definitely survive without next day delivery. shop.app

Rocking out to A Night At The Hip-Hopera (20th Anniversary Edition) on the way home tonight. First time listening to this for a while, the new master works so well in the car, making me sing along all the way home. @kleptones.bsky.social any more remasters in the works, 24 Hours or Uptime/Downtime?

Lots of noise in the industry around AI taking over more junior Software Engineering tasks in less than five years. However, until AI looks at some existing code, sighs and says “Who wrote this shit? Oh it was me!”, it really isn’t going to be replacing anything.

2015. How it started. I made a short teaser for a never finished web project about the state of #flightsimulators at that point in time. How it's going. 2024. An updated trailer for youtube on the current state of desktop Flight Simulation, releasing just as we enter 2025. 🤦‍♂️ vimeo.com/194935864

Time to declutter ready for a new year- lots of stuff being added to #buynothing as I type this. If you are in the Bay Area some cool stuff is appearing now for grabs.
