Anyway buffoonish hack Ed Martin probably won’t approve charges against right-wingers. So if you’re in DC, deciding what level of force to use against a Trumpist, consider they can kill or assault or rape you without being charged or with the promise of a pardon, and act accordingly.

46F feels so nice! Sunglasses vs goggles, no balaclava, one less layer on my torso and legs, Hokas instead of hiking boots, lighter weight gloves. Feels so much more free on my commute.

I've said, for a long time, that RU's 2016 operation was the most successful intelligence operation in recent history. I think people may finally start agreeing with me...

still projected to be released in the 2nd half of the calendar year, contrary to @zamafir.bsky.social's doom and gloom 14,000 lb towing, 2,625 lb payload remain, and the REEV powertrain will be great for towing over meaningful distances. 91.8 kWh pack + Atkinson cycle Pentastar spinning a generator

As a follow up to my (ultimately unsuccessful) tale of trying to revive the power button on my Outdoor Research heated gloves: the warranty replacement current color scheme mittens arrived today. They fit me, are nicely constructed, and now I have yet another charger and pair of batteries.

got word that one of my online acquaintances has R-35 walls and R-70 in his roof. I am at R-38 in the walls and R-50 in the roof, at least when the house was new in 2015 therefore getting some quotes to up my roof insulation game. (Xcel actually has rebates, but I'll be ineligible starting at R-50)

AI “intelligence” in action: sure, Amazon, my ID.Buzz definitely has a windshield peculiar enough such that a crack repair kid won’t be compatible (caught a stone over the weekend, right in my line of sight.)

Now that Juiced has been out of business for a while the chances of me getting a Juiced-wired ebikes.ca discount Cycle Satiator are about nil, I figure I thus poked around a minute on eBay the other week and found this.

Tokyo Disney hotel booked. Went with the MiraCosta at DisneySea. I think that completes the last of what I must do wrt trip booking until JR Pass (May 9) and Disney restaurant reservations (May 21 and 22) dates come to pass.

64F in Denver, 38F at Winter Park in town so probably only a few degrees cooler on mountain. Bad for snow conditions but great for summer-like hot tub time

Skied. Forgot a boot bag at the house and middle kid was distraught enough from not sleeping well that she ultimately hung out at the house (and indeed slept more). Bigly lines today: recent powder, peak season Saturday, and a race day to boot. We ultimately skied a few hours then called it early.

the Busy Forks took 1:40 to get topped up on 12 cent/kWh off peak, carbon-offset electricity at 7.1 kW the Buzz will charge on 8.744 cent/kWh off peak electricity up here at 9.2 kW, finishing up around 4 in the morning, ready to carry us to the ski resort with aplomb (at-home charging is the way.)
