I hate when I rent an EV on a trip and they tell me it must come back on the same percentage battery. Not a problem until they give it to you with a 100% charge.
Rule of thumb is that it usually takes as long to go 0-80 as it does 80-100 when fast charging. It’s also not super great to always be charging to 100% on non LFP batteries.
Part of me thinks they do that so it’s harder not to pay the recharge fee.
PEOPLE!!!!! I MAY SPEAK NOW! I have been awarded a spot on the Australian Society of Author's mentorship program to finish my novel, Rice. Which is based on the story in my Secret Heart zine ... a true story about a woman in my family. If you want to check the zine out, link in my bio! #author #writing https://www.asauthors.org.au/news/2026-tasmanian-writers-and-illustrators-mentorship-program-recipients/
Super cool that my gym just straight up has a dedicated private posing/photo room full of mirrors and lights

Hello friend!!!
If you have a moment, would you please send @WahFo some hugs and soothing words? He's been dealing with a lot of anxiety regarding a lot of different things recently and he could use the kindness you regularly show me in spades.
Thank you dear friend. A reply on this post or one of his would help!

I want to help keep my iPhone secure in a breast pocket.
I was wondering if I could use a MagSafe “PopSocket” base, with cloth of the pocket between the base and the phone. Sort of help secure the phone in place.
Probably depends a lot on both the phone case thickness and thickness and movement of the cloth. May not be feasible.

Okay, I'm ready to return to Mastodon. I was finally able to customize my server to let me post up to 2000 characters and not the default 500. That was a dealbreaker for me :-)
I really wish companies would stop conflating what idiot investors want vs. what actual customers want. Your customers pay your bills. Your investors want to buy you cheap and sell you high before you crash.
Only one keeps you afloat.

Another week, no response from the WA unemployment office about my case. Reading online that it can take "up to 30 days"
Renewing the push to cover rent and bills for August as I'm currently overdrawn due to being double-billed for internet >: (thanks Ziply!).

GoFundme has been gently suggesting I end my campaign early due to not getting any donations in 7+ days. Any support I can get to push toward the 100% mark would have me beyond thankful ;-;
Absolute certainty is the worst thought-terminating concept of all time and there's nothing that can convince me otherwise. 😏
Possibly the most minor bug in #ivoryapp - highlight color seemed to change on its own to a lighter shade. (I feel kinda wierd even pinging them for this. But who knows maybe there’s an underlying pattern somewhere.)

@DeltaWye the animals adopted you!!!!
Added - this has some good explanations. (It also mentions the normalization of abuse.)
I don’t understand this seemingly generational “I really hate my wife” culture/humor, and how for a lot of people it’s pretty normalized.
I've always hated owning a printer, but yet love reading and working on paper.
Everything about the experience of owning one has been terrible and the design held back by adversarial behavior against the user.
The open hardware Open Printer feels very different, designed from first principles to be easy to assemble, maintain, and repair, ensuring longevity 😍

Finished another retro Mac #NerdStitch cross-stitch project. This is the original splash screen from the 1984 “Alice” chess game (Through the Looking Glass).
I always loved the original Mac black and white graphics, and this was an iconic example.
