  • Tesla is such a clear symptom of this. I love cars. I’m on the left. Both groups hate Tesla by majority. The left hates Musk and fascism. Car enthusiasts lean right and hate EVs for being boring/what they consider fascism (EV mandates that they don’t understand). The left reports they’ve left tesla for other EVs. The gearheads keep showing “proof” EV (Tesla) sales are down and the truck segment keeps showing how bad the cyber truck is. And yet, I continue to see brand new Teslas driving around. There’s a ~2023 model refresh on the 3/Y that makes them stand out. I see a different cyber truck almost daily (most I see are vinyl wrapped a different color to be unique).

    They don’t give a shit about the big picture. It’s a personal-gain-today decision.


  • By me, the overnight temperature rises have usually come with precipitation behind it. The opposite has happened where temperatures drop after 9am with drier winds. I can’t exactly say it’s normal or that I’m particularly knowledgeable on the matter, but I’ve independently theorized it’s really just standing out now because I frequently look at hourly forecasts. Between hobbies and maintenance, I’m now interested in such a granular report. I didn’t always have to care this much and got by just fine with morning/afyernoon/evening/overnight





  • Is there lint packed into the bottom of the port? It’s not just dust on the contacts making a bad connection, it’s dust shoved into the bottom physically preventing the plug from inserting fully. I out my faith in smart ports and use the metal Sim eject tool, alternating with air. Canned air is best, but I’ve done just fine with a hard cheek-loaded puff. Both my type-c phones (pixel 3a, pixel 7) have shiny port floors (the 0) so it’s pretty obvious when I clean it properly





  • I used to nap daily for 20-40 mins on a 1-hour lunch in my car. I hated the job and had a 75 minute commute while never letting myself go to bed early enough. I got pretty good at it and can nap pretty effectively. 26 minutes is how long you want to be asleep for, according to NASA. It helps to have a routine to make both falling asleep and waking easier
