My therapist recommended this for me, or esketamine which my insurance may cover, but my doctor thought trying a regular antidepressant first was best, despite having tried many before.
I am doing better than I was, for sure, but I do wonder if I could be even better. I’m also honestly lucky to have made it through the dark period before the meds kicked in.
What car do you drive where charging stops are that long? My average Supercharging session in my base Model 3 is 9 minutes. That’s barely enough time to go pee and walk my dog.
I strongly prefer road-tripping my EV because the natural breaks mean I arrive more refreshed and less sore.
They are genuinely more reliable. Having more stalls does help for when there’s issues, but they have 99.96% uptime across the entire network. I’ve had to move stalls once in my almost 3 years of ownership.
They also have their own service people that travel to chargers to fix them, where Electrify America hires local electrical contractors that may not be experts on DC Fast Charging equipment.
Edit: ran some numbers and I’ve charged 109 times on Superchargers. One failed session. I live in the rural Midwest/South so it’s not like I’m in EV heaven either.
You’re not unlucky, in the U.S. any charger that isn’t made by Tesla is unreliable. It’s been getting worse over time, and the only real hope is that every manufacturer is switching to Tesla’s charge port (now called NACS) and getting access to their Superchargers.
I had a non-Tesla EV and eventually got a Tesla because I need to road trip regularly and can’t handle chargers being down.
I switched to Android a few months ago and expected to want to switch away from Apple Music, but their Android app is excellent. Plus they have lossless quality. Oh, and you can upload your own music to their cloud for streaming anywhere.
to be fair the shit is expensive and insurance won’t often cover it
Do you use Cloudflare DNS (1.1.1.1)? They block it because they remove some trackable information from requests.
Such a wonderful phone! The pop up camera is so nice for privacy. I got a new phone and gave it to a friend and they still daily drive it happily.
oh thank god I have been dying without night light
Ooh I’ll finally have to switch! One less app sucking up battery in the background 😍
LiFePO4 batteries like being charged up high, so you’re probably fine keeping them plugged in.
You’re right about not going under 20% often, but you’ll want to charge to 100% at least periodically to allow the cells to balance.
Edit: Please make sure you’re looking up information on Lithium Iron Phosphate batteries specifically, they behave differently from standard lithium batteries and a lot of the advice shared here won’t apply.
Hmm if only there were something other than a massive tower that caused environmental issues and a single family home 🤔
Good thing the Volt has a really well-designed battery that you’ll basically never need to replace. The management system babies those cells.
There’s a reason people love crashed volts for DIY battery storage and EV conversions.
They really don’t. It’s not like after 10 years your battery just explodes and stops working. They lose a little bit of capacity and work just fine.
I have a 5 year old EV with barely any battery degredation. That I bought used!
that’s… nearly as weird?
I set up a new HA install a couple months ago and didn’t write any YAML. It was kind of nice? The UI tools have come a long way and it discovered all my devices which had never happened before.
The thread you shared is worrying though, it’s the complete opposite of the spirit of FOSS. I should probably reconsider paying for their subscription at a minimum.
Their software is actually good though, unlike anything GM has produced so far.
There have been CarPlay compatible cars on the market for 8 years now and they work fine with newer iPhones. Hell, Apple still supports the iPod USB protocol for even older cars on new iPhones.
It’s not much of a concern, in my opinion. And I drive a car with no CarPlay and only built-in infotainment lol
Yeah, digital task management or note taking has never worked well for me. It’s best if I write things down, then fill out Jira or whatever
You can use the left scroll wheel on your steering wheel to adjust the wipers once you’ve pressed for a single wipe. Just click it right for more, left for less. No need to look at the screen at all really. There’s a little graphic on the wiper controls showing you this.
