What I found out on the Healey charger: you need a city parking permit or a school permit. Very interesting to see if that gets enforced.

Also, it means you need to have a city parking sticker. I do have one, but it could easily be that I didn't have one since I have a driveway and don't need street parking typically.

I logged in to 311 to ask a question about the new charger at the Healey school, and there was messaging about EVs. Now: is this posted to the EV charger apps? Nope. So you could get there and not know there's a problem.

This is my current favorite designation.

Verizon 5G, $35/month for the 300 mbps / 20 up plan (my needs are not huge, this does the TV streaming and the zoom meetings just fine).

Somerville MA. Was previously paying 3x that for crappy Astound service at half the speed.

Heh. You are welcome. This is how I found out too--a random discussion.

There's a company near me that is piloting a mobile charging service. https://www.sparkcharge.io/

When the charges on our thru-way all failed over Memorial Day weekend, they provided the emergency service. I heard they were also in talks with AAA to be something that a tow truck could carry, or some emergency service vehicle.

Solutions exist. Just not yet at scale.

My EV came with a compressor in the trunk. Last time I needed to fill the tires it worked fine.

I didn't even realize this until one day on the Nissan Leaf discussion boards, which led to a hilarious discussion of a whole bunch of us who had no idea we were carrying our own solution to this....

This whole spectacle is atrocious, but it's part of a series of atrocious nonsense. Worse streaming series evah.

That's wonderful. Great job.

Ah, right. I was wondering if we could go back to the golden age of science blogs as all the other social channels were imploding....

I was still posting at reddit until recently--but I noticed that even the top items in r/science are getting half the score they used to.

Well, as one of my advisors used to say in grad school: "Evolve or die". Nice to see you here too!

They never regenerate the same. What I miss is the institutional [metaphorically] memory of an affinity group.

But new people and new ideas are nice too.

Well, I heard a talk from Antarctica recently. There aren't a ton of people there, but they seem to be opposed to misinformation, especially on climate, as far as I could tell.

They author provided a PDF token to the paper, but it wouldn't work in the top link.

Here's the author link, if it works.

If that doesn't work, here's his toot: https://mastodon.social/@Drand@techhub.social/110628591934679821

Twitter would have been my choice before, but I made my account private because....well--gestures vaguely....

The form was pretty simple, and doesn't announce the location publicly. They also replied quickly. So I was glad to know the rescue was underway.

TIL that the moderation logs are public. That was kind of surprise to look through.

Huge, if true. I think a lot of people in rural areas need to be exposed to something besides Christian radio....

And it really could benefit people who have jobs that can be WFH now--people could live in these dying towns with real incomes, money to spend, and kids in the school systems.

I hope they get it right.

Ya know, what drew me to lace was that I had absolutely no idea how it was made, and I was determined to figure it out. If I didn't know, I would also be confused. Totally fair.

Yellow lace became fashionable for a brief time, but quickly became part of a scandal. It's reference here, but was apparently quite the 17th century soap opera:

https://www.sophieploeg.com/blog/to-sit-is-to-act/

Yellow lace was made fashionable by Anne Turner, the Lady in waiting of Lady Somerset but executed in 1615 for her role in a murder plot, after which yellow lace quickly disappeared from the fashion scene.

Yes, this is one that I own and would recommend as a reference book. You won't read it cover to cover, but you want to have it around to pull it out when trying to assess something, you know? And the image quality is good. Much better cost point than the Santina Levey bible.
