I became utterly depressed with how I no longer find PC experimentation fun, no dumpster diving anymore because no pcs out laying by the road. Ever since Dosbox/GNU/Linux things just work and that irritates me. I am no longer needed, I am too old since the internet made me obsolete :( those …

All in all we are only using about 50% of our range on average between stops. This is giving a nice buffer to hit the next stop if there is a issue with a charger, and also avoiding 80% plus is actually saving a lot of time. The last 20% is slow charge. this sounds like a good strategy for EVs I …
