I see the old “too many people are going to university to do Mickey Mouse degrees” trope is doing the rounds again. My son did a degree in Comedy Writing and Performance. Did he get a job in the creative industries? No. Is he earning a good salary? Also no. But he was greatly enriched by studying something he was passionate about for three years. What is wrong with just learning for learning’s sake? Education is not supposed to be merely a mechanism for churning out workers

To explain, this is my car's vehicle-to-load function in action.

A simple adapter signals the car to backfeed AC voltage from an inverter to the charge port (This is a generic adapter, btw, teardowns of the official unit reveal it's basically just a resistor across the control pins).

This adapter turns the car into a generator capable of running basic necessities for days. You gave the full 15A of any outlet at your disposal.

Pretty neat™

Finally managed to put into words how I feel about "I've done my research".

The best research involves testing your preconceptions, pushing hard against biases and untruths to catch a glimpse of the world as it really is. And that's often shrouded in fog because good data and good analysis are both hard problems.

Mostly people find a story that resonates and then use the lens of that story that to look at the world. They repeat "evidence" for their story but don't question it critically.

Kevin McCarthy is already the weakest Speaker of the House in our nation’s history.

And if you think the Republican Party has hit rock bottom, you ain’t seen nothin’ yet.

This is a really tedious way to learn the names of all the members of congress.

Kevin McCarthy is now set to LOSE for the 9th time.

While on the subject of highway driving, I *desperately* need the entire driving public to understand the difference between these two signs please and thank you.
