My charge from last night on a 30A charger (7.2 kW at 240V).

This is why I'm always harping on the "stop installing giant charger circuits" thing! Even this is a luxury - I only charge about weekly or if I make a long trip.

For USians, a 10 gauge run of wiring will deliver 5 kW sustained. You'll only ever think that's slow if you drive a TON and/or have a really big vehicle.

Especially if you're thinking of DIYing an install, 10 gauge is so much easier to deal with.

My Mum is very stressed at the moment so I'm taking her for a roast on Sunday.

FYI, if you support the #AudioPorn project on Patreon, some of that £ covers my time to produce/edit/record/commission/write the smut that you can hear FOR FREE on my site. Which also means a tiny bit of your £ will go towards buying my Mum a mushroom wellington and isn't that wholesome.

The same is true of all porn you pay for: #PayForYourPorn, we sometimes use it to treat our mums.

They cancelled my surgery. I have to start the entire process over. I wish I was joking!

A friend of mine just shared this because some random bigot on his FB was kicking off that the Duo owl would be pro-LGBT+ rights ("I'll DELETE THE APP!! OMG"). Obviously this is hilariously tragic and bigots should fuck off but I feel like there's a deeper question that needs answering here.

Namely: why does this owl have tits?

Is the Duolingo owl... a mammal?

In the first criminal trial of a former US president, the Trump hush money case is now in the hands of a NYC jury to render a verdict after 70 minutes of instructions to the panel from the judge.

I guess About by PCalc for Vision Pro came out just too late to make it into the running for “exceptional spatial experiences” 😅

I'm doing this tomorrow, and I am so prepared: all my little numbered stickers stuck to the right bits of my bike, pannier packed with things I might need, cycling clothes laid out on the bed so I can grab them in the morning. Now to begin the process of completely shitting myself and wishing I had never signed up to do something even vaguely outside my comfort zone. https://www.ridelondon.co.uk/our-rides/ridelondon-essex-60

So I just had a transphobe try to piggy-back off a recent popular post I made, presumably to gain reach. i have a decent following here on fedi, but am a micro instance. They too were a micro instance. By default, people on micro instances are not easily discoverable other than by interaction, so if you have a following on one, it’s generally because you’ve built it “organically”, as it were.

They presumably thought that by posting transphobic rage bait in response to me, they could get me to reply, and my reply would federate to my followers, and then they’’d be seen.

Instead I just instantly defederated their server with no response.

They are howling into the void, and nobody is there to hear.

This is not Twitter. Just because someone replies to your thread doesn’t mean the rest of the word will see it. This is the achillies heal of bigots here. Most big instances will moderate them into oblivion, so they start micro instances, but unless people actually like what you’re saying, and interact, you simply won’t federate.

And they won’t even know I made this post now. LMAO! LOL!

@ianbetteridge I’m currently on holiday, and took a couple of snaps yesterday for your enjoyment. Looks like Mushroom is no more, though. We did look. (We wandered around Hockley and the Lace Market area)

Good to see Ice Nine is still there. As a youngster, it used to puzzle me as to why someone would name a shop for something so deadly. But now I get that it’s just a cool reference.
