Doing it in a Lisp I’ve been writing in Ruby will have me giving up even sooner, but it will be fun!

I'm always sort of amazed how well Windows 3.x runs on hardware that would have been a bit old even when 3.0 was released.

One example leg was 156mi using 84% of battery in 30F weather. The stats said I lost 13.1% due to a 9.5mph wind, and 1.3% for low tire pressure. I topped the tires up after that one. When it was well below 0 I was doing less. I still got where I was going, but I spent so much time charging, and it's not cheap enough that the time cost made any sense.

Some of my legs really did need close to 100% to get to the next charger with any margin for error. That means sitting at a charger for 30-60 minutes at times. Several of the chargers were in locations that didn't feel safe, so I actually took a longer route back to hit different chargers.

Keep in mind that probably like most people, long road trips are infrequent. In daily use it's charged every morning (at cheap rates) and ready to go, no matter the temperature. Plus I warm it up without needing to open the garage! I will take another car for a long trip now, but I still like having an EV for daily driving.

Some of our Lego is from the 1950s, and my daughter is the third generation playing with it. Surely 60+ years of use is a pretty good run for something made of plastic.

"Autosteer is intended for use on controlled-access highways with a fully attentive driver. Do not use Autosteer in construction zones, or in areas where bicyclists or pedestrians may be present."

GM and Ford both restrict their systems to controlled access highways, and are hands free when doing so. I wish Tesla would do something similar.

On Sublime, it's a great editor, and being cross platform is really nice. They really do need to update the web site to reflect that it's not dead. The "see what's new" link is dated 2021.

A while back I wrote a MU*-style system in Ruby, using js as the scripting language. It has a web based tool that gives object owners a URL for each object, which lets them edit the attributes and code in a better way than just line oriented editing. It also lets external services call back to that object to trigger actions.

I never did anything much with it though.

Nova is wonderful.

Personally I've found 2600 carts to be pretty durable. Almost all of the carts I bought new still work, and I still use them frequently!
