Based TST. They do good work.

The Volt is a hybrid gas & electric. The gas engine is there in part to charge the battery, and in part to power the electric drivetrain.
Under normal drive conditions, the gas engine short-cycles and doesn't really come up to operating temp, which gums up the EGR valve causing the valve to pull too much current and start blowing fuses that power other critical parts of the battery charge control circuit. Left us stranded on an interstate this past spring until I could limp it to an auto parts store off the next exit to buy a replacement fuse. It ate two more before we could get home.
The workarounds to disable or bypass the EGR (for now) can cause other potential issues with the engine in the long run. Simply disconnecting the EGR keeps it from blowing fuses, but then the car isn't road legal in many states because it fails emissions. Also, the EGR is part of the combustion engine's cooling system, so not recirculating hot crank case gases works the rest of the cooling system harder, and potentially damages the pistons & cylinders.
The whole situation is a mess. Thankfully we have a second vehicle that's a regular gas engine, so we use that one for distance driving, and can just use this one for around-town driving while we figure out what to do next with it.

The OEM part is, as the service manager at the dealer put it, "on intergalactic back order."
They don't make the OEM part any more, and anyone who has new stock isn't selling it to other dealers. You might be able to find a Chinese version, but if you have a warranty or service plan, you're rolling the dice with it.
It'll be a class action suit one day, I feel it in me bones. 🏴☠️

It's from Latin in- (meaning "in" or "on") and dorsum (meaning "back"). Indorse comes to English through medieval Latin, and changed forms in the 15th century to endorse, around the time the roots of our modern court system took roots in Florence during the Inquisition.
The Florentine republic relied heavily on maritime trade, and so the court system was generally modeled around adjudication of Maritime law. Using the older Latin form lets creditors and courts know that the Sovereign is asserting Commerce law, the Law of the Land.
Am I making this up? Maybe.

I think that's the Gen2 or Gen3? I had a couple of them over a few years, and I'm ashamed to say I'm not sure whether I actually had the one in the photo, or the version just prior to it.

The Disarming nerf was disappointing, but there's still Flock which is just as effective over a larger area.
I just wish Evan had changed the glyph for Detect Magic because I've gotten bit by that mistake once or twice already.

Blast wave or force cube launched from just out of line of sight from the trap would work.
Or a seed of swiftwhistle as the other poster mentioned.
Edit: or Stone of Flock

Yes... -ish. Hurricanes are, in effect, a big heat engine that helps to distribute heat towards the poles from the equator. It is one of Nature's more efficient heat transfer mechanisms, among natural systems.
Hurricanes both draw heat from the ocean surface and the atmospheric boundary layer, and eject it into the upper air through convection and the latent heat released through condensation at the expense of warming the upper-mid layers of the atmosphere.. The surface level winds mix the sea surface waters into deeper layers, cooling the surface at the expense of warming the uppermost marine layers.
You don't, however, get anything for free. On a global scale the heat doesn't so much dissipate as it does just redistribute. The heat is all still there, it's just less concentrated in the equatorial surface-level atmospheric and marine layers by being distributed into upper atmospheric layers, deeper marine layers, and higher latitudes. The average temperature integrated across the entire volume of affected regions might be net lower, but not by enough to matter, and the system is still overall warmer than its long term average.

I have no specific basis to say so, but I distrust browser-based password managers on the principles of separation of function and mitigating risk. Strong my credentials in a browser just feels hinky, even with a master password. Too obvious of an attack vector. Rather, I use the KeepassDX variant with its MagicKeyboard feature. When I'm presented with a login prompt, I can use the keyboard switcher to launch KeepassDX, unlock my vault, and select the credentials entry. Then I can switch back to the browser (or app) and have MagicKeyboard enter the credentials for me.
It's a few more taps than just that, but it's a straightforward workflow that should mitigate leakage from my usual keyboard, clipboard snooping, and any hypothetical attacks against the in-browser vault workflow.
Plus, I know where my credentials are stored, can apply 2FA, and even back up the vault file to offline archives.
It works for me. "Cool story bro," I guess, is my point.

Sorry for the video link. Delete it if it's against the rules.
> A cargo ship with links to Russia packed with explosive fertiliser is floating off the Kent coast after being denied entry at other ports over safety fears. > > Ruby, a Maltese-flagged cargo ship carrying 20,000 tonnes of ammonium nitrate fertiliser from a port in Russia, was ordered out of Tromso in Norway and turned away from Danish waters.

Now that I think about it, it was probably before the pandemic. 🤔
ethical edit: For a toss-off gag that even I thought was a bit sketch, I'm learning a lot about this situation and I appreciate it
I have a few grinders I'd like to replace the stainless mesh between the middle and bottom chambers. Rather than try to track down the OEM info for the grinders, I figured it might be easier to source 60 micron stainless mesh stock and cut some rounds to size. I don't need much-- maybe the equivalent of a sheet or two of US Letter or A4 sized sheets or rolls. My google-fu is failing me and my local suppliers don't seem to understand what I need. Anyone here have a source for the screen stock? edit: solved! Thanks @teft!!
Fartology is an up and coming science.
I missed it in the release notes, but there's a breaking change in the `ota` component in ESPHome 2024.6.0. I figured I'd save folks some time and share the fix here. If your OTA config looks like this; ``` ... ota: password: "*************" num_tries: 3 safe_mode: on ... ``` Now you'll need to add a `platform` key to start a list, and either comment out the other option or move them to a new component. ``` ... ota: - platform: esphome password: "*************" #num_tries: 3 #safe_mode: on ... ``` edit: Here's the PR introducing this change https://github.com/esphome/esphome/pull/6459
Hear me out... I was raised, as my family does, to fearfully respect our kitchen knives. Respect their productivity, respect their sharpness, but overall respect their ruthlessness. Even the mildest of disrespect for my family's knives would earn you a nick of you were merely neglectful, and grievous harm if you spoke ill of their aptness. Of course, when I moved out and set up my own kitchens I acquired my own knives and tried to teach them better. How I was the master, and I was the steel wright. I lavished them with hand baths and fresh oils. I used only the gentlest of hardwoods on their blades and protected them from the hrllscape of the dishwasher. We lived in serene peace, an harmonic existence of a mealwright and his band of merry Riveners. And then one day, the Inheritance came. Grand Father had died, and his boning knives were my bequest. I was elated, but I would learn. My friends, that old knife had a soul. Not an evil soul, but a soul that had goals. It was hard steel that took a keen, harsh edge. Bright and tense, like a silver bell on a crisp winter morning. Not Solingen steel, so pliable and yielding as it is fickle in use. Grandfather's knives told you where to cut and if you hesitated, they would cut you instead in frustration. Impertinent things. Not evil, I would say. More, businesslike. My mistake was to lay them with my other knives. Did you know knives _talk?_ They do! They whisper to each other in their blocks at night when you are asleep. They whisper and they.learn from each other. A good papa hopes they learn the Art of their chef, but when you have a Bad Knife in the block? They learn that too. Now, all of my knives are angry knives. Not angry at me, necessarily, but angry at their lot in my kitchen, to suffer my children's abusive cooking lessons, my in-laws' insistent prep work degradations, and (occasionally) my neglect. They bit my wife tonight. Its a Message....
Happy Dad-dude's Day to all you who celebrate it!
Nobody's perfect.
Pretty sure we had the E9112 and E9116 back in the day. Now I have a legit B92FS but it doesn't squirt water. For work reasons. Ah, nostalgia. (Don't play with guns!)
