EV charging

Tesla went hard building charging stations. They picked their own connection style, made a lot of patents open, and built a ton of chargers.

No one else did.

Now Tesla is winning the EV charging format conflict.

Sounds like the way things should go. Hopefully, their no-dealership model wins as well.

P.S. I guess I’m not against dealerships. I’m against haggling. I want click online, get a price, and be done. I don’t want to come in and get a price. I don’t want to go back and forth, agree on a price, to later discover fifty different ways dealerships describe their tacked on fees. I’m not against dealers making profit, but I want it laid out, clearly, up front in an email. If car A costs $Xk or $X+1k, I want that in writing!

And I can’t get that unless I buy a car from a company with a direct sales model. So down with dealerships.

‘Read an article that said tacked-of-fees work for retailers. Good on them. I’ll go to other retailers.

Looloopa

I never know how silly to get in fiction. I want it to be dramatic, but I got jokes.

Eat and Sleep

It’s stressful to stop doing something unhealthy. If you go from eating garbage to healthy stuff, that transition hurts. Same for sleeping. When you’re exhausted all day, every day, you get into a rhythm. A few days of sleeping well and being rested really throw you off.

The Netherhells

Spinning instructor would be a great profession for a chaotic evil being who feeds on the suffering of others.

Some 100 pound lady in too much spandex with too much enthusiasm screaming, “Active rest! Get up on your toes!”

While I’m thinking, “I hate you, lady. I outweigh you by 150 lbs, and I despise you with all of them.”

This is why the villianesses in fantasy movies are always in bikinis.

Free Book

Mara is going to be free July 1st through 4th.

Also, pizza is not a good breakfast food.

Devious Schemes

I just went out and turned all the plants around. Now they’re growing toward the shade instead of the Sun.

That’ll confuse ’em!

Back in Denver

I’m going to get a pair of Birkenstocks and a tie-dye shirt, and start talking about how it’s the system, man. It’s the system.
