    Hackers got Us or UPS, it's cost us 150K so far....

    A third party investigation found nothing on our side. To even file an insurance claim we had to spend 15K on a 3rd party external audit. Our superior internal team had been on this tracking everything down, and told us an external search would yield nothing, and it didn't. They originally...

    Iv been "informed" by a discussion group, a calcite filter thats used for PH correction also has substantive filtration capability and turbidity reduction - ok, but what amount? What micron, how many NTU? I got questioned for putting a sediment filter in front of it, but cant get any...

    ID7 pro

    Seems pretty capable. Aside from the standard CCS network issues it put a great mpkwh and trip/ charge times on Bjorn's 1K KM trip run.

    Well Water Filters

    After about 7 Months from last install I started noticing a difference in water taste so I decided to change out the cartridges in the Pre filter, and the final carbon filter. For the pre-filter I use a 2.5x10 15 um string wound cartridge. I dried the filter for about a week in a paperbag, and...

    Pantry Storage Project

    Upgraded from A gladiator garage unit and wire rack to custom cabinetry. Got about a 50% increase in usable space and a bigger footprint in every dimension. Used a local cabinet guy and installer - no bandwidth to do it on my own so its feel like cheating and somewhat unworthy of commentary...

    Model 3 Uber in winter.

    Just got back from Chicago during a cold snap -7. Rode in both Model 3's and Pri'i repeatedly over the course of 4 days. They both ride equally poorly with 2 200lb guys in the back. The AWD unsurprisingly bests either models 2 wd. We could feel the slippage. The Teslas glass roof is real...

    Horological Meanderings..Atmos

    My tempurature differential driven Atmos clock is amazing piece of engineering. Last time I bumped the speed the first week in Jan, it was running a bit slow. I'm much closer to ideal but now a tiny bit fast. Its gained about a minute and a half this year, I'll bump it back down around new...

    Ford Mustang Mach-E Recalled Because Battery Can’t Handle Owners Flooring It

    The GT throttle you after 5 sec. not even halfway through 1 QTR mile run. The whole line had high voltage connector issues. Now this. Sad thing is - I like the car. They didnt get it right, and need to do a bunch of work. This tech is not easily copied...

    Worst. Rancher. Ever.

    Woke up to two young bulls and 2 cows in the road. Wife neighbor and I coaxed/ corralled them into the pasture directly across from my house. No brand, no tags. Cant find the owners driving all over, stopped in at the tack room (restaurant) nobody knows. Finally track down the neighbor and...

    Makita Auger...well this is awesome.

    When faced with the daunting task of putting 70+ plants from 4" to 5 gallon pot sized holes in the ground, this tool has been transformational.

    The nuclear group has waited on this for a while It turned out really sweet. Went with the base crate 454 (about 500/500) and new trans. The big 572 would wreck the stock stuff pretty quick so he kept it mellow.

    5 year old 21K mile Fram Ultra.

    This filter has been on my truck just over 5 years and 21K miles. ADBV still pliable and intact. Can came right off. Only very mildly crushed during removal. It was put on hand tight 5 years ago. Still wet but pleats look almost empty. Couple ugly pleats but nothing torn or moving. Mags...

    New Koken Spark plug kit...SWEET

    I feel like a real client. Metal box (wow) , thank you card, sticker kit...and fabulous tools. Everything is just fantastic. The extension wobble lock is a neat trick, the sockets and wrench little works of art. Order was missing a piece but it's acknowledged and accounted for properly - the...

    LG Chem or Jaguar?

    It will be interesting to see if this end up being LG Chems problem again (like bolt) or Jag for not getting the BMS right. https://insideevs.com/news/681478/jaguar-i-pace-battery-lawsuit/
