    Electric Car Ownership - Any Experiences?

    PG&E did not require that. I just registered for the EV rate (cheaper after 11 PM to 3 PM and on weekends) and the invoice for the charger. It is not like I am going to use the charger for anything but an EV ... My solar and battery combination has kept my bill below $20 (was often $800+) plus...

    Lexus CT200h or the new UX. Or a Prius. Toyota still has the best hybrid system. The 300h just an example of a full sized sedan with great mileage.

    I have been driving my Lexus Hybrid 300h for quite a while (2nd one of that model) and it gets great mileage. Prius are still available and Lexus has an upscale version of it.

    On a few of the topics here. EV chargers are fine in places with reasonable density. Driving around the SF Bay Area where I live, there are plenty. It really breaks down out of those areas. I drove to KC from LA when younger and there is no way there will sufficient charging to drive across...

    The fast chargers that Tesla has and some non-Tesla networks have really chops the charging time down. Not as fast as stopping at a gas station but fast. I have 200V service to my house so did not need to upgrade and then the solar system helped. EMPORIA EV Charger Level 2, 48... Amazon.com I...

    D&D General Let He Who Is Without Sin Cast the First Magic Missile: Why Gygax Still Matters to Me

    I have been pretty successful for decades getting my groups to switch from system to system. Often for just one shots to try it out, sometimes ending being years long campaigns. One thing that makes a big difference is that I sell the new system as fun. My groups are widely divergent in terms...

    D&D General Let He Who Is Without Sin Cast the First Magic Missile: Why Gygax Still Matters to Me

    Then don’t play D&D? I have shelves of non-D&D games. When I started I went from playing 0e (2 sessions) to running Holmes back to AD&D but we switched to Runequest (old style the I was the GM and bought it and ran it so my group played it). There have been non-D&D games for decades and SF and...

    D&D General Let He Who Is Without Sin Cast the First Magic Missile: Why Gygax Still Matters to Me

    Gygax actually directly addressed that in the AD&D rules. The summary being that the books were the definitive rules.

    Power went out about 8:30 AM at my place and my battery turned on in backup mode (whole house batteries are not UPS so I have my computer plugged into an actual UPS for the less than one second the house battery needs to take over). I run the battery to 40% each day but I can switch to just...

    I read that as a snarky and sarcastic answer, not the absolute proof that it seems to be regarded as.

    And pulling a permit from your town, which the electrican should do. I have 2 chargers, one in my garage and one on the side of my house. Both can be set to need the app to turn them on. Pretty much every home charger I see are app controlled and can have that setting.

    Electric Car Ownership - Any Experiences?

    Same for me. I did have to authorize the towing company to allow the adjuster to inspect the car but that is such a usual thing that they had a simple form for that. Once they gave me an offer and I accepted, the insurance company did everything else. It was all in the acceptance form and then...

    Insurance company does not just buy it from you? That is what happened when my ex-wife totaled my car.

    I met Gary once at a Gencon in Kenosa outside when I was smoking a cigarette. The 10-15 minutes we chatted without me even knowing who he was (could not see the name on his badge until finished smoking) was good. Other than that, I really like the game system he was a primary inventor on and I...

    Electric Car Ownership - Any Experiences?

    I was able to install a 240 volt level 2 charger without upgrading my panel. Depends on how robust your existing panel, it basically is adding an extra electric dryer to your house. Trickle charging with a 120 volt charger is fine for my daughter and her Leaf as she doesn't drive more than 20...

    Smaller hatchback I would recommend the Nissan Leaf. A big step up is the Tesla Model 3. I would look at the tax incentive for each and the final net cost. Level 2 charger at home is the easiest way to make sure the car is ready and charged. Tesla has the best charging network. For the Leaf I...

    D&D General Who’s going to GaryCon? Ticket sales are live

    I got my gold badge and will be there again next year. I did not find last year overly crowded. I did not get sick and nmost nof my group of friends did not. A few did, flu or covid, but that is a risk at any larger event in enclosed spaces. I wash my hands a lot, so that may have helped or I...
